The Neighbors

Chapter 20

All week Noah insisted in driving to and from school. He's driving us home now. I've been riding with them to school, they let me drink my orange juice in their car and I enjoy their company more than I enjoyed Zayn's. sometimes I miss Janice, but Noah would want to be with me and and he would want to drive her. I don't want anybody other than me to drive my baby.

Noah drives us home and I run across the street to get my swimsuit. I put my blue bikini on under a t shirt and meet the boys at their house.

"You ready?" I ask the boys who are all three sitting on the couch.

"We want to watch a bit of tv first," Logan says and I roll my eyes.

"I guess we can watch some tv," I say and squish into a spot between Noah and Harry. The show 'Sex and the City' is on.

"Why are you watching this?" I ask.

"We like it," Logan says casually.

"You are three straight, teenage boys, and you like Sex and the City?" I ask again.

"Yeah, tonight is a new episode," Noah says and I give him a funny look.

"I need to find out what happens when Carrie found Miranda with her necklace," he says and I roll my eyes. The guy who I'm dating keeps up with 'Sex and the City' and he knows all of their names. How manly of him.

"And all three of you watch this?" I ask.

"Every Friday, whenever we have the chance," Harry says and I sigh.

This show can be funny sometimes. We watch for a little while and I adjust myself to be leaning against Harry and I have my feet over Noah.

"Why aren't you leaning on me?" Noah asks.

"Because, you're my foot rest," I explain and he shakes his head before watching the show again. The credits finally come up and I jump off of the couch.

"Are you ready to leave now?" I ask and Noah and Harry both turn to Logan who is currently texting.

"Are we ready, Logan?" Noah asks.

"I uh," he looks up from his phone, "yeah, I think we are ready," he says and stuffs it into his pocket.

"Are you sure?" Harry asks. Why are thy so weird. I hang out with a bunch of weirdos.

"Yeah, I'm sure," he says and stands up.

We all stuff into his car and Harry drives. Since we will be drinking, Noah decided to sit this one out.

As we drive down the gravel road I notice a vehicle.

"I hope that we don't get caught swimming in the lake," I say and Logan just let's out one laugh and they keep driving. There are vehicles everywhere now.

"I think somebody is throwing a party," I say and Harry pulls into a spot between two cars.

"Yeah, somebody is," Noah says and smirks.

"I don't want to interrupt them," I say.

"You won't, c'mon," he says and opens the door. We all get out of the car and I hesitate to walk. Noah wraps an arm around my shoulders and we keep walking. We walk past some cars and see a huge crowd of people standing in front of the lake.

"SURPRISE!" they all shout, making me jump.

"Holy shit! This is for me?" I ask. I get a chorus of 'yeah's before the crowd breaks apart. Some of the crowd jumps in the lake. Some sit in the grass. Some sit on their cars. I can hear country music playing loudly from somebody's truck. Like I already mentioned, I live in a small town and we have quite a few rednecks.

"You guys did this?" I ask the triplets who are standing with me.

"It was Noah's idea to swim, but it was Logan's for the surprise party," Harry explains and I hug Noah and then Logan.

"How did you know who to invite?" I asked.

"I asked Jane and Louis to help out," Noah says and I nod.

"Hey Shea!" Niall says as he jogs up to us. He's wearing wet green swim trunks and his hair is dripping down his chest. He looks great.

"Hey Niall," I smile and he hugs me. His wet body made my clothes damp.

"Liam told me about your party, and of course I had to come," he says and points to Liam whom of which is talking to two girls near the water.

"You're friends with Liam?" I ask.

"Yeah, we're bet buds," he says and I nod. I didn't know that.

"You gonna get in?" He asks. The weather has been exceptionally nice lately.

"Yeah, let's go!" I say and throw my shirt to the ground. I notice his eyes trail over my body quickly and ignore it. Boys will be boys.

I run into the water with my friends and swim happily. I'm not sure where Harry went, but I don't care. It's my party and I'm having fun.

(( sorry this took me a little bit. I had to pack my things to fly back home and I was busy with a lot of things. Comment your name if you want me to put you in the next chapter.))
