The Gang // AU One Direction

Chapter 3

Finally the last bell rang and I slumped down the hallway out of the school. Niall walked "home" with me since Liam didn't want me to be alone. It was a quiet walk and Niall followed a few feet behind me. He still had major bruises on his face.

I opened the door to the house and there was a silence. I could feel the awkward tension as Harry, Jenna, and Liam stare at me. I pause right in front of door and Niall runs into me.

"Oh sorry." He apologizes, I drop my head and go into my room quickly ignoring any calls for me. I close my door and throw my bag across the room. With all the stress in my head I decide to tune out the world. Headphones in, people out. I lay on my bed and let out a deep breath attempting to relaxing.

"Calli." Liam opened the door and I pulled my headphones out. "We need to talk in the living room."

"Alright." I followed him to the couch where we sat across from Harry and Jenna. I heard noise in the kitchen which I guessed was Niall.

"So I called my mom while you were at school and she said of course you can stay. Now all we need to do is figure out rooms." Harry explained smoothly.

"I thought we already had rooms." I said confused.

"Well I'm sure Niall is going to want his room back right Niall?" Jenna snapped. I tried to ignore her glares. I turned to see Niall right behind me.

"Yeah." He agreed.

"Well someone is going to have to share." Liam says to him. Niall grinned.

"I'll share with Calli." He smirked and I felt my face burn. Liam's warm eyes grew cold and he glared at Niall making him step back putting his hands up in defense.

"Just kidding." Niall laughs. I turned back to Harry.

"I'll share with Liam." I told him. "I've done it since birth. Can't be that bad."

"No Calli. You should get your own room. I'll sleep on the couch." Liam claimed. I rolled my eyes.

"You can't sleep on the couch." I said.

"Of course he can." Jenna smiled.

"And if I'm not gonna stay he can go in my room." Niall adds. I sighed.

"Great. Now that's settled. Dinner should be here soon." Harry clapped his hands in excitement and walked off into the kitchen. As if on cue, the door opened up causing me to jump and two older boys walked in with bags. The atmosphere seemed to have changed quickly when they walked in.

"We have dinner!" The taller one with black quiffed hair yelled kicking off his shoes and planting himself in Harry's old spot. Jenna grabbed the bags that were placed on the coffee table and gladly took them to the kitchen. The other boy laughed and plopped onto the couch right next to his friend.

Startled and confused I scooted closer to Liam and tugged on his sleeve, "Who are they?" I whispered trying not to be rude. Liam chuckled and walked into the kitchen to help Harry with Dinner. Jenna shuffled out of the kitchen and into her room and I was left alone with the two guys that I have just met.

"What did you get for us?" Suddenly I wasn't alone on the couch as Niall sat down next to me. I felt more comfortable having someone I know in the room, although there is something about Niall being so close that gave me odd feelings. I'm not so sure whether the feeling was good or bad.

"Well we have some Taco Bell, Chinese and-" The first boy started but he was stopped by the second who startled me with his loud voice.

"Woah! Who is she?" The one with tousled brown hair asked with confusion. I guess his idea of rude is different from mine.
