"So how did you carry me up the stairs?" Niall asked once we were going down the stairs. "Considering you're so little and weak."

"Excuse me, my height is average and I am not weak." I said as a matter of fact. He just looks at me like I'm dumb and I rolled my eyes. "Okay, maybe a little weak."

He laughed before continuing to pester me.

"I had help."

"From whom?" He asks as we reach the 10th floor.

"Louis."

"Tomlinson?" He gasped.

"Well, do we have any other people whose name is Louis, with us last night?"

"Calm down love, don't throw a paddy."He chuckled.

"I'm sorry."

"But seriously, he helped you walk me up?"

"Yes. Don't make it a big of a deal."

"It is!" HE laughed. "You do know we're just going to lunch with Zayn and Perrie right? Not a fashion show."

I momentary looked at what I was wearing. It was nothing too extraordinary, just a cream fluffy cropped sweater, a navy blue boot cut pants and black wedged heels. I was going shopping with Perrie after and I didn't want to look homeless next to her. She always looks amazing.

"Guess what?" Niall asked Zayn once we sat across him and Perrie.

"What?"

"Louis brought her, well us, home last night. Not just that but he walked 16 flights up since her elevator was out of order, and I was passed out. They carried me 16 flights up the stairs mate!" Niall stated, his arms waving everywhere, exaggerating the situation.

"Whoa."

"Whoa is right."

"Why is it such a big of a deal?"

"Because it is!" Zayn said as he looked towards me. "Louis never cares about how the girl goes home, that's why it's surprising. He never walked anyone besides-"

Perrie smacked him across his chest which causes him to stop and widen his eyes but he still continues talking.

"Regardless, he really doesn't worry about anyone not about girls anyway, he didn't have to worry about you or how you would get Niall up that stairs."

"Don't make him sound like a heartless dick." Perrie warns her boyfriend.

"It's because he is." Niall and Zayn chimed in at the same time, and then they snicker to themselves as if they already planned on saying that in the first place.

"He likes you." Zayn stated.

"I know."

"You know?" He asked. "He's going to owe us 10 pounds each."

"He kind of already lost?" I stated but it got out more of a question more than a statement.

"What?" Zayn beamed. "Hell yeah! Lunch is on me! Or lunch is on Louis!"

Perrie laughed at his boyfriend. I'm assuming she knows about that bet too but it didn't really matter, as long as they didn't bet on Louis asking me out right? They just betted that Louis will be whipped, or something like that.

"Why are you and Zayn close now?" I asked Niall once Perrie and Zayn got up to go to the loo. "No offence but you were a friendless dick before me."

"Wow, thank you for that compliment." Niall said, rolling his eyes at me. "Well at first, they were only hanging out with me because I was the hottest girl in the school's friend, it didn't worry me, because at least they were being nice to me and not yelling at me in the football field. Liam said I was actually getting better but one reason was because I was your friend."
