A/N: Reminder- Marcel has Harry's voice. I said that in an earlier chapter, but I think some of you forgot. :)

Marcel's POV (school the next day)

Cami and I are walking through the halls together to our next class.

“Can't I have a hint?” she asks.

“Nope, it's a surprise!” I tell her for the hundredth time.

She sighs, “But I wanna know! Please!” She pouts her lips and pretends to be sad.

I put my hand over her eyes, “Don't look at me like that,” I say, giggling.

“Fine, fine. I'll wait. I don't even know what to wear! You've told me nothing.”

“Wear whatever you want.”

“What if I want to wear overalls?”

“I'm sure you'll still look beautiful.”

She smiles. I see Niall across the hall, going to his locker.

“I have to go talk to someone,” I tell Cami, kissing her cheek quickly, “I'll see you at lunch.”

I run towards Niall before Cami gets a chance to follow me.

“Okay. Uh, bye!” I hear Cami say behind me.

“Hey, Niall. I need your help,” I tell him once I'm near him.

He closes his locker and smiles, “With what?”

“I'm planning a surprise for Cami...”

He smirks, “A surprise, hmm? What kind of surprise?”

“Well, it's her birthday. And I need your help. I need your band's help too.”

*

“The guys should be downstairs,” Niall says, pointing to a set of stairs, “I can hear them, so they're definitely down there.”

I'm really nervous. Niall said he'd help me with the surprise, so now I'm at his house to plan it. I don't know these boys too well, how do I know I can trust them? I doubt they're rude, but you never know...

I quietly walk downstairs while Niall gets some food. I stand at the end of the stairs, watching all the boys talk.

Liam, Zayn, Louis.

I need to remember they're names. I just don't remember who's who. I only know Louis. Zayn has the darker hair, right?

I should go home. This is a stupid idea. I can't do this. They won't want to help. They haven't noticed me yet, I could just run up the stairs and go home. No one would know. Now's my chance. My palms are sweaty and my heart is racing. I need to go home, I can't-

“Marcel?” Louis asks, looking over at me, “When'd you get here?”

The rest of the boys look at me and the room goes silent.

I clear my throat, “Uh, hi. Um, Niall's, uh, upstairs getting, um, food.” My throat is so dry. Water. I need water.

Why am I so nervous? It's just three boys.

I haven't been in a room with three boys without getting beat up or made fun of...

They probably all think I'm a loser. How could I ever think they'd want to help me? I'm so stupid.

“What are you doing over there? Come and join us!” Louis says, walking over to me. He puts his arm around my shoulders and whispers in my ear, “Don't be nervous. They're nice lads.”

I slowly nod, “Yeah... Okay...”

Louis leads me over to where they are and I sit down on the couch. I fold my hands in my lap and twiddle my thumbs.

“I'm Liam and that's Zayn. Nice to finally meet you!”

I nod, “Nice to meet you too...”

Niall comes downstairs with a bag of chips and soda. He plops down in a been bag chair and munches on his snack.

“So, are you here to watch the band or just hangout?” Louis asks.

“Actually, um... I need your help with something...” I say. My voice is finally coming back and returning to it's normal state.

They are look at eachother with confused expressions.

“Cami, my girlfriend, you know her... Well it's her birthday and-”

“It's her birthday?! Happy birthday Cami!” Louis says excitedly.

I giggle, “You can tell her that tomorrow, if you guys want to help me...”

“Well, what do you want us to do? If it's not too hard, I'm sure we could do it!” Liam says.

I smile. They seem genuinely nice. I've never met boys like this.

“I'm surprising her. I want the night to be... magical I guess... I need someone to pick her up at 6:00 tomorrow night.”

“I can do that!” Niall says with his mouthful.

“Okay, great. I'll write out directions for you. Then, I need music. And that's where you all come in. I have a list of songs for you guys to play. But if you don't want to do it, I understand. I'll just play a CD or something. You probably all have plans on Friday night...”

“No, it sounds fun! We'll definitely do it! Right, boys?” Liam says.

They all nod and smile.

“Sounds great!” Louis says.

“So what do you have planned?” Liam asks.

“A lot,” I say, smiling.

After I explain my plan for the night, they all agree to help me. I can't believe they're all so kind. I never thought they'd say yes.

“Cami's gonna love it!” Niall tells me.

“Thank you so much for doing all this. And remember, do not tell Cami. It's a surprise!” I tell them.

“You got it. No telling Cami,” Louis says.

We all stop talking when we hear the doorbell ring.

“Who the heck is that?” Niall says, running upstairs. He opens the door and I hear a familiar voice.

“Cami, um, what are you doing here?!” Niall says loudly. He looks downstairs with wide eyes.

Uh oh.

Cami can't know about this! She can't know that I'm here!

Louis looks over at me frantically.

“What do we do?” Liam whispers.

“I don't know!” Louis shrieks.

“Shhh!” Zayn says.

“Closet! Go in the closet!” Liam says.

I run to the closet and open the door. Everything comes tumbling down.

“What was that?” I hear Cami ask.

“Um, nothing. Why don't we go upstairs,” Niall says. He sounds nervous.

“Why? I see Liam downstairs. Hi, Liam!” she says.

He waves and runs upstairs.

“Hey, Cami! I have something to, um, show you!” He pushes Cami upstairs.

“Hurry!” he whispers, before following her.

“What do we do?! She's probably hear to watch you guys rehearse!” I tell Louis and Zayn.

“There's nowhere you can hide!” Louis says. He bites his thumbnail nervously.

“What about behind the couch?” Zayn says.

“Yeah! Yeah!” Louis says.

“No, no. I can't fit behind a couch!” I tell them.

“Well, today you're gonna have to.”

“I'm 6 feet tall! I'm way too big!”

“Well, find a way to shrink!”

He shoves me behind the couch. and I'm squished against the wall. Louis throws a blanket over me, “Don't move, don't talk, don't even breathe!”

“She's coming!” Zayn says.

“Act natural!”

“Hi, Cami!” Louis screams, way too excitedly.

Way to go, Louis. That's natural alright.

“Hi, Louis. Someone's excited!” Cami says.

“I haven't seen you in so long!”

I can hear people sit on the couch.

“Cami, why don't you sit over here?” I hear Zayn say. He must be leading her away from the couch.

“Where is he?” Niall whispers. He must be sitting on the couch.

I feel Louis smack my head. Ouch.

“How'd he fit back there?” Niall says.

“I have no idea. You're doing good, Marcel,” Louis whispers.

It feels like I'm behind the couch forever. When will Cami ever leave? They've been talking for a long time. I just want her to go home. I'll be crippled if I stay back here any longer. My back is cramping and my foot has fallen asleep.

Wait, why is Cami even here?

Louis seems to read my mind, “So, Cami why are you here?”

“I'm here to talk about Marcel.”

What's Cami going to say about Marcel? Comment what you think!
