louis tomlinson was one of the most popular people in his high school in his home in doncaster. everyone knew him and loved him. he was captain of the footie team and he had tons of female attention. but you would never find louis tomlinson in a relationship though. but that's because he's gay.

louis has known that he was gay since year 10 and him being in year 12 now, he had still not been open about himself. everyone just knew him as: "louis tomlinson, the extremely hot, football player". louis didn't feel like he needed to tell anyone about his sexuality because it honestly isn't anyone's business. he doesn't want to be defined by something that not many people accepted in his home. and not only that, but because his parents wouldn't have it under their roof.

louis parents are very religious. the live by the bible pretty strictly. they went to church every morning. they went to wednesday night bible study. his parents also attended men and women's prayer circles.

louis walked into school one day in the middle of september, the start of the school year and heard calls from all of his friends.

"oi there lou, where ya been all holiday?" his best friend stan called from down the hallway.

"me and me family went and stayed with my gran. what you been up to?"

"oh you know, just the usual." he said bringing his friend into a hug.

the loud bell rung throughout the hallways meaning louis has 5 minutes to get to his calculus class on hallway c.

"oi catch you later lad!" louis called over his shoulder as he jogged down the hall.

he walked into his class and started for the middle of the room when he noticed that there was someone already sitting in his desk. a tall chocolate haired boy with a long black sleeves shirt on, his nose buried in a copy of harry potter.

"oi what house are you in then?" louis asked the boy who was sitting in his seat.

"oh em, im in ravenclaw." he spoke very slowly and louis found himself hanging on to every syllable.

"nice there i'm a hufflepuff." louis stated very proudly, "what's your name then?"

"i'm harry styles." the boy said reaching out his hand to shake louis. louis saw a very big, ruby red ring on his finger and a gold watch wrapped around his wrist. harry's very large hand captured louis incredibly small hand in its warmth.

"it's really great to meet you harold, i'm louis tomlinson" louis didn't know where the nickname came from, it just came out.

"harold?" harry asked, still sitting in louis desk.

"yes that is what i will call you when you are in trouble. and you are in my desk so..."

"well it's not your desk anymore then innit?"

"well actually-"

"nope lewis, you lost rights to this seat when i came in today you'll just have to sit somewhere else."

louis stomped his foot on the ground like a 5 year old.

"oh don't throw a tantrum love i was only teasing." harry said standing up and gripping louis upper arms.

louis didn't really comprehend how tall harry was in relation to himself. but when the boy had stood up and towered over him, he completely understood.

"how's the weather up there?" louis said grinning.

"it's great although a bird just flew into my head" harry said a slight chuckle coming from his lips.
