I sat in my room with my blanket pulled up to my chest, soft music playing through my ears as I read my book.

Focusing has been hard lately, after that guy gave me his number it's been non-stop thinking about him. The way his brown hair was tussled, the deep brown eyes that always seemed to find me, his plump lips I could easily see pressed against mine. It didn't make sense at all. I barely knew the guy, how could he have this effect on me? We had such a small conversation, I wouldn't think it's possible to be under his spell after even just a 5 minute conversation.

I placed my book next to me and pushed pause on my CD player. I pulled my phone out of my back pocket, opened his number that I had recently saved to my phone, and I just stared at it. Contemplating, should I call him? If I call him, do you think he actually likes me? What will his friends think if we do go out? What should I do ? You know what fuck it, I'll call him !!

While I was dialing his number my mind ran endless with questions on this simple thought of calling a boy. Why was it so hard for me? With all of these questions in my mind, I hadn't realize he had picked up the phone.

"Uhm hello? Is anyone there? Who is this anyways?" He asked with annoyance.

"Oh sorry, it's the girl from the record shop. From a couple of days ago, you gave me your number." I said sounding like a complete idiot.

"Oh yeah, the cute one who helped me with the records." he laughed. Cute? He thinks I'm cute, a blush crept upon my cheeks. "What's your name ? I never caught it."

"My name is Casey." I replied.

"Well Casey, my name is Calum. Not Cae-lum like you may have thought from what I wrote on your arm, but Calum. I'm happy you called." He spoke softly.

"Calum who is that your talking to?" I heard someone say on the other end of the phone, another Australian accent.

"Who was that?" I asked.

"My friend Luke." He replied with a sigh.

"So are we like a thing?" I asked. "Because we've only known each for not even a day." I continued.

"Well I think you're hot and from what I've learned you have a great personality, but I think we should get to know each other. I don't want to rush into something and not know anything about the other person." he said speaking the truth.

"That makes complete sense," I thought for a second. "Ooh I have an Idea, you send me a list of facts about you and I send you a list of facts about me. And then everyday from here we'll learn more and more about each other. It's lame, I know, but it's an idea."

I took him a moment to think about it and answer. "Yeah, that sounds great."

"I'll send you my list and I'll call you later say tomorrow around the same time?"

"Yeah definitely. Bye Casey." I could practically hear him smile

~My list~

My middle name is Angelica. My favorite color is purple. My top favorite bands are Twenty one Pilots, pierce the veil and Nirvana. I don't really play any sports, but the one sport I got into was Roller Derby I don't know if you've heard about it, but I love playing it. I love playing Guitar and I also play bass and a huge variety of music. I love to sing and I also love reading. I'm not that exciting of a person, really. I spend all of my time at the skating rink and the record shop, nothing exciting here.

~Calum's list~

I think it's pretty exciting what you do. Well I'm part kiwi and Scottish, but I'm from Sydney, Australia. I also play bass and acoustic guitar. I love singing too. My favorite band is blink-182, they're the reason I wanted to start a band. I have three bestfriends named, Luke, Michael and Ashton. They're in the band 5 seconds of summer with me. And that's it really it, oh yeah and I used to play soccer. I lived in brazil for like two months, but then I realized that I wanted to be in the band so I left soccer and started it with my bestfriends.

Wait a band? And how is it 5 seconds of summer when there is only 4 of them? More like 5 seconds of what? I searched them up and they have so many interviews, fans, and pictures. He's famous and he likes me? I don't get it, I just don't understand. How did I get so lucky?

Even if this doesn't work out, I guess I have a chance to say that I talked to Calum Hood. I probably shouldn't talk about this or brag to other people, I wouldn't want to break his trust.
