Alyssa's Point of View

I rang the doorbell and took a step back. This is weird, really weird. Marilyn wants me to hang out with some of her friends from school that I've never hung out with before. I guess I've never hung out with anyone outside of school besides Liam once. That was only because we had a science project together though. Ever since then his friends have always been nice to me. I'm never invited to anything but they smile and occasionally say hi throughout the school halls.

"I don't think anyone is going to answer the door." I looked at Harry and he shrugged.

"Let's give it another minute. I can always call Niall." He pulled out his phone but before he could dial we heard footsteps. I crossed my arms and took a few deep breaths.

"I don't think I can do this Harry." Harry took my hand and held it for a minute; rubbing his thumb over mine.

"It's going to be okay."

When the door swung open Harry let go and Niall stood in front of us with a cheeky grin. He wore sweatpants and a plain white t-shirt. Thank god this is casual. All I decided to wear is a tiger sweatshirt and shorts.

"Hey guys! Sorry I took so long, I was getting everyone drinks!"

I tried to smile and we walked in, taking our shoes off. His house was pleasant; full of pictures and instruments. I know he does the talent show every year and he's really good but I didn't know he played a million instruments. We walked further into the house and into the kitchen.

"Could you guys grab some of those drinks?"

There was a cooler full of beer and some shot glasses sitting next to two bottles of Vodka. I've never really been a drinker. I'm more of a pot head--but not really--just the occasional smoke.

I could hear plenty of noise from the basement; at least seven voices, some boys and some girls. Plus a little bit of background music.

"Sure." Harry grabbed the cooler and Niall got the rest. I simply held my arms nervously. I'm glad Niall didn't treat me weird knowing what happened last night and I hope it goes the same for the rest of the boys.

Downstairs was chilly and I was happy I wore a sweatshirt. I noticed all of the girls from school which have never talked to me before. They always seemed nice but I'm invisible; they probably have no idea who I am.

"Harry!" The girls yelled; what a shocker. He smiled with the dimples he loved to show off and set the cooler down.

"We were hoping you'd come!" The blonde said, sitting next to Zayn.

When no one greeted me Marilyn ran over and practically jumped into my arms.

"Alyssa! I'm so happy you came! I didn't think you'd show up." She laughed.

Awesome, now everyone knows I really don't want to be here.

"Yeah, I wouldn't miss it."

"Come meet the girls! They're all so nice." They were all sitting fairly close to each other and I was introduced. "This is Perrie" the pale, beautiful blonde, "this is Danielle," tan skin and wild hair--beautiful as well, "and this is Eleanor", okay, maybe I'm a little prettier than her but she's got one hell of a smile.

I waved to them and put on my best smile. "Hi."

Perrie pushed herself off of the couch again and hugged me. "It's really nice to meet you and I'm sorry about last night" she whispered so no one could hear her.

"Uh, yeah, thanks."

The other girls smiled and waved but didn't get up. I didn't expect any of them to move but it was nice to have Perrie do that for me even if it was a pity hug. Harry was sitting next to Niall laughing about something, drinking a beer. Of course all of the spots on every single couch was taken so I stood, looking stupid.

"Who wants a beer?" Almost everyone squirmed towards the cooler and I felt like maybe I should. If I want some friends I should at least try to fit in. One beer won't get me drunk.

I didn't want to take anyone's seat so I remained standing; hoping someone would let me squeeze in.

"Lys, come sit on my lap." Marilyn patted her thigh but I hesitated until she raised her eyebrows. I need to fit in so I sighed and sat. She took my arm and placed it around her shoulder and continued talked to Louis and Eleanor. I guess they're dating, Liam and Danielle are together, and so is Zayn and Perrie.

"So do you go to the same school?" Danielle asked politely.

"Yeah, even since freshman year." I could tell she felt embarrassed so I continued, trying to make her feel better, "But I don't think I've had any classes with you."

I've had plenty of classes with Danielle.

"Do you guys wanna do something?" Niall asked everyone while lounging by Harry.

I think the thing I'm most worried about tonight is losing Harry. This is what I was talking about from the beginning; he'll make friends and I'll be invisible again. Both the girls and guys nodded and thought about what we can do.

"Truth or Dare?"
"Spin the Bottle?"
"Kings?"
"Never have I ever?"
"Beer Pong?"
"Uh, I don't know."

Answers were spat out left and right but none of them appealed to me. Every single one of those games will be embarrassing. Truth or Dare was voted quite a few times as well as Kings.

"We can always do both," Louis laughed.

"Alright let's do Truth or Dare first!" Niall yelled. "We do need to get to know Harry and Alyssa."

This is going to be awful.

"I'll ask Lys first." I flinched at Niall's words. No one can call me Lys unless I say it's okay and I don't want to play this anyway.

"It's okay, I'll just watch for now."

"No!" I heard from most, along with some excuses on why I should start. I don't have much of a choice. I guess I'll go with:

"Dare." At least they can't ask me questions about my past.

"Hmmm." Niall rubbed his hands together with another cheeky grin. I just hope he's not going to make me make out with someone. Or run around naked. "We'll start with something easy." Oh god. "I dare you to chug the rest of my beer."

"You just opened it!" I laughed. Possibly a half real laugh? I don't want to get drunk but if that's all I have to do...

"Exactly." Everyone cheered including Harry. I walked to Niall and grabbed it out of his hand and began right in front of him and Harry.

"Chug, Chug, chug!"
"Damn Alyssa!"
"I didn't know you had it in you!"

This sucks, it burns, and it's disgusting.

I finally finished and handed the bottle back to him while wiping my beer mustache with my sleeve.

"Yuck." I said aloud, while everyone laughed. Maybe they like me.

Harry's Point of View

"Just sit here." I pulled on her arm for her to sit on my lap. Damn that was hot. She still had her beer and drank some of it.

"This is really gross," she whispered in my ear but I laughed.

"You don't like beer?"

"I hate it." She laughed.

"It's your turn Alyssa! I choose dare." Niall winked at her.

She needs to make this really good. It can't be with one of the girls except for her and Marilyn since the rest are taken but there are so many other options she can go with. I think she's already tipsy from chugging that beer so I'm sure it'll be more than crazy.

"Okay. Ummm, you have to change a piece of clothing with another guy in this room." Hmm, I've never heard that before. "Pants, or shirt."

"Interesting." Niall pulled at his chin. "What size do you wear Harry?"

This is going to be embarrassing. I let him know and we traded. I tried to as quickly as possible. I guess Alyssa's seen me without pants on before but not everyone else. At least I'm more comfortable now. The guys talked about Alyssa's creativity and thought about what other clever dares they could come up with.

"Go ahead Harry. Ask me! I choose dare too." Louis smiled cheekily and I smirked.

"Take off your clothes and take a lap around the house."

"Ohhhhhh!" These guys really know how to speak in unison.

"Can I keep my boxers on?"

I laughed, "sure."

It was done and now my turn came around.

"Okay, I'm going to coward out and go with truth." He laughed.

"Shouldn't have said that bro." Liam said shaking his head while most laughed.

Oh no. I don't know what it is but I'm scared now.

"What's the dirtiest fantasy you've ever had of, hmmm, Alyssa. You know, since you live with her." I felt myself blushing but Alyssa laughed, being as she's extremely drunk.

"Go on" she said winking at me.

"Uh, I...I haven't had--"

"Lies!" Zayn yelled while pointing at me. "I know you have!" The drunkness is coming out of everyone.

"I imagined kissing her. That's it."

"You're so lying Harry Styles!" Marilyn laughed hysterically. "I see how you look at her."

I'm going to kill her.

"Come on Harry, I won't judge you." Alyssa winked again. This sucks.

"I imagined her going down on me and then having sex." I said quickly. There is much more to that fantasy but I think they'll take it.

Laughter filled the room while I continued to blush. Alyssa decided to whisper in my ear,

"Maybe we can make that fantasy come true." My eyes widened and I stopped breathing for a moment.

"Next!"

The game continued and some pretty embarrassing things happened. That will be the last time I ever choose truth.

---

"Ready to go?" I asked Alyssa while looking at my watch. We're supposed to be back by midnight but getting back at 11:30 sounds good to me. She's a little bit more sober so I think she can get pass Lily and Jack without question.

"Yeah!"

We said our goodbyes and I think she made some new friends. I know I did. The drive back was silent but feeling a little embarrassed didn't really make me want to speak. I hope she doesn't remember.

"So, I'll see you in the morning?" She said as I laid her down.

"Yeah, goodnight Alyssa." I smiled but her eyes were already closed and most likely asleep.
