23. Elsa's Favorite & Harry's Warning

"Hey, I'm back!" I call to Laela who I'm sure hasn't started studying yet. Typical Laela.

I lock the door and take off my shoes, but before I can take my coat off, Laela is running towards me. She tackles me with a hug, squealing which almost makes my eardrum burst. I'm sensitive to loud sounds and I remind Laela that for the gajillionth time.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm just so happy." she squeals.

I chuckle, "I noticed that, what happened?"

"Harry, he came, and-" she starts mumbling excitedly.

"Woah, Laela slow down I can't understand anything you're saying."

"Harry came and said that he really liked me, then he asked me out!"

"Really?! Oh my god he did it!" I exclaim, understanding why she was so excited all this time.

We hug each other, jumping and squealing until Laela realizes what I just said. "Wait, what?" she inquires, "What do you mean 'he did it'?"

Oops. "Uh, What do you mean what do I mean?" I use my manipulating skills.

"You know what I mean." she retorts, damn, it didn't work this time.

"Oooh, now I get what you're talking about!" I say, trying to act innocent, "Well I mean that I knew he liked you, and I just knew he would ask you out, it was totally obvious." I smile innocently.

"Really?" she takes the bait.

"Of course!" I reply. She believes me and squeals a bit more until I totally lose my sense of hearing. No, not really I was just kidding. It still hurts though.

I can't believe Harry actually did it. I'm so happy for both of them. This reminds me of that time we were watching Xfactor once.

(flashback)

"Oh my god, they were amazing today!" I exclaim, flinging my hands in the air to give a more dramatic effect.

"I know right! Especially Harry." she smiles dreamily at the last part. "I'm gonna meet him someday, I know it!"

"I hope so." I tell her. "Then I'm gonna marry him!" she continues. I burst out laughing, "Yeah, sure you are, just don't touch Zayn, he's mine." I warn her.

"You guys are ridiculous." Elsa chuckles.

"What about you Elsie, who's your favorite?" I ask her with my nickname for her.

"I don't know I don't really have a favorite." she replies.

"Oh come on, there has to be one of them you like the most!" I exclaim, bumping my shoulder with hers.

"I don't know." she laughs again, pushing my glasses closer to the bridge of my nose.

"Come oooon." I plead. "Alright, alright." she gives in, "Maybe Liam." she says. I always knew she liked the responsible, smart kind of boys who are also very cute and sweet.

"Awww." me and Laela laugh together, making Elsa turn red. We are having a great time.... until we hear the front door opening, telling us Mom and Dad are back. Oh, no. Well at least they won't do much if Laela's here. But if she stays for too long they're gonna make her leave like always. I hold on to my big sister for dear life, knowing that she'll protect me, she always has and always will.

The next day is my first day at college and in the morning I'm actually happy, which is very strange for me, considering all the ranting about mornings that happens in my head. I'm just not a morning person, even if I do love the sunrise. I am indeed, a very strange person. But you have to admit, the sunrise is very beautiful.
