Ashley's POV

I wake up and at first I'm confused about my surroundings until I remember I'm in London, living with Niall. I smile as I look around my room. I can't wait to unpack, then I'll really feel at home. I pick up my phone to check the time. 12:16! I wish Niall would have woken me earlier but I was really tired. I pull myself out of the bed and slip my feet into a pair of slippers. I probably look like a zombie, my hair is in a messy bun on the top of my head, I'm wearing cupcake pyjamas and a pair of reindeer slippers. Yes reindeer slippers even though it's nowhere near Christmas, they're comfy. I don't really care what I look like though, I'll try to make myself more presentable later. For now I just want some breakfast and the smell of bacon and eggs is making my stomach rumble.

When I reach the bottom of the staircase I'm greeted by three girls. One with blonde hair jumps forward and begins to introduce herself.

"Hi I'm Perrie, Zayns fiancé, sorry we didn't get to meet you last night we fell asleep" I already like this girl.

"Hey, its nice to finally meet you and don't worry about last night I went to bed straight away any way, I was exhausted" I laugh with them. A girl with long brown hair like mine speaks up,

"I'm Eleanor, Louis' girlfriend and this is Sophia, Liam's girlfriend" she says pointing to the last girl who stands beside them.

"Niall's told us so much about you Ashley" Sophia says sweetly.

"All good things I hope" I smirk as Niall walks up to us.

"Of course!" He says dramatically. We laugh, I really like the girls, I think we are going to get along just fine. They walk away as Niall takes me through to the kitchen where Harry is burning some bacon.

"Need a hand there" I laugh as Harry attempts to flip the bacon.

"Like you could do any better" he says rolling his eyes at me. I decided to take Liam's advice so I'm pretending I'm already best friends with everyone. It actually works, I thought it would be quite awkward for a while but it isn't.

"Move over" I shove him gently away from the cooker. I empty the burned bacon into the bin while Harry pouts like a child. I take some bacon out and cook it to perfection.

"Is that an apology I hear Harry?" I say playfully,

"I haven't tasted it yet" Harry smiles taking the plate from my hand. He eats it then stares straight at me not giving anything away.

"Well, how amazing was it?" I joke and stare at him.

"It was good but I still think mine would have been better" he says his eyes full of amusement. Niall speaks up from next to Harry his mouth full with food,

"I think Harry's right, burned bacon is always better" He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. I shake my head as they high five and then walk into the living area to eat my food in peace.

I take a seat next to Sophia and talk to her and the girls for a while to get to know them. Eleanor was shy at first but now she's a little ball of energy and quite random at times, Sophia is really sweet and makes me feel really welcome in the house, Perrie is really wacky and crazy and lots of fun. I'm glad they will be around the house too, I don't think I would last long without some girly chat. Niall's no help, if I ask him what tops better he just shrugs and says they look the same. I sit with the girls for another ten minutes before deciding to get changed out of my pyjamas. Everyone else is already changed and I feel awkward. I change into a pair of skinny jeans and a fluffy jumper. I feel like being comfy today since I'll only be unpacking. I quickly shove my hair into a messy bun and check my appearance before walking downstairs to get my cases.

The rest of my day is spent unpacking and putting up some more pictures and quotes onto my wall. It's now 8:00pm and I'm planted on the couch watching a movie with everyone. I'm not really sure what movie it is because I've not been paying attention. I've been thinking about my new school and wondering what it will be like. I'm actually starting to fall asleep until Louis jumps up and turns of the TV.

"Louis why did you do that?" Eleanor complains.

"Because the movie is finished and I have decided we are all going to play a game" Louis says with a smirk. I don't think I'm going to like this game.

"Truth or Dare?" Louis says smiling directly at me kinda creepily. We all adjust ourselves into a sitting position and get comfortable. Niall sits beside me and twirls my hair around his finger. He always does that, it's become a habit I think.

"Okay, I'll go first" Louis says clapping his hands together and snapping me out if my thoughts.

"Ashley, Truth or Dare?" I don't really want to play because I still feel a bit awkward around everyone. I'm not doing a dare just yet.

"Truth" I say loudly so everyone can hear.

"Wimp" Harry shouts smiling. I playfully push his arm.

"Hmmm let me think" Louis says stroking his chin.

"Who is your favourite member of One direction?" He smirks. All of their heads snap towards me, waiting for my answer.

"I'm not sure" I say pretending to be in thought.

"It better be me" Niall says looking at me through narrowed eyes.

"I'm gonna say Niall" I reply earning complaints from the other boys about how Niall threatened me into it. Niall is in a fit of laughter and it takes him a minute to calm down. Now it's Zayn's turn.

"Harry, Truth or Dare?" He says calmly looking directly at him.

"Dare" Harry says without breaking his gaze.

"I dare you to let Louis mess your hair and then leave it like that for the rest of the game" Zayn announces. Louis is already on his way to the girls rooms to get some hair stuff. Ten minutes later Harry's hair is gelled straight back apart from his fringe which is in a bobble at the front of his head making him look like a unicorn. Louis also took a photo and put it on twitter, as soon as Harry finds out Louis will be a dead man.

Many, many dares later it's my third turn. I'm actually really enjoying it and I'm a lot more comfortable around everyone, it's like I'm part of their little family.

"Truth or Dare?" Zayn asks me.

"Dare" I respond. I'm feeling more confident the more we play but the look in Zayn's eyes tells me this one is gonna be hard.

"I Dare you to eat a full tablespoon of Hot sauce" He says boldly. Oh crap. I hate hot sauce, how did he know? By the smirk on Niall's face I'd say he might have hinted it. Damn Horan.

"Easy" I lie and pretend I don't mind. Eleanor rushes through to the kitchen and returns with a tablespoon of hot sauce in her hand. I take the spoon and as quickly as possible shove it in my mouth and down my throat. I start to feel a burning sensation on my tongue and dash to the kitchen in search of water. I can hear everyone laughing from next door but Niall's is by far the loudest. I grab some water from the fridge and messily unscrew the cap, throwing it onto the table. I finish the water rather quickly and grab another making my way back into the room. They're all still in fits of laughter as I take a seat.

"Just you wait, I'll get you back Zayn" I state and watch as he pretends to look worried. It's incredible just a few days ago I was scared I would be left out or ignored. I should've listened to Niall when he said they weren't like that. After all Niall's always right.
