Dancing in the Rain (One Direction AU)

First Period

Well hey guys. Long time no see huh? I cannot apologise enough for not updating for the past nine months. The last year of high school tends to drain all your energy and motivation plus I've had work, getting ready for university and also a falling out within my friend group. Yeah, that was very tense and awkward.

So anyway hope you enjoy the update. I am hoping to get back into the swing of things and update again soon (no promises though)

Harry's POV

"Seriously? That's your plan?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at the purple post-it note in the hand of my overly energetic best friend.

"Yep!" he replied, an enthusiastic grin spread across his face.

"And you spent the whole of summer devising this plan?"

"Yep!"

"Why is my best friend a complete and total idiot?" I whispered, looking up to the heavens for an answer but got none. I sighed, shaking my head a little. "Lou, that's got to be one of the most stupidest ideas you've ever come up with. It's not going to work."

"How do you know?" he retorted. "I haven't put it in motion yet."

"Because sticking a post-it note with your number on a girl's back isn't going to seduce her."

He stuck his tongue out at me. "You're so negative. Have a little faith in me!"

"If I had a penny for every time I've heard that..." I muttered, getting a punch on the shoulder in reply. "Hey!"

"Look, there she is!" he whispered excitedly, smiling crookedly as the object of his desires appeared from around the corner twirling a locker key. Eleanor Calder, a water spirit with invisibility whom had somehow, as Louis put it, 'stolen my heart and left me completely powerless against the allure of her passionate soul.' Where he comes up with this stuff, I have no idea. Maybe he's the reincarnation of a famous poet or something.

"Here, I go, wish me luck!" I lifted two fingers to my head in a mock salute, a sly grin tugging at my lips. I watched as he casually walked towards her and sneakily stuck the post-it note to her brown shoulder bag before quickly turning around and scurrying back to me. "Let's go go go!" he hissed as he strode past me.

"Why are you in such a rush?" I asked as I caught up to him. "It's not like she's gonna shoot you or anything."

"I just want to get to class on time, that's all." he replied briskly.

"Yeah, sure."

Our conversation was cut short as the pink panther theme song started to play from the pocket of Louis's pants. He stopped walking before quickly fishing it out and holding it to his ear. "Hello?" I smirked as his face started to turn bright red as the person on the other side spoke (though I have a pretty good idea of who it was) After about a minute, he hung up and slid the phone back in his pocket, face still so red it looked like he was part lobster.

"So what'd she say?" I asked, still smirking.

"She asked me why I'd given her a note when we'd known each other since we were kids," he muttered, gaze turned downwards.

"And...." I prompted, waving my hands in a go on gesture. He muttered something that I couldn't make out and his face became even more red (if that was even possible) "Sorry, what was that?"

"She said yes,"

"See, I told you she would." I grinned. "And how long have I been saying that to you Lou?"
