Head Over Longboard

Chapter 2

I wake up and Liam's asleep next to me. Ughh. That was an uncomfortable place to sleep. Oh crap. It's ten. They'll be here in an hour.

But man I didn't get enough sleep last night.

"Liaaammmm", I whispered. No response. "Liam", nothing. "Liam get up you lazy bum." "I'm up, I'm up.", he replies. "My friends are gonna be here in an hour. Wanna help load my stuff into their car like an amazing brother?", I say with the biggest puppy dog eyes I could make. "Fine.", he replies. We move all the boxes out front. Then I decide to walk around my grandparents flat to see if I missed anything. I'm going to miss living with my grandparents but I'm an adult now. I need to have a place to call home. Liam moved out a year ago. He actually lives close to the flat were renting.

Carley and Victoria pull into the driveway and I bring a box out meeting themwith a grin, followed by Liam carrying another box. I sense that they can tell I didn't get much sleep. Then I see Victoria check out my brother. Eww. Gross. I'll get her for that later. I mean she's got a boyfriend. How will Louis react to this? "How late we're you up?" Carley asks questioningly. "Oh...umm...like four..." I say quietly. "Wow" they say in unison. Liam laughs because he know we were up later than that. We finish loading my stuff and I say goodbye to my grandparents and we leave. Liam was kind enough to bring some of my stuff in his car too. I love my big brother.

We drive the thirty minutes to our new flat. I'm so excited. We talk about our plans, and how we need to throw a party. We pull up and begin unloading. "Geez, Riley. How much stuff do you have?", Liam jokes.

I finally lug my last box up the stairs and into my bedroom. All three bedrooms were the same size so there wasn't any arguing. My rooms is a terrifyingly, ugly shade of brown. I have to change that immediately. I walk back down the stairs to find Liam, Carley, Harry, Victoria and Louis. Harry is Carley's boyfriend and Louis is Victoria's.

"Hey guys. What's up?" I ask curiously. "They were just helping us move some stuff." Victoria says with a huge grin. They've done something, I can see it in their faces. Then a drop dead gorgeous boy walks into our house. I'm not sure if my mouth is open, but I know I don't look attractive. I'm wearing an old Viking Softball team t-shirt from middle school and some gym shorts. Yes, I can still wear clothes from middle school. I yank Victoria and Carley into our kitchen.

"What the hell did y'all do?" I say quietly. "Well we know you haven't gone out with anyone since your breakup with Jake. So we wanted to set you up!" Victoria says giddily. "But I look like crap, and our flat is a wreck, we just moved in today and I have no clue where my good makeup even is!" I say with panic.

"Don't you remember what happened the last you set me up with someone?!? He stalked me. I had to change my phone number!" I exclaim with frustration. "But look at him! He's totally gorgeous! I mean if I wasn't dating Harry I'd try to date him!" Carley says in a hushed tone so Harry wouldn't hear her. I look at him through the kitchen and I feel my self getting nervous.

It's okay Riley, it's just a boy. A freaking gorgeous boy. Oh my gosh I'm going to embarrass myself. "Riley, don't get nervous. Come on!" Victoria pulls me back into our living room. "H-h-hi!" I stutter. "Hi. My names Niall." He says this with the most amazing voice I've ever heard. I think its an irish accent. Oh my gosh. I'm feeling a little dizzy. Things are going fuzzy. Uh-oh.... *Thump*
