Lily's POV

END OF THE SCHOOL DAY

The final bell just rang indicating that my first day of high school in Holmes Chapel was over.

As I shut my locker about to leave, Niall came over and opened his.

"Hey Lily. How was lunch? Sorry I left, it's just that Harry doesn't like me all that much." he said awkwardly.

"It was okay. I met Louis uh Thompson?" I think that was his name.

Niall chuckled. "Tomlinson." he smiled.

"Oh right." At this point I could feel my cheeks burning.

"So you excited for the party tonight? Don't forget I'll pick you up around 7."

"Yeah. Would it um be okay if my uh stepbrother came too? I just don't really go anywhere without him or else I get really nervous because I'm not exactly a people person so then I start stuttering and talking really fast-"

Niall laughed. Not laughed like he was making fun of me though, which was a first. "Lily calm down! Don't worry, your brother can come and by the way I think it's really cute when you stutter." he blushed.

Oh boy. Was he a keeper or what? "Thanks Niall but I usually end up embarrassing myself like I just did." I admit.

"Well I don't mind." He smiled.

As we started walking out of the school together I noticed Liam waiting by his car searching for me.

"Hey my rides over there." I pointed to Liam.

"Is that your stepbrother?" I nodded. "Can I meet him?" he asked nervously. Gosh he's so cute.

I smiled. "Sure."

We walked to Liam's car and by now Liam had noticed us.

"Hey." he said to us. "Who's this Lil?" Ever since we were 15 when our parents got married, he's always called me Lil and I've always loved it.

"Liam this is Niall, my uh friend."

"Nice to meet you mate." They shook hands.

"You too Liam. So I already asked Lily but would you want to come to a party tonight? I offered to pick you up too around 7." He smiled.

Liam thought about it for a few moments before answering, "Yeah sure. You need our address?"

"No Lily already gave me her number so I'll text her tonight. I'll see you guys later." Niall waved but not before giving me a side hug. I smiled at him and he walked over to his car.

"Well I see you made some friends, huh?" Liam asked with a look I couldn't quite figure out.

"Yeah..."

"Well Niall seems cool. I just felt like you already told him yes so if I had said no, which I was going to, it would've been pretty awkward. Am I wrong?"

I sighed. The truth is, he wasn't wrong. He was actually dead on and that's what bugged me about Liam. He was always right.

"No, you're not wrong. I just thought it'd be fun to go to a party after our first day." I admitted honestly.

"Well next time, just give me a heads up okay? That conversation back there could've gone in many different directions..."

"I know and I'm sorry."

AT HOME

Liam and I both sat on the couch and started watching tv. I got a text message soon after.

*Hey Lily it's Niall :) Where's your house?*

*Hi Niall. It's the third house on the left once you turn onto Prospect Avenue. It's a brick house with black shudders. :)*

*Okay. See you at 7 love*

I smiled at his name for me. Then I heard Liam clear his throat.

"So, did you meet anybody else today besides Niall?" He asked.

I thought about mentioning Harry but then I remembered Liam was there when I ran into Harry and I decided against it. I didn't need him asking any questions about what happened the next time I saw Harry.

"Yeah. His name's Louis. He's really nice and funny."

"That's cool. Hey remember the guy you ran into this morning? Umm Harry I think it was?" I nodded. "Well I met him today and he's a cool guy. However he does have a bit of a reputation around school..."

I was about to ask him what he meant until I looked at the clock which said it was already 6. Where did the time go?

"Well I better go get ready for the party." I stood up.

"Yeah, okay." Liam said. He still looked like he wanted to tell me something but I didn't exactly have time, so I'm sure it could wait.

After I changed my clothes, reapplied my makeup, brushed my teeth, and straightened my hair for the second time that day, it was already 6:40.

I decided to go on Facebook and talk to some of my old friends from Michigan. About 5 minutes later the door bell rang. I guess Niall wanted to show up early. However when I opened the door I almost pissed myself.
