Harry Styles is a clumsy, flower crown-wearing, openly gay junior with only two true friends, Niall and Zayn. Louis Tomlinson is the school's attractive, straight football captain, with a small body and a big personality. As fate will have it, Harry has a huge, unrequited, utterly hopeless crush on Louis.
Fate is thrown out the window the day that Harry and Louis find themselves partnered up for a history project. Harry starts to receive notes from a secret admirer, Louis starts to get jealous of Harry's budding friendship with senior Nick GrimShaw, Zayn and Liam develop a thing for each other, and Niall is the best mate anyone could have asked for. And suddenly, Harry's crush on Louis doesn't seem so utterly hopeless anymore.
After a devastating break up, Louis doesn't think he'll ever be with anyone again, let alone fall in love with someone. That is, until he spots Harry at a pub, the straight boy he befriended at the beach and hit on months ago. He's no longer got a girl latched to his side. Although he's never done more than kiss someone of the same sex, he finally seems interested in the petite little man.
