Emily's POV

Harold :)  : You still coming to Louis ,tonight?

Me : Yeah,I'm getting dressed,now..I'll be ready in 10

Harold :)  : Aw,your dressing up? ;)

Me : Shut up,and get your arse here,Styles :b

Harold :)  : On my wayyyyyyy

A goofy smile spreads across my face,before I tuck my phone,into my back pocket.

I mope around for a bit,deciding on a jumper, putting on my shoes...
I then, quickly tie up my hair,and walk out my room,hearing Harry's car from my window.

I walk downstairs, to see my Mum,sitting in the living room,along with my Dad who was finishing of some work,at the dining table.

"I'm off to my friends place," I state,leaning against the front door.

"With whom?" My mum ,asks.

"Harry..he's outside,waiting in the car"
I bite my lip.

"When do you plan on coming back,love?"she questions.

What was with the interrogation? She's never really cared this much before -

Oh. Wait.
Remember the time I snuck out with Harry? Well....I didn't get caught coming back home...but my mum definitely knew,something was up,because...Boy,did I get a whole lot off  weird looks from her the next morning...

"Alright...be safe,alright?" She says,before going back to whatever she was doing .

"Mhm,I'll see you!" I call before closing the front door.

I quickly scurry down the driveway,before slipping into Harry's car.

"Hi," I breathe,putting my seatbelt on.

"Hey," he smiles,starting his car,once again.

I take in his appearance, to see that he had his same old,black tshirt, paired with a pair of black skinny Jean's

Something that really stood out,was that he was wearing a bright yellow beanie.

"I like the "accessory" on your head," I say,holding in a smile.

He sighs,before letting out a small laugh.

"The Beanie's too much,isn't it?"

"No,no...its not," I giggle softly.

"You think it's too much don't you?"

"I....I think it's...I like it!" I nod.

"Sure you do," he chuckles,before driving of into the streets.

Me and Harry spend the drive,just catching up,and talking about classes.

But somewhere, at the back of my head...I felt nervous.

Why was I nervous? I was just meeting his friends..and it's not even the first time! I've seen them before...its just a causal hangout...

I vigorously shake my leg,as I look at the window.

"You alright?" Harry asks,placing his hand over my leg,causing me to stop shaking my knees,as I look his way.

"Yeah,no...I'm fine"

"You expect me to believe that? " he raises an eyebrow.

"Yes,I'm perfectly okay.."

There's a moment of silence, before his face lights up,as if he realized something.

"Your nervous, aren't you?" He smirks.

"I am not nervous," I state,with a small chuckle.

A nervous chuckle.

Damn it.

"See! You are!!"

I sigh,before giving in,knowing that he wouldn't let it go,unless I agreed.

"Alright,alright....Maybe...a little," I answer,swallowing the last couple of words.

"Em's,there's nothing to be nervous about," he smiles,genuinely.

"But..I feel like I'm...I don't know...you guys are so close..and I just...I.. you understand, right?" I sigh at the end,not finding any words.

"Yeah..of course I do..but the boys have been dying to hang out with you. And no,I'm not exaggerating " he states,looking at my reaction.

"The boys are always listening to what I have to say about you,and now all they wanna know,what's so great about this, Emily girl,that Harry keeps talking...about" he says, slowing down towards the end,realizing what he just admitted.

"Aw,you talk about me ?" I say,poking at his cheeks. "You know,I can tease too Styles," I smirk.

"You...." Harry suppresses his smile,before we break into a small fit of laughter.

"You guys always,hang around in his basement?" I question,as Harry leads me downstairs,to a room where the distinct sound of chatter came from.

"Well,yeah.." he shrugs.

We had reached Louis place pretty fast...Harry has a set of keys,to his place so we got in easy. Seemed like his parent weren't home,seeing the empty house,the only sound coming form the dimly lit area downstairs.

"So no...specific reason,to why you guys hang out...in this dark..dark..basement..?" I question,taking in my surroundings.

"Nope." He shrugs again. "Now enough with the stalling and the questions woman,let's go!!" He laughs,before swinging the door open.

I walk in behind Harry,seeing everyone I saw at the party,the girls as well.

A few of them sitting against the floor,a few of them sitting on the couch.

"Hey,you guys made it!!" Louis calls,patting Harry on the back.

"Of course," Harry chuckles,pulling him in for a hug.

"Emily!! Nice to see ya again,love" Louis smiles,pulling me in for a swift hug.

"You too," I smile.

Everyone gets up to say hi,and introducing themselves, once again.

We were all sat in a circle,around a small coffee table,just chatting,and having some laughs.

"So...Tell us a little bit about yourself,Emily" Liam begins,placing an empty can beside him.

"Yeah..we would rather hear it from you,then Curly over here,isn't that right?" Niall smirks,looking over to Harry,who was now glaring at him,but soon ,a small chuckle escaping his lips.

I smile at their little exchange before,beginning,

"Well,I'm 17..I moved to London when i was 4...so yeah,I've pretty much lived here my entire life...and..I'm not that interesting, so there's nothing much to know about me," I finish with a small laugh.

"You and Harry,study together every week,if I'm correct ?" Zayn asks,sitting up straight against the grey couch.

"Mhm,yeah..." I answer,with a smile.

All of the boys except Harry,look at each other,before Louis looks,back at me.

"Oh,I've been waiting for this for a long,time" Louis chuckles.

"What is it?" I cock my head to the side in confusion.

Harry on the other hand, who was sat beside me,looked absolutely clueless.

"Any...Any,embarrassing stories, you have about our Lad,Harry over here?" Louis questions ,leaning forward.

Harry sighs,and shakes his head.

"Really boys? You've known me so long,you must have an entire books worth of embarrassing stories.."

"But you never hang out with girls,Harry...we wanna know,what goes on!! This is our chance,now let us have this," Louis points his finger playfully at Harry.

"I was actually going to ask you guys,the same" I giggle.

"So this is what I came here for?" Harry laughs. "To hear you guys,talk about things that I definitely do not,want to be reminded of?"

"Oh,come on Haz...your having fun,now don't lie to yourself," Niall nods. "Now,Emily.... you may proceed,"  he smirks,immediately turning over to me.

Harry groans,hiding his face in his hands,causing us all to have a laugh.

I'm glad,I decided to spend my night with them...

×
We spend most of our evening, playing pictionary and games like Never have I ever.
I got to know the girls a bit better,as well...I learnt that Danielle was a dancer,and that she dreams of studying it further in Paris.
I learnt that,Perrie and Eleanor had similar interests as mine,in the Art field,which give us quite a lot to talk about..they were such nice people, and seemed to really love the boys...And honestly, I couldn't blame them..The guys really were wonderful people,and treated them like they were their world.

I was glad,that Harry introduced me to his friend group,because for once,after a very long time..I was genuinely having fun,with a group of people,without having to worry about what they would think of me,or who they saw me as.....and this feeling...it was unfamiliar...

But,it feels right...

A/n I'm not too happy with this chapter,so I'm sorry if you didn't like it..i promise the next one will be better ;)... I'm so excited, as to where this story is going,and I hope you guys are too!!
