Half a Hero

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

                Alana’s POV

                “Home, Sweet, Home,” Alyssa and I said at the same time. They stared in awe at our apartment, and I could tell they were impressed. I smirked.

                “Okay boys,” I turned back to them and crossed my arms. “Tell us your names or get your butts out that window.”

                “I’m Zayn!” Eager are we?

                “I’m Niall.” Blondie can talk.

                “I’m Liam.” That’s better than the Un-Named One. No ninja moves for me.

                “I’m Louis.” Did he just get hotter?

                “And I’m Harry.” He winked at us, and threw us what I suppose he thought was a flirty smile. I think he was trying to be sexy, saying his name in a slow deep voice. Too bad it wasn’t working.

                Alyssa said back to him, while mocking his tone, “Are we supposed to care?” He seemed taken aback, but then I assume he remembered we didn’t know who they were. “I’m hungry!”

                Leave it to Alyssa to remind me of my empty stomach. “Me too,” Niall cried.

                “Alyssa how about you order pizza?” She nodded and grabbed the phone off the kitchen counter. “How much pizza will you all eat?”

                “Niall will eat a whole pizza, but the rest of us will only eat half,” Liam informed. I did a quick calculation and came up with, “So we need six pizzas.”

Alyssa nodded. She dialed the familiar number and put it on speaker.

“Hi girls,” a voice said through the phone. Before you freak out (wait why would you freak out?), we call for pizza so often they know our phone number by heart and know when we call.

“Hey Jason, how’s it going?” Alyssa said.

“Not too bad, you two want the usual?” He questioned.

“Actually double it,” I spoke up.

“Hungry are we?” He laughed.

“Sure let’s go with that.”

“Do you want it on the card?” He asked.

“That would be great, thanks Jason.” Alyssa then read off the card number.

“Bye, Jason, say hi to Isabelle for me!” I spoke to the phone. Isabelle was his little sister; she was a friend of ours, which is how we heard about our favorite 24hour pizza place. I think Alyssa and I are the only customers after 10pm.

“Will do girls, see you!” The line went dead.

“So your usual is three pizzas?” Zayn inquired.

“No dip detective, I’m glad you got past second grade math.” Alyssa retorted. I think my sass is rubbing off on her.

“No dip? Don’t you mean no sh...” Harry started, but Alyssa interrupted.

“AHH there will be no swearing! There is a child present!” As if on cue we all turned to look at Louis.

“Hey, I’m not a child!”

“Could have fooled me,” I mumbled under my breath. Harry snickered at my comment.

“What was that?” Louis shouted. I took a step back and looked him in the eye. I almost got lost in them before I came back to my senses.
