chewing gum [c.h]

chapter 8 -

deep breaths. take deep breaths. after so many years, you're finally going a date with the boy you like. a lot. don't mess this up, melody.

melody looked at herself in the mirror and frowned. did she look bad? why was she suddenly thinking so many negative thoughts? think about calum. the boy that actually asked her out on a date.

she sat on the comfy sofa and waited for him to arrive. she honestly couldn't wait any longer. she liked calum a lot. and he said he liked her too. but after that he asked about love?

shut up, melody. you're just confusing yourself. just look pretty and hope he enjoys going out with you. make a pledge too.

"i, melody hernandez, solemnly swear to not embarrass myself in front of calum hood, the cutest boy ever. i promise to look good and only look good."

that was stupid.

"you look beautiful."

melody smiled, quickly locking the door behind her. she turned back around, her eyes shining brightly. "you don't look too bad yourself."

calum chuckled, leading her to his car. opening the door for her, melody quickly thought to herself.

what a gentleman. how did i get so lucky?

"so where are we going?"

"that's a surprise."

"you're evil."

"i know."

turning on the engine, calum turned to look at the brunette. her hair was lightly curled and she was wearing a stunning blue dress that showed off her small body well.

"i got you something."

"yeah?" she grinned.

calum, with one hand, gestured towards the back seat, where a small box sat.

as soon as she sat back down, melody gently opened the box, giggling at the contents inside.

"gum?"

"mhm. they're strawberry flavored, too."

"you remembered! you're so nice. i didn't even get you anything!"

"don't worry, the gum didn't cost much."

melody wrapped her arms around calum as he drove. "i really like you."

"i really like you too."
