The face of a young girl around my age popped up on the screen. She had pale skin and this reddish orangish hair that was long enough to go out of frame. She waved shyly obviously not knowing what to say. There was no doubt, she was beautiful. She looked perfect in every way, especially for Calum, you could tell by the way his eyes lit mup, she was special. He was brought out of his trance by her voice.
"Um, hi Cal..." He smiled brightly.
"Hey Ella. Sorry about the people slightly out of my frame, they're my friends."
"Oh it's no problem... May I meet them?" He looked back at us all looking at each other trying to figure out what to do with our bet money that now had no use.
"Yeah sure, let me get them in frame." The boys all toppled over each other sitting on the floor next to Calum as I settled behind them. The first person introduced was Michael who sat on Calums lap smiling. Calum rolled his eyes and tried to push him off, but he clung to Calum's arms tight, so he sighed and gave up. "This is Michael. Or Mikey. Or Mike. Or Dumbass, they all work." Michael over exaggerated a frown, sticking his bottom lip out. "I'm not a dumbass... Hi I'm Mikey." He smiled waving his sweater paw hand at her. She smiled back giggling slightly at his introduction.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Ella, or Ellie... What happened to your eye?" Michael immediately took his usual route of humor, to not get her involved or scare her away by them being bullied.
"Just a little fight I got into, but if you think I look bad, you should see the other guy." She smiled, Michael grinning back at her because he loved making people smile. Next Ashton drifted in frame.
"This is Ashton. He's a nerd." Ashton just giggled and smiled.
"I can't even fight with him, it's so true." He took a second to push up his glasses. He had a specific way of doing this, where instead of using his pointer finger to push them up from the middle, he'd take his palms and push them up on either side. "It's a pleasure to meet you Ella."
"Okay you can leave with all your poshness now." He rolled his eyes and Calums accusation of him being posh and moved over to reveal Luke, smiling shyly and waving.
"This is my buddy Lucas, I can't really explain him in any other way than Luke." He didn't say anything, he's awkward when it comes to new people, unlike Ashton who could talk for hours with someone he had never met. Calum then grabbed me by the hand and pulled me off the couch.
"This is my good friend Chrisi. She's cool and should be dating Luke." I gave him a weird Luke along with Luke and he shrugged. "I'm just saying what everyone's thinking."
"Well it's nice to meet you all. " She smiled, her voice starting to get louder and more comfortable with all of us.
"So Ella, tell us about yourself." Ashton shouted out continuing the conversation.
"What do you want to know?"
"Likes, dislikes, hobbies, we need to know if you're right for Calum, no pressure." She looked slightly panicked but then calmed down when Calum spoke again.
"Don't worry I already like you a lot."
"Okay.... Well first of all I live in America.The I like music a lot, bands like Sleeping With Sirens, Bring Me The Horizon, Twenty One Pilots, and I like rappers, like Drake, and Nicki Minaj, I love Chris Brown and The Weeknd. I dislike people that suck, and country. Also I play basketball..." Michael snickered at her dislikes.
"Looks like Calums not right for you, he sucks." Calum turned and smacked Michael upside the head. Michael screeched.
"DON'T HIT ME I'M INJURED! OH GOD I'VE BEEN STRUCK!"
"Michael you are yelling!" Ashton shouted out. Michael hit Calum back on the hand and it turned into an all out cat fight. I got up quietly walking up to the laptop picking it up and going to Michael's room with it. I hadn't been in there for quite a while and I forgot how much I loved it. His walls were black and covered in band posters and Polaroid pictures of him and his friends. He surprisingly still had all the ones with me in them still up. I sat on his red bed spread and looked at Ella on Skype.
"Sorry about them, it's like watching a bunch of kindergarteners."
"No it's okay, they seem like great friends it's really cute."
"Yeah they really are good friends." She sat quietly for a while looking down before speaking again.
"Do you thinkQ Calum likes me?" She blurted out nervously. I smiled at her .
"Yes he really does Ella. He told me you were beautiful . Which I totally agree with." She blushed smiling shyly.
"Thank you. I like him a lot as well..... Another question. Have you two ever dated?" I laughed slightly at this one.
"Once in grade three, Ashton dared us to, we lasted two hours." She giggled.
"That's adorable, I love it."
"Yeah, I'm sure if you're planning on dating you guys would last a lot longer than we did. You're very similar."
"I would love to date him, we were planning on it." Calum had always wanted a girlfriend, that's why he was always getting catfished. He knew that if he found a girl he would feel love and it would finally make him happy.
"Ella, Calum is very fragile... If you date him, I need you to be careful with him, I'm worried about him because all he wants is feel love... So I need you to take his heart, and promise not to let go, because he can't take being broken again."
"I will Chrisi, when I met him, I got happier... I wouldn't want anything but happiness for him too." Calum had finally found his love.
