Chapter 3

               Alyssa’s POV

Pizza is yummy.

Boys are yummy.

Niall is yummy.

Did I really just think that?! What’s my problem, I only met them today! And yet it feels like I know everything about them. Maybe it’s because I do. Wow that sounded stalker like. What I meant was I did some research in my bedroom when I went to change. I think I might have a crush on Niall. I’m not sure though because I’m always nervous around boys, ever since I was a kid. I thought I might like Harry but when I did my research I realized that he’s just a flirt and never stays in a relationship. All the guys are good looking (and not to mention talented) but would any of them actually go for a girl like me? What is on this pizza that makes me think of such things?

“We should play a question game. Like, so we can get to know one another.” Liam said. “Besides I think its going be awhile for management to send someone.”

“We could play reverse 20 questions.” Alana suggested.

“What’s that?” Zayn asked.

“It’s like 20 questions only instead of asking question about us, you ask us questions about yourselves. And if we get it wrong you have to tell us the right answer.” Alana explained as if everyone already knew, even though Alana and I made it up when we met Isabelle.

“You can take turns asking us questions.” I said seeing as the boys were still a little puzzled.

“Okay… What’s Liam’s favorite color?” Zayn asked now understanding the game.

“Um… Blue?” Alana answered.

“Purple.” I stated. I already knew a lot about them because of the research I did earlier.

“Liam?”

“Alyssa’s right.” Liam answered calmly.

“If Harry was not in a band, what would he be?” Liam asked.

“Would he be lawyer?” Alana asked. This question was easy.

“He’d be a baker.” I stated clearly proud of myself.

“How-” Liam started but Harry interrupted.

“Obviously we’re soul mates.” Harry said in flirty tone while he rapped his arm around me.

I shrugged him off. “No. There’s this little thing called the internet. It’s very useful when five strangers are in your house.” I replied patting his head then pinching his cheeks. I’ve always wanted to do that. His cheeks looked so… pinchable.

“Ok… SPEED ROUND!” Louis yelled.

“What’s strangest about Liam?”

“I think it’s his completely rational fear of spoons.” To be honest I have a fear of spoons myself. But I’m not going to tell the boys. Don’t judge.

“What’s Louis most known for liking?”

“It’s obvious, carrots and pigeons.”

“What’s Zayn’s full name?”

“Zain Javadd Malik. Zain with an ‘I’” the boys looked surprised that I got this far.

“When is Harry’s birthday?”

“February 1st 1994”

“What’s your favorite thing about Niall?”

“His Irish eyes.” I quickly slapped my hand over my mouth. I could feel my cheeks heating up after I answered. Alana, you are going to get it now! That girl is sneaky as ever. Everyone was laughing except Niall, who looked a little pink in his cheeks. “You sneaky little…”
