They say opposites attract.

Chapter 17

It was a Saturday evening and Harry didn't know how he ended up in that situation. He was sitting. having lunch with Zayn, Daniel, Louis, Liam and Louis. It had been a week since Louis and Harry had screamed at each other and obviously, they didn't talk for that whole week. Both avoiding each other. Harry could sense a cycle. Confrontation. Avoidance. Confrontation. Avoidance. And so on. Harry was starting to get the hang of it. He was no longer speechless and confused. Yeah, he didn't understand it at all but he didn't overthink it like he had in the past.

"Harry, what are you gonna get?" Daniel asked, putting his arm above Harry, on the couch. Daniel was on Harry's left, Niall on his right and on the opposite couch sat Zayn, Liam and Louis. Zayn opposite Daniel, Liam opposite Harry and Niall opposite Louis.

Harry couldn't help but notice how Louis' eyes were staring at Daniel's arm that was around the couch. sending daggers towards his cousin. Louis must've hated how close Daniel and Harry had become. That made Harry love it even more. Harry decided to fuck with Louis as Louis had been doing for the past year. It was time for Harry to get satisfaction out of their situation.

Harry moved closer to Daniel, pretending to be looking at the menu Daniel held in his right hand, ignoring the fact that he had a menu right tin front of him. "Hm, I don't know. What are you going to get, Danny?" It was the first time Harry had called him that, Daniel was a bit surprised but smiled widely nonetheless. He could feel the death stare Louis was giving him without even looking up. He wouldn't dare looking up just yet.

"I was thinking fettuccine alfredo.." Daniel trailed off, looking through the menu.

"Mmm, wanna share?" Harry asked, looking up at Daniel through his long eyelashes. He wanted to piss off Louis.

Louis' menu slamming hard onto the table scared the shit out of Harry. He looked up to see a mad Louis staring right at them. "Oops, my bad." Louis fake smiled. No one really understood but no one cared to focus on it. But Harry knew he had caused it and it made him feel so good. He finally got under Louis' skin the way he had gotten under Harry's.

"Yeah, I'd love to Harry." Daniel replied. Harry was confused for a moment but then remembered he had asked him to share. He didn't really care, to be frank. He just wanted to piss Louis off and he was so glad it worked.

"Okaaaaay." Harry replied, just to be annoying. He wasn't really aware of what was happening around him, he had completely forgotten Zayn, Niall and Liam were even here. But they didn't seem to noticed that Harry was consumed with Daniel and Louis and he was really thankful that they were oblivious.

When Harry looked back up, Zayn and Liam were giggling together about something and it was so adorable. They had carried out their plan last weekend and the look on Liam's face Monday morning was enough to know it went well.

Harry walked towards his locker, really tired and not in the mood fro school. When he reached his locker, Liam was there leaning against it with a huge smile on his face, staring into space. Harry had forgotten to ask how the date went the previous day and by the looks of it- it had gone well. Liam never stared into space like a whipped teenage girl like that before. it was an adorable sight.

"Good morning Li." Harry greeted, smirk on his face. Harry's voice snapped Liam out of his daze, he was a bit surprised for a second.

"Hey..." He greeted back, looking around to see if anyone had noticed his daze.

"Spill," He shoved Liam's shoulder. "What happened yesterday?!" He whisper-yelled. Liam blushed in response. Harry smiled at that, he really wasn't used to seeing Liam like this. He was happy for his friend, he really was.
