Harry didn't show up for school the next day. Not even as the whole team was being called in to the office and questioned the absence of Harry Styles.

As always, Louis stayed quiet. He listened politely as to what Principal Wilson has to say, and agreed to anything he wanted them to agree on.

They all walked out one by one with a suspension note except for Louis who was being called back by the principal everyone seems to hate.

Right now Louis was seated, hands on his lap, one leg jumping with nerves.

"You aren't in so much trouble," Mr. Wilson says.

Louis nodded his head in understanding, "why didn't I get a suspension note?"

The principal smiled, "because I looked back at all of your school records and there's no trance of delinquency in your part."

"So?"

"So that means that I don't want Harry to be the cause of your fall out," Mr. Wilson said. "I believe you know better than to hang around a guy like him."

Louis nodded, "I do."

"So then what's the problem?"

"There is no problem, sir," Louis said. "I joined to work my senior project which i was partnered with Harry. It's only for me to get closer to him, to get an A."

Mr. Wilson snorted, "you'd put yourself through so much trouble with that kid to get an A on an assignment you could've worked alone?"

Louis bit his lip, "I chose him because I felt in that moment that I needed something new in my life and when I first spoke to Harry in the schools bathroom, he wasn't just fixing his appearance in the mirror, or simply giving someone a handy, he was dying his pink hair back to brown and I don't see that anywhere."

"You chose to be his partner simply because he was dying his hair?" Mr. Wilson asked.

"No, because my two friends, Liam and Niall, had told me to stay away from him and I spent three years of my high school life following orders from a guy that I just wanted to stop."

"Stop what?"

Louis frowned, "stopped being taken advantage of."

It became silent after that. Louis had stopped shaking his leg and the principal didn't bother writing him up as well.

Instead he gave Louis another detention and a warning.

The lad thanked him and left the office and walked towards his class in hope to see Harry there.

Harry was in trouble. His phone had gotten taken away, he wasn't allowed to leave the house, not even to go to school.

He told his mum about the eggs and the principal had called to tell him that he will be calling him in to the office to talk about a possible expulsion.

By now he knew his team had probably gotten suspended, but he knew Louis didn't.

They are smart enough not to ruin the boy's record as in hope to make Louis realize what he's doing wrong.

Despite not having a mobile phone, Anne clearly forgotten that Harry did have access to a laptop that was hidden underneath his bed.

The lad wasn't stupid. If his mum were to find the laptop, he had a tablet and an iPod, it won't end.

Harry logged on to twitter and instantly was hit with messages and tweets by the school and his teammates. He expected to see one from Louis, but frowned as he looked and saw the lads name wasn't on top of the recent messages.
