Chapter 11: The Bowling Alley Situation
"But you can't judge me 'til you've walked a mile
In my bowling shoes..."
As soon as the words leave my mouth, everything in the house goes silent. So silent you could hear a pin drop.
When I got to the floor that the boys were on, my jaw immediately hit the floor.
I stood there in shock while the reason for my shock stood frozen in whatever positions they were in before I came up the stairs. I still had yet to figure out what just happened. But as for what I'm currently seeing before my eyes...I have no words.
Before my eyes was the definition of catastrophe. Niall was sprawled out on the floor on his stomach but with both his hands in the air. In his hands was a blue sparkly bowling ball. Yes, a bowling ball. He wore a scared expression. What the hell is going on?
Right behind Niall was Louis...stood on one foot, the other at the side of him off of the ground, his hands outstretched in the direction of the bowling ball currently in Niall's possession. His mouth was slightly opened.
At the side of them was Liam, his knees bent slightly, eyes wide, mouth agape in shock. A little further down the hallway was Zayn, half his body out in the hallway, the other still in his room, his face full of confusion. It was clear that he was just about to come out of his room to assess the scene before I came upstairs.
Nobody moved. Nobody breathed. It stayed like this for a few seconds until we heard footsteps coming up the stairs and Louis started to lose his balance.
Harry emerged and stood next to me with a puzzled expression. Once he took in the scene in front of him, he barked out a laugh. I shot him a deadly glare and his laughing immediately ceased and he cleared his throat.
I was so tempted to laugh. They were afraid of me. On normal circumstances, I'd feel kind of hurt by this but this situation was just to funny to feel anything but amused. I really want to know what's going through their heads about me right now.
I smirked to myself as I waited for someone to start talking. I caught Liam's eye and shifted my eyes towards Niall, gesturing to help him up. He shakily moved toward Niall to help him off the ground. As Niall was about to get up, Louis snatched the bowling ball from his hands and hollered in victory.
All eyes turned to him. He immediately stopped, backed away from Niall and lowered his head avoiding eye contact with anyone. Avoiding eye contact with me. Still hugging the bowling ball tightly to himself.
Why are they so scared of me? I laughed to myself. Niall stood up with a frown on his face, glaring at Louis.
I want to laugh so badly. I think if I found out what actually happened, I might pee myself. Jk!
"So...does anyone mind telling me what the hell just happened?"
"Well....you see, the thing is-" before Liam could finish, Louis and Niall shouted, pointing at each other, "HE DID IT!"
A light chuckle escaped but I quickly composed myself. Need to keep up the act. Can't have them thinking I'm a softy!
"Okay. Now that we've established that. What actually took place? Zayn?"
He raised his hands in defense and retreated back to his room. Lost cause!
"Liam?" He's my last option.
"Well umm....I think we should go to the bowling alley first?" he asked, still highly intimidated by me. If anything, I should be intimidated by him! He's like twice the size of me!
As we started to walk in the direction of the bowling alley, I noticed from my peripheral vision that Niall and Louis were following us.
I turned to face them and pointed at them to make my point more effective and said,"No! Stay."
And before Harry could take another step in our direction,"You too, Harry." He pouted and his puppy dog eyes came out. No! Don't give in! We're not teenagers anymore. You're better than this, Mia!
Surprisingly, I didn't give in.
"Those don't work on me anymore, Harold so you can put them away,"I said with a smirk.
His jaw dropped open in shock.
"Close your mouth, Harold. You're going to catch flies,"I said with a bigger smirk.
Niall and Louis obviously needed supervision but I need to assess the bowling alley situation. So my next bet is Harry. Which probably isn't a good idea because if I know anything about Harry, is that he can be just as bad as them. Oh well...
Liam and I continued on our way to the bowling alley on the next floor. We stopped outside the door and Liam spoke,
"So we were in here. There was a sign that said 'sound proof' so Niall and Louis wanted to test it out. It started with screaming random words and phrases," he lets out a breath,"then it lead to," he stops mid sentence and opens the door. I walked in and at first saw nothing.
I turned to Liam confused. He cleared his throat and pointed at a wall at the furthest end of the room. I walked to the wall he pointed at and Oh My God!
I stared at the crack in the wall belwildered. How? How in the world?!
Liam walked forward cautiously and continued,"Niall dared Louis to kick a ball to the makeshift goal he set up."
I turned to him with wide eyes. "I guess you could say....he missed."
"You think?!" Why the fuck would he kick a bowling ball! How is his foot okay?!
He slowly backed away with his hands held up in defense, "I swear, I had nothing to do with it! Just an innocent bystander," he ended with a smile trying to lift the mood.
"After this happened, how did they get back on their floor......the way I found them,"I said trying not to laugh. Yes, I may be pissed at what they did to the wall in the bowling alley but just thinking about the positions they froze in will make anyone burst out laughing.
Liam was also trying not to laugh,"They ran out thinking they wouldn't get caught but on their way out, they spotted the blue sparkly ball and both wanted it. From the looks of it, Niall got it first and Louis chased him all the way back to our floor. Niall tripped which is how he fell and Louis took that opportunity to take it from him but didn't get the chance to because....well," and he gestured towards me.
What the hell? I haven't even known them 24 hours and I could tell that they are major goofballs.
I took another look at the crack in the wall. It wasn't big but it wasn't small either. I'm going to fix that before abuela gets back. I would put Niall and Louis to do it but to be honest.....I'm kind of scared of what the outcome will be. It's very likely that they'd make the situation worse anyway.
After taking a few breaths to calm myself, I turned to look at Liam. We held each other's eyes for about five seconds and then we both burst out laughing. Both hunched over, clutching our stomachs laughing.
I laughed until there were tears falling from my eyes.
"I have a feeling you boys are going to make this week very interesting."
He hummed in response. After composing ourselves, we made our way back down to the boys' floor.
"BOYS!" I yelled standing in the middle of the hallway. They all emerged from their rooms, Niall and Louis looking terrified, Harry slightly dazed as though something is on his mind and Zayn looks like he just woke up. He has sleep written all over him. I feel you, Zayn.
Liam moves from my side and stands with the rest of the boys.
It's quite amusing how they line up in a single line without realizing. Anyone from the outside would think that they were being punished.
Once I noticed that I had their full attention, I smirked and said,
"Let's get down to business, shall we?"
