They say opposites attract.

Chapter 30

It was that next Monday when they finally told their friends about their relationship. "Guys." Harry announced.

"No but I'm not sure if that's what she actually meant you know?" Niall continued, not hearing Harry.

"Guys." Harry repeated. But no one was paying attention.

"Yeah but it was pretty obvious, Niall." Zayn replied, barely even acknowledging Harry's existence.

"Harry and I are dating." Louis abruptly announced, obviously impatient with his friends. That certainly got their attention. All of their heads turned towards Harry and Louis- mouths agape. "So you guys can hear then?" Louis said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

"Are you guys fucking around?" Niall asked, ignoring Louis' sarcasm.

"No. Harry's been trying to tell you guys for 10 minutes but you guys wouldn't shut the fuck up." Louis snapped. Harry blushed in embarrassment.

"I'm really confused, what's going on?" Zayn questioned, looking back and fourth between Louis and Harry.

Harry put his hand in Louis' before saying "Louis and I are dating." Harry was sure he was smiling so big that you could see his teeth from a mile away but he didn't really care. He was finally happy to have said it.

"But, how?" Liam finally spoke up. Confusion in his voice and in his eyes. Shit. Liam.

This must be so confusing to Liam. He witnessed how big of a shit Louis was to Harry and how Harry hated Louis.

"It just happened." Louis shrugged, but Liam wasn't listening to Louis. He was focused on Harry, trying to communicate with him using his eyes. Harry felt bad, he felt bad for keeping this from Liam. But he didn't want to lose Louis either.

Harry knew he had to make it up to Liam. But he didn't wanna do it in front of everyone so he just kept quiet for now.
"Well, I think it's safe to say that we are all surprised." Niall laughed, and I didn't expect any less. The conversation moved on swiftly and I spaced out. I need to think of a way to make this up to Liam.

"Harry, are you good with a camera?" Nathan asked, joining us on the table. I was taken out of my thoughts and looked up to meet Nathan's questioning eyes.

"I mean, I'm not bad with a camera. Why?" Harry replied, everyone now watching them talk.

Harry could feel Louis' hands tense up in his. Harry gave a reassuring squeeze before focusing back on Nathan.

"Coach wanted a photographer for the footie trip next week. The kid that was supposed to come pulled out last minute."

Footie trip?

"Footie trip?" Harry questioned, confused.

"Yeah, the team is going to Paris next week for a 5 day tournament. Would you be down to photograph the team?"

Of course he was. Who would say no to going to Paris? But, was Louis going on this trip? And why didn't he tell Harry about it?

Harry felt slightly bummed and pulled his hands out of Louis', feeling slightly down.

"For sure. I'd have to ask my mum but I don't think she'd say no." Harry replied, smiling as much as he could.

"Sweet!" Nath replied, getting up again. "I'll go tell coach you'll tell him by tomorrow?"

Harry nodded. "Yeah."

They exchanged smiles and Nathan left.

"Paris? Sweeeeet." Niall commented cheerfully. Harry smiled at him. It was sweet.
