SCENE 5

Sun shines in through the windows in LOUIS' room. It's obvious that he's tired and hungover. He unplugs his phone from his charger and unlocks his phone. Allow room for Instagram messages to one side of him

LouisssT: right well im going to bed. hope u feel better

LOUIS slides out of his bed. He heads to the kitchen. The kitchen is on the small side. There isn't a ton of counter space and a small stove and a small fridge sits against the wall. A used pan rests on one of the back burners with some egg residue still in it. A microwave is propped on the counter next to the fridge and, obviously, seems to get more use than the stove/oven. Across from the counter is a small wooden table. It's decorated with a salt and pepper shaker. Two wooden chairs sit at the table, one in use by LIAM. An overflowing garbage can is lodged in the corner of the room. It's starting to overflow with old take-out boxes.

LIAM wears a simple shirt and jean combo. His hair is styled and it's obvious that he's already showered for today. A plate of scrambled eggs and toast rests in front of him, freshly cooked. The meal isn't fancy and the toast is even on the burnt side.

LIAM

Well, you look awfully chipper this morning

(LOUIS tries to contain his smile and act coy, but fails.)

LOUIS

You won't believe the night I had

(He looks through the cabinets above the counter for something to eat.)

The insides of the cabinets are very bare. A few assorted items in each, but nothing cohesive. It's as if they buy random foods on whims without considering the use it may have to a dish. The idea is kept throughout the layout of the kitchen.

(LOUIS' eyes land on a box of S'more Poptarts. He unwraps one of the silver packages and tosses it into a silver toaster sitting on the other side of the microwave. As he waits for the Poptart to cook, LOUIS slides into the chair across from LIAM.)

LOUIS

I got Harry Styles' private Instagram account

(LIAM glances up at LOUIS sharply. He gives LOUIS a hard glance before rolling his eyes.)

LIAM

(sighing) Of course you did, and I got The Rock to follow me back

LOUIS

(shrugging with a casualness about him) I'm serious Payno

(LOUIS slips out of his chair as the Poptart jumps out of the toaster. He opens a cabinet to grab a paper plate to slide the Poptart on before joining LIAM again at the table.)

LIAM

(rubbing his hands together) I'm psychic. I know exactly how the rest of the conversation will go, ready?

(He pulls his hands back and presses two fingers to his temples and closes his eyes. He sits like this for a moment. LIAM pulls his fingers away and smiles at LOUIS before assuming his character.)

(as himself) 'Oh, Louis, Harry really did follow you? That's so cool!'

(LIAM puts on a thick British accent. It's almost comical in it's attempt to be overdramatic) Haha Payno tricked ye again. Oi, you big dumby real fell for that one eh!

LOUIS

(offended) I do not talk like that

(LIAM gives him a look, but LOUIS only rolls his eyes.)

LOUIS

I'm serious, though, Liam. The account talks just like Harry does.

(LIAM still seems unsure about LOUIS' accusations.)

LIAM

(serious) You're the one being pranked here, Louis. Not me. It's probably some fan somewhere halfway across the world trying to get your nudes or something.

LOUIS

(a little louder with some sass on his tone) Harry gave me that paper with the account name on it! How can that be a fake account? You're probably just jealous that you couldn't pull Harry yourself!

LIAM

Did you see him put the paper in your pocket? Someone else could've slipped it in as a joke.

LOUIS

(rolls his eyes) Fine! I don't care. I don't want to talk about this anymore.

LIAM

(changing the topic) We have more pressing matters to discuss. What videos are you posting on YouTube? You need a new video, especially if you want to stop working at Target anytime soon.

LOUIS

(sighing) I don't know. I like the idea of doing a Q and A. I could tweet something out and answer the questions that people send in.

(LIAM gives him a look as he stands to place his plate in the sink.)

LIAM

Only people with loads of subs can do Q and As, Louis. You have like a hundred. That's hardly anything. Besides, I'm the only one who likes your tweets anyway. We have to get numbers up and then we can do stuff like that.

(LIAM shakes his head a little as he exits the kitchen. As he leaves, LOUIS' phone dings. He glances down at his screen. He clicks on the notification before we see it. Leave space on either side of LOUIS for Instagram messages.)

Harry_Styles: I was wondering if you would like to accompany me to dinner tonight at The Iron Closet?

LouisssT: course! what time?

Harry_Styles: I can meet you at 7. It'll give me time to finish shooting.

LouisssT: sounds cool. see u then
