Creep

Chapter 1

"What about this one?" my best friend Tima exclaims, holding yet another dress to her body. This one was bright pink and pooffed our at the bottom. The look of it made me crack up.

"That looks like something a four year old would wear to a princess, dress-up party." I giggle eyeing the dress. What teenager would actually wear this?

"Why is prom even this early? There's still like a month left of school. And why are we so last minute? The dance starts in like 4 hours?" I wonder. Scanning the racks of dresses.

"You're overthinking again Fall. I swear you're so annoying." Tima mumbles, calling me by the nickname she gave me. My name is actually Autumn but when we first met, she forgot my name and thought it was Fall, so the name stuck. I laugh sarcastically before giving her my typical 'shut up or I'll kill you' face.

I continue down the isle of dresses but get distracted when I see a gorgeous girl scanning the dresses opposite from isle I was looking in. Next to her was stood an uninterested, buff who looked similar to her. His defined triceps and biceps had tattoos on them but I couldn't make out what they were, since his arms were folded.

That just makes his muscles look even bigger.

My eyes slowly travel up his arms to his face and am left shocked when I see him staring at me emotionlessly. I only then notice it's Calum Hood. I don't really know him but he's in the same year as me. I look away quickly, not wanting to seem like a creep and after a while find a perfect dress. It's a white and turquoise, strapless dress. The top is white and lacey and from the stomach down its turquoise. I look at it in awe before turning to Tima, who mirrors my expression.

I quickly skip to the changing room and hang up the dress. Just as I take of my shirt I hear someone whisper yell; "Just give me the goddamn dresses you noob!" A female voice orders frustratedly.

"How? There's like three of them and I'm not opening the door for the world to see me sister half naked!" A male voice replies.

"Then just come inside and close the door! Think for once!" The female voice mumbles. At this point I'm just taking off my pants and leave them pooled on the floor, exposing my black half lace underwear and bra.

At that moment somebody opens the door of the changing room and closes the door behind them. I shriek loudly and jump back, trying to grab my clothes but drop them instead. I look up petrified when I see Calum looking down at me.

"Wow hey there." He says awkwardly trying to keep his eyes on my face. "Uh Autumn right? Uh I'm sorry I didn't mean to uh... yeah I'm here with my sister and she uhm... she as-" he starts rambling before I cut him off trying but failing to cover my body.

"Yeah... Hi Calum. Do you mind like leaving? I'm sorta half naked here." I remind him awkwardly.

"Oh right." He acknowledges, his face bright red. He walks backwards, shamelessly looking at my chest, and as he turns around he bangs his head into the door. "Ahh..." He whines rubbing his forehead. "There's a door." He points out looking at me and pointing at the door. I nod awkwardly before he stumbles out the door. I stand in confusion of what just happened but get pulled out of my thoughts by the female voice shrieking; "YOU WHAT?!" I press my ear to the door to hear the full conversation.

"I didn't mean to! Her changing room is right next to yours and I thought you were in the other changing room." Then they started whispering so I gave up on listening. I pick the dress off of the hanger and try it on. I smile at my reflection when I see that it fits perfectly.

"Ti?" I call and hear footsteps approach the changing room. She opens the door and stares at me confusedly.

"Am I hallucinating or did Calum Hood just walk out of your changing room." She whisper yells at me.
