Calum & Hope

Chapter 1: Mackenzie Jones

They walk past holding hands. Calum Hood and this girl Mackenzie Jones, they look so perfect together like they are meant to be. I never knew he went out with her. Calum waves at me and I feel my heart shatter, this is the first time I've seen them together. As soon as they have walked past I burst into tears, words cannot describe how much I love that boy, he's all I ever think about he completes me and he has no idea. I run home and write in my diary

Dear Diary,
I saw Calum in town with Mackenzie, I knew he liked her but I thought she was too old for him and wouldn't go out with him but I thought wrong he loves her and there isn't a thing I can do :( I love Calum in ways I never thought were possible. Me and Calum aren't even close friends we share a best friend (Michael Clifford) and he sits in front of me in Biology but that's about it. Michael knows I like Calum but he hasn't told him because he said I would get hurt if Calum even knew. Me and Calum do talk in class and I have his number but we aren't close close. I wish Calum would just hold me, hold me closer than he's ever did before. I've devoted the past year to trying to get him to notice me but he never went out with anyone until now and it kills me I hate loving him but I cannot stop. I'm going to watch a movie and then go to sleep. Good night Diary.
........
I wake up and to go to school I've got double biology last so I get to see Calum. I walk into school and sit down with my friends, Calum sits in the same bit as me as Michael is my best friend and his friends follow.
"Hey hope" Michael says
"Hey Michael, how was your weekend" I say
"Erm can I talk to you for a minute" Michael says.
We go to the side and he says
"I've had a shit weekend Hope, I was meant to be meeting Calum and Luke but they both ditched me"
"I saw Calum in town holding hands with Mackenzie" I say
"Oh shit I feel for you Hope I know how much you like Calum but trust me he's better off not knowing you like him, if I'm honest you shouldn't even talk to him after what happened in the summer"
.........
My mind flashes back to the summer.
I was in Calum's house with Michael we were close for a week. We all sat on Calum's bed watching a movie and Calum pulled me close to him, I felt so happy we were spooning and Michael was at the end just giving me smiles when Calum wasn't looking. Michael left the room and Calum kissed me on the forehead. After I got home I told Michael and he spoke to Calum and Calum said it meant nothing and he would never go out with me but he doesn't know I like him.
.......
"Yeah true but I can't help it" I say.
"I feel so sorry for you but Calum isn't going out with Mackenzie" Michael says.
"Why isn't he?" I ask.
"Mackenzie is a stone cold bitch who flirts with everyone and I keep bringing up that she's Luke's cousin so he should never touch her" Michael says.
"True but I don't think luke would care" I say.
"He might not but I do" Michael says
"Okay but he still flirts with her and I hate that she's at this school" I say.
"Luke said she was dropping out I think she just needs her leavers forms signed and then she can go but I'll see you in biology later I think Miss Ponde is filling in today so come sit with me in biology" Michael says
"Okay Michael see you later" I say.
