"No Emma, he just leaned in and I just kinda pushed him away." I restated.
"Why?" She asked. We were sitting on my bed and I had just explained to her what had happened between me and Calum yesterday.
"I don't know! I was sick and I didn't want to get him sick. I don't know if I even wanted to kiss him." I ran my hands through my hair.
"Well how do you feel now? Lets call him and get it on!"
"No! God no!" I exclaimed.
She laughed and tucked some of her long brown hair behind her ear. "I'm kidding. Calm down."
I smiled at her. "Loser."
"That's you." She nudged my shoulder.
"Sure." I rolled my eyes.
Her face got suddenly serious. "But do you honestly understand that you passed up such a big chance here."
"Oh come on, it's not like he honestly liked me that much." I chuckled.
"Maybe he did. I mean he was going to kiss you."
"Yeah well I was sick and he probably felt bad." I twirled a pice of my hair in between my fingers.
"Stop putting yourself down! I am ninety nine percent sure that he wanted to kiss you." She put her hand on my knee.
"And whats the other one percent?"
"That he was abducted by aliens and they brainwashed him into kissing you." She laughed.
"This isn't funny you little piece of poop." I shook my head and tried to hold back a smile.
"Yes it is." She giggled. "I think you like him."
"I do not!" I said quickly.
"Then why are you blushing?" She questioned and i felt my cheeks heating up more.
"I don't like him." I mumbled.
"Aw Har it's okay." She smiled.
"Do I like him?" I questioned.
"Yeah baby. You do."
My heart raced and i'm pretty sure I stared sweating. "I like Calum."
"You've gotta tell him!" She smiled wide.
"But I bet he hates me after not kissing him yesterday." I said.
"Well then we can explain that it's a misunderstanding and boom you're dating."
I hid my smile in my hands. "You think he'll understand?"
"Well yeah! It was only yesterday, you'll be fine." She pulled my hands away from my face.
"So what do I say?" My eyes widened.
"Okay so imagine im Calum." She said.
"Um okay. Hi Calum."
"Hey Harlin you look hot today." She said in a deep voice.
I laughed. "And you sound weird, Hood."
"It's a cold." Emma replied.
"Well then we're both sick so I can kiss you now because I like you." I said. I couldn't admit this to Calum. My mind was still fuzzy from having him that close to my lips.
"Yeah lets make out. I love you. Let's have seven kids." Emmas deep man voice snapped me back to the conversation.
"Ew. Im only eight Emma!" I exclaimed, a look of mock horror on my face.
"It's going to be a thing." She nodded. "Do you like Halum or Calin more?"
"Halum." I shook my head.
"Good choice." Emma smiled at me.
"You're so weird." I said giving her a quick hug.
"But you love me!" She replied.
"Unfortunately."

I rummaged through my drawers. Nothing. Absolutely noting. All I had to wear tomorrow was a pair of black jeans and a fall out boy sweatshirt. I groaned and hurried downstairs to the laundry room. There was a few band t-shirts but my fender one was nowhere in sight.
"What are you looking for?" My mom asked.
"Just a shirt for tomorrow." I replied, flashing a smile.
"Okay. Let me know if you need anything."
"Thanks." I mumbled, still rummaging through clothes baskets until I finally found it. The shirt was simple. Just a Fender guitar shirt, but it was still my favorite.
I walked back upstairs and laid it out with a pair of skinny jeans and black vans. I took a deep breath and changed into a baggy t-shirt.
I laid down in bed, wide awake. I thought about what i would say to Calum and how. Once I was semi-satisfied, my eyes started to get heavy.
I fell asleep with the image of calum in my mind.
