Unpredictable

Chapter 4

Bruns shook me softly while giggling, "Karma. Karmaaaa. You're sleep talking again." I gently opened my eyes and looked at her quizzically. "I have?" She chuckled, "Yep. Wanna see the video?" I laughed. Bruns had always filmed me sleep talking. I always looked so stupid, rambling on and on about things like kangaroos playing soccer or flowers competing in the X Factor. She nodded and flipped out her phone. We laughed at my messy hair when the video popped up. "Bruns, where's Calum?" I heard myself groan. My eyes widened. My thoughts immediately went blank as I listened. I heard Bruns saying through giggles in the video, "What was that Karma?" I saw myself mumble, "Calum. Where's Calum? I need Calum." "And why do you need Calum, Karma?" I widened my eyes and watched with anticipation. "Because I need my sunshine." Bruns was now laughing hysterically both in the video and beside me. Bruns fake gasped. "What? I thought that was me?!" I saw myself sleepily laugh and shake my head. "You are, but Calum is mine." Bruns quizzically asked , "What do you mean?" I saw myself kinda smack my lips and laugh, "Silly Bruns. Me and Cal are in love." Then Bruns stopped the video and glanced over at me, laughing at my horrified face. "I would play the rest of the video, but it's basically you going on and on about a particular Thursday and a particular kiss," she said raising her eyebrows. I blushed on the spot. "Uh...uhm..I can explain." She laughed, shaking her head. "Don't worry. You already did." I blushed. "Oh," I stated. Bruns laughed. "You're so cute!" she squealed while playfully hitting my arm. I laughed. I was so relieved. I thought she was going to be really mad at me for not telling her. But all that relief soon went away when she said, pointing her finger at me, "Now little missy. I talked to Luke. You are going to their next concert, whether you like it or not." Oh dear God. "What? No! They're leaving to go to the tour in America next week!"She did an evil grin. Oh no. "Exactly. Their last concert in Australia until they get back from their tour is tonight in Brisbane. And I've already told Luke we're going." I groaned. "You're kidding me right?" She said excitedly, "Nope! But it starts at 8 so we have to leave in about an hour." My mouth dropped. "WHAT ITS 7 AM?!" She laughed. "Brisbane's 10 hours from here and that's only if there's room on the Pacific highway, considering it is football season and all." I moved my lips into a pout and begged, "But we could leave at 9 and make it." She smirked, "Yeah but you have to get ready. Don't you wanna look good for Calum sweetie?" I rolled my eyes. "AND Luke wants us there an hour early." I sighed. "Okay, let me get ready." Bruns laughed. "You take forever. If you think I'm letting you get out of this you're wrong. I'm doing your hair and makeup. But I will allow you to pick out your outfit." I said, "Well, how thoughtful of you." She laughed and added, "With assistance of course." Oh god. We walked over to my closet and I grabbed my All Time Low muscle tank and ripped jeans. I held it up in the air. "What about this?" She shook her head. "No, Karma. You're going for a flirty outfit to make up for your anti-flirty personality," she said matter of factly. I put my hands on my hips. "It is flirty! It's a tank, that shows like my entire arm!" I protest while doing my awkward hand gestures. Bruns rolled her eyes, "Yeah, if you're a nun." She pulled out my black skater skirt and matching black caged bralette she bought be last Christmas. I groaned, "Nooooo. That's a beach shirt." She rolled her eyes. "Just stop. It's cute and it looks adorable on you." I really can't stand her sometimes. I stomped my foot and retorted, "There is no way I'm wearing that to go see my best friends, note that I said best friends and not frat boys, perform. I would look like a slut." Bruns laughed and said , "Okay," and put them back in my closet. She thumbed through almost the whole thing until the end. She laughed. "Oh Karmaaaaaa." "What" I said in an obviously annoyed tone. She said, "Look over." When I looked at her she had a big goofy smile and was dangling my "lol ur not Calum Hood" shirt while giggling. "Why do you even have this?" I laughed. "Cal gave it to me as birthday present," I said, smiling at the memory. She said, "you're wearing it tonight by the way." "BRUNS! NO! YOU CANT MAKE ME!" She laughed while twirling her hair, "Actually I can or I'll twirl my hair just like this all night." "BRUNS!!" She said smiling, still twirling her hair, "You know what great about being best friends with someone? Knowing all their pet peeves." I groaned, "Fine." She laughed. I asked me, "Okay okay as long as I can wear it with my ripped jeans." She held up my light wash ripped denim shorts in her other hand. "Actually I was thinking shorts instead." I laughed and shook my head. "anything to make you shut up." She quickly did my hair and makeup, pulling it up into a messy bun because she gave up on straightening it and did winged eyeliner, foundation, neutral eyeshadow, and mascara. To be honest it looked really good. When she was done with it, I actually gasped in the mirror. I actually felt pretty. Bruns on the other hand looked stunning. She had done matching makeup except adding red lip stick and straightened her hair and was wearing a black cropped halter saying "No Apologies" in white cursive letters, ripped jeans, and a black beanie with "FALL OUT BOY" written on it in small while letters. I shouted, "Okay! Time to go!" and dragged her into the car. "Well isn't someone excited?" she chuckled. "I thought you didn't want to go??" she questioned, wiggling her eyebrows. I laughed. Once we had hopped into the car and had set off to Brisbane, I admitted it her, "I'm really glad you did this. I've been wanting to take Luke up on his offers, but I just couldn't. I miss the boys. I'm really excited about today. Yeah, I'm a little nervous about seeing Cal but he and I are so close. I mean, he'll understand, right?" She looked over at me with a small slanted smile almost in the shape of a smirk evident on her face. "I have a feeling he will."
