Chapter 15:

Luek is such a fukcboy

"So, you and Calum?" I asked Lian and she immediately blushed. I laughed.

Lian and I are having a legit night in at my house, with the boys downstairs trying not to intrude and hoping not to walk in on us talking about periods. Books and papers were strewn all over my bed as I lie on my front, Lian sitting cross legged in front of me as she hastily answered some homework.

"What do you mean me and Calum?" She asked timidly, fiddling with her pencil.

"What's up with you two?" I asked her, momentarily discarding the trigonometry problem staring me in the face.

"I don't know, I mean he's nice, and he makes me feel all like, happy and light, which I haven't felt in a while." She shrugs "he just makes me happy. I don't know. He's way out of my league anyway."

"Well," I said "I think, he likes you a lot."

"I don't think so," she said and smiled at me, I can see the sadness behind them "boys like that, they don't- you know."

"Oh come on I know you guys talk a lot!" I said and she shook her head with a small smile.

"What about you and Harry? Huh?" She said flipping the tables and I felt myself blush this time. "Ha!" She pointed out in victory and laughed.

"Yeah, I mean he's alright." I said and my thoughts immediately drift to Luke.

"How was the date?" She asked me.

"It was awesome." I said honestly "he even said he loved me."

"THAT'S A HOMERUN! Oh my god what did you say?! Did you two kiss or make out or have this mating ritual o-"

"Shut up Lian." I said and threw a pillow in her face.

"No but seriously what did you do?" She asked me, hugging the pillow to her chest.

"I freaked out." I said "I just- froze. I didn't know what to do or say.." I said honestly.

"Oh, but he's into you right?" Lian asked.

"Well, yeah I guess." I said and fiddled with my pen.

"Then what are you afraid of?" Lian asked me.

"Well, I'm a danger to everybody." I said truthfully, letting my mind drift to Luke and speak for itself "every single person I care for ends up hurt, and I don't want to hurt Harry."

"Oh you so love him." Lian said and sighed, leaning back.

"Oh yeah?" I asked her "well then you're so whipped with Calum."

"Am not!" She complained and we laughed.

"What if it doesn't work out?" I asked her, referring to me and Harry "will you be there to pick up the pieces?"

"Every last one of them," Lian said with a small smile.

"Ditto."

"Okay, homecoming, hit me with all the girly shit you know." Calum said as we walked to school.

"Whoa," I said in surprise "why are you interested all of a sudden? Interested in asking someone?"

"Well if Michael doesn't force me to watch you and take you as my date then yeah I am interested in asking someone." Calum said, kicking a pebble in his way.
