Harry's Pov

The ending of school the next day.....

School was over, so I headed outside to find Louis. The entire day he acted a bit peculiar. Sure I mean I didn't really notice anything different about him, but something was strange. I didn't know what it was, but I knew it was something. Earlier today, we walked by Niall and Liam. Making sure I gave them no eye contact at all, I glanced over to Louis. His eyes looked frantically at Niall's. The little second we walked by, Niall had enough time to mouth an amount of words to I suppose Louis since nobody else really wasn't around. This was so weird to think of, but are Niall and Louis friends or something? I mean, I didn't know. I wasn't going to ask Louis either. Who wants a nosy person asking them a bunch of questions and who there hanging out with? The answer is nobody, because nobody wants a nosy friend.

"Hey Lou, want me to walk you home again?" I asked him once I finally reached him outside.

His eyes were darting everywhere but mine.

"Uh, no, no not today Harry. I have to do something after school today."

Both of us started walking together. I had to go the opposite direction, so I hadn't had a clue on why I was still walking with Louis.

"Oh, okay then. Well what are you doing? I could come over after work if you want me to?"

The pace of his walking increased.

"No Harry, maybe tomorrow. I'm gonna be late, so I'll see you tomorrow." Louis said looking at his watch.

He carried on with his walking. All I did was stand in place like some sort of statue.

"Alright, see you tomorrow Lou !" I yelled at him.

He waved at me from the distance he was away from me.

Walking the opposite direction, I face palmed my face. I was so fucking stupid. He probably thought I was clinging on to him. I didn't want him to think that. I really like Louis. I want him to stay my friend. Not because I have none besides him, but because he brightens up my day. Everyone has that one friend when even though they feel like absolute crap and want to die, seeing them makes you laugh and smile like never before. Louis was that friend for me. I've been through so much in my life already, and it was absolutely killing my mind before Louis had arrived only days ago. Come to think of it, I built up a bit of confidence because of Louis. I actually stood up to Zayn and everything. That was one thing I thought I would never do in my entire high school life.

I took my phone out of my pocket to check the time. It was 3:00. I had to be at work by 3:10. I don't think my boss would excuse another almost tardy, so I had to run in order to get to the bakery in time.

Louis' Pov

I waved to Harry while he said goodbye to me. The entire day I didn't even have the courage to look at him in his eyes. I was a good liar, but I couldn't look at those emerald green eyes and lie to Harry like that. Earlier today Harry and I saw Niall and Liam in the hallway. Looking over to Niall, he mouthed

"Bathroom in 10 minutes."

Harry looked like he tried his best to figure out what Niall had said, but he seem too worried in wanting to know who Niall said it to. Ten minutes later, I met Niall in the bathroom. He strictly gave me instructions to not forget to meet him in the downtown bakery today after school. Of course I asked him was Liam and Zayn going to be there, but he reassured me they weren't.
