Behind the Screens (c.hood)

Carters POV

Maybe I was being just a tad melodramatic. Calum just gets underneath my skin. I know that he doesn't even like my sister, I can tell by the way he doesn't even pay attention to her.

Like, she'll sit there and talk and talk but he doesn't even look at her. Majority of the time his focus stayed on me, and that bothered me.

I look around my room, wondering what there is to do. I grab my laptop and log into Instagram. My eyes widen, my followers has gone up by thousands. Likes, follows, shout outs, tags, comments.

I shake my head, realizing it's all just because I know Calum. When they realize I completely hate him they will unfollow. Oh well.

Looking up the user @/Hood_com.
I see funny text posts.

"Carter!" I hear my mom hiss.

"Yes?" I drag. I already know what this is about.

"Why on earth did you leave CALUM alone? That's rude, especially since-"

"Since what mom? Since he's so big and famous? I don't like him and I don't have a problem with him knowing it," I say, rolling my eyes.

"Don't you talk to me like that. I way just saying that-that he is what could make your sister better, you know? She isn't that happy of a person but she seems happy with him."

"Oh please, mom. She's happy with his money," I say.

"How could you think that about her?"

"You seriously think she's a princess? Look up her social media. She's a complete bitch to everyone unless they can get her somewhere, I don't know how she and I turned out so different."

"I'm not going to listen to this nonsense. Go downstairs and apologize to our guest," I almost laugh, knowing she probably forgot his name.

"Ugh. I don't want to, he's idiotic."

"Do you know him?"

"I know about him."

She shakes her head, "That's not the same thing. You need to realize how much pressure he is going through. All these cameras criticizing every single thing he does. Maybe, he's just insecure and sleeps with girls to feel more secure. All I'm saying is you don't know his story and you don't know him," she pats my thigh and walks out. Not before turning around and saying, "I mean it. Apologize and think about what I said."

I sigh loudly, standing up and walking down our stairs at the slowest rate possible. As I reach the bottom, I nearly slip but catch myself. I'm so graceful.

I see Calum sitting on the chair next to Rosaline.

Clearing my throat I say, "Rose, I need to have a word with calum."

She scoffs and rolls her eyes,"You need my baby for what?"

I hear Calum falsely gag and I chuckle.

"Mom wants me to say something so scat."

She throws her hair over her shoulder and stomps out.

"What do you want me for?" He asks and raises and eyebrow.

"My mom wants me to apologize for being rude or whatever but don't think I actually mean it," I mumble.

"You're not nice are you?" He laughs and I roll my eyes, "why do you always roll your fucking eyes?"

"Cause you annoy the piss out of me," I explain.

"Feeling mutual. Why do you have to be such a bitch?" His eyes show anger.

"I....I'm not" I mutter.

"Yeah what the fuck ever. I'm out bye."
