I kept looking at the old withered grandfather clock that hugged the brown door frame, while laying on the blue-green wall the was to the right of the cash

register, just hoping and praying that going home was not an option. The scorching July heat made 'Book Worm' feel like the Sahara desert, and the humidity was not

helping at all. The little hairs that were out of my ponytail stuck to the back of my neck and temples. The humidity made my neon green, lace tights stick to my long

legs. Standing up I pulled my tights away from my thighs, adjusted my white shorts and pulled down my white neon paint splattered tank-top.

Turning around I looked into the little square that hangs loosely on the wall. Pulling my hair-tie out of my hair I run my fingers through my red, curly hair

and slowly start to put it back into a high ponytail. Keeping my bangs out I smooth all the little bumps out of my hair and finish tying it up. Using my pointer finger

I carefully wipe away the smudged eyeliner underneath my eyes. I turn at the sound of the bell ringing indicating that someone was walking in. A smiled tugged at the

corners of my mouth when I seen who walked in.

"Welcome to Book Worm! Let me know if you guys need any help finding anything." I said finally flashing my smile.

"Thanks Liz!" Liam said with a half smile. His short hair sticking straight up, his plain white tee shirt sticking to his chest along with his tan shorts

hanging loosely. Liam, Zayn and Niall all went towards the educational section. Sitting down I grabbed the guitar that was laying up against the wall, strumming a

couple chords of 'Little Things' I noticed that I am smiling again.

"And all these little things" sang a soothing voice. I looked up to see the dirty blonde, blued eyed Niall. "Hey I'm Niall"

"From One Direction" I said smiling. "I'm Lisa!"

"So I'm guessing you like us?" Niall said with a half smile.

"Well I kind of have too. You really don't remember me do you?" I stated while returning the smile.

"Should I, and what do you mean 'you have too'?" He asked while running a hand through his hair. Before I could answer Louis came bursting through the door.

"No need to fear ma'am Superman is here!" He said jumping into his stance "Now Lizbug is this boy bothering you? Because if he is..." he said staring at

Niall "...I can surely take care of him." He stated with a cocky smile. Crouching down, he sprang at Niall, within a minute they were wrestling on the floor. Liam and

Zayn were now done looking at books and were watching the match that was unfolding out onto the bookstore floor.

"Guys c'mon! Guys stop!" I yelled while getting up, but they didn't hear me. Connecting my thumb and pointer finger together I brought it to my mouth and let

out a loud whistle. Stopping they looked up at me and smiled sheepishly. Putting my hands on my waist I just look at them. Giving them 'the look', you know the stop it

now or you're dead. Helping Louis and Niall off the floor I spoke up "Louis, where's Jillian?"

"With Eleanor" he said while giving Niall a look.

"Okay...Liam did you find what you were looking for?"

"No but that''s okay. Thank you anyways." HE said flashing a friendly smile.
