Obsidious H.S.

chapter six

Niall's POV

There's a loud bang on my hotel room door followed by a familiar bellowing voice. I pause what I am doing immediately.

"Sound check-in 30 Ni hurry your ass up, we don't need you putting everything behind schedule again." Mercedes yells through the door.

"Uhh I'm busy right now, might be late." I say in a slightly panicked voice.

"I'm sure whatever you're doing can wait. This can not."

"Umm no this can't wait, kind of in the middle of something. I just need to... finish."

"Niall you've been late to soundcheck this whole week using the same excuse every time." she says obviously running out of patience. "You have 5 seconds to open this door or I'm coming in and pulling you out by your ears." Mercedes threatens.

"Wait, no don't come in!"

"5..."

"Shit!"

"4..."

" Okay okay I get it you can stop the counting"

"3... not stopping hun"

"Alright alright I'm coming"

I open the door in a rush to see Mercedes' short figure standing on the other side.

She starts to peek her head around my body and into my room but I quickly block her line of sight.

"What are you hiding in there Ni? I've literally walked in on you and a girl many times before. And you remember that one time in Japan when I-"

"Okay, that's enough we don't have to relive that one again." I cut her off abruptly and shake my head in embarrassment.

"Anyways, the point is, it can't be anything I haven't already seen, so what is it?"

I look around the hotel hallway before looking back at Mer with a shocked expression. "Oh hey, Mer! I didn't see you there, what's up?"

"Niall James Horan, move out of my way before I make you."

Mercedes may be a whopping 5 feet tall but she is as strong as a lumberjack even though I'm pretty sure that's not possible.

She moves right but before she can sneak her small frame past me I grab her by her shoulders to keep her in place. She elbows me in the ribs in the blink of an eye and swiftly slides right past me. Pausing right behind me before letting out a loud, short, cackle.

"Ha! Are you guys seriously playing fucking monopoly like 6 year olds?"

Luke and Zayn look up at Mercedes with innocent expressions plastered on their faces.

"This is why I didn't want to tell you." I whine, "I knew you were going to make fun of us."

"You are grown ass men and this is how you choose to spend your time?" She cackles again. "Pathetic."

"Alright we get it, now that you've had your fun here respectfully get the fuck out of here, Zayn's about to land on my park place and I'm gonna be rich, I can feel it." Luke announces excitedly.

"No, I have a strategic way to roll my dice." Zayn rolls the dice revealing that both dice have one dot on them as he finishes his sentence. "Snake eyes! Fuck you Luke I am just better than you.'' Zayn shouts into Luke's face as he groans out of annoyance.

"Ya know what? I'll meet you guys at soundcheck." Luke stands up and walks out of the room.

Zayn gets up and chases after him "you're such a sore loser bro, you just can't accept the fact that..."
