Rick was still at my house when I woke up and I'm pretty sure he's moved in and mum hasn't told me. After I'd woken up, I padded softly down the stairs and opened the cupboards. I poured myself some cocoa pops and sat down at the table. At around 11am, I went back upstairs to get dressed.

When I went downstairs again, mum and Rick were in the living room and my bowl was still on the side so I washed it up (being the caring son that I am) and put it away. There was soft murmuring coming from the living room so I tiptoed over towards the door suspiciously, putting my ear up against it. Unfortunately, my life isn't a movie and it didn't make any difference at all so I walked in.

"What are you doing today, Calum?" mum asked as I sat myself down on the sofa and switched the channel over.

"What were you talking about?" I replied to the question with a question which always bugs my mum.

She just stayed silent but Rick spoke up. "We were talking about you. You need to finish your schoolwork by the end of the month. Turn the TV off and go upstairs. Don't come down until you've finished."

I glared at him. He had no right to boss me around, stupid bastard. I grabbed the remote and threw it at the chair so it nearly hit him (but didn't) before walking up the door and pulling it open furiously.

"And Calum?" he added, just before I slammed the door shut. "Don't you ever throw anything at me again."

I rolled my eyes, gave him the finger and slammed the living room door shut. So much for being a caring son.

By dinner time I'd completely finished my maths course for the year. Mum shouted for me to come down but I pretended I hadn't heard her, turning on the Xbox and searching to see if someone was online. Luke popped up, so I connected with him and we started playing Advanced Warfare together.

"How are you?" I turned my headset's microphone on which i'd bought several months before in hope that it would make me more motivated to become a cool gamer like Michael. The only game I can beat him on is Lego Batman, so long as I'm Robin and he takes control of the car chase level. I suck at every other game, especially COD. I suck ass at COD.

Luckily, Luke is as awful as me at games (he actually managed to kill his Nintendog which, according to the man at the repairs shop, is impossible) so it was no surprise when, within 5 minutes, he disappeared from the screen, dead.

"I'm good, how are you?" he replied as I restarted the game.

"I threw the remote at Rick this morning and he got mad so I haven't been downstairs since," I said.

"Dickhead," Luke said, laughing.

"Luke!" Mrs Hemmings' voice could be heard in the background, scolding her son. "I don't tolerate swearing."

"Sorry mum," Luke muttered. "Anyway, how's your girlfriend?"

"Cassidy? She's not my girlfriend," I rushed, turning pink. "How's your boyfriend?"

I could feel Luke's embarrassment radiating through my game's console. "He's ok."

"Good," I replied smugly.

There was some more talking in the background, then some shuffling which was soon replaced by Luke's apologetic voice. "I've got to go for tea. See you, Cal."

Luke disconnected and I sighed. I was hungry seeing as I hadn't eaten since breakfast, but I didn't want to give my mum and Rick the satisfaction of my presence. So I snuck downstairs and crept out of the door quietly. I couldn't remember if I was grounded or not but I didn't really care.

I walked for a while until I wasn't quite sure where I was. Panicking a little, I grabbed my phone from my pocket and dialled Michael's number.

"Hey," I said.

"What's up?" yawned Michael.

"Can you come pick me up? I'm lost. I'm at somewhere called... Baker Street? Do you know where that is?"

"Yeah," he said. "I'll be there in 10."

The line went dead and I sat down on the pavement to wait for him.
