How it All Started (A One Direction fanfiction)

Chapter 11

The rest of the day was spent playing games and just goofing off. Niall and I didn't really talk because of what happened during football, it was just kind of awkward. Even though we didn't talk too much, we were still flirting a lot. We were always smiling and getting caught staring at each other, even though that's really weird. It's just nice knowing that Niall feels the same way I feel about him.

Since we just finished playing games a couple minutes ago, it's already about sunset. We decided that we would have a bonfire tonight to make hot hogs and s'mores for dessert.

"So, you and Niall huh?" El wiggled her eyebrows as she pulled a sweatshirt over her head, considering its starting to get cold outside.

"Um... What about us?" I ask innocently, because honestly, I don't know how to answer her question.

"You're both totally into each other and you look ADORABLE together. Are you gonna go out?"

I think we are, but I don't wanna tell her yes if we don't. I hope the answers yes...

"I don't know, maybe. We still have to talk about it I guess. I mean if he asked me out I would without a doubt say yes." I told her honestly.

"You two are gonna be great together, I can tell already. And we can go on group dates like you and Niall, me and Louis, and Zayn and Perrie!!" She said gleefully.

I haven't met Perrie yet... I wonder what she's like.

"She'll love you stop worrying about it." She snapped immediately.

"Can you like read minds or something?" I giggled.

"Yes. Now put a sweatshirt on and let's go have a bonfire!!" She exclaimed.

I grabbed my sweatshirt and pulled it over my head. I quickly brushed through my hair and was finally ready to head outside.

As we step out of the tent, I see all of the boys sitting by an already lit fire.

"How did you make this fire so fast?" I ask as we take our seats by the fire. Of course, Eleanor runs off to go sit with Louis so again, I'm next to Niall. And Harry.

"Do you doubt our skills?" Louis asks as he wraps his arm around Eleanor's waist.

"What skills?" I reply.

"Oh just shut up." Louis says without a care in the world.

"You know you love me." I say as I bat my eyelashes at him.

"I do." Louis mumbles, knowing he lost this very short battle.

"Ooooooo Louis lovesssssss Brookeeee." Liam exclaimed as a round of "oooooooos" erupted from the other boys, except Louis of course.

"She's my best friend, of course I do what do you expect I've known her my whole life. I love her as a FRIEND." Louis snapped back at their reaction. Awe, Louis loves me.

"Yeah, same." I add agreeing with Louis. I love him with all my heart and he means so much to me, but I could never date him or anything like that. It would just feel too weird and honestly I think it would ruin our friendship.

"Soooooo." Niall says, trying to move the conversation along. It's probably awkward for him sitting here listening to the person you like telling someone else they love them... But he knows Louis and I are best friends. It's still weird though.

I help him in changing the subject, "Are we gonna eat now, or what?"

This caused lots of cheers so we grabbed the hotdogs on the picnic tables and put them on the sticks we found earlier. I showed them how you put the sticks in the fire for a while first to kill germs and stuff.
