When Harry was little, he hated living in Oak Hollow. It was a stuck-up neighborhood in the suburbs full of broken families and white picket fences. But then, on a hot Summer day, a strange boy wearing heart-shaped sunglasses moves in across the street.

Louis, to his horror, attends an elitist university in which the name Zayn Malik means something, Niall Horan doesn't stop talking, there are pianos everywhere, and Harry Styles, only son of a drug-addled, clinically insane ex-rocker, has a perfect smile and empty eyes.

Louis Tomlinson didn't need anybody. If he didn't need anybody, then he didn't have to care for anybody in return. And that's just how he liked it. He had three close friends, and that's all he'd allow. Until Harry Styles came along and ruined everything. Louis becomes confused as to if he really hates Harry, or if he feels something different... (June 2013 Elsie here. I was a bit of a carrot when I wrote this. Just... ugh, please forgive me.

Detention is supposed to be a punishment, but for Louis and Harry, it's the start of something beautiful. Unfortunately, what starts off as a harmless love affair quickly takes a turn for the worse.

[NOTE: I began writing this book in 2011 when I was 13 years old. There are many grammatical errors, cringe-worthy moments, and plot inconsistencies. Obviously, my writing has improved immensely since 2011, so please feel free to check out any of my more recent works instead. This book is not representative of my present-day writing abilities. I would prefer to delete this entirely (and its sequel), but there have been many readers who have expressed their love and appreciation for this book despite its flaws. Regardless, thank you all for your support with the Detention series over the past few years. I love and appreciate each and every one of you.]

Louis had thought that he'd enrolled himself into a normal, albeit a little out-of-the-ordinary English class when he signed up for "Imaginative English and the Arts." Maybe he'd just have to be a bit more creative than usual. He was always up for a challenge. When everyone was handed a sheet of paper and told to list the names of everyone in class from least to most favorite, Louis should have taken it as a hint to run as far away from that classroom as he possibly could. Or the one where Louis has to figure out 10 things he admires about Harry Styles, his self-proclaimed enemy, by the end of the school year. ** NOW REWRITTEN WITH BONUS SCENES - CHECK MY PROFILE FOR THE REWRITE **

Louis and Harry were childhood friends. They have been friends as long as they can remember. At the age of 12, Harry had to move to a new school. As the two boys got older, they stopped any sort of contact with each other. Louis became a A+ student, captain of the football team and student body president. Harry got caught up in the wrong group, smoking, bullying, drugs. He was barely passing school. When the two come face to face with each other again, will everything go back to the way it was or will they carry on with their own separate lives?

Where Louis is the typical nerd, son of the local pastor and Harry is the bad boy that just can't keep his hands to himself. *completed* *under editing* *highest ranking: #1 in larrystylinson* "I was hooked the second I started reading.
