Sighing, I ran my hands through my hair roughly, and glanced around the room. There was a small bed in the middle of the room, covered in blue. Blue sheets, blue pillows, blue blanket... There was a small nightstand next to it... Painted blue. But don't worry, this one is dark blue; not that that makes much of a difference. On the wall opposite the one with the door to the closet, there was a desk. And, on the desk, was a computer. I almost didn't recognize it for what it was, because my school only has really old ones. I noticed a sign of an apple with a bite out of it on the top, and realized that it must have been made by the same company as the iPhones.

I took off the dress Lou had loaned me, and laid it smoothly on the nightstand, proceeding to pull on some black jeans and a black long-sleeved shirt. I didn't bother to put back on my boots or my jacket. I layed back on my bed and stretched, staring at the ceiling, before a knock sounded on the door. Sighing, I got up, unlocked the door, and opened it cautiously... Only to be greeted by Niall's smiling face.

"Lou wants you to come play a game with us." He said.

I nodded and followed him down the hallway, closing my door softly behind me.

The boys were gathered on the floor in a loosely-knit circle, giggling about something. They looked up when we walked in. Niall went to join them while I stood there awkwardly.

Louis patted the spot on the floor beside him. "Come join us, Cassie. We're going to play Truth or Dare." He said, grinning.

I made my way over to the circle and sat cautiously next to him.

"Alright, since Cassie is our guest, and new, we"ll let her start." I looked at him curiously.

"What's Truth or Dare?" I questioned.

Lou grinned. "Right. In Truth or Dare, you pick truth or dare, and if you choose truth, they'll ask you a question and you have to answer truthfully. But if you choose dare, they'll dare you to do something and you have to do it. Got it?"

I nodded slowly. At least I knew what a dare was; I had seen and heard kids daring each other to do wacky things all the time at school.

"So, Cassie." Lou said. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth." I responded automatically, and all the boys groaned.

Liam shook his head. "Typical girl response." My cheeks burned.

"Alright, fine. We'll start off easy." Louis said. "Do you like to eat carrots in your spare time?" He asked, grinning.

I smiled. "Actually, yes. I happen to love carrots, Louis."

He whooped. "Yes! She loves carrots! She's all mine, boys!" He hugged me gently from the side and I giggled.

Zayn chuckled and shook his head. "You can't have her all to yourself, Lou; she's your sister."

Louis pouted while Liam laughed.

Lou shook his head and turned to me. "Now its your turn."

"My turn for what?" I asked, confused.

"You ask one of us truth or dare." He replied.

"Which one?"

He chuckled. "Whichever one you want."

I didn't like being put in the spotlight like this, so I just smiled at Louis. "Pass." I said quietly.

"Aw; come on!" He complained. I just grinned at him. "Fine." He grumbled. "Who wants to go?"

"I will." Harry said, before any of the other boys could speak. "Alright; so Louis, truth or dare?"

"Dare." Louis replied happily.

"Wrong answer!" Harry said. "Truth! LOU, ARE YOU CHEATING ON ME WITH ELEANOR?!" He shouted angrily.

Louis pouted. "Of course not! I would never cheat on you, Haz!" He grinned cheekily.

I looked back and forth between the two of them, confused.

Niall caught my gaze. He just smiled and shook his head. 'They're delusional', he mouthed to me. I giggled.

Louis turned on Niall next. "Niall, truth or dare."

"Dare."

"I dare you to take a bite out of a raw potato." He said happily.

Niall frowned, but went to get one anyway. When he came back in, he was grinning, and actually took a massive bite out of the potato. I ducked my head and gagged. The other boys just laughed and cheered him on.

"I change my dare!" Louis shouted. "Eat the whole potato!" All the boys shouted and cheered him on. I couldn't look up; I'd get sick.

Finally, the potato was gone and Niall was back to sitting in the circle.

After a while of playing the game, the boys got bored.

"What time is it?" Zayn yawned.

"About midnight." Liam replied.

"Gah! I'm going home."

"I'm going, too."

"GOOD-NIGHT, CASSIE!" They both shouted at the same time.

I laughed, waving at them.

Louis turned to Niall and pouted. "Are you going to leave us, too, Nialler?"

Niall grinned and shook his head.

Harry cheered. "Movie time!" He scrambled up from his sitting position and went over to a bookshelf filled with movies. He shuffled through them for a while, before turning to me. "Cassie, do you have any favorite movies?"

My head turned to the side. "I've never seen a movie before."

Harry's jaw dropped, but he closed it quickly, before an evil smile crossed Louis' mouth. "Harry, put in a scary movie."

I raised an eyebrow, and looked at Louis.

"What?" He smirked. "Afraid of scary movies?"

I shrugged. "I wouldn't know, seeing as I've never seen one."

"THE MOVIE'S STARTING!" Harry shouted, after messing around with something that looked like an oversized computer in the middle of the room. He threw himself on Louis, who was sitting on the couch, and grinned cheekily at him.

"Everyone on the couch!" Louis shouted. I sighed, but dragged myself off the floor and sat down on the couch next to Louis, poking him in the side. The couch groaned as Niall threw himself down next to me. I giggled.

I wasn't really paying attention to whatever movie was playing; Niall was playing with my hair, and it was immensely distracting. I was glad that Lou had turned the lights off, so Niall couldn't see that my face was completely red. Not just my cheeks this time; my entire face. A couple hours later, the movie still hadn't ended and all three boys were snoring. Niall had fallen asleep on my shoulder, and Harry and Louis had fallen asleep on each other. When the movie ended, the screen went blank, and I sat there awkwardly for a moment, before my eyes grew heavy. Unconsciously, I cuddled up to Niall. The last thing I felt before drifting off into unconsciousness was Niall's arms wrapping around me tightly.

I woke up the next morning to the faint glimmer of light beyond my eyelids. Groaning softly, I tried three times before finally managing to get my eyes open. Confused, I blinked, looking around the room, trying to remember where I was. There was a dark bookshelf on one side of the room, a 'television', I think it was called, on the other, and a door on the opposite side of the room. I peered over the top of the couch I was lying on. There was another door on the other side of the room. The walls were painted a nice, chocolate brown, as were the carpets.

Sleepily, I rolled over and tried to fall back asleep, but I rolled onto something soft. I looked up sharply, gasping. I was lying on Niall's stomach. His arms were around me, (how had I not noticed that when I woke?), and he was wide awake, his blue eyes twinkling down at me, smiling. I was too tired to think straight, so I ended up staring at him stupidly for a moment, before cuddling up to his chest again. He chuckled, and his arms tightened around me, pulling me closer to him. I closed my eyes and fell asleep again...

Only to be awoken in what felt like only a minute later. I woke my with my face buried in something warm. Although I had no clue what it was, it was comfortable, so I sleepily pulled myself closer to it. I heard snickers from somewhere nearby, groaning as my sleep was interrupted. I lifted my head slightly, not wanting to emerge from the warm thing I was resting on. I saw Lou and Zayn kneeling at the edge of the couch across from me, holding their phones in front of them, smirking... and there was the precise moment when I realized that the warm thing I was lying on was Niall's chest, and that Harry and Louis were taking pictures. Lou snickered again. I gasped and sat up.

"Erm; I'm s-sorry." I said, blushing intently and starting to pull away from him, but he pulled me back.

"Stay." He whined, pouting. I bit my lip, but let him pull me back to his chest. Harry laughed and pocketed his phone, smirking at us.

"Aw!" Lou cooed. "You two are so cute!" He grinned.

I ducked my head into Niall's chest again to hide my blushing face; I felt his arms tighten around me, if that were even possible. Harry wrinkled his nose. "I can't watch this anymore. Would you care to join me for tea, Louis?"

"Why, of course, Haz. It would be my honor." Harry bowed to him goofily and they both bolted into the kitchen, I guessed.

"Erm; I'm sorry, Niall. I didn't mean to-"

He cut me off. "It's not problem." He smiled at me.

Blushing again, I ducked my head.

"NIALLER!" Lou shouted from the kitchen. "GET IN HERE IF YOU WANT ANY FOOD!"

"Erm; sorry." I said, moving to get away from him for the third time that morning. He held me firmly in place and a sly grin found its way onto his face. I eyed him suspiciously and shrieked when he picked me up quickly and carried me bridal style to the kitchen. "Niall, put me down!" I shouted, laughing.

"No!" He shouted, grinning.

I giggled and succumbed to his warm chest. Snuggling into him, I decided to stay there. Reaching the kitchen, Niall loosened his grip and went to place me gently in a chair. I pouted at him, and he laughed. I heard Harry gag from the corner of the room, but Louis didn't seem to have heard him.

"Niall!" He shouted, complaining. "We're completely out of food!"

Niall glared at him. "I was promised food!" He shouted.

Lou held his hands up in defense. "Food was the only excuse I could use to get you out of there..." He shook his head. "And even with the pretense of food, you brought her with you." He leaned into Harry, and grasped his chest dramatically. "What are we going to do with him?!"

Luckily, no one noticed me still sitting in the kitchen chair, red as a tomato. I got up and tried to make a quiet exit...

"Where do you think you're going, Cassie?" Harry said.

Caught. "Um; to my room..." I said cautiously.

Lou wagged a finger at me, ignoring my last words. "You're just as much at fault as Niall is, young lady!" I nervously shuffled from foot to foot, bracing myself for the beating that was coming next, but Louis just laughed. "I'm only joking, Cassie!" He said.

I bit my lip. Maybe it was just my parents that wanted to beat me to death.

Suddenly the door in the main room slammed open. "HAZ? LOU?" Shouted a voice. Zayn. He stormed into the kitchen and attacked me with a hug. I managed to hold in a gasp, but, luckily, he let go quickly and grinned at me. I sucked in the pain and smiled back at him. Liam came in after Zayn, chuckling. He gave me a gentle hug and smiled. "Good morning, Cassie." He whispered in my ear.

"Morning, Liam." I responded, smiling back at him.

"WE'RE GOING GROCERY SHOPPING TODAY!" I heard Louis exclaim, just as the door opened again. This time, it was just a soft click. "Liam?" I heard a small voice chirp. Liam grinned and ran off in the direction of the voice. I stared after him curiously.

Niall caught my gaze and rolled his eyes. "Danielle, Liam's girlfriend."

"Lou?" I heard another voice call. I raised my eyebrow at Niall.

"Eleanor, Louis' girlfriend." He said, chuckling softly.

I smiled as Louis dashed off into the main room.

I shrugged and followed him. Liam and a girl with long, brown, curly hair were sitting on the couch, talking. I assumed that was Danielle. I turned to Louis. He was currently hugging a girl with long, wavy hair. I assumed that was Eleanor.

I lowered my head, and tried to sink back into the kitchen, but felt Niall's arms wrap around my waist from behind and rested his head on my shoulder.

I squirmed, whining, "Let me go, Niall."

"Nope." He said, popping the 'p'.

I squirmed again, turning around as much as I could, and pouted at him. "Please?"

He bit his lip, staring at me for a moment, then shook his head slowly. "No..." He said weakly, then firmly, shaking his head quickly. "No." I sighed. "What's the problem anyway?" He asked.

I just twisted to face him again. "Didn't Lou say I was supposed to spend the day with them?" I asked curiously.

He nodded. "Yeah; why?"

I sighed again.

"Do you not like them? You haven't even met them yet...?" He said, confused.

"No; they're just... really pretty, and I really wouldn't to bother them..." I mumbled, not making any sense, and trailed off.

Niall scowled. "Why? You're a lot more beautiful than they are..." He mumbled.

I shook my head forcefully.

"CASSIE! STOP FLIRTING WITH NIALL AND COME MEET ELEANOR AND DANIELLE!" Louis shouted. Eleanor slapped his arm and whispered something furiously to him. He looked guilty.

Face red, I finally managed to untangle myself from Niall and move slowly over to where Louis was, keeping my face ducked.

Lou just grinned at me as Danielle and Liam joined them. "Cassie, this is Eleanor; Eleanor, this is Cassie." He said, gesturing to the pretty girl he was standing with. She smiled excitedly at me.

"We're going to have tons of fun today!" I found myself smiling back at her; she already seemed likable.

"Cassie, this is Danielle; Danielle, this is Cassie." Liam said, interrupting my thoughts about Eleanor.

Danielle flashed me a smile. "Happy to meet you, Cassie!" She said sweetly. I smiled back at her; she was just like Liam.

Maybe our 'girls' day' won't be so bad...
