"Louis! I want you to meet someone," Niall called out, dragging his friend by the arm. Louis looked up from his phone to face his Irish friend and a stranger. He fixed his fringe and got up, "All right, who is this person?" The younger boy waved shyly, "I'm Liam Payne." Louis raised his eyebrow, "Payne? Like the word 'pain'?" Liam gave him a confused look, "Um, I guess?"

Niall groaned, "This is Louis, Louis Tomlinson. He can be a pain the arse sometimes." Liam nodded, already seeing what he meant. Louis sighed, "Sorry, but I promise I'm a fun person! We should go poke fun at Mr. Harry over there." Niall laughed as he ran along with Louis while Liam stayed behind. Louis stopped and turned around, "Are you coming?" Liam shook his head, "I don't thinking bothering a person is fun. It's rude."

Louis groaned, "It's Harry, he's not going to be upset. What's fun to you?" Liam shrugged, crossing his arms as he faces the floor.

"You're no fun, I'm going to teach you on how to have fun since we're going to hang out."

Liam gave him a glare, then shook his head as he walks up to Niall. Louis looked at him walk away, "Yeah, I'm going to corrupt him."

"Louis, I'm kind of glad we're getting to know each other more," Liam spoke as he passed the basketball to Louis. Louis looked at him and smiled, "Same, mate. You are a really cool person, and I've taught you to be more fun. I'm proud." Liam rolled his eyes and fixed his curls, "I've been fun, it's just you didn't like my version of fun." Louis bounced the basketball and threw it to the hoop, which he missed.

"Well, I want you to experience more in life. After you told me about your childhood, it's been my mission to make you experience more in life, you know? Be confident and have fun. Not even give a shit about anything."
