So Close but So Far Away

Chapter 6

Aspen

Michael ended up staying the night, it was pretty late when we finished dinner, so dad told him to stay. Calum invited to hang out with him at the mall today, so I decided to bring Mason and Michael with me.

We got out of the car and went inside. I recognized few faces from school and smiled at them. We went to the restaurant that Calum told us to go to. We made our way to the table Calum was sitting and greeted him.

"Hellooooooooo!!!" I greeted.

"Hey Aspen, Michael and Mason." Calum waved.

"So what do you wanna talk about?" I asked.

"Well, one of Amanda's allies won't stop clinging onto me and she's fucking obsessed with me." Calum said making those weird hand gestures causing us to laugh.

"What're you gonna do about it then?" Mason said, sipping his drink.

"Well, I think you deserve it." Michael bickered.

"I do not!" Calum argued.

"Yes you do." I joked and he looked at me in disbelief.

"Do you even know how traumatizing her face is??" Calum looked at me and I shrugged. I hear heels clicking behind me and getting closer and closer. Calum looked at me and at the person behind me and gulped. Soon I felt some liquid being poured on my head, I gasped at the contact. No one fucking messes with my hair.

"What the actual fuck did I do now??" I half-yelled, standing up and meeting the-bitch-that-poured-water-on-my-hair's eyes. I smirked, seeing it was Kimberly, Amanda's ally.

"Stay away from my Cally-bear, you witch!" I laughed at the nickname she made for Calum and went to the counter of the restaurant. I heard Calum yelling for me, Mason telling him that he doesn't need to worry about me and Kimberly's rants to Calum.

"Uhm can I ask a pitcher of water please?" I asked the worker politely and she nodded. My hair is still soaked from the water.

"Here you go." The waiter said, placing the pitcher in front of me, I took a quick glance at Kimberly and she's still ranting her head off.

'Keep her busy.' I mouthed to Calum and he nodded. I payed for the drinks that they ordered and told the cashier to keep the change. I grabbed the pitcher and slowly made my way behind Kimberly, opened the pitcher and poured the water on her head. She squealed and I quickly placed a $10 bill on the table.

"Run!" I said and they quickly got off their chairs and ran. When Kimberly was out of sight, we laughed our heads off and high-five each other.

"Man, that was priceless!" Mason said.

"Oh my god, thank you Aspie! She won't stop babbling." Calum complained.

"It was deafening!" Michael agreed.

"There, there, no need to thank me peasants." I giggled.

"We're not your peasants Aspen." Mason rolled his eyes.

"Yeah you are!" I fought.

"No we're not!" They all said in unison.

"Okay, okay! Geez." I said raising my hands in defeat.
