I heaved a sigh and hung up the phone. I exited the app and instead tapped on messages, clicking on Niall's contact. His display picture of himself shirtless. It was a selfie he took on my phone a few months ago, in which he assertively chose. Niall took daily selfies, occasionally forcing me into joining him. He has a whole album on his phone (and Facebook page) dedicated to them. Most of them where taken infront of the mirror without a shirt.

Not that I was complaining, though.

Me: hey niall, laim invited me over to play fifa do you wanna come?

Niall: laim? lol

Me: yes laim. Liam is v lame.

Niall: youre lame

Me: dude is liam a virgin

Niall: lmao idk. but did he actually invite me?

Me: no but ur coming anyway.

Niall: just couldnt stay away, could ya?

Me: asshole

Niall: moron

Me: are you coming or not?

Niall: ahahah sure. text me the address.

I never ended up telling Niall the address to Liam's house. He proposed that he could just guess the destination. After telling him that's impossible, and he could never just guess where someone lived, I offered to drive him there and he immediatley took it up.

So that's how we are here now, and let me tell you one thing, Liam's house is huge. I had only ever been here once but it was dark and I was high off my head. It was a huge, modern house (almost mansion) that was perched on top of a hill. There were two large driveways and they met at the top in front of the door. Between the two was a patch of grass with a water fountain.

I heard Niall slam the door shut behind me and then a audible groan when he realised he had to walk up the horrific driveway. He never liked exercising much. If he could, he would drive around on one of those Segway things for the rest of his life.

"Why did I agree to this shit." Niall complained. I started to climb up the driveway, and Niall groaned again, like he was trying to tell me something.

"What?" I asked smirking, not turning around. He ughed and ran up beside me.

It was a particularly cold day today, all I had on was a plain t-shirt and I was freezing. I don't usually wear jackets, but that's because we've been in Summer the whole time. Even though it's usually always cold in London, I don't wear jackets, just today is extra cold.

We finally reached the door and we where greeted by a laughing Liam, "You know, there's a staircase right there." He pointed to the right of the driveways, where there was a pretty much flat staircase that curved around the side, so it wouldn't have been half as painful trying to climb that.

I chuckled a little but Niall just glared.

-

It turns out that Liam had not only invited me, but some of his other friends. One of them I've never actually met. So it was perfectly fine that I had uninvitedly brought Niall along.

Sitting along the first couch was, Louis, Zayn, William (he goes to our school) and a guy called Xzavier, he was a year younger and had just moved into the town from Canada.

We sat down on the second couch, and Liam brought out a PS4 controller for each of us. We started on a game of multiplayer GTA V, since Xzavier claims he had never played FIFA before and doesn't want to be the only one not knowing how to play.

A few minutes into the game, Zayn had shot two guys walking next to each other. He mubled the word 'faggots' under his breath. He decided this would make a great conversation.

"How fucking weird would it be if one of you's were gay." He laughed. Will and Louis laughed with him, but it was very half-hearted. Niall hummed along, but I doubt he knew what was going on because he was too focused on the game. At least I hoped so.

"It would be okay, just awkward." Niall says. Oh, he was listening. Xzavier seemed very uncomfortable with this topic, probably because he was clearly gay as fuck. I mean, look at him, he is wearing the tighest clothes and stupid tennis shoes. I'm only wearing skinny jeans and a.. tight t-shirt. But that doesn't matter, Xzaviers clothes are way more tighter.

Louis scoffs, "Right, mate. Oh, and take a look at my skirt, I borrowed it from you." He turned to face Niall and smiled innocently.

It's always been fact that Louis is definately not fond of Niall, he's always just hated him for some reason. Don't get me wrong, Niall is a very charismatic person, but Louis constantly gets on Niall's nerves.

I half glared at Louis, I didn't want to take my eyes of the screen. Niall flipped Louis off and everyone stayed quiet for the rest of the round.

The next few rounds consisted of a lot of swearing and a few tossed controlers. GTA V isn't even that much of a competitve game. I started to laugh at Niall and Liam when they started fighting over the 'truce' they had called earlier.

About three hours had passed and had Xzavier had just left, leaving us to play FIFA 14. I went with Liam to the kitchen to get some snacks.

"Nice place." I say to Liam as I take in my surrondings. I was in a large room with bleached tiles and wooden benchtops and very high tech ovens and plants everywhere. It was a very modern kitchen with new interior. It was probably one of the most amaziong things I has seen all year.

"Thanks." Liam replied. He opened the pull out pantry that was packed with junk. "My dad left some drinks in the fridge, see what's there."

I opened the large fridge, I had to search a while until I actually found the beers on the bottom shelf.

Will's eyes widened when he saw the amount of appertizers we had when we walked back in. Zayn paused the game and we all talked a little about man stuff and ate food.
