Chapter 4

Harry's POV

Louis and I are friends! I thought excitedly to myself. He asked me if I would be his friend. Can you believe that? It's crazy. I thought as Louis and I walk down the hallway towards the lobby. I look at him and smile. We walk over to our professor and take an itinerary and map from him. I take the itinerary out and walk into the street.

"9:00am - We have to find another group to partner up with and find a restaurant for breakfast." I turn to Louis.

"Sounds fun!" I smile.

"Mhm" Louis mumbles.

"What could the problem possibly be?" I roll my eyes at him.

"I don't know if you've noticed but I'm not a big people person,” he snaps back.

"What? No! Really? I thought you taunted people 'cause you love them." I laugh sarcastically. He gives me a warning glare and I grin.

"For your information! I don't try to taunt people I just don't... Particularly... Like people anymore." he says a matter-of-factly and starts walking faster. What? He doesn't like people? Why not? And what's he mean by anymore? Does that mean he used to like people? Something must have happened that changed his mind. I stop walking and he turns around to look at me.

"But you like me right Lou?" I ask self-consciously.

"I don't... mind you. But if you keep bombing with questions then I'll go back to disliking you got it?" he says sassily. I wave my finger at him.

"Louis that is not something friends say to one another!" I say with fake hurt.

"Oh ya well..." he starts.

"Fine, sorry." he mumbles. I smile.

"No problem Lou. Now I see that clearly your not used to having many friends so I'll show you how to be friendly okay?" I ask. He nods solemnly.

"I used to have friends you know!" he states.

"No offense Lou but did you scare them into being your friends or what? 'Cause right now it's definitely not your personality drawing them in." I laugh at my own comeback. I look over at him and see a small smile on his face and my smile grows bigger. He has the perfect smile. It's crooked but his teeth are so straight. It matches his soft looking face. I quickly look away before I get any more similar thoughts. He turns to look at me again.

"No I had real friends Harry." he smiled at the thought.

"Before..." he winces at his next thought and looks away. Automatically regretting what he said and starts to walk again.

"Before what Lou?" I question. What could have happened that would have made him lose all his friends?

"Before it's none of your business Harry!" he snaps and I drop the subject. One thing I can say is that I will find out what happened to Louis before this trip ends.

We walk over to a group in front of us and I lean over to Louis.

"Try and be friendly and socialize a bit okay Lou?" I whisper. He nods stiffly.

"Hey guys! If you’re by yourself do you guys want to join us for breakfast?" I ask warmly. Two guys turn to face us and smirk.

"Not with you and your little boyfriend Queero." the one laughs. His words sting at first like they always do. But like usual I brush it off and roll my eyes.
