Louis Tomlinson is everything to his high school in Doncaster. All the girls want him, and all the guys want to be him. Football star, straight A student, he's the golden boy. And strangely enough, he's not taken. Harry Styles is a nobody. No friends, no allies, no enemies. A zero, a nothing, bottom of the food chain. All he wanted was for Louis to notice him. Just once, to see him, and not look through him. So what happens when his wish is granted? Will these two become more than friends? And, if so, will it last?

Eager to reach his families expectations, Louis lives a life of secrecy and denial. In one of the most respected households in Doncaster, there's no room for mistake. But when Louis meets Harry styles in his first year of boarding school, it seems all the more difficult to keep himself In check.

College AU where Harry studies law and psychology. Louis is a philophobic frat boy who's majoring in acting, plays footie and needs tutoring in psychology. Of course they hate each other but that doesn't stop them from having a ridiculous amount of sexual tension. or Louis is a frat boy with a drinking problem who doesn't know what he wants to do with his life, and Harry is a psychology student who always takes care of him and might just be exactly what Louis doesn't want, but really needs.
