-Weekend-

Alison

It was now the weekend meaning that Calum and I had to go to the gym today. I did my usual morning routine and pack my gym stuff (shorts, sports bra, running shoes and water bottle.) I got a text from Calum telling me that he is coming on his way over here at my place. I went downstairs to the living room. I sat on the couch and went on my phone, tapping in that app called Tumblr. While waiting for 10 minutes, there was a knocked at the door. I got my Nike bag and open the door revealing Calum. "Ready to go?" he asked.

"Yeah," I said closing and locking the door. We walked for a while finally seeing the gym. We walked in showing our membership card to the person in the counter and went our way to the lady and men's locker room. I went in and dropped my bag on the bench.I change in my workout clothes and put put the ones I wore in the bag. I put my bag in the locker and locked it. I went in the gym seeing Calum with no shirt on. Gosh darn he looks smoking hot.

I noticed I've been staring for a while and he let out a chuckle. Calum looked at me for a while, looking at somewhere his not supposed to look. As I headed to him, I slapped him on the arm.I covered myself and letting out another chuckle. "Okay let's get started," he said clapping his hand. We went on the thread mill but as I went, I put one of my earphones on and started running on the speed of 5.

I run for about 15 minutes.Calum looked at me. "Come on Ali I know you could run at least on the speed of 8," he said while stilling running. I did what I have to do and be competitive. I started running again but this time faster. I got kinda tired and stopped to take a drink.Calum also stopped and got a drink. "So what next?" I asked. "Let's do some push-ups and sit ups," he said. I nod and we start doing some cardio.

-1 hour later-

"I'm tired as hell," Calum says breathing heavily. "Same," I said taking a drink out of my water bottle. "We really are lazy asses," He chuckles. "Let's grab some lunch," I said and he nods. He headed to a restaurant and ordered some food. I ordered a light lunch since I don't wanna gain the calories that I just lost. I ordered a salad with a chicken sandwich. Calum ordered a ham sandwich with fries. "Fatty," I said to him. "Hey! Fries are healthy," He pouts. "Keep telling yourself that Hood," I said chuckling. Then an annoying voice interrupted. Wait... i know that voice. "Oh my god your such a fatass Sof," I hear that voice. "Oh my god," I muttered. "Great. Now we're gonna have to sneak out of here without Sofia and Aleisha seeing us," Calum groans.

After we finished our food we started trying to walk out the door without them noticing. Which is hard because their table is close to the door. We looked the other way from them then ran out. "Wow that was easy," Calum chuckles. "Surprisingly," I mutter. "Let's go," He says grabbing my hand sending butterflies in my stomach. "Calum? Alison?" Someone says. Crap.

"Hey," I fake smiled. "What are you two doing here?"

"It's none of your business Sofia," Calum spat. "We were just trying to be friendly," They said. I rolled my eyes. "We'll be going now," Calum says tightening the grip on my hands then walking away. "Wait," Sofia says. We turn around and I said "What?"

"Do you wanna hang out sometime Calum?" She winks. "No," Calum coldly says causing her to frown. "Hey where's Luke?" Aleisha says. When will they just shut up. "Spending time with his new girlfriend," I said. She looked at me with wide eyes. "He has a new girlfriend? Who?" She asks. "My best friend," I muttered. She laughs evilly and says "Yeah that's not gonna turn out well."

"Look. I know you have a thing for him but he doesn't like you back. You had your chance and cheated on him," I said to her. "It was a drunk mistake," She says defending herself. "Everything is," I mumbled then start to walk away. "I'm gonna get him back. He'll be crawling back to me," I hear her say. "Bitches," Calum mutters. "Yeah they really are," I said as we start to walk home.
