Calum
It's been 2 weeks since Mali got here. She leaves in just 10 days. I really don't want her to leave but I can't just tell her to leave her job as a publisher in New York to come live with us. I look at my alarm that reads 7:15. It's Wednesday so I have to go to school. Ugh!
I get up and start changing. I pull some black ripped jeans out and my Mayday Parade shirt over my head for Mary. Hopefully shell see my shirt and well get to talk more about bands. I grab my backpack and cell to see I have a new message. It's from Ash.
Hey, meet us all at the donut shop by school at 7:30.
I reply and start to the door but stop when I hear someone call me from the kitchen.
"Calum, hey mom and I were gonna go to the mall. You need any new clothes or anything?" Mali asks
"No I think I'm good, thanks anyway." I say
"Are your sure honey? We could pick you up a new dress shirt or something."
"Uhm, its really fine but I guess it wouldn't hurt. Have a good time. See you when I get back." I say and head out the door.
I'm at the donut shop with 5 minuets to spare and find the guys sitting at a booth near a window. I slide in next to Michael.
"So why'd you guys want me to come now? School starts in like 20 minutes." I ask
"Nothing, just hang out a bit cuz Ash is gonna leave for a few days after school." Michael tells me
"Oh cool. Where you heading to?"
"Arizona. Just for a few days. It's my sister Lauren's 12 birthday. I was gonna visit her and my family"
"Oh that's cool. Hey, tell her I said Happy Birthday."

I'm waiting for first period to start when I get a text from Mali.
A picture is attached and she's holding up a pink dress shirt up. What do you think of this one?
Are you kidding? I would never wear pink. I reply. Soon after she replies
Oh yeah cuz gay guys are totally against pink -_- and its Salmon! Not pink.
Whatever! Get me like blue or something. That would be better.
I lock my phone and put it back in my pocket. I feel it vibrate but can't check cuz Ms. Quin looks up. I smile at her and she smiles back and looks back down at her book.
"Hey Mikey you should come over after school. My mom and Mali will probably still be at the mall."
"Yeah sure dude."
"I met this one girl, her names Mary. She's cool you'd like her. I was gonna invite her too. She listens to some of the bands we listen to."
"Mary? Why does that sound familiar?" He pauses for a moment looking like he's assessing the name "Does she have like short hair?"
"Yeah. Brown short hair, how'd you know?"
"Oh I think I have her in my math class. She's pretty smart, like book nerd smart."
"She is. She helps me out in Spanish. Anyway, I'll ask her in Spanish if she wants to go."
Ms. Quin shushes the class and starts talking about some dude named Maximilian or something. I don't really take an interest in it since no one really likes history.
Hey guys so I'm kinda loosing my groove
but I'm still posting it cuz I honestly didn't think I'd get this many views.
Hope you guys like!
