"Did you get it?" Zayn asks, foot on the ground, the other one on his knee. He drags out a long exhale of smoke as he eyes his partner.

"Yeah, stop bugging, ill give it to you when you bother to pay me." Harry says plopping down beside his 'friend'.

He and Zayn have been friends since freshman year, in their sophomore year they liked to sneak out and attend the seniors parties, this is the year Harry lost his virginity to a fit blonde girl. The blonde that is currently with Zayn.

Being seniors now, they know how easy it is to make someone like a freshman to do stuff for you, considering they are already fighting their way to be liked in middle school. Its the perfect bait for a fish. Make them think they will be more 'popular' or 'known' if they get seniors asking them for favors.

'Freshmen are friends, not food'  That's the most ironic thing Harry has ever seen, he and Zayn had a proper laugh over it.

"Who was the one that helped you pay off ya car debt?" Zayn asks nonchalantly, giving Harry the side eye.

"Zayn." Harry says, tiredness written all over the tone of his voice. He hates when Zayn does this. Zayn knows that Harry needs the money for things exactly like that. Why the fuck is he always trying to avoid helping out his friend.

"What about I pay you half of what I promised, yeah?" Zayn tries to compromise, because he honestly doesn't have the money he's asking for.

"Whatever, then I get to keep half of what you got me to go after." Harry says, "Wouldn't mind getting a bit high this weekend."

"Now you're just trying to piss me off, Harry I need all of it." Zayn says, a bit more sternness picking up in his smoke clad voice.

"Then get me my damn money." Harry says, getting up and grabbing his already opened beer bottle, chugging a drink of it, times like this; he feels higher, because he knows he's right.

What most people didn't think Harry was, was smart. Because all he does is smoke and get into deep shit wherever he goes. Not to mention fuck every boy or girl that comes along.

Of course only the fit ones and he made sure to deny they're number or requests for his own.

Harry never felt weak or anything close to it and that's why he so domestic in bed, or so he thinks thats why, but he just knows that he doesn't want anyone bossing him around or telling him when he is doing something wrong. No way he would go a second hearing someone scold him.

Harry has a lot of respect towards himself from other people, he isn't exactly sure why though, he's an asshole for what it's worth.

He has a thing for protecting people he loves, and yes, he would protect Zayn if it came to that because no matter how irritating he is he loves him and he would never let anyone hurt him if he was there and able to prevent it.

Harry makes all A's and though while this is a 'surprise',  it really isn't,  if you take the time to get to know him ,you would realize that he is smart, despite his drug addiction and crude language.

He has his priorities and minorities, if you want to call it that. His priorities would be his sister, Zayn, and school. Believe this or not, but his minorities list contains his likings for drugs and sexual intercourse.

"Harry, look bro, I'm sorry, I just don't have it on me, Nathan didn't pay last week for the sweets." Zayn puts his cig out, exhaling once more has he looks at his taller, younger friend. Zayn can already see the disapproval on Harry's face.

"What? Then why the fuck are you going to give him what I gotcha?" Harry slurs, eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"He said he'd pay back what he didn't give last time, and double it this time around." Zayn doesn't believe Nathan for a second, but he can take what he gets from anyone.

"That's absolute bullshit Zayn, you know that too." Harry mutters, sitting down on the edge of the table and shaking his head(only a bit, the alcohol is getting to him)

"Well, what else we suposta' do?" Zayn asks, rolling his eyes, "We can't really do anything else."

That is true, Harry thinks, He and Zayn have been in so much trouble (not to mention Harry's been on parole twice) lately that not even fucking McDonald's will hire them. And if that doesn't say something, he doesn't know what does.

"We could scam someone." Harry suggests, "Make them think we love them and then get shit loads of pity money, its easy really."

"Yeah?" Zayn asks, "Might consider that."

"What about this; You get the money from Nathan, I get 75 percent of it, and then i'll work my shit off to get you those new hubcaps for your car, I just need the money right now." Harry says, lazy eyes looking over at his best mate.

"Yeah, I can make that happen."

☠

Later on that night, in his bed, Harry is thinking; what if he got the money from scamming?

No. Absolutely not.

But Harry is just so romantic and flattering, he knows this. He knows that he could have anyone under spell with just a few words.

Maybe Harry should do this. He's heard many stories, watched TV shows; like catfish. He doesn't really think about the consequences as he searches for 'cute tumblr boys' online, hoping that he will be able to find a good model and set up a convincing Facebook page. He thinks he might be able to get all or nothing out of this.

He finds the thought thrilling, to be honest.

So now that he has about 8 photos of the male model he has chosen, he creates a gmail, then his Facebook page. Its a simple, easy process.

"Nice." He mutters to himself when he creates it, makes himself looks quite convincing.

Congratulations! You have created a Facebook! Would you like us to use your location to find friends near you?

No, Harry chooses, Don't ask me again.

Harry continues on after that, filling out forms to try and find people with similar interests; (he might be able to connect with them more)

Movies: The Notebook, Titanic, The Best of Me, If I Stay, Grease, Mermaids, and Too cute on Animal planet.

Books: ﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

Harry doesn't read unless its the description of the next porno he's about to watch. So he just randomly selects from familiar ones he has encountered before and decides he is satisfied with what he looks like A smart, sappy, romantic nerd.

Once Harry confirms his address and posts a few status', he shuts his phone off with a click and sits it down on the stand beside him; he's way to exhausted to try and search for someone with the same interests with the money he needs. He figures he might chicken out anyways.

Harry has no idea what this idea is about to bring into his life, none at all.

  ☠

Later the next day, Harry wakes up with a few messages on his Facebook page he created last night. It takes him a minute to process all he did last night, and why he did it.  but this doesnt make him want it any less as he opens the app and checks the messages that was sent to him during the night,

Rebecca Reed: Hi, you are cute(;

Rebecca Reed: Nude 4 nude /

Rebecca Reed: ?*

Harry really can't stand people like this, and he'd like to be able to do this without exposing his cock to some random girl. So he deletes the chat.

Holly Grud: HOLY COW! YOU ARE A CUTIE !

Um, Harry thinks this one explains itself why he's deleting the chat.

Louis Tomlinson: Hey, you wouldn't happen to be a major in science would you?

Harry thinks for a moment, this kid wants help with Science? Why the hell would he text a random boy and ask? Harry remembers that he put he had graduated and got into science academy, well fuck.

Harrys grade was a...94? In science..No it was 97...yeah 97 was it. So maybe he would be able to help him.

So Harry typed a reply,

James Sweden: Depends..What grade and whats the topic??

Harry is surprised at how fast Louis reads and replies with an answer.

Louis Tomlinson: Im a sophomore and cell parts, im freaking out because I have to have this done before school starts today D:

James Sweden: Whats the question, I'll try to help you.

Louis Tomlinson: What is the difference between a plant cell and animal cell; I have to have two examples.

Seriously? Thats it? Harry is amused by this kid. Thats literally 5th grade shit that everyone should know.

James Sweden: Chloroplast & Cell wall

Louis Tomlinson: Thank you so much !

James Sweden: Of course, cutie(;

Louis Tomlinson: You see, I would've already known this, but I just transferred into a new school and they are way ahead.

James Sweden: Its quite alright, we all struggle sometimes, don't we?

Louis Tomlinson: Not me.

James Sweden: You just did though.

Louis Tomlinson: No I did not.

James Sweden: Yes you did.

Louis Tomlinson: No.

James Sweden: Yes

Louis Tomlinson: Bye

How rude, Harry thinks, This kid is hard-headed. Damn.

James Sweden: Bye, have a good day x

Louis reads it but never replies so Harry decides to click on his profile and request to add him as a friend. He realizes that Louis' profile is public which means Harry can look through all of his photos.

Louis' profile picture is of what Harry assumes is him, with a trophy that reads science 1st place. Harry should've known that was an excuse to get Harry to talk to him, but Harry doesn't care.

Especially not when he sees all the photos of this boy, noticing the shiny black car in the back of his dance picture. The laptop sitting behind him on his desk in one of his selfies. The flat screen in the christmas picture of Louis and his family. These things make Harry want this more and more now that he knows Louis actually has money.

In these pictures there are quotes like, "I wish I could be what you want me to be," , "take me as I am, dont drag me down." , "my life is a hurricane and i can't get out."

So now Harry knows that Louis is a sensitive boy that probably has a past with a few asshole girlfriends and/or boyfriends. He'd never just assume Louis' sexuality, even as disrespectful as Harry already is. He's not stupid.

Straight is NOT the default sexuality.

Harry continues to scroll and he senses a pattern now. Louis always has this blonde boy beside him, either kissing his cheek or standing in some silly stance that they, more and likely, took hours planning. Only for it to become an embarrassing figment of the past.

Harry chuckled scrolling through these pictures, messing with this little boy was going to be fun. and hopefully, beneficial money-wise to him.

He decides that its going to be pretty easy to make Louis melt for him, Harry tends to do that to people. When he's fucking someone, and he finds out they are virgins, he's sweet and slow. He wouldn't dare let them lose it rough and hard. Harry, again, had certain rules to certain things he did.

Harry shifts, sitting up in his bed and running a large hand through his slightly tangled curls, he looks around for a moment and sighs.

He wakes up to this everyday; the stupid fucking basement with stains and dim lights. Harry has to get out of this hell hole. He hates it here and sleeping in the basement of the most dreaded place in Harry's world..isn't exactly the best feeling, per say.

Zayn has offered and offered for Harry to stay with him, but Harry denies his offer almost immediately.

He has a reason, thats his sister, Gemma. Shes a bit younger, 16 years old and Harry would never let her stay in this house alone with a drug addicted mother who did nothing but depend on Harry to do everything for everyone.

Life isn't always a cup of tea for everyone and even if it is, tea spills sometimes. Life isn't easy for anyone who has it.

especially not when you are Harry Styles.
