CHAPTER 2
LOUIS
Louis misses the first ten minutes of first period today. He's pretty fucking tired of getting up early, and it's only the second day of school. This morning, his mom only came into his room three times before he got up, so that's progress. Zayn is completely silent, which tells Louis he must have run out of cigarettes late last night.
In Psychology, the teacher makes an announcement, "I'm going to assign your first quarter project, and it'll be a group assignment,” He begins. Louis mentally groans because he knows that he'll probably get stuck working with Eleanor, “So write your names on a peice of paper and put them in this bucket, we'll assign partners that way," Even better, Louis thinks to himself, "I've got a list of movies in which one of the main characters has some sort of psychological abnormality, I want you to watch five of them with your partner and analyze them using the Psychological Perspectives from Chapter One."
Honestly, it sounds like an interesting project to Louis, other than the fact that he'll probably get stuck with an awful partner. He has always been a movie buff, especially deep, dark movies like the ones they'll be watching. The teacher pulls out two names from the bucket at a time, and Louis name is never called. After a while he looks up, “Ok, whose name have I not called?” Only two hands go up, his own and Harry’s a row ahead of him. “Louis and Harry you can be partners.”
Louis perks up a bit, having a hot partner on a project where you have to watch movies. Watching movies, intimately, at each other's houses. Louis can't believe the fact that for once his shitty ass luck is finally on his side.
“Hey I’m Louis.” He says as he sits down.
“Harry," he replies with an adorable grin. Louis sits down in front of him and for the first time notices the dimples he gets when he smiles.
Louis looks down at the list of movies they were supplied, “So- um what movies are we gonna do?”
“I mean, most of these movies are really shitty, but there a few that are actually great," Harry tells him.
“Yeah, I mean The Notebook, c'mon," Louis agrees.
“Donnie Darko is a good one,” Harry says. Louis nods and puts a star next to it on his paper.
“Yeah? How about What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? You know, cause of Leonardo Dicaprio” Louis suggests..
“God Bless that man," Harry says with a smile, he looks back down at the paper, "Lolita?"
"Like the Lana song," Louis adds, Harry looks up.
"You like Lana Del Rey?" He looks a bit suprised.
"I would put her in my top 5 artists, if that tells you anything," Louis tells him.
"Fuck," Harry says with a satisfied look on his face, "I like you."
Louis blushes a bit, but tries to hide it, "What about Silver Linings Playbook? I love Jennifer Lawrence.” Louis changes the subject.
“Hmmm ok. Have you seen the Virgin Suicides?" Harry asks.
"No, wanna watch it, too?" Harry nods and Louis finishes starring all of the movies they've planned to watch.
Harry steals the paper and Louis watches him scribble his phone number into the margins, “Here call me or text me or something.” Louis blushes again, which is really weird because this is totally platonic. He doesn't even know if Harry likes guys, but there's something about those green eyes and that curly brown hair...
“Are you busy Friday?” Harry asks, snapping Louis back to reality.
“Uh- yeah, I am actually. There's this party, do you know Perrie Edwards?" Louis doesn't know why he says the next thing, it just comes out, "Do you wanna come?"
