Teach Me

Chapter 7 - Songwriting

The girls went soon after we got home last night so I didn't get the time to ask Lauren if something was wrong. I guess I'll just ask Harry for her number or something, and meet up with her one day.

Harry found out about me deleting the picture, but surprisingly he didn't seem angry at me. He also claimed that he had saved the photo another place, but I don't think that's true... I hope not. I went to bed at around 10 PM, and it didn't take long before I fell asleep.

I was the first one to wake up today, so when I finished getting ready I went down to get some food. It didn't take me long to get ready, it never does. The kitchen was just as quiet as the rest of the house; I don't think it has ever been this quiet in the house, at least during the time I've been here.

I glance at the clock that says: 08.00, so I decide I have the time to make pancakes for the boys; because I just feel like being that nice today. I walk over to the fridge and get the milk, butter and eggs and then I put them on the counter as I walk over to a the cupboard where they keep sugar, flour, salt and get those things.

Now that I've got all the ingredients I just need a bowl and a whisk to make the batter. When I've done that I find a frying pan and set it on the stove. I put on the heat and go to get the bowl with the batter and a dipper.

I put the first pancake onto a plate and then pour some batter into the pan starting on the second. I take my phone out of my pocket and unlock it, but I've still got an eye on the frying pan.

"It smells good here." I hear a voice saying, turn towards it and see Harry walking into the kitchen. "Oh, hi Ella." He says as soon as he notices me. "What are you making?"

"I am making pancakes." I say as I smile and put the phone back into the pocket as I turn the pancake. "I've already made one if you're hungry." I tell him and turn towards him leaning on the counter.

"I'm fine, I'll just wait." He answers with a smile as he sits down on a chair with his phone in his hand.

"Oh, Harry do you have Lauren's number?" I ask as I turn back to the frying pan and put the finished pancake on the plate before I start on a new one and turn back again.

"Yeah, of course."

"Do you think I could get it?" I ask as I get my phone up, not really expecting a no.

"Yeah, any special reason?"

"Oh, I just want to have my friend's number." I answer as I shrug. "And I also need to talk to her." I add as Zayn walks into the kitchen looking towards the stove and the frying pan.

"Are you making pancakes?" He asks as he moves his gaze to me.

"No, I'm making unicorns." I answer, obviously sarcastically as I laugh a little at myself, which only earn me a weird look from Harry and Zayn so I turn around. "Okay, I'm not funny." I say awkwardly as I continue making pancakes.

"If you want the number, I've got it here." Harry says and I walk up to him when I've poured some batter onto the frying pan. I take up my phone, go to my contacts and add a new one. I write her first name and surname which Harry gives me before I type in the number which I also get from him.

"Thank you." I smile to him, make my way back to the stove and turn the pancake around just in time for it to not get burnt.

"We're leaving at ten aren't we?" I ask as I pull out my phone to check the clock. It's 09.13 and I finished eating a little while ago. Liam, Louis and Niall came down at around eight fifty and seemed happy when they sensed the smell and sight of my pancakes. The batter lasted to 21 pancakes, and there are now 3 left.
