âIâve heard you like Scrabble,â said Niall. He considered Harry. Maybe Louis was right and he and Harry would make good friends.
âYeah.â Harry nodded enthusiastically, eyes lighting up. âI go to the Scrabble club at my library.â
âI think Iâve got a Scrabble set round my flat somewhere,â Niall told him. He shrugged and shot Harry a crooked grin. âIf you donât mind playing with a set thatâs almost certainly missing a few letters.â
âOh,â said Harry slowly, understanding seeming to dawn on him. A flicker of something Niall couldnât identify crossed his face. âUm, that might- that might be a challenge. Iâd better- Iâll probably stick with the sets at the library.â He gave Niall a sad, apologetic half-smile. âI should get back to, um, back to wardrobe."
âDonât be offended,â said Louis, moving closer to Niall. âItâs not you. Itâs not me. Itâs Grimshaw. Fucking twat.â
Up-and-coming model Harry Styles falls under the charms of his long-time celebrity crush, emotionally manipulative Nick Grimshaw. After some poking and prodding and meddling from his friend Louis, Harry befriends fellow model Niall Horan and soon realises that friendshipâand maybe true loveâshould be a bit more like this.
