In the morning, it was about 10 am when I woke up. I looked around to find Ruth, braiding her hair while Nicola wasn't in the room.

"Good morning." Ruth smiled, when she saw me.

"Morning." I smiled, getting up and walking to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and then took some clothes and had a bath.

After getting ready, I walked downstairs to find everyone already seated on the breakfast table.
I greeted everyone and sat besides Liam, serving myself some toast.

"We are throwing a party today." Liam said, turning to Dad.

"That would be great." Mom chirped in.

"Yes, after all it's her 18th birthday." Nicola smiled.

"Yes, sure." Dad nodded.

"When are you guys going back?" Nicola asked, turning to the boys.

"Tomorrow morning." Zayn replied,"We've to start our tour too."

"That's really great." Nicola grinned,"Good luck."

"When are your exams starting, Evie?" Dad asked while drinking his orange juice. Dad has always been worried about my grades and academic scores.

"From Monday, Dad." I replied.

"You've just one day to prepare!" Niall commented and I nodded.

"I have already completed my preparation." I answered honestly.

"That's alright then." Dad said, giving me a satisfying smile.

After we were done with breakfast, Dad went in his study room to complete his office work, while Mom was washing clothes.

Ruth and Nicola were helping Mom while the boys were in Liam's room, discussing over something. I opened my phone and found tons of wishes and greetings. I found one from Arianna too, along with a sorry note for she didn't inform me that she had left school early on the fashion contest day because of some emergency.

I wrote thank you and it's okay for her and then replied to everyone. My phone rang and I sighed; Anthony was calling me. I didn't pick up the phone and kept it on the side table but he didn't stop.

Sighing, I finally picked the phone,"Whats your problem, Anthony? Stop bothering me!"

"What do you mean? I just called to wish you happy birthday."

"I don't need your wishes. Just don't call and bother me."

"Why are you being a b**tch!"

"I'm not, okay? Anthony, Just please don't call me again. I have already give you the money you asked for."

I hung up the phone and sighed heavily, running my hands through my hair.

Somebody knocked on the door and I replied,"It's open."

The door opened and in came Zayn who had a worried look on his face,"Were you talking to Anthony?"

My breath caught in my throat and I stared at him in shock. Did he hear me?

"N-No." I chuckled,"This was some other Anthony."

"All okay?" He asked, sitting besides me.

I stared in his dark, brown eyes and nodded, nervously.

"Okay, come,we're having a game." He said, smiling a little. 

"How many games do you guys want to play?" I laughed. 

"Oh cmon." He laughed, standing up and holdimy hands,"Let's go."
"Uh, okay." I chuckled, following him. 

"So what are we playing?" I asked, once everyone was gathered in the living room.
"Hide and seek." Harry answered and I nodded. 

"Okay, we'll hide and Liam will search." Nicola announced. 

"What? Why me?" Liam protested but we all chose to ignore him.
"Okay, Liam count till 10." Niall grinned,"And don't try to cheat." 

"Fine." He huffed and turned around, closing his eyes. 

"1..." Liam started and everyone ran to find a hiding place. I rushed to my room and quickly opened my closet and hid in it. My closet was the best place to hid. 

"5.." I heard Liam when somebody opened the door and I screamed a little. 

"Zayn." I groaned,"This is my place." 

"8..." We heard Liam. 

"Never mind, come in." I said, quickly pulling him in and not giving him any chance to speak. I closed the closet door quietly when we heard Liam saying,"I'm coming everyone." 

There was just a little space inside and me and Zayn were stuffed like someone stuffs their toys. He pressed his hand on the walls of the closet to prevent from falling over me. I could feel my face heat off and I was sure that I looked like a red tomato. 

We heard some footsteps and looked at each other. "Liam?" I mouthed to Zayn and he nodded, signalling me to keep quiet. ​​​​​​​Aachoo! Zayn sneezed and immediately covered his mouth while I glared at him. The closer door opened and Liam yelled,"Evie and Zayn! Found you!"

"Zayn!" I groaned, hitting his arms lightly and coming out of the closet. 

"Sorry." He chuckled, scratching the back of his neck.

"Time to find everyone else." Liam grinned, walking downstairs while me and Zayn followed him.

"Harry, I can see your curls." Liam laughed when he saw Harry hiding behind the couch.

"Ugh." Harry groaned, coming out. Liam walked in the kitchen and looked around when he spotted Louis from the window,"Louis! Found you."

I peeped through the window to find Louis, standing outside our house. "You were hiding here?" I frowned.

"I thought, he won't find me if I'm outside the house." Louis winked and I rolled my eyes.
Liam then walked in Nicola's room and opened her closet but found nobody. He then kneeled down and looked under her bed.

"Nicola! Ruth! Found you." Liam laughed, standing up.

"You two were hiding at the same place?" Harry asked.

"Yes." They blushed and I rolled my eyes.

"So.. Only Niall is left." Zayn commented as we walked downstairs to the living room.
Liam nodded and walked in the laundry but Niall wasn't there. "I'm gonna go Check the bathrooms." Liam muttered as everyone followed him.

Liam opened his room and walked in the bathroom before yelling,"Found you Niall."
"Ah." Niall muttered, coming out.

"Okay who's next?" Nicola asked.

"Evie and Zayn." Liam answered,"I found them first."

"Okay, cool." Nicola replied,"Count till ten."

"Fine." I nodded and me and Zayn closed our eyes, counting till ten.

"And... Ten.." Zayn yelled.

"We're coming." I added,walking out of Liam's room. "You check the bathrooms and I'll check the kitchen." I informed Zayn and he nodded. I walked to the kitchen, looked around but found nobody. Sighing, I walked out of the kitchen and saw Zayn coming downstairs. "Anybody?" I asked.

"No." He shook his head, looking at me.

"How about we check the store room?" I asked,"The boys don't know about it but Ruth, Nicola and Liam do."

"Yeah, Maybe we'll find anyone of them there." Zayn nodded and followed me to the store room. I opened the door and the dust blew in my face. I coughed a little and walked inside. I turned to the switch board and tried to switch on the lights but they didn't. 

"Here." Zayn said, handing me his phone with the lights turned on. I took his phone and walked further inside when I saw a lizard on the ground. "Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh." I screamed, running outside with Zayn following me.

"Evelyn? What happened?" Zayn asked worriedly, while I jumped on the couch.

"Evie?" Mom and Dad came out of their room too. Soon, everyone had gathered around me.
"What happened?" Nicola asked,"Why were you screaming?"

"I saw a lizard." I laughed nervously,"They scare me."

"What the..." Liam murmured but stopped abruptly,"You scared us!"

"I'm sorry." I laughed, jumping down the couch.

"We got worried." Mom scolded,"Now stop playing and have your lunch."

"That dress really looks so good." Arianna commented while I was putting on my bracelet.

"Thank you." I smiled, walking to the bed and sitting besides her. Liam ushered me to the room because he and the boys wanted to decorate the living room for my birthday. Despite my protest, they didn't listen to me and literally locked me upstairs. I didn't even know that they had invited Arianna. Music was blasting the whole house and I could smell the food that was being prepared. 

A knock on the door interrupted our conversation and Arianna went to open it while I fixed my dress.(​​​​​​​pic above) 

"Oh Zayn, Harry" Arianna smiled and let them in.
Zayn entered and stopped when he saw me, checking me up and down. It felt weird so I cleared my throat and he was back to earth. Harry looked at Zayn and frowned before whispering something in his ears. 
"Oh yeah." Zayn chuckled nervously, turning to Arianna,"Everything is ready. You two can come now." 

Nodding, we got out of the room when Arianna stopped and whispered in my ears,"Someone's got an admirer."

"What do you mean?" I frowned. 
"Oh shut up." She groaned,"I'm talking about Zayn. Last time, he called you beautiful and now! He was checking you out!"

"You and your dumb logics." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh cmon Evelyn!" Arianna frowned,"And besides, you broke up with Anthony so you're free to take a chance."

"I know but... Wait a minute, how do you know that we broke up?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows,"I didn't tell you about it."

"Oh.. Nick told me about it." She answered and I nodded,still not satisfied with her answer.

"So, what do you think?" She smirked, changing the topic.

"What about whom?"

"Zayn!"

"No way! He's my brother's best mate." I pointed out,"Now shut up and let's go."

We walked downstairs and I admired how beautiful everything looked. Liam had only invited Arianna and few of his old school friends. Mom and Dad walked up to me and smiled at me,"Can't believe that you're eighteen now." 

"Don't make me cry now." I laughed, hugging them. 

The rest of the night went in dancing, getting gifts and celebrating my birthday party. What Arianna said about Zayn was turning a little bit right, when I looked at him, he was already looking at me but quickly looked away when he meets my eyes. It felt like I was living a movie script, but I ignored it and let it go.
