Chapter 16

Niall's POV

I was in my room, doing a writing assignment for my English class that was due Monday.

Stressed, I sighed and laid back on my chair, I rubbed my tried eyes and stretched my back. Who would've thought a writing assignment could be so hard and draining?!

I quickly went back to my writing so I could finish this faster. Even though it was a Friday, I wanted to go to bed early so I could get a good night's sleep. This past week has been pretty tiring.

''It's prom night." I heard.

I quickly turned my head in surprise.

"Mason!" I excitedly stood up from my chair. I paused. "Today's prom night?..." I asked.

"Yes! I thought you were going, yet you're here doing... That." Mason pointed at my paper.

"That is a writing assignment. Did you ever have to write one?" I asked.

Mason shrugged. "I don't recall, I don't care!" He said in a carefree manner.

"Alright..." I said as I sat back on my chair. "Anyways, I don't really care if it's prom night... I don't have a date, or friends to go with." I explained.

Mason smiled in a 'I-know-something you-don't' way. "I must say you're wrong there. You got your suit?" Mason asked.

I raised my eyebrow. "Y-yeah, it's in my closet." I replied, pointing at my closet door. "Actually about that! I don't really like the clothes that I have in this dimension... They're really not my style." I blatantly said.

Mason clicked his tongue. "Never mind that! Put your suit on!" He ordered.

I laughed. "Chill out! It is 8 p.m, I don't have time to be playing dress up, thank you." I denied Mason's request.

"I guess you'll have to learn the hard way, as always! You stubborn little..." Mason paused.

"Watch it." I warned him.

He chuckled and straightened his posture. "Well, have fun then! Be safe and don't do drugs!" Mason exclaimed.

"Oh, no, no, Mason, don't do th-"

Suddenly, my door swung open.

Louis and Harry quickly walked in, with grins plastered on their faces.

"Niall! My friend! Get ready we are kidnapping you for the night!- Of course with your mother's permission." Louis exclaimed.

I stayed still, confusion written all over my face. I pointed at the two of them. "How do you two know where I live?" I asked.

Louis laughed awkwardly as he looked at Harry. "Uh... That doesn't matter right now! Get ready we'll be waiting downstairs. And do not dare to bail on us!" Louis said.

I chuckled. "Even if I wanted to bail out I'm not really in the mood to run away from my own house."

Louis did a fake laugh. "Very funny, Horan. You got ten minutes, boy!" He said as they both walked to my door and quickly shut it.

I pressed my fingers on my template. "I guess I'm not getting that goodnight's sleep." I said to myself.

Ever since I arrived to this dimension I've been letting people drag me everywhere.

I quickly changed and made my way downstairs.

I saw that Louis and Harry were having a good conversation with my mum in the kitchen, tea and biscuits included. Oh boy...

I cleared my throat to get their attention. "Let's go, guys..." I awkwardly said.

The three of them turned their heads to me.
