Chaper 5 | ocean eyes

Hi, I know that I haven't updated in a while and I'm so sorry but school has been so bad and I haven't been motivated to do much but now everything is kinda getting back on track! The sentences that are in bold are they're conversations by text. Chapter is gonna be in Harry's pov. You'll be needing the song 'Ocean Eyes" by Billie Eilish. As always when you see "***" You can start playing the song! Enjoy!

I came home from school on Friday kind of overwhelmed? I don't know, I just felt weird. As the weekend flew by, just like it always does, I came to terms with myself and decided that I like Louis. I have feelings for him. It felt good to get that of my shoulders to myself, as weird as it might sound. And before you know it I was waking up at 6:15 on Monday morning. I was kinda excited for today because I had art and the beautiful blue-eyed boy was gonna be there. I really wanna find something else that we have in common that's not just music. I wanna hangout with him. Would that be weird? We just met and now I'm gonna ask if he wants to hangout? But how else are we going to get to know each other so that we don't fail art? I'm just overthinking. Yeah. I'm gonna ask him. Maybe I could take him to the skatepark or watch a movie! I got ready then remembered that Gemma has early classes on Mondays so I got my skateboard and headed to school. I did all my morning classes, went to lunch and tried to teach myself the algebra lesson that was taught in class today, failed at that, then went to art. Why was my heart beating so fast when I saw him sitting at the table? With his bright blue ocean eyes. He looked up and made eye contact as I was walking to him. I prayed that he couldn't tell that my heart was skipping beats. As I was getting closer he pulled a chair out for me so I could sit.

"Hey Harry," Louis said with a little smirk, "How was your weekend?". Why was I so starstruck by a simple question?

"It was good. I didn't do much. How 'bout you?".

"I went over to a friend's house and watched a couple of movies."

"That's nice". I didn't know what else to say. Do I ask him if he wants to make plans now? I-I don't know. I've never been in this position before.

"I saw you coming to school this morning while I was on my way and I saw you skateboarding. I didn't know you did that! It's really cool actually".

Oh my god. Louis Tomlinson just said that me, skateboarding is cool? W-What do I say now?

"Oh, thanks. I usually go to the skatepark on weekends but I didn't go this weekend. The weather wasn't very pleasant. I was going to ask you if you wanted to hangout sometime after school. I could take you to the skatepark if you wanna go? Or I could just teach you on my sidewalk because the park is a bit intimidating sometimes. If you don't wanna skate then that's fine we could watch a movie and order pizza? I just think it's a good idea for us to talk outside of school, so time is less limited-"

"Yeah that sounds great! I'm free after school today if that's ok with you?"

What just happened. He just agreed to hang out with me after school today. With me. The kid that everyone forgets about. The one that no one talks to.

"Yeah after school sounds good."

"Great so should we exchange numbers. I'll let you know if anything changes our plans."

I was shaking at this point. Louis Tomlinson just asked to exchange numbers. I gave him my phone and he gave me his and I typed my number into the box. I handed his phone back and his hand slightly touched mine.

"Woah your hand is king shaking. You okay?" with a little smirk and chuckle to make it seem less awkward. Oh no. Now he's gonna think I'm weird right? I just ruined everything because my body can't control itself. Great.
