Alyssa POV
After an hour and fifteen minutes of driving the car pulled to a stop. I glanced out the window to see that we had stopped outside a house
"Come on then, everyone out of the car" My aunt (I'll just call her Sharon) said. I rolled my eyes as I turned off my IPod and stuffed it in my pocket, before getting out of the car and walking to the boot to grab my overnight bag. I followed my cousins (Hannah and Jake) to the front door of the house. Hannah knocked on the door as Sharon walked up the path, holding a bag which obviously contained clothes for all three of them. A few seconds later a woman opened the door
"Maura, hi" Sharon smiled hugging the woman "its lovely top see you again"
"Oh Sharon" The woman... well Maura smiled "Hannah, Jake you two have grown so much... and this must be Alyssa" She smiled at me as I awkwardly waved at her
"Sorry we're a little late" Sharon apologised
"Oh no need to apologise, we haven't eaten yet. Here come in; I'll take your bags... The boys are in the living room go and have a chat"
I followed the others into the house and my aunt pushed me towards the door, which I assumed led to the living room, before taking my bag
"go" she instructed
I sighed and opened the door. Hannah who had run in before me was standing in the middle of the room pouting whilst Jake was hugging a boy, who couldn't be much older than me, with blonde hair. I couldn't see the boy's face but I could see his hair
"No fair Jake, I wanted to hug Niall first!" Hannah complained. The name Niall wasn't really uncommon in Ireland, my cousin's boyfriend was called Niall,I had met him a few nights ago. He was lovely, tall with dark hair... in his late twenties.
"Don't you want to hug me Han?" A husky voice came from across the room; I didn't bother looking over to the owner of the voice, though it did strike me as odd. This voice didn't seem to belong to the accents I heard all around me; it was far too familiar. It wasn't an Irish accent... but British.
"No way Harry, why would I want to hug you?" Hannah said crossing her arms
"Hey now" The voice... or Harry complained "No fair, last time I was here I let you have a piggyback ride to the shops"
"Niall let me play his guitar" Hannah argued back. I laughed at her tone, causing the attention to be drawn to me. I was trying not to think about how strange it was that there was a Niall and a Harry in the same house. I wasn't one of those girls, who freaked out over meeting famous people, and One Direction would be no different, but last I had heard, they were all in England. I rolled my eyes at how stupid I was acting. It wasn't unusual for people to be called Niall and Harry.
I glanced up and froze in shock. It wasn't because of the person stood in front of me, yet it was in face because there was a person standing right in front of me, staring at me
"HI!" He grinned, a laugh escaping his lips at my facial expression
"err... hi?" I muttered backing away slightly
"Don't scare her Louis" The blonde guys muttered... looking up from where he had Hannah and Jake sitting on his lap "Hey there, you must be Alyssa... I'm Niall" He smiled
"Yeah, I know who you guys are" I shrugged looking around the room "Harry, Louis, Niall, Zayn and Liam from One Direction if I'm correct"
"Yeah that would be right" Louis smiled
"Wow, dude we've found a girl who isn't freaking out... it's awesome" Harry chuckled from where he was sitting on the sofa
"Oh, I can freak out if you want me to" I smiled shyly
Niall laughed and stood up "I'd love to see that, but first I think we all want to get to know you a bit better"
"right" I said as he put his arm around my shoulder and lead me towards the sofa. I had just sat down when Sharon (my aunt) came in and called Hannah and Jake in for dinner
"Oh, I want food" Niall muttered
"Dude, ours is coming in like ten minutes" Zayn laughed
Niall sighed "Yeah, but I'm hungry"
"Ignoring that" Liam muttered "So Alyssa, let's get to know you better"
"What do you want to know?" I asked
"Everything!" Louis yelled
The other four boys nodded in agreement "Okay" I started "Well my name is Alyssa, I'm seventeen years old, born on the twenty sixth of September. I live just outside of London, in Finchley. I'm in college studying Performance Arts... I like food, errr... I can speak a bit of Irish-"
"Whoa cool" Niall smiled "I wonder if you're any better than this lot"
Louis smirked "Go on say something"
"Dun doe bheal" I muttered
"Oh come on, even I know that one" Harry chuckled
"errr... pog ma thoin?"
"And that one"
"Fine... but can you count?"
"Wha-?" Harry asked
Liam interrupted him before he could say anymore "Let the girl speak"
"Well I can count"
"Go on then" Louis pushed
"a haon, a dó, a trí, a ceathair, a cúig, a sé, a seacht, a hocht, a naoi, a deich" I smiled
"Oh well look at you miss fancy pants" Harry pouted
"Save it Styles" I laughed
Zayn, who had been quiet throughout this portion of the conversation finally decided to speak up "Well, is there anything else we should know?"
"Okay, well... I like FRIENDS, I like the colours blue and green, I'm small, I have some Irish blood in me, I have weird friends... I'm the girl version of Joey Tribbiani when it comes to food, but all my friends say I'm like Rachel.. err... that enough?" I asked awkwardly
"Hell yeah buddy!" Niall laughed
Liam nodded in agreement "Hey guys, do you know what this calls for?" He asked
We all looked at him confused and he grinned grabbing a box from the floor "FRIENDS Marathon!"
I grinned and stood up, doing my Chandler dance "YAY!"
"You're awesome" Louis and Harry laughed at the same time
"Why thank you" I smiled
I had just gone to sit down again, whilst Liam stood up and walked towards the DVD player to put season one of FRIENDS into the player when Niall's mum walked into the living room
"Dinner's ready for you lot" She smiled
"FOOD!" Niall and I yelled at the same time, racing each other to the kitchen. Tonight was going to be awesome
