Forever (Harry Styles/one direction vampire fanfic)

Chapter 9

I just sat there, looking at Harry, then looking at the movie. I did this every five seconds. It was starting to give me the creeps. I decided to break apart from this awkwardness.

“I'm gonna' go help Niall, uh with the popcorn.” I stuttered. I pushed myself off the couch. Harry nodded, and Louis was making a ssshhhh noise. You know what Louis, you shhh! Whatever, mr. sassy pants.

I walked into the kitchen to see Niall pulling bags of popcorn out of the box. The bright light made me squint my eyes, because it was dark in the living room.

“Niall, do you need help?” I asked. He nodded anxiously.

“Yes! I always burn popcorn, so please help me!” You would think that he'd know how to make popcorn by now.

“Ok. Do you read the instructions?” His eyes scanned around the room.

“Uh, um, no. Because I'm a werewolf, I can't read very well. It takes us a lot of practice. It's almost like dyslexia, kind of. But it happens to every werewolf.” Oh, that was a shocker. Now I feel like I offended him.

“I'm sorry. I didn't know.”

“It's ok. Let's get back to cooking, shall we?” I nodded with a small smile, and he smiled back. It was no wonder that Niall hardly ever read as a kid. It was kind of sad, you know? But then I wondered about Kat and Riana. Well, he did say that if they practiced, they could read.

“Ok!” I got a bag of popcorn and read the instructions to him. He seemed to like the fact that I read to him. He did exactly what the instructions said, and after everything was done, not a single thing was burned.

We carried 4 big plastic bowls to the living room, handing them to everyone. I went back to get the last bowl. I decided to sit away from Harry, on the other side of Zayn. I didn't care what Harry was thinking, he was being creepy. I plopped down on the couch and Harry raised his eyebrows, probably thinking why I sat somewhere else. Zayn gave me the same look. I just shrugged.

Eventually the movie was over. It was around 10:00. None of us were tired, but we didn't know what to do.

“How 'bout we play a game!” Kat said. Hmm. A game. It depends on what game it was. If it was something like spin the bottle I was not going to play, no way.

“Yeah!” Everyone agreed. Great.

“What game?” I asked, concerned.

“Hide and seek!” Kat recommended.

“No. That is like for little kids.” Louis said. She made a “not so happy” face.

“Ok. How about spin the bottle?” I rolled my eyes.

“Nooooooo” I said.

“Gee. What do you guys recommend then, hmm?” She was getting frusterated.

“Truth or dare!” Harry blurted out.

“That sounds cool.” Niall said. Everyone nodded, but me. I hated truth or dare.

“Ok, then let's start!” We all were chatting away. Louis wanted to go first. Great, Louis. I'm sure he was going to give the nastiest, dirtiest, or stupidest dares or truth questions ever. And of course he had to ask me.

“Anna, truth or dare?” I didn't know what to say.

“Uh, dare I guess?” That was a big mistake. Why didn't I say truth? At least I wouldn't have to do anything! Right when I was about to take it back he told me what I had to do.

“I dare you to...” Oh my god. No way in eternity was I going to let them do that. I didn't understand why Kat and Riana didn't even try to help me by saying no.
