soulmate | c.h

three

it's been three days since that day when Calum kissed me. he still hasn't spoke to me a word. i don't know how i feel about this. i normally don't catch feelings for such a guy like him. but it was like the connection we had on that day, it's not the kind of thing he does. we're normally mean towards each other.

with both feet on the ground, i finally got up from bed after laying for hours. i feel so exhausted eventhough i never really do anything. i look over to my coffee table where my phone is, not bothering to check them. i don't even know what time is it.

i headed downstairs to have my first meal of the day, dragging both my feet lazily towards the kitchen. I saw mum washing the dishes.

"hey mum." i said

"hey sweetie" she greeted with a smile.

i opened the fridge to get my favourite milk, realizing that i drank all of them. "mummm," i whined. Wishing there would be another family member that goes grocery shopping often. Almost forgetting that i'm their only kid and my parents are always working.

she sighed, "how 'bout i leave you with some cash and you go get your own snacks, is that alright?" she kissed my forehead. I huffed, blowing some hair out of my face.

"oh and by the way, i called your coach to tell her that you won't be able to go volleyball training this week," she dries her hands on the sink. "we're going camping with the hood family!" she says excitedly.

"what? camping?" i was still unclear about what she said.

"yup, we decided to take a break fom work..actually we're staying in this big lakehouse, it's really big. It will be fun! Mali is coming as well."

"for how many days?" i asked curiously. Hopefully not too long because im in awkward terms with Calum..

"i don't know? Probably a week or so. You must be excited!" she squealed, pinching my cheeks. i let out a small groan.

"so..um, when is the camping thing?" i sat down, she joins me too.

"Wednesday. which is tomorrow tomorrow. ya better pack your stuff."

"and for the rest of the camping trip there will be no wi-fi or whatever, it's time we spend our time together. no phones, no laptop, no internet" she added.

"i haven't see you in a while, have you heard anything?" my bestfriend Lauren asked whilst sipping her drink.

i decided to bring Lauren to accompany me with getting some groceries stuff with the money my mum had left me.  

"i don't think so?"

"well i heard something happened in the game, i saw Ashley screaming around like a crazy freak, probs out of her mind." she laughed.

i gulped, feeling guilty because i think i might caused that to happen, or Calum. it was his idea anyway. Thinking of him makes me go mad because of what happened.

"yo lia you there?" she called. Snapping out my thoughts.

"yeah, sorry" i shaked my head, not knowing what is wrong with myself either. "so volleyball practice, you comin'?"

"oh crap, about that, i can't" i told her

She gave me a confused look on her face, which i find it cute. "my family and the hood family are going on a camping trip this week." i make it clear to her.

She nodd her head and pouts, "how dare you never invite me to this stuff." she says, still with her bottom lips sticking out at me.

"well, they say family time, so maybe next time,"

"but i'm like your sister"

"awww. You think you can pull it off cool, i will stilll, won't invite you,"

"woah you are so mean!" she pushed me, being all sulky.

"eh, i thought we are planning about it!" i reminded her. we were planning to travel since we were kids, we don't even know where. now we're almost 17 i think it's a great opportunity. since it's our final year and exams are around, i don't think its a good time to go this holiday. maybe after exams i guess? i hope our savings were enough to travel together and finally achieve our goals.

she stopped in her track for awhile and gave me her 'thinking' look, with a click, her face lights up again. "you know we should really get onto the plan"

I nod, "i know, let's go" i pulled her to a record store.

after a few hours of shopping, wandering around we only bought some stuff from some of the stores, and lots of my favourite snacks and food. it was all fun until Ashley and her group of friends approached us.

"oh hey, mrs steal-my-man," she greeted me, with her eyes looking at every single body parts of me. she then laughed, "what is that, that you're wearing? that's a horrible worn out converse." she teased.

I look over to Lauren who's already looking confused, not knowing what the hell is going to happen.

"and what is that ugly pink skirt that you're wearing," i spat back.

"just because you are dating that famous football team player doesn't mean you have all the right to insult me like that! I'm still popular than you are." she quickly calls her girls and took off. Flipping that blonde hair of hers. I cringed just by watching how they walk.

"what the hell was that all about?" Lauren asks as she turned back to me. i don't know where to start but to pull off a nervous smile. she narrowed her eyes at me knowing that i've been hiding something from her.

"you," she clasp my arms and started walking out of the shopping mall, "you have a lot of explaining to do, Pierce"

"why would you help that jerk when you know he's a jerk?" she said angrily pushing her bedroom door open and then slamming it close.

Well this is Lauren, my bestfriend, who cares a lot about me and gets sensitive over some things that happened to me. Here she is right now infront of me, lecturing.

"you know i thought it'd be cool if i be nice for once," i lay on her bed.

"no, you have never be nice to a jerk, or any guy- except your stupid ex, nope," she disagrees. Maybe she's right.

"you're just confused or- or maybe crushing on him probably- but NO Malia, everyone says he's a jerk. do.not.fall.for.his.words." she added.

"and maybe you should stop believing what people say about a person and then start talking shit unless you know them, stop being like those girls who listens and believing in such stupid girl gossips" i snapped, causing her to flinch by her seat.

I let out a heavy sigh and settling back down. "i'm sorry, i don't even know what is wrong with me," i buried face in my hands. I felt she come closer, engulfing me into a hug.

"you're just confused lia, and you're right too..i'm sorry..it's just that i don't like to see you hurt - or butt hurt," she chuckled, "seeing you go through a tough time getting over Aiden who's not even worth of your time and i hope you got over him already because, fuck him that's why," she says, hugging me tighter."please, please, please, if you ever thought about getting in a relationship, think twice. I don't want you to end up like my past."

"thanks, Lols" i smiled.

"enough about all these shit, i have a tons tubs of ice-cream downstairs. let's dig in and watch some highschool musical" she took my hand and pulling me with her downstairs.
