"So... Where's Harry happen to be today? Usually he's attached to your hip. Well, when you guys are... together anyways." Zayn said softly, throwing the football towards Louis, who caught it and then rolled his eyes at Zayn's words. "Did you two break up again by any chance?"

"No, Zayn, we aren't broken up." Louis said and then threw the football back at Zayn, who caught the ball, taking a few steps back due to the force of the ball being thrown at him.

"Geez, sorry." Zayn apologized as he looked at Louis and then threw the ball back easily to Louis, putting his arms up in defense afterward.

They were hanging out on their school's football field, just talking and throwing the ball back and forth to each other. It was something they did pretty often, just out of boredom.

"So, where is he then?" Zayn asked with an amused smile. He'd been friends with Louis since the first grade and pretty much knew Louis better than anyone else did. Well, except maybe Harry.

"Some lame dinner party his parents went to." Louis explained as he threw the ball back to Zayn, knowing that he loved knowing all their drama, having been there since the very beginning of it all. Though often times he was on Harry's side more than Louis', which annoyed Louis.

"So... next time you break up with him, any chance that I could possibly hit that?" Zayn asked, tossing the ball to Louis, completely joking of course, but he knew his little remark would get a reaction out of Louis.

Louis didn't answer and instead threw the ball straight at Zayn's face with brutal force. Luckily Zayn caught it before it could actually hit him, though he stumbles back a bit.

"Hey, I was kidding, mate." Zayn chuckled and then followed Louis to the bleachers as he walked along, sitting next to him and placed the ball on hus lap as he looked over at his best friend.

Louis pulled the box of cigarettes from his pocket as well as his lighter as soon as he'd sat down, a habit he'd promised to quit but hasn't made much of an effort to. He took a cigarette out and then put the box in his pocket again and lit the cigarette before sliding the lighter into his pocket and then lifted the cigarette to his lips, taking a drag from it.

"Don't joke about sleeping with him." Louis said with all seriousness as he blew the smoke from his lungs and looked at the sky, squinting as he watched as the sun became hidden by a large and fluffy white cloud.

"You know, you never seem to care about him until someone says something moderately dirty or bad about him. Why is that?" Zayn asked as he looked at Louis with a curious look on his face.

Louis only took another drag of the cigarette and then slowly blew the smoke out again, glancing at Zayn with an annoyed look. He didn't bother answering and decided to instead stay quiet as he smoked his cigarette.

"I've gotta get going soon." Louis informed Zayn softly. "I promised Harry that I would send him some nudes that he never asked for." He said with a small smirk. "If I'm lucky he'll send me some later, but I'm never really that lucky."

"What went on last night?" Zayn asked and then rolled his eyes playfully when Louis' didn't answer and instead just looked at him. "Niall said that you two got into another argument last night." Zayn explained softly and looked at Louis with a small smile, loving to torment Louis when it came to his relationship and how he happened to handle things that involved Harry.
