It was pitch black outside once we finally arrived at outside the house where the party was. The four of us snook out of Caleb's car and waited for Elise who was putting her lipstick on in the backseat. As we were standing there, I heard a couple familiar voices coming from around the facade of the house. Apparently, I was the only one paying attention to their conversation, and I soon realised it was Parker-Cockshit-Emerson and Liam-Puppy-Payne.

"You care way too much about his sex life. You're so fucking jealous and it's pathetic." Payne scoffed.

"I'm not fucking jealous," Emerson seemingly spat. "I get around too."

Yeah, shockingly.

"He doesn't even sleep around anymore."

"What do you mean? He's skipping classes all the time!"

"Yeah, he told me he has been hooking up with the same person for weeks," Liam said. I heard Parker gasp in shock. "Apparently that person is so good that he doesn't even contemplate being with anyone else. He said he was stuck."

It was clear that they were talking about Harry, and listening to Liam's words had almost made me lose my breath. Harry had stopped sleeping around because of me? What kind of bullshit was that? The supposedly biggest fuckboy in the entire city of London had given up his role for my arse? Could that actually be true?

"That's unheard of! Do you know who it is? Is it that chick Samantha?"

Liam scoffed. "I'm pretty sure it's a dude."

Elise finally exited the car with red lips, wearing the stunning dress Niall and I had picked out for her the week before. Her hair was curled—thanks to Adeline—and she had high heels on her tiny feet that made her lose the significance of being "the shorter one". I watched Niall observe her as she approached us and it seemed that his eyes would not stop glimmering. He was so whipped.

We went inside, got our drinks and started having a laugh while dancing around in the enormous living room. I was chugging down a can of beer when I noticed Niall interacting with Elise and making her burst into laughter while doing a silly dance as the song Pony by Ginuwine blasted through the speakers in the ceiling. Due to the loud volume I could not quite make out what they were saying, but it seemed they were both having a good time.

Twenty minutes in, Caleb and I started drinking shots at a table with a few people I had never seen before, and after a while my friend was starting to get really drunk. All of a sudden he was extremely cheery and goofy and begged me to come up and dance again. Soon enough he was yelling the lyrics to What Is Love by Haddaway and seemingly having the time of his life. Once we found our way back to the rest of our friends I spotted Zayn at the end of the room, smoking what I assumed was a joint. Liam was once again trying to get his attention, but he didn't seem to care.
