Harry lives in the year 3461 and is 16 year old. Becouse nobody has to study anymore he can do what the wants. So he is a scientist. And when you live so far away in the future, time travelling is something that has come true. The first persons to use it are Harry and his friend Liam. They have to try to find a cure to a disease. They choose this time area since they were the last generation who were not infected by this disease.
They are going to the year 2015 and live with a family who are willing to adopt them. Only one person of that family is allowed to know that they are from the future.
Harry ends up with the Tomlinson family and Liam is going to live with the Horan family.
Liam and Harry need to do a lot and have to be buisy every time of the day. However, when Harry meets Louis things will be more complicated.
“Can you explain me one more time why he is here?!” Louis yelled at his mum.
He didn’t understand this situation at all. They have been a great family for a long time now. She recently got new twins and now they’re adopting a 16 year old boy! She has seven kids, like it’s fun but eight children in their house is just too much. Besides the fact that it is totally strange his mother wants to adopt him the boy is totally annoying. He acts like he is super smart and if you look how he solves mathematic questions he is smart. Although there is something strange, the boy gets nervous from everything normal like cars and mobile phones and thinks of them as antique. WHILE HE ALSO SAYS THAT HE NEVER HAS SEEN ONE! Like seriously, who is this kid. Well, technically it’s Harry Styles from India. They boy doesn’t even have a tan so what is happening here?
“To answer your question for the seventh time Louis, he’s here because I’ve adopted him. He needs a home and I wanted to give him one. I hope you feel the same way that everybody needs a home. And besides, there’s room enough here so why not?” his mother answered.
“Fine…..” Louis walked away. He didn’t want to talk to her anymore. He was happy though that the boy was one year younger than him. This way he still was the oldest. He now also realized that he wouldn’t have any classes with him. Lucky he thought that now school was still his place.
He sat behind his laptop and started skype. He needed to talk to Niall about this. Niall was online and Louis asked him to videochat, which Niall happily agreed to.
“Hey, how are you buddy?” Niall said while smiling to the camera.
“Not good at all Niall. Today I woke up thinking everything was normal. Until my mum came home everything actually was fine. However, she brought a boy home whom she’s adopting!”
“SHE WHAT?!” Niall yelled. It was probably hard enough that his mum downstairs could hear it. His reaction was understandable though Louis thought.
“She adopted a boy is what I said!”
“Well I heard that but I simply didn’t believe you. It’s I don’t know, it’s weird.”
“Yes I know. And the boy is strange as hell,” Louis said back to him.
“How old is the kid actually? Tell me what he’s like,” Niall asked curiously.
“He’s 16 and super smart in school stuff. Doesn’t understand the world though. Super weird. Like, he’s amazed by cars. And not in a normal way we all love awesome Ferraris and cars like that. No, he thinks they’re fascinating objects and he acts like they are as old as Pyramids and old stuff,” Louis explained.
“F*ck man, that’s strange. Any idea’s how you’ll survive?”
“No, I’ll try to avoid him as much as I can. And hopefully he will leave me alone as I will do to him.”
“Best option probably. Still can’t believe it though.”
“Same here.”
“Have to go now, mum’s calling me.”
“Bye Niall.”
“Bye.”
Louis was happy that he’d talk to Niall. Not that it really gave him solutions to solve this mess. However, it gave him a good feeling to know that his friend was evenly amazed by this new situation.

“I’m so sorry for his attitude towards you Harry.” Jay said as soon Louis was away.
“Doesn’t really matter so don’t worry. I expected it and he probably doesn’t hate me personally, just the idea of someone new” Harry said back to her.
“Sorry if I can’t ask you this but how are you going to do your researches while you try to live a normal life? Will you have enough for it?” she asked him. She tried not to say this very loud since all the others from the family weren’t allowed to know what he was about to say and everything around his secret.
“I do not know that yet. First I want to live a full month of just taking notes of normal life, like a journal. For a few reasons this is important. The first thing is, is that this way Liam and I know when we start with the actual project how to do it better since we understand this world. Second it’s important to update our ideas from this historical time. There’s a big change a lot is wrong with the way we think it used to be here. Also I need to write down everything about my health to find out if there are side effects from time travelling. And last because I like to write journals.” Harry ended his talk with a smile when he said journals.
“Well, that sounds good. And after, will you still be at ours when your project starts?”
“Of course I will. Sadly, I won’t have much time to spend with you and your family. I will need a lot of time to calculate our findings back in my room.” Harry wanted to spend the most of his time with the family. To get to know them and to see how a family in this time lives. Harry was fascinated by everything in this century. For him this was because nowadays in his time you still could see clearly how much all the inventions meant for the world but it was far long away to make it ancient.
“Speaking of rooms, do you want to see yours?” she said making Harry shock a bit and stop his thinking.
“Yes please, that would be great,” he said politely back.
She walked upstairs expecting Harry to follow her which he did. Upstairs all doors were closed except two of them. In one Harry could see that Louis was sitting behind his laptop talking to it. Harry saw that on the screen there was another boy. Harry loved to see this instead of the partly teleporting they did where he lived when people wanted to have a quick chat.
Jay walked into the room with the other open door. In this room two walls were painted silver while the other two were black. There was a desk with a very comfortable looking chair. On the desk there lay some books, some pencils with some paper. There also was a laptop standing there. Not that Harry will be using that one a lot for his research. He has a way more updated version of it taken with him. Else he couldn’t use the data back at home since it would be in a total other format. But Harry had to admit he will use it someday to entertain himself with this old laptop. He only had seen one in museums and now he was easily possible to use it. He didn’t let that chance go by.
In the room there was besides the desk a bed and a closet for his clothing. There wasn’t much more but he didn’t need more than that.
“Well this is your room for the time you’ll be here,” Jay said to him, “It isn’t much but it’s something.”
“Oh no, it’s great. Thank you. This is way more then I’ll ever need so I’m fine.
She walked away which left Harry alone in the room. Harry brought not much with him. Most of the stuff he would want to bring with him would be way too futuristic for this time, it wouldn’t even work anyway. He only had that laptop he brought with him, clothes and his favourite books printed in real old time copies. It was a bit funny that he brought them with him actually. Those books were part of the historical genre which meant they also were about this time period.
He grabbed his clothes and put them away in the closet and put the books in the drawer of the desk getting everything ready for a long stay.

Louis stood up to go to Harry's room. He wanted to talk to him, although at the same time he didn't want to at all. He wanted to know the boy because he wanted to know who lives in their house. He didn't like strangers in his house so the way to change that is to get to know him.
Louis peeked inside since the door was open. He saw that Harry was fixing up all his stuff. He didn't have much with him what Louis thought was a bit strange. If you come living to a new house you would expect somebody to bring all his stuff, is what Louis thought. He
He hoped Harry wouldn't see him so he could observe Harry for some time. Maybe he else would think he was a creep to watch him like that. Sadly for Louis that wasn't what happened.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Harry asked.
"Oh... sorry. Can I come in?" Louis said, "Only if you want to."
"Yeah that's fine." Harry sat down on his bed, inviting Louis to come sit next to him. Louis didn't want to sit that close though so he went for the desk chair.
Then there was silence. Louis didn't know how to start the conversation. Louis hoped that Harry would say something but he didn't. Louis came here to get to know him but now he didn't even know what to ask. Starting a conversation with what's your favourite game wasn't really something Louis wanted to do. That would make things even more awkward.
"What's your favourte game?" Louis asked. In the end he thought that asking that would be better than saying noting at all.
"Computer game? Playstation game? I don't know. We didn't have a Playstation at home so I can't answer that. And for computer game if you're thinking of that I never really play games," he answered. Louis wasn't clear and he regretted not being that. Even though h didn't like the boy he at least didn't want to confuse him.
"What?! How can you live without a Playstation man. I live for that thing." Louis said amazed. Never playing on a Playstation is something that would be impossible for him to do.
"I don't know, just never had one? So you do have one I hear, what's your favourite game?" Harry asked him, trying to keep the still a bit awkward conversation going.
"Well.... if you never have, maybe you want to now. With me? If you don't it's fine but yeah if you want." Louis asked him. He didn't really realize that he now invited Harry to be longer together with him. He could get to know Harry but this way wasn't really something Louis had thought of before.
"I don't know. You need to teach me though.”
“I don’t really mind. I’ll teach you. Come to my room?” Louis asked.
They both got up and walked to Louis his room. They sat down on his couch which stood in front of his TV. They sat almost as far away from each other as possible. This mostly came because Louis sat down next and didn’t want to sit directly next to him. The couch was small so they still sat kind of close together. Louis grabbed his latest version of Call Of Duty and put it in his Playstation.
“What game is this?” Harry asked.
“Just a shooting game. Not much special. Still great though.” Louis answered him. He loved playing it but at the moment he played some MMO games more. (multiplayer online games for those who don’t game)
“Here is your controller. With this one you walk. These makes you look around and these are for shooting.” Louis pointed at all the buttons Harry needed to know. He did keep it simple without all the advances options. He choose the easiest gun for Harry to play with and he choose the one he always used.
They played for a while and Louis actually had fun. Of course he had to remind Harry a lot of times how to play, however that was fine with Louis. Normally he got annoyed but now it wasn’t like that. It was fun to watch him play and the talking inbetween the gaming was good as well. Maybe he wasn’t that bad after all.
