OH! AND I WANT TO SAY 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' TO MY DEAR FRIEND HOLLY :D THIS CHAPTER IS YOUR BIRTHDAY PRESENT! :D

Tally followed his gaze and pursed her lips, then turned back to Liam, smiling sweetly. "You want to know why? Well I can't act like Holly because one, I am not her, and two, I hate your stupid band," she said simply. Then she got up and walked off with her sandwich, leaving Liam sitting there, staring, no, glaring, after her.

A couple of days after "the incident", everyone could feel the tension growing between Tally and Liam. You could practically feel and see the coldness between them. Tally was actually starting to become nicer to the rest of the boys, and was starting to, after loads of urging, spend some time playing guitar with Niall, and getting to know him more, bit by bit. Back to the problem with Liam, no one knew anything about the conversation they had, and no one dared to ask what happened, even though they all knew Tally and Liam didn't actually start off smooth when they first met, what, with Tally not knowing his name and all.

Holly, of course, was great with the boys, and they all liked her. She thought Louis really fancied her, because he was really nice and was such a gentleman to her, but after about a week, she noticed that Louis was really nice to everyone. He was just that kind of person. So by now, halfway into the second week since they first met the boys, she's starting to lose hope in her crazy dream that somehow Louis will ask her out.

So now school's out for winter break, and Tally and Holly came with Eve everyday to work with the boys (Holly willingly, and Tally not-so-willingly).

Right now, Tally and Holly are sitting in the sound system controlling part of the recording room, watching the boys on the other side of the room. They were separated by a thin wall of glass. The boys were about to record their first song, What Makes You Beautiful. Tally thought the song was extremely cheesy.

Eve was sitting right in the middle of the sound system controlling part of the recording room, right in front of all the sound system equipment. The boys' all had their gazes on her, waiting for her signal to start. Eve held up a hand- three, two, one... and she pressed the recording button as the instrumental of What Makes You Beautiful filled the boys' side of the room.

Liam started singing, and Tally, who with Holly and Eve, were listening to him through their headphones, blinked. He sounded alright... pretty good, actually. Tally looked up at Liam and found him smirking at her, while continuing to sing,"..Being the way that you are is enough..."

Tally pursed her lips, feeling a twinge of annoyance. She rolled her eyes at Liam, and looked at Niall instead. She smiled when she saw that he was also looking at her, his trademark cute grin on his face. Even though Niall didn't get a solo part in this song, she still could point out his voice when all the boys start singing the chorus. "Baby you light up my world like nobody else..."

Tally found herself singing softly along to the song, while Holly jumped off hear seat and starting to dance around randomly, making silly moves. Tally laughed and she saw that the boys grinned and Louis was trying hard not to laugh. But he failed.

"Louis!" Harry exclaimed, looking annoyed and amused at the same time. "We were doing great! Now we'll have to restart the recording again, right Eve?" he asked, looking at Eve through the glass.

Eve tried to put a stern look on her face, which didn't quite work. "Yes. We'll have to restart," she said. Then she turned and looked at Tally. "Dear, I think it would be better if you and Holly go outside for a while until the boys finish their recording."

"With pleasure," Tally said, standing up and walking towards the exit.

Holly grinned sheepishly. "Sorry," she said to Eve. She looked up and saw Louis wink at her, while the other boys laughed and grinned in the background. She started to blush and she then followed Tally out of the room.

"So... Tals... You and Niall, huh?" Holly asked, grinning. They were walking side by side aimlessly through the corridors.

Tally eyed Holly wearily. "Umm.. Nope," she answered.

"Suuuuuuureee..." Holly said, trailing out the word, unconvinced.

Tally sighed. "Niall's really great and all, but I really just think of him as a good friend. Or a brother."

Holly looked at her. "But he obviously fancies you! Anyone can tell by that look he gives you!"

Tally shook her head. "Nah. That's just your opinion. And, well, Louis fancies you, right?" This made Holly shut up.

They walked in silence for a couple of minutes. "Maybe we should get back now, they're probably done," Holly told Tally. Tally nodded in agreement and they turned back the way they came.

Before they reached the door, it banged open and the boys ran out, whooping, with Eve following behind, smiling.

"WE DID IT! WE RECORDED OUR FIRST SONG! WE DID IT!" Louis yelled. All the other boys laughed while they jumped and skipped around madly.

"We actually did it! Our first song! I can't believe it!" Niall exclaimed, his face was glowing with pure joy. He walked, hopped, over to Tally, doing the unexpected. He hugged her tightly. Tally blinked several times, surprised. Then she hugged Niall back a bit awkwardly, since she's not really the hugging type. But she decided it felt nice, and she smiled. "Thanks, Tally," Niall whispered in her ear.

No one else noticed them hugging, because all of them were all in an animated conversation. No one except a certain brown-haired boy, standing there silently, watching them.

AN: WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK? :D REVIEW PLEASE! (and if you didn't get that, the 'brown-haired boy' who watched Tally and Niall hug each other is LIAM :D Now.. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! Xxx
