44 : The truth about HIM

"Oh my God...did I just do that?" I said, hugging him in excitement.

"Yea you did." He said. "Good job."

"Not bad for a first time." Harry said. "Brilliant."

Niall's POV:

Those boys who made fun of her were looking at her, stunned. I know that ball was just like a plastic ball for her, but getting the angle right on the first try itself, now that's impressive.

"What now?" I asked. "Do I get another chance?"

"No you don't get a chance if you scored a strike." He said. "Lisa next, then Elsa, Zayn, Louis, Liam and finally Harry.

Lisa knocked down six pins in the first go, then nothing in the second. Elsa didn't knock down anything in both her turns. Zayn knocked down five, then the rest in the second, which means it was a spare. Louis scored a strike. Liam knocked down only one in the first go, then a spare in the second. Harry knocked down three in the first go, and nothing in the second.

There were ten rounds, rounds? Or is it called something else? I don't know. Louis lead with ninety points, followed by Zayn with eighty five, Liam with eighty four, me with eighty, Niall with seventy eight, Harry with fifty, Lisa with forty nine and finally Elsa with forty.

"I tried, okay?" Elsa said.

"Yea...you try every time, and still fail, always." Harry said.

"I don't care. It's just a game. I'm not competing for something competition or something. It's just for fun. No big deal." She said.

"Stop blaming her guys." Zayn said. "Well, you should put your finger into the given holes. Why don't you do that?"

"I don't want my nails to break." She said.

"You gave the same reason the last five times too." Liam said.

"Oh, were you counting?" She said.

"I told you to trim your nails this morning, didn't I?" Zayn asked her.

"I find it really uncomfortable without my nails." She said.

"Can you both stop fighting?" Louis said.

"I know who I'm fighting with." Elsa said. "Not Argy."

"Can we leave?" Harry said. "I'm starving."

"Hey Audrey, those monkeys I saw outside my window, was that you?" Zayn said while we were on our way back home. 

"Yea it was me." I said. "But I wasn't a monkey. I was in my werewolf form."

"Audrey, what does that symbol mean?" Elsa asked. "And why is it that you and Zayn keep telling me to not draw it?"

"Just listen to what he says." I said. "Whatever he says, it's for your own good. It's something beyond our beliefs. I don't know what exactly it is, but please don't draw that again."

"Okay fine." She said. "I was just eager."

"I told you, didn't I?" I said, trying to de-tangle my hair. "It's a mess."

"Take your own time. It's your own hair." He said. "Do you need help?"
