I closed the door behind Calum once he stepps through.

"You okay? You look.. out of it" Calum asks with a worried look.

"No, I'm good. Just.. I don't know really." I sit on the couch and Calum follows. He turns to me and asks, "Did something happen?"

"Not really but Harry stopped by right before you showed up."

He lifts his eyebrows in surprise. "What did he want? And how does he know you live here?"

I laugh a little and say, "I dont really know.. but he came and told me to turn down my music because he could hear it all the way down the street."

"Wait, he lives down here?" Calum asks looking confused.

 "Yea I guess so, I saw him yesterday. I think he lives like seven houses down on the other side of the street."

"Oh wow, I didn't know that. Do you umm.. do you like him..? Like as a friend?" Calum carefully asks with a hint of curiosity and hurt behind his eyes. Why would he be hurt if I did? Maybe because he bullies him my stupid conscience tells me, but I think she might be right. I don't know why else he would be hurt.

"Me? Like him? No thanks. He's a total dick, he doesn't deserve my time." I say with confidence hoping Calum believes me.

He smiles and says, "Good because he doesn't deserve someone as beautiful as you, you're too good for him Mia." He looks into my eyes searching for something but looks away. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make that weird..."

"It's okay, don't worry about it. Thank you for the compliment." I smile at him hoping it'll cheer him up some.

"So... What are we doing today?"

"Umm, I actually have no clue. I didn't think that far ahead." I laugh realizing I hadn't thought about that at all.

"Alright, how about a movie then?"

"Sounds good"

Calum gets up to pick a movie and ends up choosing a scary one. I grab a blanket and make some popcorn. We both sit under the blanket and watch Sinister with the popcorn in between us. We finish the popcorn within the first 10 minutes of the movie so I set it on the end table and scoot closer to him.

In the movie the main guy finds a box of old tape and plays them on this camera. Every time that scary Sinister guy would show up I hold onto Calum's arm and put my face against his shirt. He ends up putting his arm around me so when I get scared I hold onto his side instead of his arm. I never noticed how good he smelled until now but he smells amazing. Towards the middle of the movie I noticed he wasn't even watching the screen, he was watching me instead. He has a slight smirk played upon his lips and every time I catch him looking, he turn away trying to act like he was watching the movie the whole time. This went on about the whole time until the end of the movie and when I look up at him, he's sleeping. He looks cute when he sleeps. His mouth is partially open and his eyes slightly move in his sleep.

I turn the TV on and watch an episode of Friends while I stay layed in Calum's arms. I know it sounds creepy but I watched him sleep a little until I fall asleep as well.

...

A few hours must have passed by the time I wake up. I sit up a little but Calum is still sleeping peacefully, I don't want to wake him so I just stay in his arms. I got lost in my thoughts thinking about how everything is going to go once school starts. I'm going to be a senior and everything is going to be new here. I'm glad I made friends before school started otherwise I would have had to make friends there and I don't know if I'd be friends with Calum and everyone else I'm friends with now and that would suck. I really like hanging out with Calum, bowling yesterday was so fun except Harry ditching us and making me pay.

I hardly even noticed my mom come through the door because I was to focused in my thoughts, but once I did it was already to late. She walked into the living room and once she saw me and Calum, her eyebrows rose, her cheeks flared and her jaw tightened.

How could I let this happen?

"AMIA ANNE JOHNSON! What do you think your doing?" Calum wakes up to the sound of my mother screeching voice and looks a little scared not really knowing what's going on. He turns to me but all I can look at is my mother.

"What?" I unintentionally have attitude in my voice and she definitely notices but thinks it's on purpose.

I so cannot handle this right now.
