Loud music and bottles of beer.

Never had I been used to these kinds of parties. I only went to after parties during fashion shows.

In fact, this was actually my first ever party, like real party. I don't like partying and going to clubs of some sort but I've had lots of friends who do.

I'm not even the type to dance. In fact, I don't dance. I don't sing. I don't drink. And what I mean by don't is well. Never. Well for drinking alcohol that is.

"Mia! You're here! The boys are waiting for you!" Louis exclaims when he sees me and heads over.

I smile and hug him back.

"How's the party so far?" He smiles and looks at me with bright eyes, he was expecting a good answer and I didn't want to hurt him by saying that I don't really like parties. I wasn't even sure why I decided to come. It was just that they all seemed to expect me to come and even invited me. It would be rude not to.

'It's really... It's really good." I smile and he smiles back enthusiastically.

"Come on, I'll let you say hi to the boys." He motions for me to follow him and we made our way through the crowd.

As we got nearer, I saw bodies of people sitting on the couch. I could make out Harry's because I was sure that it was him with his curly brown hair and just his build alone.

"Boys, Mia's here." Louis says and both Niall and Harry look at me then stands up to give me a hug.

"We're so glad you could come." Niall comments.

"Yeah. Honestly, I actually thought you wouldn't come. This doesn't seem like your kind of taste." Harry laughs and I just shake my head.

"Liam's somewhere. And Zayn's probably snogging Perr-" Niall was cut off by Harry's elbow jamming into his stomach.

"Ouch mate! What the bloody hell was that for?" Niall asks as he rubs his stomach.

"Are you okay?" I quickly ask ignoring what he said earlier about Zayn. I could feel Harry's eyes on me as I checked over Niall.

"Just.. I was just having a little fun.' Harry playfully shrugs it off.

"Are you sure you're okay?" I ask Niall once more and he nods.

"I'll be better when I get back at him later." He glares at Harry but Harry just laughs it off.

"Hey guys! What did we miss?" Liam's voice breaks Harry's laughter and we all turn to see him standing with Zayn and Perrie. My eyes was on Liam all the time even though I could see Zayn and Perrie in my peripheral vision.

"Oh hey! Mia! I'm so glad you came!" Liam gives me a hug and I hug him back.

"Yeah me too." I say not really meaning it but it was quite true actually. My purpose was just to stop by for a while anyways.

"Hey Mia.." I hear Zayn say and I smile at him then at Perrie. She looks at me for a second then she looks at me again longer than last time then she broke into a smile and hugged me.

"Oh my gosh! Mia Khan? Really? I'm such a fan! I love your designs! I'm in love with your Winter collection!" She squeals as she hugs me and I hug her back quite happy that some celebrities recognize me.

"Thank you." I shyly say when we both pulled back.

"Oh my god babe! Why didn't you boys tell me you knew Mia Khan?" She looks at Zayn then the rest of the boys.

"Yeah. We.. We never.. We-" Liam was cut off by Zayn.

"We knew her a long time ago." Zayn says and looks at Perrie then at me.

"Yeah, before I started to make a name here." I support Zayn's explanation.

"Wow! That's grand! You're really amazing!" She says and I thank her again.

We all sit together at the dinner table and decided to leave Louis and Liam to manage the party.

Harry and I were talking when we heard Perrie's voice.

"Zayn baby come on. Just one dance? Please? For me?" She pleads and pouts at Zayn he kind of looked uncomfortable.

"Drinks everyone!" Niall shouts and passes a cup of alcohol to everyone. Lastly, Niall was about to hand over the cup of alcohol to me and I was about to decline and tell him that I don't drink when I heard Zayn's voice instead.

"She doesn't drink mate." He tells Niall then looks at me.

"Really?" He asks eyes wide in surprise.

I nod then smiled at him.

"Wow.. That's um.. That's.. That's new." He comments then sits down beside Harry.

"I've never met a girl who doesn't drink. Have you ever tried drinking even just a sip?" Niall asks obviously intrigued about me not drinking.

"Never. I don't want to." I say and he nods his head in understanding.

"That's cool. Aren't I right Harry?" He turns to Harry.

"Yup. I think I'm starting to like you Mia, more and more." Harry looks at me then smiles showing off his dimples.

I actually didn't think anything about what Harry said but Zayn seemed to have switched moods. I saw a glimpse of him staring at Harry with a pissed off expression.

"Mia's not like other girls." Zayn surprises me by saying this.

"Didn't say she was." Harry answers and it felt as if I wasn't even sitting here right in front of them.

"Okay, babe. Zayn. Come on, let's dance!" Perrie stands up and grabs Zayn's arms as she tries to make him stand.

He finally gives up and heads towards the loud and dancing crowd. Thinking that he had his back away from us. I looked to see if they had already reached the dance floor.

I was met by his eyes staring right through me as Perrie dragged him away. I was the first to break free from our gaze.

I felt bad. I didn't know why but somehow the way he looked at me. I kind of felt like I was doing something wrong if I looked back at him. I felt different. His stare was different and I just wasn't sure if I knew exactly what that look meant.
