Niall's POV

"Don't be late, please. Alright, see you later!" I hung up the phone. I just called Thalia. I called her because my closest friends Sean and Scott throw a party in his house which they just planned earlier this day for the reason that my application to join the X Factor was approved and my audition is on next week.

"Congrats, Niall!"

"Congrats, man."

"Congrats, bro!"

"Good luck."

My friends keep on congratulating me and expressing how happy they are for me and it touches my heart, really.

"You made it!" I almost jump on my feet after someone taps my back. It's Thalia and it 8:30 pm.

"Of course." She rolls her eyes at me, smiling. "Congrats, Niall."

"I know." I exhale. "Thank you."

"Can I go to Mia for a while?" She asks and I nod immediately. By the way, Mia is Sean's girlfriend and now our good friend. "I'm gonna go get some foods too."

"Yeah, sure."

While I'm looking at her making her way through the room, I could feel there's a gap between us. Like there is something wrong. God, I can't figure it out.

"Niall!" A familiar voice calls me and I startle a little bit.

"Oh. Hi, Alliyah!" I smile at her. I ask how is she and she hugs me immediately.

"I'm all good." She breaks the hug and kisses me on the cheek.

What?! I hope Thalia doesn't see this. My subconscious says. Wait, what?!

"Let's go at the back?" She smirks.

"What? I mean, why? The party's here. Why are we going there?"

"I want to be alone with you." She reaches for my hand and starts pulling me. "Come on, Niall. Don't be such an arse."

As we pass the hallway going to the back, I'm also searching for Thalia, making my steps slower and heavier so Alliyah keeps pulling me as fast as she could. I can't find her. I groan and who-knows-how, I find Marc in the middle of the room. And he is with my best friend. Cool.

"Niall, I like you." Alliyah utters as she puts her hand on mine and she squeezes my palm. What?!
