We sat in silence as Niall drove us somewhere. When I saw the lit up sign with the name of my favourite pub I was sold. “We’re going there, right?” I said eagerly while I sat up. He looked over at me in surprise. “How did you know?” He asked curiously. “I didn’t, I just really like The Gate Inn.” He laughed. “I’ve never seen you there before.” I hadn’t ever seen him there either, but I knew why. While Niall was trying to park I watched him. His mouth was slightly opened, his eyebrows frowning as he looked in the rear-view mirror. He looked adorable, in every sense of the word. “I used to go with my Mum for lunch every Thursday. They do some great pies there.” He successfully parked the car and got out, so I followed his lead. “Ah, that explains it. I come here for the drinks, not the food.” I laughed. “Typical.” We started to walk before I noticed the offended look on his face. “Hey, watch it! I might just get you drunk otherwise.” I rolled my eyes, which I was, annoyingly, getting in the habit of doing. “I’m not eighteen yet, dork.” He smiled mischievously “So?” I gave him a shove as he opened the pub’s door. I’d never been in here at night. It was warm, smelled of beer and had a very good atmosphere. Almost immediately after we walked in someone slapped Niall on the shoulder. “Hey mate, how are you?” the guy asked Niall, I vaguely recognized him from somewhere but couldn’t put a finger on where. “Jake! Yeah, I’m good. But I’m kind of occupied.” He beckoned to me “Talk later, okay?” Jake winked at me and then smiled. “Sure, have fun.” I followed Niall to a table at the back of the pub. It was a table for six, which in my eyes was a bit excessive for just the two of us. “So…” I didn’t really know what to say and neither did Niall. “Is it okay if some friends come, I was kind of on my way here when I saw you.” He gave me an apologetic look. I didn’t really feel that happy about it but I managed to get out a smile along with a nod. “Sure.” I wasn’t a good liar. “I’m sorry Jen, but we always meet up here on Fridays.” I sighed, it was strange that the first day of term was on a Friday, but hey, I wasn’t complaining. It just meant I now had a weekend to relax. Avoiding lying again I asked Niall a question. “So, who’s the we?” He smiled, happy that I was actually interested. “Zayn, Liam, Louis and Harry.” I nodded, as if I knew who all these people were. I now realized why the table we were sat at was so big. “I know Harry, he’s nice.” I said because nothing else came to mind. A look I couldn’t figure out crossed Niall’s face. “Yeah, he’s one of my best mates.” He said, smiling. I nodded. “Hey. Who’s this Ni?” I turned around to see one of the guys who had sat at Harry and Niall’s table at lunch. “Hi. Liam this is Jenna, Jenna, meet Liam.” He said, pointing to both of us in turn. I smiled at Liam who stuck his hand out and grabbed it with my own. He shook it and then sat down next to me. “So Jenna, how did Niall get you so far as to go somewhere with him?” Liam grinned. I laughed heartily. “He’s a womanizer. Didn’t you know?” I explained to him. A grunt came from Niall’s direction and when I looked over to him I could see his fake hurt expression. “In my defence, she volunteered to come along.” He was telling Liam the truth, but somehow I didn’t really want him to. I didn’t have the foggiest why though. “Zayn.” I could see the relieved expression on Niall’s face as he looked at someone stood behind me. I turned around and saw a guy with black hair and a slightly tinted skin-color. He was from my art class. “Hi guys, Jenna.” I felt ashamed that he knew my name when I hadn’t even known his but I managed a “Hi” back anyway. Zayn didn’t seem to think it was strange that I was invading on their boys night. I liked it that way. There were four of us now, I don’t think I’ve ever been around so many guys without someone else there before. Let alone having to actually have conversations with them. While Niall was getting us drinks from the bar Harry arrived. He looked surprised to see me there, but not in a bad way. He gave me a kiss on the cheek as a greeting, which made me go red. Which, in turn, made Zayn and Liam hoot at us. Niall came back with the drinks, he handed me an orange juice which I’d told him to get me instead of beer like the others were having. “Thanks.” He smiled and passed all the drinks around. “Sorry Haz, you’ll have to get your own. Buy Lou’s while you’re at it. He’ll be bound to arrive soon.” Harry nodded and left the table. Soon after, the boy from the secretary’s office headed towards the table. “Louis!” Zayn cried and jumped up to give the other guy a hug. “I missed you.” He said over dramatically. Louis laughed and hugged Zayn back. “I missed you, too.” He added and then sat down. “Hey, aren’t you Jenna?” he asked me as he sat down in Harry’s seat. “Yeah, nice to meet you.” I said, I was feeling slightly suffocated. There were too many people for my liking. The boys all got wrapped up in conversations as I sat staring at my glass of orange juice. Harry came back with his and Louis’ drink and sat down on the only remaining seat, the one next to mine. His eyes met mine, after they darted to my glass. “So, you don’t drink alcohol?” it was more of a rhetorical question, but I shook my head anyway. “Nope, I’m not of age yet you know.” I stated. He smiled, winked and tapped his nose. “I’ll tell you a secret. Neither am I.”

Naughty Harry... >.<
*I am in no way implying that underage drinking is a good thing! Keep away from alcohol as long as possible, it's only bad for your body anyway*
