Don't know yet

Chapter 2

It's been two weeks since Coach Higgins named Harry captain and he is driving Louis crazy. He thinks the drills they are doing aren't enough but Harry just wants to do it his way and of course he's not going to listen to Louis.

To add to his misery, the chemistry teacher has changed Harry's seat next to Louis because he couldn't stop talking to Niall and the teacher knew that he wouldn't talk to Louis unless it was absolutely necessary, which fortunately hasn't happened yet.

Louis walks towards the chemistry lab already dreading having to go in. He hates Mondays because he has chemistry last period and then football practice so he has to cope with Harry longer than usual. Although today practice was cancelled so at least he only suffers for one hour instead of three.

Louis stops at the door of the classroom, sighs and then goes in. Harry is already in his seat with his bag on top of Louis' table. Louis sits down and throws Harry's bag over to his table, hitting his arm with it.

"What are you doing you moron, don't touch my stuff" he turns around to face Louis

"Don't put your stuff in my place then, dickhead."

"Watch your mouth you..."

"Alright boys break it up" She gets closer to them and points at Harry's seat ordering him to sit down. Harry does as he's told and puts his bag on the floor.

The class goes by quite fast. Louis likes chemistry and he's good at it too. He pays attention and tries to ignore Harry who is complaining under his breath because he doesn't understand. Louis feels proud about being better than Harry at chemistry, especially now that they're sitting together because Louis knows that Harry's definitely noticed how good he is.

"So now that we have finished the unit you will have to do a project on it by pairs" Louis turns around to look at Zayn who is already looking at him. They both nod and smile. The teacher notices how some of the students are already forming pairs like Louis and Zayn.

"Your partner will be the classmate sitting next to you" Louis turns his head towards Harry with a disgusted look. The other boy returns the look. "And remember that this project is 30% of your mark this term. You'll have a month to do it but I suggest that you start now if you want to do it well."

The bell rings and everybody rushes to pick up their stuff and leave.

"My house in an hour, don't be late princess."

Louis looks at Harry confused. "What?"

"We need to do the project and the faster we get it done, the faster i can go back to ignoring you."

Louis was looking forward to not having to see Harry this afternoon but Harry is right, The faster they finish, the faster he can get rid of him.

"Alright" he grabs his bag and leaves.

When Louis gets home he flops onto his bed doubting whether he should go to Harry's or not. He has to do the project if he wants to get a good mark but he really doesn't want to deal with Harry's smug face right now. He doesn't have much time to think about it though because before he can reach a decision the twins and Fizzy come rushing into his room his mum following not far behind.

"Hey Honey, I have to ask for a favor"

"Sure, what is it?"

"I have to take an extra shift today, my coworker got sick. Can you take care of your sisters this afternoon?"

"Umm... I'm supposed to go to Harry's to do a chemistry project."

"Harry's?"

"Yeah, long story"

"Can't you do it another day?"

"I suppose" He picks up Fizzy and gets up with the twins hugging his legs. "So, what movie are we watching then?"

"Mulan!" Phoebe shouts.

"Alright, Mulan it is" He walks out the door with his sister still wrapping around him.

"Thank you" Louis' mum mouths before going to the car again. Louis just nods and smiles at her.

He puts his sisters down on the couch and tells them to search for the movie while he makes popcorn. He walks over to the kitchen and takes his phone out. He looks for Harry's phone number on the football team group chat. It doesn't take him long to find it, it's the only number he hasn't added; he didn't feel like he deserved to be on his phone.

I can't come to your house, I have to take care of my sisters.

I'll just come to yours then.

No, we can do it another day.

Harry doesn't reply so Louis assumes he agrees and puts his phone in his pocket. When the popcorn is done he goes to the living room and sits down with his sisters. Ten minutes into the movie the doorbell rings. Harry stands outside in a black jumper and grey sweats with his bag hanging from his left arm. Of course he showed up when he wasn't invited, Louis thinks to himself.

"What are you doing here? I told you I can't do the project today."

"And i told you I would come" Harry walks in taking his shoes off. He greets Louis' sisters.

"Sure, come in." Louis says, in a clear sarcastic tone. He looks at his sisters "Do you guys have any homework?"

"We'll do it after the film"

"No, do it now and we'll watch the film when I'm done with my project"

The girls complain but soon enough they get up and get out their books. Harry gets out his laptop and they start to do their presentation. Five fights and what feels like a year later they finish their research for the presentation and reach an agreement on what their project should be. The girls finished their homework a long time ago so they started painting.

By the time Harry's finished packing The girls have already started the film and are asking Harry to stay. He opens his mouth but before he can say anything louis is grabbing his bag and escorting him to the entrance.

He is tying his shoelace when Phoebe comes up to him and hands him a paper with a painting on it.

"Is this for me?" He says with a soft and excited voice. The little girl nods with a shy smile on her face and Louis rolls his eyes. They are too young to understand how horrible he is, he justifies in his mind.

"Thank you so much! It 's beautiful." Phoebe gives him a hug that catches him by surprise but he still quickly reciprocates the hug. Harry is gentle and very kind with the little girl, something that surprises Louis since he's only seen him being a moron. For a second the thought that Harry might actually be a nice person crosses Louis' mind but then he shakes his head to get the thought out.

"Alright, you should go now, it's getting late"

"Are you worried about me, Tomlinson?" Harry smirks.

"I meant for them not for you"

"Whatever you say"

"Are you sure you can't stay? We're watching Mulan, she's my favourite princess. What 's yours?"

"Sorry I can't stay, maybe another day. My favourite princess is..." He looks at Louis with a half smirk and he understands immediately what he is about to say.

"We should get to the movie now those two wont wait for us much longer" Phoebe runs to the living room.

"What? You don't want to know who my favourite princess is?"

"No" He says with an angry face.

"Don't worry, I was going to say you" He winks at him jokingly.

"Bye, Styles" He closes the door.

"Bye, Princess" Harry shouts it to make sure Louis hears him.
