Bring It // EDITING

Chapter Twenty Seven

He leaned down, wrapping me in a hug.

"I'm sorry I didn't.. I don't know, feel the same way." I said. He chuckled. "It's fine, we're friends, we'll still hang out."

"Thank you, I don't want any relationship getting in between my friends." I sighed in relief.

"Just.. don't tell Niall I do. He'd kill me." he said. I nodded.

He pulled away, walking with me back to the room.

"Your song sounds beautiful by the way." he said, opening the door for me. I thanked him.

"Yeah, Niall and I have been working hard on it."

"You two will get an A on it, I guarantee it." he said, sitting down.

"What class do you have next?" Ed asked.

"Drama." I said.

"Mind if we hang around? I know Louis in there also."

"I don't mind at all."

"I'll come too." Niall said. I looked at him. "Don't you have a class after this?"

He shook his head. "After this class I'm free for an hour."

Mr. S dismissed us, and we all walked down to the theatre room.

"Hi Laney!" Louis called from the stage. I waved to him. "Hey Lou!"

Niall grabbed my things, motioning for me to head up there. I have him a quick kiss, jogging to the stage. Louis grabbed my hands, pulling me up.

"What's going on now?"

"More simple improv, just to warm us up before auditions Wednesday."

I felt my stomach flip. "Auditions are in two days?" I gasped. His eyes went wide. "Delaney, yes!"

"Shit." I muttered, covering my mouth. He grabbed my arms. "Don't worry, I'll work with you." he said.

"I forgot all about auditions, I can't believe I forgot about them." I rushed, holding my temples.

"We're just doing two scenes. The party scene and the balcony scene. They'll be simple, you can memorise them before then." he said. "I don't know, I'm really scared now."

"Don't be, I promise you, you'll do great. Besides, Mrs. C loves you." he said. I took a deep breathe, nodding. "Okay, I'm calm. I'm calm."

Mrs. C made us do a few random skits, then let everyone sit around. The guys crawled into the stage, sitting in a circle with us.

"I never knew you could act like that." Niall said, pulling me onto his lap. I shrugged, snuggling into his chest. "You never asked about it."

"You'd be amazing at role playing." he said. I elbowed him. "Watch it."

"Why don't we grab something to eat tonight?" Ed suggested. I nodded. "Sounds fun, where at?"

"I know this pizza place not to far from here, it's fucking amazing." he said. I laughed. "Sounds good."

"How can you eat that? It's like a salad." Ed said, pointing to my supreme pizza.

"What? It's still pizza."

"It's a garden on bread, it's not pizza."

"What the fuck Ed, it's a pizza." I snorted. He shook his head. "Unless I see sausage and pepperoni on it, it's not pizza."

"I'm gonna punch you in the neck." I laughed, setting my head in my hand. The table laughed at our bickering.

"I like it." Zayn said. I nodded, gesturing to him. "Thank you, Zayn, for liking my choice of pizza." I emphasized, holding my half alive up. Ed flipped me off. "It's still not pizza."
