The Do's And Don'ts Of Falling In Love - Larry Stylinson

11: Queen Eleanor

1. EXT. SCHOOLYARD - DAY

CALUM: "So let me get this straight..." (confused face) "You stayed the night but had to leave before he woke up?"

LOUIS: (rolls eyes) "Yes. Now leave it, it's not important."

ELEANOR: "It's super important though! Harry is cute."

LOUIS: (bitch face on, to Eleanor) "Who invited you to my pity party? I don't like you."

CALUM: (laughs) "But you think he's cute."

ELEANOR: "You didn't actually deny it..."

LOUIS: "You two are idiots. I hate it here."

ELEANOR: "Same."

CALUM: (trying to be somewhat discreet) "You know, it is okay to find someone cute, it's okay to admit it too. You're human."

LOUIS: (deadpanned) "I hadn't noticed."

ELEANOR: "I just love your sarcasm." (sighs) "If Harry had been straight, ugh... 10/10 would smash."

LOUIS: "You are disgusting."

ELEANOR: (smug) "What? You jealous?"

LOUIS: (frowns) "Of you? Please. My life is way better than yours."

CALUM: "Okay calm down now." (to Louis) "Why don't you just talk to him?"

LOUIS: "Because I'm straight?"

CALUM: (laughs) "Yeah well last time I checked, straight people can talk to gay people as much as they want. You're friends with Liam, Zayn and Luke aren't you?"

LOUIS: "I'm friends with Liam. I only know Zayn because apparently he comes as a package deal with Liam nowadays. Hella annoying. And Luke is your friend."

ELEANOR: "Speaking of Luke, is he by any chance bi?"

CALUM: "I'm pretty sure Luke is very, very gay. He actually used to date--"

LOUIS: (interjecting, impatient) "Whatever! This is unimportant. What we should be talking about is my problems here."

ELEANOR: "Your problems aren't actual problems though."

LOUIS: "Yes they are."

ELEANOR: "Louis. Your problem right now is that you're afraid to talk to Harry about cuddling him all night because apparently you're worried that talking to him, a gay man, would hurt your precious manhood and heterosexuality." (Louis is gaping, Calum looks shocked) "I'm just stating the obvious." (takes a deep breath) "Now. Go and talk to him. I'm pretty sure it won't hurt you, he's a nice kid after all. And, you two live together. You can't avoid him forever."

LOUIS: (shock disguised as stubbornness, crosses arms, like a stubborn five-year-old) "I'm not scared."

ELEANOR: (raises eyebrows) "Prove it then. I want a full report on your conversation with him by tomorrow. Consider it an assignment, which I will pester you about if you don't do it until you do it."

CALUM: (chuckles) "Damn, El. The queen has entered the building."

ELEANOR: (shrugs, smirks, to Louis) "I have to leave for class, but keep me posted will ya?" (Louis frowns and stays silent, Eleanor starts walking away, shouting back) "Love you too!"
