Riley's P.O.V
"You two were meant for each other!" El says excitedly after I finish my story. I blush. Harry is staring at me intently. I wonder if he remembers that day?
"Well wasn't that an adorable story, thanks Riley for making our first kiss memories seem like dog poo!" Louis says and we all laugh.
I still feel Harry's eyes on me. I look back at him, he smiles and then looks to Lou. "Alrite are we ready to party?" He asks. We all agree and Harry calls for the bill. They argue for a minute before agreeing to just split it evenly. Me and El laugh at them.
As we leave the restaurant I can feel Harry watching me intently. I can't stop the butterflies from erupting in my stomach again. This boy is going to make my insides explode.
When we get into the car Louis shouts "LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Then he blasts some song that was playing on the radio.

We pull up to the party and there's a huge crowd. It looks like the house is holding the entire school. I was never much of a partier in Arizona and the one time I did go it didn't go well. I shudder at the memory and Harry puts his hand on my leg.
"You alrite Ri?" He asks. I smile and nod at him and we all get out of the car. "Stick by me okay?" He says wrapping his arm around my waist. Lou does the same with El and we all walk in together.
"THE LOVE BIRDS ARE HERE!" Perrie shouts when she sees the four of us walk in. I laugh and shake my head. She's obviously drunk already. She hugs me and giggles. "How'd it go?! Did he confess his love for you?!" She yells but luckily only I hear her. I blush keeping my eyes on her face.
"NO, I told you we're just friends!" I say holding her up in her drunken state.
We all make our way to the kitchen. We see Liam with Danielle on his lap, and Zayn is standing a couple of feet away from them.
"LOOK WHO I FOUND!" Perrie yells, stumbling over to Zayn. He laughs shaking his head as he catches her.
"How'd dinner go?" Liam asks looking at the four of us. Harry is at the counter grabbing drinks, but looks over to me and smiles.
"It was PERFECT!" El gushes. Louis smiles intensely.
"Alrite I can't take it anymore. Since I'm here in front of all our friends, the wine is also giving me confidence," Louis says chuckling. "Eleanor Calder, would you do me the greatest honor and be my girlfriend?" He says holding both her hands. The look that appears on her face is priceless.
"I-I-I...OH MY GOSH!" She squeals. "YES YES YES OF COURSE!" She yells jumping into his arms. They collide into a heated kiss.
When they finally part Louis does a ridiculous dance making all of us dance. The boys are all cheering for him and the girls and I hug El. Harry passes out drinks "To Louis and Eleanor." He says raising his cup "Good luck El" he says smiling. We all laugh and drink to the new couple.
Harry's P.O.V
I'm really happy for Lou, he's been crushing on El for so long and he finally grew the balls to ask her out. I smile as I watch them be all couply. I also feel a tinge of jealousy, I wish I could do that with Riley but I'm sure she just wants to stay friends. She just got here so I'm sure she doesn't want to jump into a relationship. I watch her as she talks with Danielle. Her smile appearing every now and then. That smile can light up a room. She catches me staring and I look into my cup and take the last sip. I need another drink. I pour another drink and when I turn around Riley is talking to someone else. I know this guy, I think I have a class with him. He's definitely flirting. Ugh I cannot watch this. I take a gulp from my cup and turn to talk to Liam but he's..... Busy.... With Danielle.
