"Harry."

"Earth to Harry."

Liam waves his spoon from side to side in front of his face and the brunette eventually comes down from the clouds, paying attention to the food in front of his plate.

"Yeah, sorry. What were you saying?"

"You know, no matter how much you stare over to his table, its not going to make him appear."

Harry glances over to the round table where Niall and Zayn are sitting and rolls his eyes before looking back to Liam, not wanting to admit defeat or admit at all.

"I wasn't-"

"I don't want to hear it. Anyways, we need to go shopping soon. Not that we don't have enough time but I'd rather have first pick instead of leftovers."

"Mmm...what are we talking about again?"

Harry asks apologetically, yet only earns an unamused expression from Liam, who flickers some of his grape jelly onto his friends face, definitely attentive at this point.

"I'm sorry."

"Homecoming Dance. Tuxedos. Dibs."

"Ahh, right. Dance."

"You're still on with Emma?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

Harry scoops some of his corn and brings it up to his mouth, engaged, Liam shrugging his shoulders in front of him before tilting his head slowly over the left of it.

"Just thought you'd change your mind."

"Regarding what? Going?"

"More like, who you're taking."

Liam hides his smile behind his carton milk and watches unconvinced at an baffled Harry choking up on whatever excuse he tries to make up, although he falls short.

"I don't know what you're trying to imply but-"

"You know exactly what I'm trying to imply."

"Liam."

Harry says sternly and Liam scoffs before grabbing a hold of his own bowl of peas, shaking his head in disappointment he purposely tries to show.

"I'm going with Emma and there's been no one else in mind."

"Are you sure because I'm pretty certain he's been on it since you've boarded the bus."

"That's preposterous. My mind has better things to do than think of Louis' absence or him being my date to homecoming."

"I never specified Louis but thanks for the information."

Liam stands looking smug as hell and Harry can only scrunch his nose in disgust when he's walking towards the trashcan, himself still sitting in front of his unfinished corn.

"You're sick."

"I'm not the one acting like a helpless pup missing his owner." Liam yells back and Harry can feel other eyes on him, not helping his situation.
