stepping out from the shadows - larry/niam.

harry is 15, quiet, shy, and has no friends. he might also be the smartest person in his sophomore class, but nobody knows. and he likes it that way. in the shadows.

louis is 17, a senior, popular, talkative, and has many friends. he prefers this as well. in the limelight (literally).

niall, although being the only openly gay guy at school and loved by everyone, is dealing with the scars of a bad relationship.

liam, just your average nerdy boy who wishes to be a part of niall's world.

and zayn, a boy with a bad past, just wants to prove to people he's a changed person.

but, what happens when harry falls in love in with louis? can he step out of the shadows to join him?
what happens when liam falls in love with niall? can he work up the nerve to ask him out?
what happens when two people put their heads together to make a plan that goes wrong (then right)?
and worst of all, after things seem calm, what happens when the past comes back to bite them?

-it's bad in the beginning or middle but it gets better i promise.
