The Evening ; malum

♰ Chapter One ♰

"What do you mean you don't have fifty shades of grey? This is the freakin library, everything is here!" A woman shouted at Calum was staring at her with a bored expression.

"M'am you're in the kids section of the library." He said boredly and her angry expression dropped and she looked around. He was stacking books in the kids section and then yes this crazy lady came over and started yelling.

She walked away and he rolled his eyes. He added the rest of the small books and then walked back over to the table that was near the entrance of the library.

"Always get psychos in here?" Calum looked up seeing a boy with blonde hair styled in a quiff. He immediately knew who it was.

Luke Hemmings.

A jock at his school.

"Only on days that end with Y." Calum said and laughed. Luke smiled and put a book on the counter and pulled out his library card.

"You're Calum, right?" He nodded while scanning the book and checking it out on the computer.

"I'm Lu--"

"Mate, I know who you are." Calum said and chuckled. Luke blushed at the boy and looked down. He thought that Calum was a cutie.

Calum handed him back the book and the card.

"Have a nice day." Calum said and smiled politely. Luke was just about to leave but stopped.

"Do you wanna go out sometime? Like hang out or watch a movie?" Luke asked nervously. Luke was known for being a nice cool guy. He was polite and always treated everyone with respect.

He's even dated both boys and girls but they always broke up with him, except for a few times when they cheated on him.

"Yeah that would be awesome." Calum smiled and Luke smiled widely and wrote down his number, handing it to Calum.

"Alright. I'll see ya tomorrow in school." Luke said and then waved 'goodbye' and left. Looking at the number, Calum felt butterflies in his stomach. He's never really been in a relationship with someone.

"Really? Football guy? Mr. Quarter back?" he turned and saw the boy from the night before. The one who he slapped. He glared at the boy with an intense feeling of hate.

"Really? Creepy guy? Who tells people to not run and scream?" Calum spat back while grabbing books and walking towards the shelfs. He actually wanted to throw it at the red head.

"My name is Michael but creepy guy works too." Michael said with a playful smirk. Calum scoffed as if he actually cared about his name.

"I have a few other names I can use for you." Calum shot back and Michael gasped dramatically.

"I'm hurt! All I want is a friend." Michael mumbled sadly. Calum knew it was a fake act. So he rolled his eyes and stacked some of the books. He didn't want to be bothered by someone who has so much ignorance.

"Well I'm not your friend so you can leave." Calum mumbled in annoyance. He got a bad vibe from Michael. But also got a weird vibe? It was hard to describe?

"Awe come on, don't hurt my feelings." Michael said and pouted. Calum glared over at him but seeing his pout made his heart melt. His pout was actually convincing.

"The answer is still no." Calum said and then turned away. Michael sighed and continued following Calum to the back of the library.

"So what's with you and blondie?" Michael asked and Calum groaned. He's just not getting the hint?!

"It's non of your business." Michael smiled at how snarky Calum is. He loved it and it was very entertaining to mess with him.

The bell suddenly rang meaning that someone walked into the library. Calum looked over with furrowed eyebrows but rolled his eyes when seeing it was Ted. Ted always comes in drunk and tries to steal books.

"Ted you can't be in here!" Calum called as he rushed to the front and slowly walked up to the man.

"You don't tell me what to do!" Ted snapped and Calum frowned. Great it was one of his violent days where he wont leave unless the cops are involved.

"You can't be in here while you're drunk. Please come back when you're sober or not in a psychotic mood." Calum said reassuringly and tried patting him on the back. Michael stood behind, glaring at Ted.

Michael found his lunch.

"Don't touch me!" Ted snapped and pushed Calum back causing him to fall on his butt. Michael got angry and grabbed Ted by his throat and stared into the mans lost blue eyes.

"Get out of here now or you'll regret waking up this morning." Michael snapped and his eyes dilating and he knew the compulsion worked because Ted nodded and then walked out. Calum started in confusion at the scene.

How did Michael do that?

"How did you do that?"

"Magic, baby boy. I'll see you later."

Then he was gone.
