Angel's P.O.V:

The time flew by. It was christmas before I knew it. Things were back to normal between me and Liam. We didn't talk about our almost kiss a few months ago. Brad and Louis had tried to get us to sneak out with them agian. Liam had joined them a few times, I didn't. I was too afraid. We almost got caught last time. But we didn't. Mark had almost seen us. Luckily Louis were a pro at lying and we got out. I loved christmas. Louis loved it even more. Mostly because of his birthday. Mum, Mark, Lottie, Fizzy and the twins always left for Mark's mother's house the period between boxing day and New Years Eve. I was usally at my dad's unless I spent Christmas here. Louis was always home alone. I was going to stay with Louis this year. It was not like Mark's mum didn't want us to be there with them, it was more me and Louis. We didn't feel like she was our grandmother, she was just Mark's mother.

"I'm throwing the best party for my birthday!" Louis said as we drove to school. "And both of you nerds can come." Louis said. I laguhed. "I would love to, but I rather not spend the evning with drunk teenagers. I'm locking my bedroom and staying with Nikki for the night." I said. "Boring!" Brad said. I ignored him. "I'll come." Liam said. I looked over at him. "Really?" I said. Liam laughed. "Yeah, but I'm not drinking. One of us should stay with them to make sure the house won't fall down." Liam said. "You don't trust us?" Brad asked. I laughed. "We would never trust you two to watch the house." I said. Brad looked at me as he put a hand on his chest. "I'm offended. Deeply offended." Brad said. I just rolled my eyes. "Hey Brad." I said after a while. "Yeah?" He said. "What do you wan for Christmas?" I asked. "Nothing, really." Brad said. "Come on, you want something." I said. Brad laughed. "Not really. I don't like Christmas. It's a stupid holiday. It's so overrated. Everybody says it's about giving. Fuck that. It's not. That' s bullshit." Brad said. "Why are you agianst everything?" Liam asked. "I'm not." Brad protested. "You are, you are just agianst birthdays, marriage, Christmas. Everything. Why?" Liam asked. "Look, I'm not agianst it.I just think it's stupid. That's all." Brad said. Liam rolled his eyes. "Hey, Liam?" I asked. "Yeah?" Liamsaid and looked at me. "Want to go Christmas shopping togheter?" I asked. "Sure." Liam said and gave me a smile. Louis stopped the car. "Meet you guys at lunch." I said and stepped out of the car. 

Nicole was wating for me outside my locker. "I would not open it, if I were you. Jessica had something big planned." She said. I sighed and opned the door. Whipped cream fell out. All my books were covered. I could hear laugther behind me. "Liked my prank?" Jessica asked. I faked a smile. "Yes, very funny. And so orignal." I said and closed my locker. Jessica looked at me in suprise. "You're not mad?" She asked. "I've seen worse." I told her and walked into the classroom.

"She did what?!" Louis asked. "It's no big deal." I said. "Yes it is. She is going to regret this." Louis said asBrad sat down. "Who?" He asked. Louis quickly told Brad what had happened. "That bitch! We'll learn her a lesson or two about messing with our girl." Brad sai with his voice full of anger. "Look guys, it's not a big deal. Honestly." I said giving them a smile. "Fuck it. We're getting her back and you can't stop us!" Louis sad as Hannah came over. "Who are you mad at this week?" She asked him as she sat down on his lap. "Jessica Adams. She pulled a prank on Angel." Louis said. "And now you're going to pull a prank on her?" Hannah asked. "Yeah. Just have to figure something out." Louis said. He and Hannah soon started to make out. "Do they always have to do that?" I asked. Brad laughed. "It was worse last year. You'll get used to it soon." He told me. "It's still disgusting. I'm his little sister. I don't need to see him eat Hannah's face off." I said. Brad laughed. "And I'm his best friend. I've seen worse." He told me. "I don't even want to know that!" I said. "Yeah, me neither." Liam said. Brad just laughed. "Trust me, I wish I hadn't." Brad said. "Hey, I heard that." Louis said. Brad just rolled his eyes. I looked over at Liam. I still thought about our almost kiss. I wish he had kissed me. I was really mad at Louis for that. He and Brad had to come over drunk. Those idiots.
