Chapter 5

Alyssa’s POV

I am in love… with… The Lorax! The cute fish that rolls out the door after eating a ton of pancakes is my absolute favorite! They are soooooo cute!!!!! I’m having a spas-attack!

Calm down. Okay, I’m good. I’m chill. I’m cool.

In case you haven’t noticed I get really excited over cute things like that.

“You okay?” Niall asked seeing I was having a mini spas-attack. I didn’t really want to tell about my ADHD because then he would tell the others and all of them would think I’m weird. (Although, I don’t mind being called weird) I just hate the feeling when someone find out I have ADHD, they often look at me like I have a disease. Then they avoid or make fun of me. So, I just try to hide it.

“Yeah, I’m just excited.”  He looked as if he was going to say something else, but Alana and Louis walked in at that moment.

“Alana! You want to go swimming?” I asked quickly wanting to get over the subject of my weird excitement.

“Um… Sure.” Alana, you just saved my life. I mentally thank you.

“You guys have a pool?!” Harry asked a bit surprised.

“Yeah, it’s on the roof.” Alana said as if it were obvious. “We’ll meet you boys there after we get our swimsuits on.” OMG! I didn’t even think about that. The guys are going to see me in my swimsuit. I mentally slapped myself. Why me?

Alana and I head up the stairs. I went into my room to change. I walked into my closet and searched for my swimsuit, a green bikini with cute bows on either side of the bottom piece. It’s not like the ones that have your boobs falling out but I always feel exposed in it. The reason I got it was because it was green and on sale. I looked at myself in the mirror with an overwhelming feeling of insecurity.

“Wow! Sexy!” I heard Harry say from the door. He is going to get it! I turned to hit him but realized it wasn’t Harry.

“Alana, why must you be so good at impersonating voices?” I said with a laugh. Alana stood there with a smirk while rocking a black bikini.

“It’s a gift.” She said in Niall’s voice. I blushed even though he wasn’t really there.

“I feel ugly. The guys are going to laugh at me.” I said. Alana always knew what to do and that’s why I told her.

“You’re not ugly. If you want you can wear a shirt over it.” She suggested. I smiled at her amazing problem solving skills. I walked back into my closet and grabbed a green Hollister fitted T. I slipped on my orange flip-flops and picked up my rainbow sunglasses.

“Ready?” she asked once I had gotten two towels.

“Yup.” I said with a smile as we made our way to the window and up the fire escape. We climbed up; the hot summer air making the pool sound like it was actually a good idea. We got to the top quickly because we were already at the top floor.

Zayn’s POV

I’m going to die. I’m on the friggin’ roof! Why did I let the guys drag me up here? I’m going to fall of somehow, I just know it. I just need to distract myself. So I decided to pay attention to what Harry was saying.

“When the girls get here I’m going to throw Alyssa in.” Harry said.

“Why?” Liam asked.

“It’s all part of my plan to get her to fall for me.” He said with a smirk. I saw Niall frown a little. I knew Niall fancied Alyssa, but Harry didn’t. I don’t even think Niall knew. Alyssa and Niall belonged together like Mac and cheese or chips and salsa. They even had the same birthday for goodness sake.
