Once we were done are breakfast. We were still sitting at the table talking. Then the realization hit me. I forgot to ask Liam something.

"Oh yea, Liam were you in my room in the middle of the night?" I asked him out of nowhere. It was quiet. Liam looked confused.

"Umm...No?" Liam said squinting his eyes. "If I was in your room in the middle of the night then I already would know that you had batman shorts on." He has a point. So Liam's crossed off. So now it's down to Niall, Louis, Harry, or Zayn.

"You can go-" They all stood up making the chairs screech on the floor. "-Only Liam can go," I said stopping all of them except Liam. They sat down slowly but in an awkward way.

"Soo...down to four suspects." I reached over the table and got in Niall's face. "Sooo...Niall. Tell me.... why were you the first one awake out of all of the boys?"

"Because I was hungry." He looked into my eyes. "Why were you knocking on my door then. Hmm?" I crossed my arms.

"Because I was asking where Zayn was and I wanted you to make breakfast. But I couldn't finish."

'Oh,' I mumbled. I uncrossed my arms. "I guess you can go." Niall is crossed off my list. So now it's down to Louis, Harry, and Zayn. Since Louis was sitting next to Niall's chair that means Louis is next. I slid over the table to where Louis was sitting at.

"So...Louis. I can see that you were grouchy this morning. You would be grouchy if you didn't get enough sleep. So tell me, Louis. Were you in my room in the middle of the night?" I tilted my head to the left.

"No?"

"Explain," I said crossing my arms.

"Umm...Well...I was 'grouchy' because I heard a lot of noises coming from downstairs so I got up and went downstairs." Louis explained.

"Ok then. Imma let you off on this one. No move along." I shooed him out of the dining room. He got up quickly and went out to the living room.

I walked around the table. "Down to two suspects." I slapped both my hands down on the table making both Harry and Zayn flinch. "Tell me...Harry. How did you know I had batman shorts on?" I got up to Harry's face.

"I...um...-" He cleared his throat. "-I heard Liam complimenting your shorts. And you know that Liam's favorite superhero is batman. So I said 'Of course you like Layla's shorts. they have batman all over them.'" His face was almost blank but he looked like he was telling the truth. I squinted my eyes. I tried looking into his eyes to see if he was lying.

"You're just plain old lucky," I whispered to him. I got out his face. "Now go. Shoo shoo." I watched Harry get up and go into the living room. Once I saw Harry sit on the couch he looked in my direction. When he got caught he immediately looked in a different direction.

I slowly turned my head towards Zayn. He looked down. I smiled evilly. I walked around the table. "Zayn, Zayn, Zaynie, Zayn." I stopped and picked up a chair and put it right next to him, even though his chair was facing the table. I sat down.

"Soo...Zayn. Why were you so quiet today. Suspiciously quiet. " I sat back. He was distracted from the table. "Zayn, my eyes are not on the table." He looked up into my eyes. "Now,-" I crossed my arms.

"-Explain."

"Well, you see. I was quiet because there was nothing to talk about." He cringed a smile. "Then why were you talking a whole lot when we got bored!?"

"Because I was bored!" He shouted back.

"Explain why you were talking a lot when you were bored."

"Because I thought you wanted to get to know us so I decided to talk a lot so that you got to know what I was like just like what Harry and Louis did." He explained so now that I kinda believe him, I'm going to have to let him off.

"I will let you off on this one." I watched him get up normally and went out of the dining room. But he didn't go in the living room, he went upstairs, probably to his room.

There has to be one suspect. They're the only ones in the house when I was sleep. So who was in my bed? I thought to myself. Why didn't I see who was in my bed in the first place? I'm so stupid.

~ UNKNOWN P.O.V~

I'll admit it. I was the one that was in her room. I don't know what was in my mind. I just was kinda...jealous. The only thing I did in there was only and only stroke her hair and watched her sleep. Yea, yea I know I'm a creepy stalker but she was so... beautiful. Then I immediately went out of the room after like an hour. And I'm very sure that I went straight to my room without any noises made to wake up anybody. Ha, I'm good at sneaking around.

But how did she know someone was in her room. I mean, I didn't see her open her eyes or anything. I guess I didn't see her move or anything. But I'm so lucky that she didn't bother to see who was in her bed. I would have been possibly dead by now.

I sure am good at lying right in her face. It's is meant to lie, but I had to for my own safe being of secretly stalking her. Yea I said it. I kinda stalk her.

~ Layla's P.O.V ~

I was in my room on my laptop figuring out how I could buy video recording cameras for the whole house. I was hopefully getting five cameras. One for the hallway. It was going to get placed at the end of the hallway so that it can view the whole hallway. One for the kitchen. Since the kitchen and dining room are connected with each other, that means the camera can view from an angle that can view both the kitchen and dining room at the same time. One for the living room. It will be placed all the way above the t.v so that it could view the whole living room. One for the basement. It will be placed somewhere near the stairs. Then the last one was going to be placed in my room. The perfect place was on my bookshelf. Nobody would notice it. Psst, I probably won't even notice it.

But first I have to buy the set and they can't find out about the cameras. I hovered my finger over the mouse deciding whether or not I should ship the cameras here at my house. I already put the information that I need in order to get the cameras. Without thinking I clicked the mouse.

'Your order is successfully shipped to your destination.' The laptop said in green. Ok, now I have to wait. I'm supposed to get the cameras on Wednesday. Today's Sunday. And tomorrow is freakin Monday. School. I still haven't told them about the school thing. I hopefully will have to tell them or they're going to get confused and lost. I should have told them yesterday but me being the dumb one didn't. I closed my laptop and lazily walked out of the room. I went downstairs. I slumped down on the couch. They were all looking at me. I didn't bother saying anything. I slide down the couch and stayed like that.

"Why are you sitting like that?" Niall asked with a chuckle at the end. "I don't know. I'm just too lazy to sit properly." I sighed loudly. Nobody didn't say anything. I sighed even louder. I was trying to get their attention. "Seems like you want something," Liam said. "I don't want anything I have to tell you guys something." I sat up.

"What is it that you want to tell us," Zayn said.

"Well you see I have to go to school-"

"We'll go with you," Harry said out of nowhere.

"You didn't even know what else I was going to say."

"Well, you see Luke already told us that you were going back to school tomorrow. So yea, we'll go." Harry said. I was surprised. I thought it wouldn't be that easy. "Wait Luke already told you guys and you didn't tell me?"

"Yea" Louis shrugged.

Since I got that off the hook, looks like they're going to the same school as me.

"But what if you guys get mobbed." I worriedly asked.

"We'll just act normal. That's all." Louis shrugged his shoulders. He was busy typing away on his phone.

"Alright. Better luck for tomorrow." I hope we keep the luck.
