Harry Styles was never the kind of person to have many friends. He was likeable but he wasn’t outgoing. He liked to sit alone at lunch and listen to music or draw whatever caught his eye. He only had one friend and that was Niall. Then, there was Louis Tomlinson who had a lot of friends and always had to crack jokes at everything. Harry had never paid much attention to Louis. He never paid much attention to anything at school because he hated it. He just wanted to get through the school day and his job at the bakery so he could go home. Oh, how boring his life was. He just wanted to get through the first day of school.

While walking to find his English classroom, Harry’s mind was so preoccupied with reading his schedule that he hadn’t noticed someone in front of him. Harry crashed into the unknown person causing his books and schedule to fall. “I’m so sorry,” Harry muttered as he bent down to pick up his things. Harry’s eyes shot up to meet the most beautiful pair of deep blue eyes he’d ever seen. “No, no. Don’t apologize!” said none other than Louis Tomlinson. Louis gathered Harry’s things and he stood up. Harry stood up too expecting Louis to just hand him his books and head off. Louis was busy looking at the schedule on the top of Harry’s books while he started walking. Harry, confused, just walked along by Louis’ side. “Oh, I see you have English with me! You’re Harry Styles, right? I’m Louis.” Louis said as he started walking while holding Harry’s books. Harry was walked by his side in surprise that Louis knew who he was. Before Harry could say anything, they had already reached the classroom. After opening the door, Louis who was still holding Harry’s books, pulled Harry’s arm and said,” You should sit next to me!” Harry just smiled and nodded, a little bit dazed by the beautiful blue eyes staring at him. Harry quickly snapped back into reality and took his seat next to Louis in the back of the classroom. Still not letting Harry utter a word, Louis asked, “How come I never see you around school?” With a laugh, Harry jokingly responded, “I don’t know. I guess I’m not very wanted.” Louis didn’t laugh but stared into Harry’s deep green eyes. “I don’t know. I’m sure I’d want someone as beautiful as you around me all the time.” Louis said without thinking. As soon as he had realized what he said, his face turned a bright red and he could’ve just died right there. Harry felt a blush creeping onto him as well. Luckily, the teacher walked in at that very moment, so they both turned away from each other to face the board, leaving Louis mortified and Harry slightly amused. Near the end of class, Harry pulled out a small piece of paper and wrote a note to Louis. When Louis received the note, he quickly opened it to reveal the words Harry had written. “I think you’re beautiful too.” He turned to Harry who was smirking at him and they both laughed noisily, not caring if the teacher got mad.

When class was over, Harry quickly left the classroom to go to his locker so he wouldn’t be late to work. When he reached his locker, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He quickly turned around only to be met by the beautiful blue eyes of Louis Tomlinson. “Hey! Where are you off to so quickly? Did I scare you off?” Louis asked with a smirk. There was worry in his eyes though that he really had scared Harry off. Harry laughed, “Don’t worry, you didn’t scare me off. I have to go to work right now and I can’t be late. That’s all.” Louis just smiled and said, “Okay. Have fun at the bakery. I’ll see you tomorrow, right?!” Harry laughed at Louis’ mock worry and said, “Maybe… if you don’t scare me off by then.” Louis just laughed and walked away after saying good-bye. Harry smiled to himself, but then confusion flashed on his face. How had Louis known that Harry worked at the bakery?

As I walked home with Zayn, I couldn’t stop thinking about how I had just told Harry Styles that I thought he was beautiful. Stupid stupid stupid. I couldn’t help it though. After I saw him working in the bakery one day in the summer, I couldn’t stop thinking about him. I’d been to the bakery almost everyday before that but I had never seen Harry until that day. He didn’t even see me, but I kept trying to catch his attention every other day at the bakery but he was always working in the back. Still, I went to the bakery every time in hope that he would be working in the front. I couldn’t stop thinking about the note Harry had passed me. “I think you’re beautiful too.” Did he mean it or was he just trying to be funny? With that thought, I quickly asked Zayn, “Can we go to the bakery instead right now?” “Sure. You’re in need of a pastry huh? Or in need of a certain curly-haired boy?” Zayn said with a smirk. I blushed furiously. Zayn didn’t know much of my feelings toward Harry. I didn’t even know my feelings myself. I was confused. Zayn had his suspicions though from how much I talked about Harry. How could I stop myself from thinking about those deep green eyes that sparkle when he smiles? What about those deep dimples that make my heart melt and that beautiful curly hair that complimented him? Everything complimented Harry. Nothing could ever look bad on him. Wait, I can’t be thinking about him like this. I can’t have feelings for him. I like women not men. Stop it now, Louis! I didn’t realize I had been in deep thought until Zayn snapped me back to reality. “Hey man, what’re you thinking about?” Zayn asked me. “Nothing… I’m just tired.” I responded. “Then, why are we going to the bakery instead of your house if you’re so tired?” Zayn scoffed as we reached the bakery. Not to my surprise, Harry wasn’t in the front. I went up to the counter and was met by Liam. “Hey Louis! The usual?” Liam said. I laughed to myself at how Liam knew exactly what I wanted from how often I came here. I nodded and then asked, “Is Harry working in the front today?” I had asked that every time I came to the bakery just to be met with a disappointing response. Liam said with a grin, “Just your luck today, mate. Harry is actually sweeping out back right now, but he’ll be out here in just a minute to cover my shift.”

Louis felt a wave of relief and happiness wash over him, and then he instantly crashed into nervousness. What was he supposed to say to Harry? He hoped that the moment he had been waiting for wouldn’t be ruined by a moment of utter stupidity on Louis’ part. He kept thinking to himself “Don’t mess up like earlier Louis.” Louis had forgotten that his best friend was standing next to him until Zayn put his hand on Louis’ shoulder. “Hey Louis. Are you okay? You look a bit worried,” Zayn questioned his friend with concern. Just as Louis was about to respond, he heard that familiar husky voice and instantly turned his head to see Harry standing at the counter staring back at him.

Harry was taken aback by the blue eyes staring at him. Liam had mentioned something about “a gift at the counter” for Harry.
