the bucket list - h.s. (on hiatus)

chapter ii

O

Jenna finally arrived back home after several hours of being gone, leaving me with absolutely nothing to do.

"It's about time!" I sprung up from my seat on the couch, only to see Zayn standing beside her, which caused me to let out a loud groan. Him with that damn silky black hair and accent. Stealing my best friend and shit.

But it was okay, because I happened to actually like Zayn.

"I thought it was girls night." I pouted, crossing my arms over my chest. "Well, if it makes you feel better, we-" Jenna was cut off by a blue-eyed boy with chestnut colored hair. "This is where you live?" He wrinkled his nose at the mess that I had left from earlier in the evening, and Jenna simply chuckled.

"This is Louis." She introduced me to the sassy individual, who just half-smiled at me. "Mm, I take it that you're the slob responsible for this atrocious mess?" He motioned to the living room using his hand, and I nodded my head. "Nice to meet you, too." I was trying my best to smother a laugh, but it just sounded like I was choking.

His blue eyes glinted with mischief as he kicked off the worn out, navy-blue vans that were on his feet. "Well, it's good to know that you're not a neat freak. I so don't do that shit." He found a seat on the couch, resting comfortably.

"So, Jenna. Remind me again why you're all here?" I turned to look at my friend, only to be confused when there was a blonde boy with blue eyes and a bag of Doritos standing in front of me.

"Hey," It was hard to understand him through all of the cheesy-flavored chips stuffed in his mouth. "Um, hi?" I scrunched my eyebrows together when yet another boy walked into the room. He was tall and muscular, with light brown hair.

"Oh- I forgot to tell you." Jenna finally reappeared from the kitchen with a bowl of popcorn. "Zayn and his friends wanted to hang out here, so I said they could." An extremely loud sigh escaped my lips after she spoke.

"Hey! We're not all that bad; I promise." Louis shouted defiantly from his seat on the couch, and the blonde one bobbed his head up at down in agreement. "Hiiii," A deep voice sounded from the front door, and I turned to see Harry.

He looked even better than he did last week, when I had first met him- if that was even possible. His curls were pulled into a beanie, and he was wearing a grey sweater. "What'd I miss?" His green eyes swept across the room, before he too kicked off his boots and joined Louis and I on the couch.

Our house was definitely not big enough for seven people, so when we all tried to squish together on the couch, a huge argument broke out.

"Hey," Harry whined as the big, muscular boy, Liam- I think, shoved him onto the floor. "I was there first."
Louis proceeded to complain that he simply needed the most room- because he claimed his ass had to have the proper amount of space, even though he was taking up most of the couch.

After thirty minutes into the movie The Wolf of Wall Street- which Louis and Niall insisted that we absolutely had to watch, I was ready to lose it. The boys were bickering over who got to hold the bowl of popcorn, who got to use the blanket- literally anything and everything.

"I'm leaving," I announced as I got up to throw one of my many coats that were scattered among the room on- because it was absolutely freezing outside. After shoving my cold feet into a pair of Converse, I reached for the silver door handle.

"Wait!" Harry exclaimed, stumbling out of the living room and tripping on his own feet, earning several loud snickers from the boys and Jenna. "Can I come too? I-I don't really want to watch that movie, anyway." I nodded my head with a smile. The boy was adorable; you just couldn't say no.

"So, where are we going, exactly?" Harry asked, his hot breath coming in contrast with the cold air, causing a puff of white to come out of his mouth as he spoke. "I was planning on grabbing coffee- but if you don't want to, I totally get it. 'Not a coffee person', and all that. Although I'm pretty sure that coffee shops sell tea, too. Unless you don't like tea either. I mean-" His deep laughter caused me to stop speaking. "You worry too much, love." He told me with a smile.

I couldn't really say anything; but I sure as hell felt my cheeks burning. "It's not a bad thing, though. I actually think it's kind of cute." He admitted with a friendly smile.

We were only in the mini-mart for about ten minutes when Harry ran around, grabbing bags of fattening chips, six-packs of sodas, cookies, and other extremely unhealthy things that shouldn't even classify as food.

"Harry, all of that is junk." I stated simply, glancing down at my cart, which had fruits, vegetables and tea bags. "But this is the stuff that we like to eat," He argued, dropping it all in the metal cart, and smiled. "It's happy food." I rolled my eyes, wondering how the boys managed to stay in shape considering their disgusting eating habits.

"As long as you guys eat it all, I'm fine with it." Harry clapped his hands together, and took the cart from my grasp. "Meet you at checkout!" He exclaimed, running away.

Normally, I would roll my eyes and continue to walk, but I found myself chasing after the curly-haired individual, giggling loudly. He turned to line eight and started unloading the bags and small boxes.

"Finally, you guys are back!" Louis groaned dramatically and jumped up from the couch as soon as he saw us, grinning widely. "You brought food!" Zayn exclaimed from behind him, snatching one of the paper bags out of Harry's grasp.

"Yeah, junk food." I huffed, setting down the groceries. "Thank god, I hate healthy freaks. No offense." Louis nodded at Liam who simply rolled his eyes.

After noticing how comfortable everyone looked on the couch together, I couldn't bring myself to wake them up.

My bathroom was a mess, too. I guess you could say I wasn't big on cleaning up. After brushing my teeth and wiping off my makeup, I tip-toed past the living room to get to my bedroom.

I had been laying down for maybe ten minutes when there was a soft knock at the door. "What?" I groaned, turning on the lamp beside my bed.

"It's Jenna." I rolled my eyes, sitting up slightly. "What?" My patience was wearing thin, wanting nothing more than to curl up and fall asleep. Most people claim that sleep is for the weak, but I enjoyed it far too much.

"Sorry, for inviting the boys over, and stuff. I just thought you would have fun with-" She clamped her mouth shut. "Never mind. Just wanted to apologize." I began to speak, but before the words escaped my lips she was already out the door.
