Smitten

Chapter 3

*Harry's POV
I felt a tinge of sadness as I looked at my mum and Gemma (my sister) walk away. We had just said our goodbyes and hugged each other. It was almost as if they didn't care that we wouldn't really meet for weeks now... No, I was probably overthinking and pointlessly spoiling this for myself. I had things to do, pllaces to go, people to meet- oh wait, I really did have to meet Louis! No time to find my room, it was already 4:40pm. I went to the washroom and fixed my hair in the mirror there. I wonder if I should drop a hint about being gay to Louis as I obviously had an interest in him...but I didn't want to scare him off by being too forward-after all, we had just met and had a long ride together what with being in a group and all. I looked at the mirror, stared at my eyes and said to myself,"Harry Styles, you will not fuck this up, even if this means that you have to put yourself last." Louis was going to be in my group. The last thing I wanted was a tension between us that would affect the group. I took a last look at the mirror, tugged my shirt into place and started walking to the cafè. 

At the cafè:
*Louis' POV
I watched as Harry walked in. He spotted me and smiled. My attempt at smiling back probably made me look constipated. I felt weird in my chest, it was ...weirdly tingly? I must have just got the flu or something. Why are Harry's lips moving so much.. Oh, Harry's been asking me something!
"Earth to Louis!"
"Sorry. I was a bit distracted."I replied.
"It's alright. I get it. I've been overwhelmed too, with the group thing and all that,"Harry said. "Oh, here. Your jacket. Thank you."
*pause as Louis realises that he had zoned out again when Harry was talking.
Louis: Oh yeah. Sure. Uh...anytime. And here's your cardigan. It's quite warm.
Harry: I know. So, are you hungry?
Louis: Actually, yeah. I'm starved. You?
Harry: *grins* Are you kidding? I could eat a horse right now.

They ordered coffee, sandwiches and a bit of cake.

Louis: So, how old are you Harreh?

Harry: I'm 16 and a half. (Jokingly) Don't forget the half. What about you?

[Louis cracked a smile at Harry's attempt at being funny.]

Louis: I'm 18. Did I tell you that this  is my second time at the auditions?

Harry: No, I don't think so. What happened the first time?

Louis: I didn't get through but they told me to try again in a couple of years. So that's what I'm doing. And it's going pretty well at the moment. YAY!

Harry: Hey, don't scream. That's not very nice.

Louis: Sorreh Harreh. See what I did there!!

Harry couldn't help himself, he chuckled. Then, he looked down at his watch.

Harry: It's 6:30. We need to go back. We have to attend that dinner thing at 8:00 and I need to change. Also, *Harry's POV

Harry: It's 6:30. We need to go back. We have to attend that dinner thing at 8:00 and I need to change. Also, none of us know what  we are going to call our group. We really need to come up with a name soon.

Louis: Well, you have any ideas? 'Cause I don't. Unless you want the band to be called 'the King ft. the Peasants 4'.

Harry: Ew no! What do you think of 'One Direction'? Because we're all heading in the same direction um, up or forward.

Louis: That's pretty f*cking good Hazza! I vote for One Direction. YAY!

Louis reached over to ruffle Harry's hair.

Louis: Okay, let's go.

They got out of the cafè and started walking back to where their rooms were.
