daydreamer [Calum Hood]

Chapter 1

"Luke, seriously I think there's something wrong with me." I said to my bestfriend as he picked his books from his locker. "What was the guy like again?" He asked before shutting his locker close. "Big brown eyes, tall, muscular, tatts--but not too much tatts, slightly curly hair... And big nose." I said detailed. "Hmm... What tatt does he have?" Luke asked again. I looked to him raising my eyebrow. "Why? You might know this guy?" I asked getting curious. "Oh, I don't know! This dude pops into your dream almost everyday!" He said like it's a fact that i should write about myself. But it's true, I can't deny that. "It's also kind of freaking me out." I said truthfully to Luke as we both entered Math class. "Don't worry, you'll forget about it." He laughed as we both took a seat next to each other.

Math class was a blur. Some were sleeping, some were talking or secretly on their phone. Luke was doodling monsters, cars and cartoons in his noteboook. I was in my own world, imagining things and taking little notes. "You're all dismissed!" My teacher said. We all pick our books and rush out of the class. "Want to come over to my house?" Luke asked. "Sure, I'm sure my mom wouldn't mind." I smiled.

I'm glad to have a friend like Luke. His house is close to mine, he would pick me up before school and drive me back home. He's like an older brother, but I'm a couple of months older. Yeah.
"Mom??" Luke called out as he put his car key on the kitchen counter. 1... 2... 3 seconds of silence then Luke walked to the fridge and pick 2 can of coke. He slide the coke passing it to me. I picked it up and open the can. "So, help me with Math homework?" Luke asked with a smirk as he took hie math books out of his bag.

"I don't get a single fuck Chels, like how the-- you know what, forget it, at least I did my homework." He said putting his short pencil down and closed his book. I laughed. "Awh, come on Luke, it's bot so bad, you'll get it later." I said closing mine and shoving it back into my backpack. "Whatever..." He mumbled. We both walked downstairs and a familiar figure stands in the middle of the room. "Hey Ash!" Luke and I greeted him in sync. "Oh hey guys! Chelsea! I didn't know you were here." Ashton smiled creating those little dimples on his cheeks. He hugged me before giving Luke a fist bump. "So what are you doing here Ash?" I asked.
Ashton is our Senior, and Luke's bestfriend. "I came here to take Luke here," he said putting his arms around Luke's neck. "to eat out." He finishes. "Oh, shit i forgot!" Luke sigh shaking his head. "Chelsea, I am so sorry I--" "Hey! Chelsea can come with us!" Ashton said cutting Luke's unfinished sentence. "Can I?" I asked. "Hell yeah! My mom's in your house anyway having a talk." Ashton added. "Oh, cool." I smiled.
"Then let's go!" Luke smiled.

We ended up eating in McDonalds because, we've been driving in circles and our stomach was already screaming for food. I ordered a large fries, and a McNuggets with a Milo. Luke ordered large fries, double cheese burger with coke. Ashton decided to have the same thing as mine, but with a coke as a drink. We pick a seat which is near the window. "Thanks for paying Ash." I thanked him. "No problem lil' sister." He smiled. "You didn't pay for mine." Luke pouted. "Aw, cheer up buddy, i'll pay for you next time!" Ashton said patting Luke's back.

After we're done eating Ashton decided to drive me home before going back to Luke's place. "Thanks for the dinner and the drive home." I thanked them after shutting the car door. "No problem Chelsea!" Ashton said peeking down. "See you tomorrow Luke." I said giving him a fist bump. "See ya'" he smiled. I watched the car drove away and i went inside. "Mom! I'm home!" I shouted kicking off my shoes. "Oh hey honey!" My mom appeared from the kitchen. "Where have you been?" She asked. "Went to Luke's place, then went to McDonalds with Luke and Ashton." I said giving her a quick hug. "I heard Ash's mom was here." I said walking to the kitchen following the smell of sweet cookies. I was right. A plate of cookies was resting on the top of the kitchen bar. "Yes, actually." She chuckled. I took one piece and took one bite. "What were you guys talking about?" I asked. "Well, she asked if Ashton can stay the night here for 2 nights only though." She said walking towards the sink. "Oh... And?" I asked for her answer. "Well, i said yes, since Ashton is like your big brother and Luke's bestfriend--and i hope you won't do anything stupid together." She added. "Mom, please I'm seventeen, i can take care of myself, and you'll be here." I said taking another piece of the cookie. "Yeah..." She sigh. She turned on the sink and washed the cups and plates. "I'm going to take a shower." I said walking up the stairs. "Do you have any homework?" Mom asked. "Yeah, and i did it at Luke's already!" I shouted as i reached the top of the stairs. I got into my bedroom and dropped my backpack on the floor. Pulled my socks off my foot and walked towards the bathroom. I stripped down and hopped into the shower.

I decided to wear a dark blue shorts and a pair of grey shirt. I pulled my brown long hair to a ponytail and brush my teeth and wash my face. As i walked out of my room, with a towel in my hand, drying my face, my phone rings. I put my towel away and looked to the clock hanging above the TV.
Who's calling at 9.30?!
"Hello?" I picked up without looking at the called ID. "Chelsea, Luke told my about your dreams lately!" Ashton said. I can feel my cheeks redding and him creeping a smile. "I'm going to kill Luke." I said through my gritted teeth. Ashton laughed. "Don't, Luke's my cuddle penguin." Ashton said. "Well, i don't care." I said as i plopped myself to the bed. "Oh yeah, my mom said i'm staying at your house while she's gone." He added. "Yeah, my mom told me." I said as i sat up. "Oh yeah, what was the boy look like again? Well, if you remember." He asked. "Tall, muscular, tatted, slightly curly hair, big brown eyes... Big nose?" I told him. "Do you remember what one of the tattoo's looked like?" Ashton asked. I stare blankly at the white ceiling above me, remembering one of the tatt I remember.

"A number." I snapped out of my thoughts. "A what?" Ashton asked. "A number, it's in Roman though...i think." I said. "What number?" He asked again. "M-M-X-I-I?" I said, but it came out more like a question. "2012?" Ashton askes. "I don't know, I don't learn Romanic number." I said. "Is Romanic even a word Chels?" He laughed. "I don't know." I giggled. "So what do you know?" He asked again. "My dreams are starting to spook me up." I said. Ashton burst out laughing, i joined him. "Okay then, I'll see you tomorrow Chelsea." Ashton said. "Okay, Ash." I smiled.
"Okay." He said.
"Okay." I chucked.
"Okay." He said again.
"Okay." I said trying to hold my laugh a bit.
"Maybe 'Okay' can be our 'always'." He said.
"No." I said flatly before we both laughed. "Okay, goodnight Ashton Fletcher Irwin!" I said with his full name. He laughed. "Goodnight Chelsea Anna Xaviera Ramona Young." He said.
"Night Ash." I smiled.
"Night Chelsea." He said before i hung up.

I put my phone down and started to think. Something tells me that Ashton might know something. I pushed that thought out of my head and decided to o to bed. I charged my phone and shut the lights off. I got under the covers and fell asleep.
