little sister // calum hood (EDITING)

ELEVEN

clara
i woke up in my bed, wrapped up in blankets instead of calum. but, i was so glad i did.

luke barged into my room screaming, "i'm leaving!"

i looked at him, clearly annoyed. i groaned, getting out of bed and hugging him. "bye luke." i said, and he smiled before leaving.

i loved the relationship i had with him. he was the person i trusted with my life, and i was so thankful to have a brother like him. thinking about all of this just made me feel even more guilty. i was now dating his best friend behind his back!

i wait until luke is in his car, before running out of my room and down the stairs, nearly dying after tripping on my own foot. i ran to the guest room and barge through the door, jumping on carter.

"wake up wake up wake up wake up wake up!" i screamed and she hit me with a pillow.

"what the fuck, clara?" she asked.

"good morning." i smiled, and she looked so done with me in that moment.

"what's so good about it?" she asked, sitting up and taking a gulp from her water bottle.

"i have a boyfriend!" i shouted, and she choked on her water, spitting it on the ground.

"oh my god, did he ask you out?" she asked, and i nodded.

"yes! i knew it! i won!" she screamed, and i looked at her, confused.

"michael bet me that you wouldn't even talk to him for a while, and i told him you'd probably get together within the next week. little fucker owes me 20 bucks." she smirked and i scoffed.

"of course you two would do that." i shook my head.

"but anyways, besides the bet i'm very happy you guys got together because you're honestly so cute together." she gushed and i smiled in return.

"but there's a problem," i started with a frown. she looked at me, telling me to continue. "i still can't tell luke, and i feel horrible."

"awh babe, it'll take time. you know he's definitely not going to be okay with it at first, but everything will be okay." she assured me, and i smiled before hugging her.

"we should do something today." i shrugged, thinking about ideas.

"we could go shopping!" carter squealed and normally while i would immediately turn down that idea, i was in major need of a new wardrobe.

"you know what, yeah. were gonna go to the mall." i said, and the look on her face was like a mixture of confusion and excitement.

"wait, really?" she asked, and i nodded. "yes!" she exclaimed.

i realized i definitely couldn't go out looking like i did, so i went back up to my room to get ready.

it was nearing christmas here (a/n: i guess i set this in california) and starting to get cold, so i went with a black and white victoria's secret PINK sweatshirt, light blue skinny jeans, and all black converse. i went over my mostly straight hair with a straightening iron to perfect it, and did my eyeliner and eyebrows before going back downstairs.

carter had gotten ready, too, so we decided to head out. i was almost at the door before realizing i was forgetting the key to my life; my phone. i ran (literally) up the stairs and grabbed my phone before running back down and out the door.
