Cat's POV

Niall was acting really weird today. I know I'm no judge on his character,seeing as I've only known him a short while and have only ever spoken to him in person one day, but still. He seemed off about something.

Just when I was about to ask him about it, Mel asked me a question.

"What?" I asked, realizing that I had completely stopped paying attention.

Someone laughed, but I couldn't be sure who since I was still mostly zoned out.

"Do you want to go out to a diner with the boys tonight?" She repeated.

"Uh sure." I said. I'd have to talk to Niall after.

"Great," Louis said, "I'll pull the car up and we'll get going."

Mel gave him a weird look and Sophie laughed. "We don't need a car." Melanie said matter-of-factly.

Now it was Louis giving Mel the weird look.

~~~

Mel and Soph quickly began arguing over where we would go. Mel wanted to go to Five Guys, but Soph wanted to go to Denny's. Eventually though, they decided on a middle ground and we were now walking to Burger King.

"Burger King isn't even a diner!" Mel said. "We should've gone to Five Guys."

"You should've just given in and let us go to Denny's." Soph replied. "Burger King is like five blocks away from the apartment!"

"We could've driven there." Louis said hopefully.

"Oh all of you hush." I said, smiling. "Walking is good for your health. Just think, if we never walked, we'd all be fat and using hover chairs like the people from Wall-e."

"Well then, Miss Energetic." Harry mumbled. Then he spoke up a little. "Where'd you get all that energy from anyway? It seems like not only two minutes ago you were moping around."

"I don't know. The fresh air just woke me up." I smiled widely and started skipping. I realized that I had gotten a bit ahead, so I stopped and waited for the others to catch up.

When they finally did, I looked at Mel and Soph and smirked.

"Oh no you--" Mel started. It was too late. I had already linked my arms with theirs and began to drag them along as I skipped.

Soph rolled her eyes at me, but smiled. Soon we had gotten Mel in the middle and we were dragging her as she refused to skip with us.

Then Soph and I made a sudden stop. We looked at each other weirdly.

"Did you read my mind or something?" I asked. "How did you know I was stopping here?"

Sophie just smirked evilly and unlooped her arm from Mel's, who had fallen when we stopped skipping.

"You guys are so mean." She mumbled as she stood up and brushed the dirt off her clothes.

I realized that we had left the boys behind and quickly did a 180 turn only to run straight into Liam.

I was about to fall when he caught me and held me for a second. I smiled at him in thanks and quickly stood up on my own.

"Are we there yet?" Louis complained.

I raised my eyebrow at him. "Would you like some cheese with that whine?" I asked him.

Mel started laughing at me and I just silently laughed and turned around. Soon I was linking arms with Mel and Soph. They started to skip, but I stood still.

"What you doin, girl?" Mel said.

I let go of their arms and just sprinted. Now, I'm no runner, but I had a lot of energy.

I got to Burger King long before the others so I decided to go in and order. When I was done, I sat at a booth in the corner and ate quietly.

When the others walked in, I sat further in the corner and put my sunglasses on.

They ordered and went to find a place to sit. They decided on a table not far from mine. They didn't even notice me or mention the fact that I "wasn't there".

I walked over to my friends and creepily came up behind them.

"You guys are such great friends you know." I said sarcastically.

Everyone at the table jumped, not expecting me behind them.

Niall's POV

So not only was the image of Cat and Liam hugging burned in my mind, but so was her smile when he caught her.

I was beginning to get frustrated with myself. Liam has a girlfriend. I reasoned with myself. Plus, it's not like he could let her fall.

This was not helping though. We walked through the door of Burger King, ordered, and quickly sat down. While we were eating, I saw someone coming up from the other side of the table. At first I thought it was a fan, but then I noticed the familiar hair. It was Cat. I decided not to say anything because it looked like she was up to something.

She came up behind Harry and said, "You guys are such great friends you know."

Everyone at the table did a mini jump at Cat's voice.

I was the first to start laughing and Cat joined soon after. Soon we were all laughing, which is what we seem to be doing whenever we spend time with these girls.
