That next week of school flew by. Once they turned in their project Louis and Harry didn't speak for days. Harry felt like they might never speak again.

Louis on the other hand, was waiting until Zayns parents left for vacation to invite Harry to the party his friend was throwing. Louis and Zayn had talked and Zayn was going to allow Louis to use his bedroom, so he and harry could hang out without the party and still be in a somewhat public setting. Louis was really nervous but today was the day. He had to invite Harry to the party and hope he would go.

"Don't be so nervous Lou, I'm sure he'll come." Zayn assured him.

"He probably wont, but whatever."

Zayn scoffed, "He likes you."

"Sure."

"So dramatic." Zayn laughed. 

Louis' nerves were growing by the second. As soon as he saw Harry walk into history class he felt like he was going to pass out. Harry was so beautiful, Louis wasn't sure how something could be so perfect. 

As Harry took his seat Louis took a deep breath and started towards him. 

"Hey Harry."

Harry's breath hitched as he forced out a small "Hello."

"I was wondering if you would be interested in going to Zayns party tonight? His parents are out of town. "

"Yeah that sounds awesome. Just text me his address, ill uber there." Harry said, not able to contain his smile. 

"No need to uber, I can pick you up! I'll be at yours around 8."

"Cool, ill see you then." 

Louis walked away grinning from ear to ear. It had went well. And Harry was coming to the party. 

Louis felt a wave of nervousness as he thought back to sophomore year. He didn't want this to be like the brad situation. He didn't want anyone to find out until he was certain that he had a future with Harry. They had really only just met, but Louis couldn't help but feel such a strong attraction to him. 

The day seemed to drag on for both boys. Harry was dwelling on what he was going to wear to the party for 4 periods in a row, and he still wasn't completely sure what his outfit was going to be. Its not like he had that many options. Most of his stuff was black and tight. 

When it finally hit 8 o'clock Harry was standing right by his front door waiting for a knock. His parents had went out that night thankfully. He didnt have to explain to them why he was so happy. They seemed to not like it when Harry felt joy. Harry honestly resented them. 

Finally a knock at the door rang through the air. 

Harry waited a few seconds before swinging the door open. 

"Hey, You look... Great." Louis said.

Harry blushed a small bit and replied with a quite "You too. "

As they walked outside, Harry saw Louis car. It was such a nice car, he was quite shocked. 

"Wow." Harry said.

Louis laughed, " I know right? My grandpa gave it to me for my 18th birthday."

They got in the car and Louis turned on some music. It was 'The Smiths' one of Harrys favorite bands. 

"You like The Smiths?" Louis asked.

"Their actually one of my favorites."

They seemed to really be hitting it off but the drive from Harrys to Zayns was only a short 5 minuets. 

Harry assumed since it was only 8 there would be just a few people there standing around. But boy, was he wrong. People at West Jefferson high school really know how to party. Thankfully he knew Liam and Niall would be here so he was little less terrified. 

Louis and Harry walked in together and he immediately saw Niall chatting it up with some girl named Tara. 

'Good for him' Harry thought to himself. 

"Hey guys nice to see you!" Zayn shouted over the loud alternative music. 

Harry waved so he wouldn't have to shout over the loud music and Louis just pointed over to the drinks to let Zayn know he was going to get a beer. Zayn just nodded his head. It was like they had their own language. Harry was somewhat jealous of their bond.

Harry followed Louis over to the small table where a bunch of alcohol was laying and grabbed a beer.

Before Louis even have a chance to open his beer a bunch of girls from the junior class came up to him.

Louis was smiling and making conversation which made Harry feel like a complete fuck head.

How could he have thought Louis was gay? He was just being friendly and Harry mistook it for something else. Or so he thought. 

After a few minuets Louis finally got the girls to go away but when he turned around harry was gone. He sighed and trotted upstairs hoping to find him somewhere up there. 

When he got to the top of the stairs he saw all the doors where open except Zayns. Louis slowly turned the doorknob and poked his head the room. 

There sat Harry on zayns bed looking at a picture from Zayns 8th birthday party. It was a picture of him and Louis at the zoo with birthday hats on. 

"We were only 8 in that photo." Louis said while sitting down on the bed.

"You were cute." Harry said softly.

Louis could tell Harry was shy, and he liked that about him. 

"Oh so im not anymore?" Louis joked.

"No, you are cute. I mean, your not I mean... You know what i mean."

"Woah harry don't get your panties in a bunch i was just messing with you. " 

Harrys face turned red and he thought he might fall over and die right there. .

"You know, you're cute too Harry." Louis said, this time a lot less confident.

"Stop messing with me" Harry rolled his eyes

"Im not, honestly. I think you're very attractive." Louis wasn't sure why he was saying these things. He knew he didn't have the balls to come out. And he really didn't want to lead Harry on. But the lad was just so damn attractive. 

Harry wasn't sure what to say. he wasn't expecting this. Especially being this sober. 

"Are you pranking me or something?"

"What? No, why would i do that."

"I mean, i know Zayn is close friends with George. So what if he just set you up to do this. " 

"I hate hate that fucker Harry. I hate  him so much for what he did to you."

Louis hand slowly reached out to grab harrys hand. 

Harry didnt know what he was doing but confidence over came him. He grabbed Louis face and gently kissed him. And to his surprise, Louis was kissing back.
