who

My reply letter for Friday was simple. We had 17 days until prom.

Hey
I won't hate you for telling me who you are. I can't think of a lot of people who know my locker, who I talk to, who I'm close enough with that they'd see my cuts. Just like Ash, Michael, and Calum. Ash has Kaitlyn now and Michael has EmaLee. So unless youre Calum, I have no fucking idea. I'm sorry.

But if you are Calum, I like you. Just so you know. I don't care if this isn't Calum. I don't care who knows i like him. Ive liked him for a while.

Please tell me who you are. I wont hate you I promise. Not after everything you've done.

Okay. Thanks.

I put the note in my locker on Monday, a bit nervous. Everyone was squealing because we only had two weeks until prom.

I wanted to cry as everyone was talking about what they were gonna wear and what time they were going and who they were gpimg with and how they were going. They were all so excited.  I had nothing to be excited for.

Michael and Ashton came up to me, Kaitlyn with Ashton, they were holding hands and walking close together. Eew.

"Hey guys. Where's Em?" I asked. Michael sighed. "Shes out sick." He answered. "That sucks. I hope she gets better soon." I said. He nodded. "She will. Shell be back on Wednesday most likely." He told me. "That's good." I nodded. "Yeah" he said. "I'm sorry shes sick" I told him. "Nah. Shell be okay" he said. I nodded.

I heard a giggle and looked over at Ash and Kaitlyn. Their faces were so close. Gross. He kissed her gently and they both giggled. Ugh.

"So um, you guys are official?" I asked. They both looked at me. "Yeah" Ashton answered, kissing her again.  I sighed. "Congrats. You guys are so cute together." I told them, doing my very best to fake a smile. It didn't quite work. But nobody noticed, as usual. "Thanks" ash said, pulling her closer.

"Yep" I mumbled. Michael looked uncomfortable, but not nearly as uncomfortable as I felt. "So Michael. Are you and Em official?" I asked. He smiled bigger than I've ever seen him smile. Or anyone smile.

"Yes. I asked her Saturday night" he almost squealed. "Why didnt you tell me?" I asked. He shrugged. "Im so happy for you dude. You two are perfect together." I told him, trying harder this time to fake a smile and barely making the corners of my lips rise.

"Thanks. Now you need a girlfriend." He said. Wow. "Michael" I said. He looked at me. "Gay, remember?" I asked. He nodded. "Okay" I said. "Just be unsingle." He smiled. "Harder than it sounds. Nobody wants me." I said. He shook his head. "Not true. I know who likes you. " he said. "Who?" I asked, sounding uninterested.

"Luke!" I heard someone call. Calum. Fuck.

He caught up to me. "Can we talk?" He asked me.
