Luke's P.O.V.

I followed Rachel out into the living room and immediately a silence fell over everyone. I toyed with lip ring as I met Calums gaze and he raised an eyebrow. It was obvious he wasnt convinced that Rachel could get me to come out of my room.

Honestly I was surprised she even came into my room. I havent exactly been hostile to her so it's a wonder she doesnt hate me for being so rude when shes over.

I watch a tad enviously as Calum opens his arms widely, whining as if he were a child and Rachel, giggling at his foolishness, quickly settles herself on his lap. Safe to say its been a while since I've had, lets say a special someone in my life. Although Calum has denied theyre a couple I think its a little more than obvious that theres something there.

Rachel gave me a soft smile and I couldnt help but return it sheepishly.

"Okay guys this is Luke. As I'm sure you can tell he's not the friendliest of people but he's definitely got the whole sexy smoulder thing going for him" she explained. "So we can pardon his rudeness" she added.

I couldn't help the smirk that tugged on my lips. Calum rolled his eyes at her comment while the other guy - Louis I was quite sure - laughed at her.

The girl at Louis side was watching him with just the slightest hint of jealousy. I assumed she was jealous of the fact that Rachel had so easily made him laugh. Really there was no need for her to be though, it was obvious he really cared about her simply by the way he was glancing down at her.

Once Rachel had told me everyones names, an awkward silence set over the group. One which for about thirty seconds I thought was never going to end. However Rachel quickly came up with a suggestion that left everyone a little unsure but willing.



Rachel's P.O.V.

When at last everyone had agreed on playing 'Never Have I Ever' we managed to make a circle. Seeing as the boys didnt have any alcohol (or claimed not to anyways) and it was a school night we were taking drinks of lemon juice.

The game was going pretty well, nothing too embarrassing had come out yet. That was until it was Emily's turn. Of course as she was new she needed to try find out about the relationships in the group and so she said "Never have I ever slept with someone else in the circle" Luke gave her a grin obviously satisfied with her question.

I froze momentarily and the closed my eyes. I didnt want to see anyones reactions as I took a drink.

When I opened my eyes I noticed everyone was staring at me. Luke a little surprised. Calum seemingly a bit angry but trying to calm himself. Louis in embarrassment as he had been the one it had been with. And Egypt with the slightest little bitof hurt in her eyes.

I felt a pang of guilt. It wasn't like we cheated or something but I still felt guilty.

Emily was still just watching me expectantly, waiting for me to say one.

"Okay, emm..." I began buy Calum cut me off.

"You know what, I'm not in the mood to play anymore" he stated simply standing up. Before I could argue with him he was in his room with the door shut.

I sighed, meeting Louis eye easily able to see the same guilt I felt myself.
