Advanced Script for Pros (Larry Stylinson)

Chapter 2: Stripped black trousers

"Don't do it" Liam said, breaking the silence of the boys walking to the park near by "You know I never agree with Louis Tomlinson on absolutely anything, but this time, I have to"

"He'll murder your self-esteem Haz, plus he is clearly racist and a homophobe" Zayn adds

Harry keeps walking looking down, Liam keeps mentioning times in class where Louis had been nothing but awful to him "He called you Miss Daisy that time you went with your big brown hat, and then a crop farmer!" Harry smirks at this remarks, for them they were funny "he says you write for the pussyheads, what does that even mean?"

Finally the boys arrive to the small park and sit in one of the 4 legged wooden tables, the place is kind of empty, only occasional runners and some dog walkers, everyone takes out their lunch sandwiches (but Harry who is in a juice cleanse) and go on talking about Louis and his awful self, Harry just listens, nods and zips his funny looking juice to Niall's disgust.

"You're quiet Haz" Zayn looks at him and Harry doesn't respond "Harry?" he puts his hand in front of Harry's face and tries waking him up from his daydream

"Yeah" he says right after "My ideal partner wasn't Louis" he assures "I do listen to what he says, just that it's criticism, nothing personal"

"He keeps messing with your clothing, the way you walk, the way you talk, your hair" Liam steps in "Seems a little too personal for me"

"But he isn't a bad guy, he is just misunderstood that's all" Harry explains "He helped Niall that one time, that was heroic"

"One time" Niall raises his finger

Liam then brings in the topic of the actual work, how making a screenplay that long wasn't the easiest, that the writers needed to have more than just a meet or two, but a connection, in order to make the characters make sense, two different writing styles should mix and blend to create the ultimate pro writing fantasy.

"How are you achieving that with someone that barely looks at you?"

"And if he does, is to hate on you" Zayn agrees with Liam "Harry this is your grade, not ours, we are just concerned friends" all the boys nod in agreement "If you want to befriend Louis Tomlinson after, then no one will stop you, but we've been in this course for 4 months already, and he haven't made it easy for you, so I wouldn't see the point of actually talking to the little prick"

It was true; something in Zayn's statement was indeed true. When they started the course, Harry felt flattered to even be in, for the first class he was wearing stripped black trousers and a long black coat, he was feeling himself, even took a picture of the whole outfit. As soon as he stepped in the class, one boy caught his attention, Louis. He looked distant although he was in the first row, Harry stare for a little while until Louis caught him "What are you looking at tranny Beetlejuice" a defensive Louis said. Harry just walk faster to his seat, and never wore those trousers again.

The next months, Harry created different imaginary scenarios in which he spoke with Louis, and got good answers from him, not an insult, not a compliment, just... a nice boy. But every time he entered the class, Louis was already there, pissed at the world, and even more pissed at him for no reason. Until certain extent all his group of lads was right, working with Louis was far from perfect, but Harry did want to try.

"I'll give it a try" he said out loud "Plus, Mr. Owen said this was going to be a challenge, and I take those seriously, so I will find my way with Louis Tomlinson, he won't kill me in the process"

"That's debatable" Niall grins

Harry smiles too, all the lads say goodbye, asides from Liam and Zayn who are going to stay in the library trying to figure out which topics they are going to cover. Niall and Harry walk the entire park in silence, a comfortable silence that was Harry's favorite.
