Chapter Thirteen

"DON'T TOUCH ME! STOP IT!" I screamed, flailing my arms around to hit the attacker. He pushed me back down on the couch, and I screamed, his fingers coming down onto my sides.

"NIALL I SWEAR TO FREAKIN' GOODNESS IF YOU DON'T STOP IT-" I started to scream the words, but they were cut off with my laughter as he started to tickle me, sitting on my thighs to pin me down. I heard the laughter of a few of the guys from behind us, but I just screamed and laughed, wiggling around to get him off of me. He laughed from above me, and then I lost my breath. 

He stopped when I wasn't even making any noise, and I just flopped down, lifeless. "Are you okay?" He laughed, still sitting on me. I couldn't answer, so I just shook my head, trying to catch my breath. We'd been sitting on the couch, me helping him with his topic in his film class, when I made a comment about his physique. So then he pinned me down and started tickling me, and here we are; a dead me and a laughing Niall. 

"I'll say it again, you guys are weirdos." Pete said, flopping down on one of the beanbag chairs. I lifted my middle finger, but he wasn't that fazed by it. "It's not my fault she couldn't keep her mean comment to herself." Niall said, and I just shoved at his chest to get him off, but he wouldn't budge, still sitting on me. "You have a big enough ego, me saying you're wiry shouldn't exactly crush your dreams." I said, and he stuck out his bottom lip in a legitimate pout.

"I am muscular, admit it." He said, lifting up his arms to flex them. He was wearing a tight white t-shirt, so I could clearly see all of his muscles, I just wanted to string him along. "Can you please get off of me? You are very heavy." I complained, and he tightened his legs around me. "Is this a role play thing, because you just have to ask to play the girl." I winked, and all the boys laughed as he blushed. "Kinky fucker, no. But I know this way you can't leave." He said, wiggling his fingers, which caused me to squeal before he started tickling me again.

I'd had enough, and it was starting to be unbearable, so I knew I had to take it to the extreme. All I thought was 'get him off of me', so I thrashed around until Niall toppled sideways off the couch, and I went with him. The guys that were playing cheered when I landed on top of him, pinning him down. The breath wooshed out of him, and he stared up at me, wide-eyed. "How about you? Are you ticklish?" I asked, and he immediately started shaking his head 'no', but both Zayn and Harry said 'yes'. I smiled down at him, and he started to protest, and screamed in laughter when I started to run my fingers up his sides.

The boys were laughing, and Niall was shouting and screaming and rolling around, in the midst of laughing involuntarily. "That's what you get for tickling me, you asshole." I said, continuing my assault until he was red and looked like he couldn't breathe. I withdrew my hands, and he started panting, trying get air. "Okay, are we good?" He asked eventually, and I nodded at him. "Donezo." I said, climbing off him and back on the couch.

A couple hours later I made my way back over to the house, ignoring their protests because they wanted me to party with them, and it was supposed to be low-key drinking and everything, but I had to get some sleep. The sorority was taking a trip to the LA zoo, and I was weirdly excited even though I'd been before. I just love the zoo.

I wasn't sure if the Frat was coming, and I found myself strangely wanting them to. They were actually my best friends at college, even though they're ridiculous and rude and stupid sometimes, but they were pretty funny and they accepted me. Niall...he was confusing. But he was my best friend. Strictly platonic, right?

"Okay, so we'll all meet back here for lunch, everyone go with your groups. Now, the boys will probably show up to crash our party because someone--I'm not naming names--spilled our secret trip here." Nathalie said, and stared hard at one of the dark haired girls I know fooled around with Mikey for a bit. I just tried to keep my smirk away, pushing my sunglasses up on my nose.
