It was a mistake not to take the deal. Louis hadn't been at school since then and it had already been two weeks. Mr Johnson had called him out a few times asking where he was. Harry had told him everything and he let go on Harry one last time. One last chance.

Okay, come to school and we will talk about this stupid deal.

He texted biting his tongue so hard he could taste the blood. He hated giving in, and even more when Louis left him on seen. He was so unbelievable. Time passed slowly and Harry spent his time in class making a scale with rules for that deal. The first gap was red, for the things that were taboo like smoking or drinking or even drugs. Whatever Louis planned to make him have more fun. Nothing illegal. The middle gap was for the things Louis had to 'accomplish' and the last one was for Louis, to write down his requirements.

The lesson ended and the first two gaps were filled. Harry spent his pause with Liam, sitting on a bench in the centre of the campus,  it was way too hot to stay inside. "I have no idea what I have done that he is like that."

"Me neither, he can be a total ass sometimes." 

"But why are you two friends then?"

"Because I saw that he can be different, he can be so lovely." Sure. Louis and lovely. Harry needed to suppress a laugh. This was a joke, right? But Liam's facial expression was serious. Okay, he seemed to mean what he said. It was just unimaginable for Harry to think of Louis being like a friend to him.

"This tastes horrible."  Liam made a face and put the sandwich down. "It's from the cafeteria, what do you expect." Harry laughed. He spotted Niall, at the very end of the campus together with Natalie, laughing. He looked so happy, it caused a smile on Harry's lip, so wide it hurt.

"I will go and get some food from the O.p.s, do you want something?" Harry looked back to Liam.

"No thanks," with that Liam left. God, it was really hot, Harry wished he had chosen the shorts this morning instead of his skinnies. Suddenly Harry's phone buzzed. It was a message from Louis asking where he was. Campus, he texted back expecting Louis to need at least 10 mins to find him,(the campus was very big). But within a few minutes, he took place across from him where Liam had been before.

Carrying his smirk. 

"Where have you been this week??" He asked even though he knew he wouldn't get a relatable answer for that.

"I told you, you'd need me." His smile got so wide his eyes crinkled up a bit.

Harry clenched his jaw, taking a deep breath, to calm down a bit. He hated him so much. Then he took out his journal and let it slide over to Louis who eyed it confused "What is that?"

"A list, what the hell does it look like?"

"Okay, and what am I supposed to do with that?"

"Ugh," Harry leaned over pointing at each gap explaining to him what it meant. Louis leaned back, crossing his arms in front of his chest.  "And I can write whatever I want?"

"Anything except the things in the red gap."

"Can I cross some things?"

"No?"

"Okay," He shrugged, got up and threw his back over his shoulder. He knows exactly what he was doing. "Fine, but just one thing." Harry hissed watching Louis turn around.

"Gimme a pen", Louis demanded letting himself fall onto the bench again. "One" Harry clarified as Louis crossed something and wrote some stuff down. Keeping the book hidden. It took so long he insisted on taking the sheet with him to finish it during class. Harry agreed reluctantly. At least he was actually attending class. After school, they met at Louis' car.
