My Cousin's Best Friend

Chapter 11

Alison

"Alison!Hurry up we gotta go!" I hear Calum yelling from downstairs.I may or may not woke up late so I'm rushing to get ready right now."Coming!Give me a sec!" I yelled back.

I applied the last of my light makeup and grabbed my bag then ran downstairs but tripped on the last step.Luckily,Calum was at the bottom of the stairs to catch me."Someone's clumsy today" He says putting me back on my feet."Shut up lets go" I said then we started walking to school."How do you think the date went with Nat and Luke last night?" I asked him."Good,they really like each other.I can see it in the eyes" He said pointing at his eye."I'm just scared....Like I really want them to get together but the reason why I don't is because if things don't work out between them then who's side am I gonna be on?Luke's my cousin and Nat's my best friend.Im just scared I'll make the wrong choice..." I trail off.

"Maybe Luke is feeling the same thing with us." he says.I suddenly remembered what Luke said to me when me and Calum were working on our project and Nat and Luke were doing math."That's what he meant" I whispered."What?"

"Remember when you came over to work on the project?I went upstairs to tell him to be quiet then before I went back down he said that make sure nothing happens between us.Thats what he meant..." I said.Why did he let us date then?Is it because I let him and Nat date?

"Oh" was all he said."I'm just scared...I don't want to have all the pressure if something happens and I'm pretty sure he doesn't want that pressure either." I say."Promise me that if we do date and it doesn't work out...that we'll be still friends?" I asked."Of course.I promise" He says holding up his pinky.I wrap my pinky with his.Both of us smile.

I went to my class."One minute late."the teacher announced."I'll let you off this time."the teacher said.I nodded my head and sat down my chair.While I was reading my textbook,I felt a vibration in my pocket.I pulled my phone out of my pocket and read the text.The text was from Caitlyn,it said she was sick and asked if there was any homework she missed.I didn't text back because the teacher was right behind me so I put my phone under my textbook.

Class ended and I head off to the cafeteria.I saw Nat and Luke sitting beside each other."Hey love birds."I said.They turned around and waved at me.I sat down beside Nat."So how was the date with that idiot."I asked.Nat chucked and Luke rolled his eyes."It was cute and amazing."she said.Calum came and sat down beside Luke."That's nice to hear."I said.Calum got up from his seat and sat beside me instead.

"Did you have a goodnight sleep?"he asked putting his arm around me."Of course because you were there."I said kissing his cheek and he blushed."Awe you really are the cutest Ally-bear."he said pinching my cheeks.My eyes got wide hearing that nickname.He looked me confused and took his hand away from my cheeks."Please don't say that nickname again because my ex use to call me that."I said not using his name and looked down.

"Oh I'm sorry,Al."he apologized."Its fine."I said looking back up."I'll make a new cute nickname for you like Ally Gator."he insisted.I laughed and he also did too."Oh my god guys can you two keep it PG?" Nat says."Why just because you two can doesn't mean we can" I say to her and she playfully rolls her eyes.Luke takes this time to scoot closer to her.She rests her head on his shoulder and he gives her a quick kiss on the top of her head."You two are so cute" Calum says smirking.

"Shut up bro" Luke says to her.I can see Conner and James sending glances over,making me uncomfortable."Guys..." I told them glancing over at their table.They realize and Calum doesn't waste time.He pecks my lips and wraps me even tighter towards him.Clearly he was trying to make Con- my ex jealous.It was working.He turned around to not look at us anymore.I realized that Aleisha and Sofia were sitting with them.They occasionally sends glares over but I ignore them.
