“Where’s the food?” Niall asked pulling me into his lap.

“Louis is working on it. Calm down!” I said squirming in his lap, trying to get my buzzing phone out of my pocket.

“Stop squirming!” Niall complained.

“I was just trying to get my phone out!” I argued.

“Well now you have it!”

I looked at my phone and opened the text.

Claire: Liz! I miss you! When are you coming back to me?

I smiled. Claire is my best friend in the entire world; she’s like my sister.

Me: I miss you too, babe! I still have a ways to go before I come home L

Claire: Grrr! I need my best friend!

Me: I’m sorry! Blame my father!

Claire: Oh, don’t worry about that. I’ve sent him a very strongly worded text!

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “What’s so funny?” Niall asked, trying to read over my shoulder.

“None of your business.” I said hiding the screen.

“Why are you texting?” Zayn asked.

“My best friend.” I smiled.

“Guy or girl?” Zayn asked.

“Girl.”

“Is she pretty?” I opened up a picture of her on my phone and showed him. “Wow,” Zayn said. “She looks a lot like you. Are you two secretly related?”

“I want to see!” Niall whined.

“There!” I said showing him.

“Whoa. You do look alike.” He said shocked.

“My turn!” Liam said getting up and looking at the screen. “There is a remarkable resemblance.”

“Do you want to see, Harry?” I asked, noticing how quiet he was being.

“I doubt she looks that much like you.” He scoffed, getting up. “Or she could look a lot like you.” He said seeing it. “Lou! Come see this girl! She looks a lot like Elizabeth!” Harry shouted.

Louis came out, shoving popcorn in his mouth. “Wow! Who is she?”

“My best friend.” I said.

“Not your sister?” Louis asked.

“No. We do get mistaken as sisters a lot though, especially as kids.”

“I still think you’re secretly sisters.” Niall said.

Me: Apparently we’re sisters, no matter what our parents say.

Claire: Of course we are! :P

Me: One Direction is convinced we’re blood related.

Claire: …One Direction?! You’re with them?! You showed them a picture of me?!

Me: I told you I was working with them! I showed them a picture of you because they wanted to know what you looked like.

Claire: Are you working right now or just hanging out?

Me: We’re just about to watch a movie.

Claire: So you guys are like friends now?!
