"Come on, love. Let's get it goin'," Harry told me as we climbed into their car.
I blushed and climbed in. I checked my phone, and sure enough- a message from my ex-boyfriend, Jake.
From: The Annoying One
I'll stop annoying you, just give me one more chance.
Harry looked over at my phone.
"Him again?" he asked, like it annoyed him that I'd ever consider dating Jake AGAIN.
"Yep, wants me back... ya, right, cause I want that," I said sarcastically.
He grinned.
To: The Annoying One
It's just not gonna work out. We can be friends, but I dnt like u in tht way. Srry.
Send...
"So, he annoys you saying he'll stop annoying you? Nice guy," Harry laughed at his own joke.
I just giggled, laying back in my seat, waiting to get to the bowling place.
"We're gonna have to have teams, you know," Liam called from the passenger seat.
I frowned. If I was stuck with Harry I would either die of blushing, or of his weird jokes.
"Who with who?" I asked him.
Right, so I would be with someone. It couldn't be a girl, there was no other girls other then me. Niall's mom had gone to work- poor woman, on a Saturday!?
"Er, you're with Niall. I'm with Harry, Louis is with Zayn," Liam announced.
Harry scowled, "Any way you can make me with Alex?"
I groaned inside my head. No, I silently pleaded to Liam.
"Nope, it's already decided," Liam said, to my great relief.
I smiled at Niall, who was in the middle of me and Harry in the middle seats. Niall gave me a short grin.
"Your good at bowling, right?"
"It's my specialty," I smiled, not kidding.
He giggled, and smiled at me. Harry saw it, and he scowled at Niall as well as me.

"SPARE!"
"Wow, your doing well! Great job," Niall said.
I had really warmed up to Niall's compliments, I had done well on most of my bowling. When I got a strike, he hugged me like I had just announced Nando's was now serving a new dish.
Harry had NOT warmed up to Niall's compliments, however. He scowled at us, and now he was going all "I need to win" on us.
"Your turn," I grinned back.
He smiled, went up and CLANK! the balls went down in ONE hit.
"Oh my gosh, a STRIKE!" I called out, and went up to hug him.
He smiled, and hugged me like a best brother would do. Then he grabbed for his second frame. He hit, and got half the pins down.... HIT! One pin left. He had gone down nine.
"Good job, bud!" I smiled.
He chuckled, and hugged me. Again, Harry scowled.

"That game goes to NIALL AND ALEX!" Louis said at the end. "Who work so well together!"
Me and Niall blushed and did our planned "victory dance". Niall laughed, and we high-fived, having done it together.
Harry finally just let it out, and giggled a bit.
"Haha, you guys are so cute together," Liam said.
I laughed and Liam looked at me seriously, but suddenly broke out laughing. Soon, everyone was laughing.
Niall chuckled, and we high-fived as we went out for Nando's.
"Who got the worst score- they have to buy Nando's!" Niall smiled.
Harry groaned, "Me and Liam...."
"YOU PAY!" me and Niall shouted in unison.
"What about Liam paying?" Harry asked.
Liam shrugged, "We'll split the cost."
Nando's, here we come.
When we arrived, we sat down in a booth. Niall was on my left, Liam on my right. Across from me was Harry, smushed in between Louis and Zayn.
"FOOD!!" Niall cried of happiness when our chicken got there.
I just laughed and dug at my food. The boys were staring at me like no girl could do that normally.
"Wow, you have the same food habits- horrible," Louis said.
I looked over at Niall, who grinned through a very full mouth.
"Right," I said, still digging in.
Inside I was doing a great happy dance. Same as me? Wow, nice comment Louis. Even if he didn't know how awesome that was to me, it didn't matter. All that mattered was that it was true, and it was.
