Calum's POV
Alena. Alena. Alena. I just can't get her name out of my head. She's so perfect and now I know her name. I hear it everywhere I go. It's ringing in my ears. Alena.

"Morning Alena!" I sing as I step into our corner. She gives me a disapproving look.

"What?" I ask defensively.

She shakes her head at me.

"Do you not want me to call you Alena?"

She shakes her hand like she's saying "eh"

"Would you rather me call you princess?" I smirk at her. She blushes and nods slightly.

"Alright then princess, here's your hot chocolate" I hand her a coffee cup.

She takes it and smiles. Cutie.

She begins reading when she suddenly stops and her eyes light up like she remembered something. She starts digging around in her bag for something. She pulls out a neatly wrapped present and slides it over to me.

"What, for me?" I smile at her. She nods and bites her lip. Oh I'd love to kiss her right now, but alas I cannot.

I unwrap the present and inside I find a stack of at least 5 books.

"Alena, you didn't have to do this" I grin at her. She just smiles back. I begin sifting through the books. It's Kind of a Funny Story, Playlist for the Dead, The Maze Runner, When I Reach You, and finally, Eleanor and Park.

"Thank you so much" I beam at her.

"Can I maybe give you a hug?" I ask carefully. Her eyes go wide for a second then her expression changes, like she's thinking. Finally she nods hesitantly. I break into a huge smile and pull her into a warm embrace.

"Thank you again" I mumble into her hair.
