Chapter 23: Courtney Becomes a Teacher

A/N Hey everyone. Again, I'm updating off schedule. I think I'm going to just give up on the whole schedule thing and update when I can. Often times I only have a few minutes, not enough to type up the new chapter, before I have to run and go to a Youth Group thing, or a Girl Scout event. So, no more schedule, just: "Updating when I can!" Sorry about that, I understand if you may be upset.

Also, who saw this new cover? What do you think? I like it. It was made by 0NeonLights0. You should definitely check her out for covers, since hers are amazing!

Thirdly, who heard the news? Payzer is over. I'm kind of disappointed, since I thought they were so sweet together, even though they've been off and on (hopefully this is just an off phase and they'll get back together soon, though).

Anyway, let's just end my rant, and start the chapter, right? So, here it is, Chapter 23! Enjoy!

Courtney's POV

"LUCY BELLE COLE AND NIALL JAMES HORAN!" I heard Louis yell from Lucy's room. He, Lizzie and Harry had gone into Lucy's room to find Lucy and Niall after they had run away from us. Then again, we were pelting them with Nerf gun darts, so I guess they were justified. But we still had wanted to find them.

I locked eyes with Liam and we both shared an expression of, "Oh no." I took the lead and ran into the room, Liam, Ana, Zayn, Kelly, and Simone following me. We found Louis poking his head out of the window, yelling out the window, Harry and Lizzie peering out the window over his shoulder.

"JUST WHAT DO YOU TWO THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Louis called.

"What's going on?" Kelly asked, asking the question that was on all our minds.

"Niall and Lucy were kissing!" Lizzie exclaimed, turning to face us now. Louis and Harry followed her lead, getting out of the way of the window.

I felt my mouth drop wide open. "Are you serious?" When Lizzie nodded, I cheered. "Finally she actually did something!" I exclaimed, dancing around the bedroom. I had been waiting for that since she explained what was going on with her and Niall.

Simone gave me a strange look, and not because of my dancing. "What do you mean?" Everyone just looked at me, confused.

Shoot. "Um, I just thought they'd be cute together, so I was glad that they actually took a step toward it," I covered my tracks easily.

"Uh huh," Ana said, raising her eyebrows, not believing me but going along with my story since there was no other explanations. But I knew that she secretly shipped them too, but would never admit it. "Whatever you say, Courtney."

Harry peered out the window. "Are you two going to come back in, or are you too embarrassed or something?" he asked them with a laugh.

Lucy poked her head in through the window. "Very funny, Harry. And you all are just...oh never mind," she said, heading into her room, followed by Niall. "You were spying on us, and you're proud of yourselves..." But they both were blushing, which made me laugh quietly. "What's so funny, Courtney?"

I froze. Caught, again! "Oh, nothing," I lied again.

"Uh huh," Lucy said, also not seeming like she believed me.

"Anyway, so we'll all see you guys tomorrow, we have to go," Zayn said, sighing like he didn't want to go. I didn't blame him; a day with us was pretty crazy and fun, at least to us.

"Yeah, we'll see you tomorrow," Simone said, smiling. We all said our goodbyes, which were kind of awkward for Lucy and Niall.

As soon as the boys were gone, I jumped onto the bed and lay back against the wall. The rest of the girls took seats around the room, except for Lucy. We all stared at her.
