Harry Styles. The boy who had a smirk that pierced girls' hearts no matter where he went. Bethany Foster, a girl whose heart was never pierced by Harry's devious smirk. They lived polar opposite lives, Harry was a "bad boy" as he called himself. He drove on a motorcycle without wearing a helmet and was always somewhere causing trouble. Bethany, was a waitress, she on the other hand had to work for a living due to her family's debt in medical funds for her mother who was in a vegetative state. She didn't go out on the town to party or cause havoc, she stayed at home caring for her two younger brothers.
But everything happens for a reason, doesn't it? When a breakup sends Harry off the deep end and looking for closure. When Bethany has to take what she's got or risk it all. Somehow their paths collide, either for better or for worse. To make anything of their faulty situations, they decide to be more than friends, in a phase of simply testing out the shallow waters.

Louis Tomlinson could easily be the cockiest student on campus. He does everything he can to get what he wants, even when he has to be not-so-nice to do so. He really isn't a bad person, really.

Harry wants Louis, but refuses to let that happen. The last thing he needs is a relationship with a strongheaded asshole.

Spotlight |h.s|
I hate her, I hate her, I fucking hate her. If she died right now, I wouldn't care. My main concern would be how I would get my money for this stunt. I have not an ounce of a feeling for this girl in front of me, yet I can't move under her angry gaze. I wouldn't dare. "Fuck you." I whisper out a pitiful insult to get the last word. "Fuck you." She replies just as quietly, taking a deep inhale as she holds our eye contact. She grinds her jaw as she stays looking at me, eyes scanning over my face with a huff. I hold my same scowl, still not backing away from her. I'm stuck in my place, my face not even an inch away from hers. I don't know how it happened, who started it, or what, but before I know it, her lips are on mine and I'm shoving her body backwards into the shelf. - Aubrey Hart and Harry Styles, costars in the movie "Forbidden Connection", hate each other.
