I

Luke Hemmings' POV

"Luke! Your crush's here!" I heard Calum yell from downstairs. "Dude! Shut up!" I yell back but I hurriedly went towards the window to see her arriving home from school. She was in a bicycle and with her backpack hanging on her shoulders.

She's beautiful.'

I've been wanting to talk to her ever since she and her family moved here 2 weeks ago. I bit the bottom of my lip.

'How old is she?'

I don't think our ages are that far apart because I just graduated high school. Suddenly I see someone coming up towards her. Michael, her next door neighbor. The most well-known fckboy in this neighborhood.

I frowned as I narrow my eyes at him. He said something which her to look back at him and say something back.

Oh great. They're talking.

No...

Nooooooo!

NOOoooOoOoOo!!!

Ugh. He made her laugh.

I let out an annoyed sigh, walking away from the window and throwing myself on the bed. I heard a knock, I say a knock because there was only one before I hear the door swing open. "Hey man I just... Uh.. You okay?" Calum asks.

"Yeah.. Yeah." I said turning over on my back to look at him. Calum walks further inside my room and towards my window. Which has the perfect view of her house opposite mine. "Ohhh... It's Clifford." He laughs. "Oh boy I hope she's smart enough to not get involved with that guy." Calum says shaking his head. "Do you know how many girls have walked out of his house half-dressed and crying?"

"I don't wanna know.." I muttered.

"Like I don't know... 10? And those were the only ones he'd invited over to his house. Imagine all the girls he meets at other parties and all the girls he had sexted." Calum babbles on.

"I don't care Cal..."

"Man. I know this transfer student girl from school, her name's uh... Angela I think and Michael got her pregnant-"

"Cal what do you want to achieve?" I ask cutting him off. "Come with me outside to get some things for my mom." I groaned. "Get it yourself Cal.."

"Come on man! You know that market down town isn't so bad. You'll meet tons of chicks there because it's next to Starbucks and a hair salon. I've met this girl Si-"

"Okay! Okay.. Stop talking.." I groaned extending my arms towards Calum to make him pull me up. He rolled his eyes but pulled me up to my feet nonetheless. He walked out of my room and I heard him jogging down the stairs.

I looked out the window to see neither Michael nor the girl. I hope she didn't come with him to wherever he is.

We were strolling down the cereal aisle. Calum was looking for Froot Loops, Frosties and Weet-bix. I was trailing behind him with my hands tucked in my hoodie pockets, looking as well. "Hey man. Can you go grab some canned corn and canned peas? So we can get done with it faster." He said looking back and forth on a regular-sized box of Froot loops and a mega-sized Froot Loops box. I obeyed without saying anything nor protest.

When I arrived at the canned goods aisle I saw the corn and peas next to a girl struggling to get a rather large can of sliced mushrooms on the top shelf. She was on her toes yet her fingertips were the only thing that could touch the can. She was slowly trying to get the can closer to the edge with her fingertips and it was too late for her to realize that the can was about to fall on her so I quickly ran up beside her and grabbed the can before it fell on her head. "Hey you need to be careful.."
