Chapter Twelve:
Paige’s POV:
Too say I was beyond nervous was the understatement of my life. Liam’s bandmates had been here for a total of five minutes and already I felt like they hated me. Sure, they smiled and tried to include me in whatever they were talking about, but I saw the glances they kept sending my way when one of them would whisper something to one of the others. At least they were trying to be discreet.
I vaguely heard someone clear their throat and looked up to see a blonde haired boy staring at me; I think Liam said his name was Neil.
“Neil” just kept looking at me like he was waiting for me to say something, so I did; though it wasn’t much.
“Yes, Neil?” I asked him, hoping he’d just say whatever he was wanting to say and move on.
The Neil guys face turned red, almost as if he were embarrassed and the other boys laughed. What was so funny?
“Uhm..my name’s Niall.” He murmured softly.
Oh, I feel so horrible. They probably thought I did that deliberately, I mean, if they’re as famous as Liam says they are then they probably just introduced themselves out of politeness and assumed that I already knew who they were.
“Oh my gosh! I am so sorry! I didn’t do that on purpose, I swear! Please forgive me, Niall!” I made sure I pronounced his name correctly as I gushed out my apology. I hope he forgave me, please don’t let him hurt me. I know I should have made sure I had his name right, but I really didn’t mean to do that.
Niall’s coloring seemed to go back to normal and he relaxed and a smile appeared on his face as he said, “It’s okay, Paige. I was just going to say that maybe you could tell us a little bit about you since you probably already know about us, but I’m starting to get the idea that..uhm..that you don’t know about us, either. So maybe we could all go into the living room and play a game to get to know each other better.” He seemed to talk faster and faster the more he talked.
It took me a moment to process that, but when I did I smiled in return and said, “I’d like that. What game?”
“TRUTH OR DARE!” Harry and Louis screamed at the same time.
I looked over at Liam and he just shrugged and said, “Okay, but don’t make it too outrageous. We don’t want to scare Paige off.”
I glared at him at that. Did Liam really think I needed protecting from a simple game of truth or dare?
“No! Don’t take it easy on me just because Liam said that, boys. Just ignore him, he thinks I’m a baby.” I huffed and walked into the living room where Zayn and Niall already were; leaving Harry, Louis and Liam to follow suit.
We all sat down in a circle on the floor and Louis screamed, “Me first!”
