A vibration erupted from the phone on Louis' desk. He jumped at the phone, scooping it up quickly so the vibration wouldn't cause another disruption. Luckily the sound didn't attract the attention of the teacher and he unlocked the phone to check the notification.

Louis quickly locked his phone and looked up from his desk. He searched the room for the blonde boy and when he spotted the boy he was fast asleep on his desk. The blonde boys desk was only a few feet away from Louis so the feathery haired boy took the chance to throw a pen at Niall. The pen gracefully flew through the air lightly hitting Niall on the top of the head. The blonde ones head shot up from the desk.
"Aye! What do you think you are doing?" He whispered harshly.
Louis giggled at the sight but he quickly composed himself and put a serious face on. He patted the seat next to him gesturing for Niall to come sit. The other boy hesitated for a second before standing and making his way over to Louis quietly. After Niall sat down Louis pulled out his phone and showed the blond boy the messages.
"What is this, Niall?" He asked in a stern tone.
"Awe man... That's... That's uh... A friend of mine," He replied rubbing the back of his neck.
"Why are you giving my number to strangers?"
"I'm not! He isn't a stranger!"
"He's a stranger to me!"
"Well... He thinks you are cool and he wants to be your friend."
Louis leaned back and sighed. He looked at his phone and then back at Niall. He wasn't as upset with him as he probably should have been. He turned to face Niall, putting his phone away as he turned.
"Tell me about this stranger." Louis spoke quickly. When Niall registered what he said he smiled wide.
"Well, Harry is new here. He's in band and is probably transferring to your class soon. He has long, curly hair and green eyes. He is a Freshman, like us, and he is really good at making really bad jokes. I mean... you just have to meet him."
"A new band student!? Wow, what does he play."
"Not sure, you just gotta tal-" Niall was interrupted by the bell ringing. Louis started to gather his things as Niall continued the conversation.
"You just gotta talk to him some more. I think you two will get along," Niall continued as he picked up his book bag.
"Anyway, I'll see you in class tomorrow morning, Louis."
"See you then," Louis replied picking his bag up. He checked his pocket for his phone and pulled his keys out of the front pocket in his book bag. After retrieving his keys, he left the classroom and followed the hallway to the parking lot. He avoided the other humans in the hallway, waving at the few he knew. When he arrive at his car he unlocked it and got in quickly, not wanting to be at school anymore. After starting the car he turned the radio up humming the words to Wild by Troye Sivan. After making it home he walked up the stairs to his house, stopping to pet his cat that was resting on a step.
"Hi Tiger," He spoke in a baby voice to the cat scratching the kitty between his ears. When he was finished he stood up and went inside. He threw his book bag on a table in the kitchen and continued down the hallway to his room. When he arrived in his room he plugged his phone up and set it on his bedside table. He crawled into his bed wrapping himself in the fluffy blue comforter. Suddenly a loud vibration rattled his table. He peeked at his phone from over the covers.

Harry looked up from his phone, he had totally forgotten his TV was turned on. He was too invested in his conversation with Louis. Harry had seen the feathery haired boy a few times in the hallway and he wanted to be his friend after hearing Niall speak so fondly of him. He had been going to this new school for about a week now and Niall was pretty much his only friend so he wanted to take the time to make more friends.
Harry stood up from the chair in his bedroom and walked to his closet to look for some pajamas. After finding what he wanted he walked to the bathroom and started the shower. The shower he took lasted about a half hour and after he was done he put on his pajamas and returned to his room. He checked his phone.

Louis locked his phone and turned on his side to face his wall. As he drifted away he dreamed of the day to come.
