So, it's kind of stupid, really, but Louis' trying to build up this Anna person to the best of his ability. He wants to use what little amount of information Harry knows to his advantage in order to avoid suspicion. He listened in English class, thank you very much, and he knows how to develop a character. Well, sort of. Improvisation is always fun.

Good God, he's screwed.

It's also been an entire week of constant IMing, and anyone has yet to figure out that something is not quite right with Anna. Louis feels kind of smug, so just to top it off he searches long and hard through the profile he had stolen photos from and finds one of the girl dressed in a uniform for work. It's not quite a waitress look, but it's close enough, so Louis sends it to Harry attached with a winky face.

He's in too deep.

He's just about halfway through a chapter of a book Harry raves about - something full of cheesy romance and mysterious murders, no doubt - when his phone buzzes and, yep, it's that time again. He casually (with a very masculine squeal) throws the book across the room, snatching up the small device in his hands and reading Harry's newest message. He also has a few from some guy named Darrel, but he decides to ignore those.

Harvey: i get tired of all the people sometimes. 

Harvey: it's hard being exposed to so much of it all the time, you kno?

Harvey: like i never get a break from it, it's not like i can just take a holiday from it.. it follows me...

Anna: i can imagine. it's not the life for everyone.

Anna: I had a tennis match! well, against my mum. 

Anna: i won.

Harvey: good job! 

Anna: yeah, we played a set. it was funnn.

Harvey: im sure it was. 

Anna: im more into football than tennis tbh though...

Harvey: well u should tell me about it then!

Louis bites his lip. His extensive knowledge of football may or may not be normal for a common young woman to have obtained, so he decides to swerve away from the conversational topic, much to his dismay.

Anna: idk... i mean i like to play and watch but i'm no expert

Harvey: i have a mate who loooves football. reckon you'd be better for him than me

Anna: ha... well, he's not here, is he? i made this to talk to people and i found u.

Harvey: well im glad u did make it!

Anna: me too.
