Just Like You and I (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 5

(Sammy's POV:)
"Hey!" I said, after Niall shoved me out of the way and scored. Everyone else had stopped playing a while ago, but Niall and I had decided to still play.
"Haha! Another goal for Horan! And the crowd goes wild!" He said, running a victory lap around the field. When he passed by me, I whacked his arm.
"Show off!" I said, crossing my arms. He ran back over to me with a crazy grin on his face.
"Come on." He said. I turned away from him keeping my arms crossed. Suddenly, I was lifted off of my feet and carried across the field.
"Hey! Put me down!" I said, laughing. He did as I said, and we walked over to the others.
"Hello love birds." Kelsey said, smiling and batting her eyelashes.
"Shut up!" I said, flopping down next to Eleanor.
"It's sorta true." El agreed, laughing. I pretended to be offended and scooted over by Harry.
"You are now my only friend." I told him. He laughed.
"Whatever you say." He said, smirking.
"What about me?" Niall asked.
"Fine. You too." I said, patting the spot next to me.
"And me?" Zayn said. I nodded and he scooted over next to Harry.
"Hey!" Liam said.
"You too Liam." I said, as he sat down by Niall.
"And MEEE!" Louis said, jumping on top of us all.
"Louis!"
"Ouch Lou!"
"Get off!"
"You're on my arm!"
Louis just laughed like a madman while the rest of us suffered. Eleanor and Kelsey, meanwhile, we're having the time of their lives watching us.
"Need some help?" El asked. We all nodded. "Tickle him." Harry was the first one to tickle Louis, and eventually we all were. We got him off of us, and he laid down on the ground, panting.
"Jeez you guys." He said, out of breath.
"You deserved it." I said, shrugging. Louis pouted and sat over by Eleanor.
"It's getting later. It's almost time for dinner." Zayn said, checking the time. It was 4:30, and I wasn't even hungry.
"Ooh! Let's go to the Italian place down the road! Or the steakhouse! Or..." Niall said, going on and on.
"We could just go to the movie theatre and have junk food for dinner and watch a movie." Kelsey suggested. I knew she just wanted to see the new Taylor Lautner movie, and that's why she suggested a movie dinner.
"Yeah!"
"Sounds great!"
"Sure!"
"Okay."
"Let's do that!"
Everyone agreed, so we headed off to the movie theatre. Eleanor, Louis, and Kelsey all rode in El's car, while Harry, Liam, Niall, Zayn, and I rode in the SUV. It only took a few minutes, and we beat the others there. We ordered our food and saved seats for them in the theatre.
"Hey guys!" Kelsey said. She was shushed by a whole bunch of people, because the movie had just started. "Sorry!" She whisper-yelled.
The order we were sitting on from left to right, was: Liam, Kelsey, Niall, Me, Harry, Louis, Eleanor, Zayn.
The movie was good, and we all happily munched on our movie food. About half way through, I looked down and saw Niall's hand lying loosely on the arm of his chair. I thought he might want me to hold it, but I wasn't exactly sure. I rested mine on my chair arm also, but he didn't grab it. I'll take that as a no then...
I glanced over at Kelsey, and Liam was looking at her. I don't think she noticed, because her eyes were focused on the screen. It was a shirtless scene of Taylor, so that explains it. Liam smiled a little, and then returned his eyes to the screen. Oooh.... What's going on over there?
I returned my gaze to the screen, and watched the movie. I heard someone yawn and I looked over at Harry. He was pretending to yawn and stretch his arms, and he put one around my shoulders. I laughed at him, quietly, and rolled my eyes. He just smirked at me. I expected him to remove his arm, but he didn't. He left it there for the entire movie. Weird... Cheeky child.
The movie was good, and I think everyone enjoyed watching it. We filed out of the theatre and threw away our extra food.
"That was awesome!" Kelsey said, happily.
"I know!" I said.
"What time is it?" Eleanor asked, yawning.
"It's only 7:00." Liam told her.
"I'm exhausted. We should go home." El said.
"Awwww." We all said in unison. We all wanted to hang out for a while longer.
"Sorry guys." She said, apologetically.
"It's alright." I said. She led the way out to the car, and allowed us to jump inside. The boys trudged over to their SUV, and hung their heads. Wow, they must REALLY have nothing better to do than hang out with us.
I heard the engine of the car start, and then we were off. It only took a few minutes, and then we were back at the dorm.
"Bye girls." El said, waving to us.
"Bye!" I said.
"See ya!" Kelsey said. We watched as she drove away.
"She must be tired, because she has bags under her eyes." I said. "And she was yawning at 7:00."
"Yeah. It's weird. But whatever." Kelsey said. I followed her through the doors, onto the elevator, and up to our floor. I took the room key out of my pocket and unlocked the door.
"Well I'm going to go to my room." I told her. She nodded, and I entered my bedroom. I laid down on my bed and slipped my phone out of my pocket. I saw I had three new text notifications.
•Hey. It's Harry. (;•
•Hi Sammy! Eleanor gave me your number so I hope it's okay that I have it! Oh, and by the way, it's Niall. (: •
•Who are you?•
I read the three texts and quickly responded to them all.
•Hi Harry. (: •
•It's okay, Niall. (: •
•um... I'm Sammy. Who are you? •
I flipped on the TV and started watching Friends. I didn't realize that my eyes slowly began to droop. I fell asleep, and stayed that way until the next morning.
**********************
I woke up in the same clothes I had been wearing yesterday. The television was still on, and the light in my room was also on. I rubbed my eyes, and picked up my phone. I once again had three text notifications.
•Missing you already(; • from: Harrrrry
I rolled my eyes at that one.
•Mhm. Righttt.• To: Harrrrry
He's always so cheeky.
•how are you?(: • From: Nialler
•I'm good. And you?(: • To: Nialler
The next one was from an unknown number... Again.
•you don't need to know who I am. You only need to know this; stay. Away. From. The. Boys.•
That one creeped me out a bit. I didn't respond, and just set my phone on my night stand. I walked into the bathroom and showered quickly, drying my hair once I was done. I slipped on a pair of jean shorts and a cute, green hollister tank top.
"Hey!" Kelsey said, when she saw me. I didn't realize she was awake.
"Hey." I said. I sat down at the kitchen table next to her, and saw she was on her phone as well. "Who ya textin?" I asked, trying to peak over her shoulder.
"Liam." She said, blushing slightly. "And some random person. I don't know who they are."
"What are they saying?" I asked, already knowing the answer.
"Stay away from the boys blah blah blah." She said, rolling her eyes.
"I got those same texts too." I told her.
"That's really weird." Kelsey said. "Probably just some crazed fan or something."
"True, but how did they get our number?" I asked. She was quiet for a moment.
"I have no clue." She said, finally. We sat quietly, until I heard my cell phone ring. I got up and entered my bedroom, picking up my phone and answering it.
"Hello?" I said.
"Guess who." A voice said.
"Harry." I said, rolling my eyes.
"Yep! Good guess." He said, chuckling. "What are you girls up to?"
"Well... Nothing I guess." I said. I was contemplating telling the boys about the person who had texted us, but then I decided that I probably shouldn't. No need for them to worry about it, right?
"Great! Because we're at the front of your dorm and we'd appreciate being let in." He said. I laughed.
"Okay. I'll send Kelsey down there." I told him.
"Alright. See you soon." He said, and I could almost HEAR the smirk in his voice.
"Yeah whatever." I said, hanging up the phone. "Kelsey! The boys are downstairs and they need to be let in!" I shouted.
"Kay!" She shouted back. I heard the door open and then close, signaling to me that she left. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a pop tart out of the pantry. I popped it into the toaster and waited for it to pop back up. When it did, I put it on a napkin and quickly are it, throwing the napkin away when I was finished. Throughout this entire process, they still hadn't arrived. Hm...
"Boo!" Someone yelled from behind me. I spun around and kicked them where no man wants to be kicked. Incase you haven't noticed, it's sorta my reflex. The person fell to the floor in pain, and I laughed when I saw who it was.
"Harry?" I said, still laughing uncontrollably.
"Well hello to you too." He said, in a pained voice. The other boys and Kelsey came filing out of her bedroom, all laughing along with me.
"We snuck in while you were making your pop tart." Kelsey said. I nodded, and smiled.
"That's what you get for trying to scare me." I said, as Harry finally got off of the ground.
"Whatever." He said. "It was worth it. You should've seen your face!"
"And YOU should've seen YOUR face when I kicked you in your... junk." I said, smirking. The others fell into a fit of laughter again and Harry just stood there and crossed his arms.
"So what are we going to do today?" Kelsey asked after everyone had finally calmed down.
"We could go back to the park?" Louis suggested.
"Yeah, but we did that yesterday." Kelsey complained.
"We could... Go see a movie?" Liam said.
"We did that yesterday too." Kelsey whined.
"We could... Uh... Well I know ONE place." Niall said.
"Okay... What is it?" I asked.
"We could go play laser tag at this really cool arcade." Niall said.
"Well I guess that could be fun." Harry said. I nodded.
"Sure. Let's do that." I said, agreeing. Kelsey and I cleaned up quick and then followed the boys out to their SUV.
"We have to stop and pick up El on the way there!" Louis said in a sing-song voice. We all nodded and smiled. Everyone loved Eleanor.
When we got to her house, Kelsey, Louis and I decided to go inside to get her. I knocked once, and she opened the door. I expected to see her giant smile and her to be wearing some ADORABLE outfit, but she was in a bathrobe and she looked pretty pale.
"Hi guys." She said, almost in a whisper.
"Are you okay?" Kelsey asked her. El gave her a weak smile, and moved so we could all enter her apartment.
"Actually, I'm quite ill." She told us, truthfully.
"Aww." Louis said, putting one arm around her shoulders. He helped her over to a couch and sat beside her, rubbing her back.
"I think it's the flu." She said.
"Oh, I'm sorry." I said, sadly. I felt really bad for her because I know what it's like to have the flu. And let me tell ya, it's not pretty.
"I'll be fine. Let me guess, you guys came here to get me to come hang out with you." She said, smiling sadly at Louis. He nodded.
"But that's okay. I'll just stay and hang out with you." He said, smiling.
"You don't have to-"
"I WANT to." He interrupted. "Besides, you need someone to take care of you today." She looked at him questioningly, but eventually nodded.
"Well alright." She said.
"Have fun guys! Crush 'em at laser tag for me!" Louis told us on their way out the door.
"We will!" I said, laughing.
"Get well soon, El!" Kelsey said, waving. When we got back to the SUV, the boys looked at us, inquisitively.
"Where's Lou?" Harry asked.
"And Eleanor?" Liam piped in.
"Well Eleanor is sick, and Louis' staying with her." I said.
"Awe! How cute!" Niall said. We all laughed. "What? I'm a sucker for romance!" His comment made us laugh even more.
"We are soooo gonna kick your butts in laser tag!" Kelsey said, smiling evilly.
"We haven't picked teams yet, Kels." I said, patting her on the back.
"Oh." She said, embarrassed. The boys laughed, and I eventually did too.
******************
When we reached the arcade, there didn't seem to be TOO MANY people, but the boys were still careful and covered their eyes with sunglasses and flipped the hoods on their sweatshirts up. Harry had a few curls hanging out the side of his sweatshirt, so I quickly tucked them in for you.
"Your curls are a dead give away." I whispered to him. He nodded.
When we entered the arcade, we were greeted by a younger guy, probably around me and Kelsey's age.
"Hey! What can I get for you?" He asked, leaving over the counter. I realized his biceps were HUGE! He wasn't bad looking, with blonde hair and brown eyes.
"We'd like a round of laser tag." Liam said.
"Okay! Well I'll set you up. Come on back!" He said, motioning for us to follow. He led us to the laser tag arena, and then handed us each a vest and a gun. "Are you looking for a private round?" He asked me. I was confused at why he was asking me, but quickly nodded and smiled. "Alright." He said, winking.
"Don't we have to pick teams?" Harry said, a little overly loud.
"Yes. Uh... Do you have teams in mind?" He asked.
"Well we could pick team captains." Liam suggested. We all agreed that Harry should be captain, and Kelsey should be captain.
"I pick... Hm... Liam." Kelsey said.
"And I want Sammy." Harry said. "I mean... I don't WANT her.. I want her on my team." He blushed. The other lads laughed at him and I had to laugh too. I skipped up beside him, and waited. Kelsey chose Zayn, and Niall was the last to be picked.
"Awe. No one wants me." He said, sadly.
"Hey, if it were me, I would've picked you first." I told him, ruffling his blonde hair.
"Really?" He said, smiling from ear to ear. I nodded.
"Of course!" I said.
"Hey!" The instructor said, running up to me. "I'm Jared, by the way."
"Sammy." I said, smiling.
"If you need anything... Anything at all... Just ask me." He said, winking once again. He jogged back to his station at the front desk.
"Ooh!" Kelsey said, nudging me.
"Shut up!" I said. We all took our mark. I glanced over at Harry, and he was looking over at Jared with his hands clenched into tight fists. What's his problem? I looked over at Niall, and he didn't quite look like he knew what was going on. I smiled, looking at the Irish lad. He looked so happy...
"Sammy!" Harry said, tackling me to the ground and pulling me behind a barrier.
"Hey! What was that for?" I asked.
"It started and you were standing right out in the open." He explained. "So I saved you. You can thank me now."
"Thanks." I said.
"Don't you wanna give me a token of your appreciation?" He asked, tapping his cheek. I rolled my eyes.
"In your dreams." I said, crawling over to another barrier with a smirk. He smirked back at me, and the game was on.
