coachella | l.s

Chapter 3

The music was so loud, it could blow out their eardrums at any moment. But Harry and Niall could not stop jumping, and pumping their fists in the air to the DJ. There were so many people that surrounded them in the tent and it was like the party of the world. Dancing was everywhere that you looked, and no one cared who was watching. They were just having a good time, like one should be at Coachella.

The boys had even spotted a couple of celebrities such as Stevie Wonder and Jennifer Lopez. Niall would not let up until he got a picture with JLo, and she was nice enough to take a few with each of the two. He was very smiley afterwards, almost tomato red at the near presence of her.

It was around sunset when the boys went to look for something to eat. It had been hours since they'd eaten some food, and Niall was disapproving, forgetting the music once his stomach growled. They found a stand that was selling burgers, hotdogs, and even fried chicken. Niall ordered a bucket of fried chicken while Harry just got some fries. They got a huge slurpee to share, and it was huge.

"Man, this place is amazing!" Niall said with a mouth full of chicken. Harry nodded, eating a french fry. There was still so much to do and see. Other than the music, there were little tents that included different things, and let's not forget the gigantic ferris wheel.

Harry was not a big fan of roller coasters, but a ferris wheel he could do. He'd just not have to look down, he would probably freak out. They were going to wait until it was dusk to get on. The time was getting close, and the line was getting longer.

"Ferris Wheel?" Harry suggested. Niall grinned and nodded, finishing his last piece of chicken. They threw their trash away, and headed towards the line for the ferris wheel. It wasn't that long, but it would be a long wait.

"You're not scared?" Niall asked Harry, who was tapping his foot rhythmically.

"What kind of question is that?"

"Just curious."

Harry shook his head and chuckled. "Hmm, okay."

The line moved forward, and sooner than later, the boys were second to go next. They'd began chatting to the girls in front of them. Well, actually, the girls noticed how attractive Niall and Harry were and wanted to start up a conversation.

Right before the girls were about to get on, they asked if they wanted to ride with them. Niall smiled, and looked over at Harry, who was looking down. "No, thank you," he mumbled without looking at them.

Niall also denied after him, and the girls looked disappointed for a moment. When the girls were up and gone, the boys moved forward, waiting for their turn.

"Are you all right, Harry?" Niall asked when Harry was still looking down.

"Yeah, just thinking." Then Harry was suddenly shoved by someone behind him. Niall caught his arm before he fell forward.

"What the heck? Watch it, mate," Niall told the guy.

"Sorry, my friend just got a little pushy there."

Harry's eyes widened. He recognized that voice, how could he not? He whipped his head around and saw no other than the little bean named Louis. His hair was combed to the side neatly, and it still looked incredibly soft and touchable. He wore a white T-shirt and a pair of cut off jean shorts which showed off his strong legs. Someone must be a runner or good at football.

Harry said no words. He was just shocked to see Louis again, and out of all places Coachella. First Starbucks, now here. He hoped he wasn't thinking that he was stalking him or something. It was just another coincidence.
