Louis's POV//

I wake up the next day and instantly regret it, I'm so tired I feel like I've just crawled out of a grave!! I pick my phone up to check for messages even though I never answer them but surprisingly there's only two, one from Harry telling me to have fun at school without him, which I roll my eyes at, and one from Eleanor reminding me about our meeting at the lockers.

The journey to school is highly uneventful, there's plenty of space for us all today so I don't end up with anyone on my lap, which I have to say isn't as uncomfortable as you'd think, still, I wouldn't particularly enjoy Niall, Liam, it Zayn sitting on me.

I'm sitting next to Eleanor but we aren't really talking, it isn't an awkward silence though which is nice, I suppose we really can be just friends. I don't know if the boys know about mine and Eleanors breakup, they haven't mentioned it. I'm not going to go out of my way to tell people, I obviously won't lie if it's brought up but I just don't want the whole school knowing I'm gay just yet, Im not going to hide it but, I want to be the one to tell people.

It's Niall that brings it up first actually, not at all subtly either. He straight up says,
"Hey Louis, have you figured out that you're gay yet?" I honestly can't tell if he's joking or not until he bursts out laughing, Eleanor does too. I grin back at him and say,
"Actually lads, I am gay. Me and Eleanor broke up last night"
They all look at me slightly shocked, apart from Eleanor who's nodding at me smiling.
The next minute or so is a bit of a mess of "congrats on coming out" and "I bloody knew it! All this time, haven't I been saying!" That was Niall. I laugh as zayn says "so lou, got your eye on any guys?"
I'm about to answer when Eleanor says "I think he likes Harry" I'm a little stunned to say the least. The rest of them are laughing at my reaction and Liam shouts
"Aw he's blushing!" Causing a few year eights to look at us.
"Okay fine" I say, "I think I do like Harry" now it's their turn to be stunned.
"Knew it!" Niall shouts, again. "Liam, you owe me £5! Pay up!"
Liam grudgingly hands over the money.
"WHAT!" I whisper shout. "You guys have been betting on me!"
"Yep" Liam replies simply, and I can't not laugh.
