Princess // Calum Hood

Chapter 7

Calum's POV

What the fuck just happened? Why the hell did I kiss her what was I thinking! Oh shit!

I strolled down the long stretch of alleys leading to my house walking slowly thinking about the huge mistake I could have just made! It was stupid of me! She isn't into me and I can tell! The way she sat on the bus today from the way she looked happier with Hollie I can tell I'm nothing more to her than a friend and now she probably thinks I'm a total jerk!

For god sake Calum why do u always mess up?

I reach my house and go straight upstairs. She's probably already on the phone to Hollie telling her how much of an idiot I am for kissing her when We're nothing but friends.

I crawl into bed and lay under the sheets staring at the ceiling trying to figure out how I'm going to apologise to her.

Sophie's POV

It was Monday again and my alarm was going off. 6:30am I hate it! I sit up forcing myself to wake up and as soon as I'm fully awake I feel a huge knot in my stomach. I have to face Calum today and I have no idea what to say to him or if to say anything. We haven't spoke or text since Saturday.

I jump out of bed and decide I'll jump in the shower.

Once I've showered and dressed and put in a thin layer of natural make up I skip breakfast and head straight to hollies. I know she won't be ready yet but I just really need to get out and focus on something there than Calum.

As I reach hollies I hesitate wether to knock on the door. I still haven't told her about the kiss and I know she's gonna realise I'm nervous about something. She's has this thing where she notices the slightest things that are wrong. I realise I'm being stupid and that if she asks I'll just tell her I'm tired or something. I'm definitely not up to telling her that we kissed I still don't know what the kiss meant.

As I walk through the door of course she isn't ready I am 20 minutes earlier than usual. I go up and sit in her room and wait as she does her make up. She does more make up than me but she is a hell lot better at applying it than I am so I just sit and admire the smoothness of it all.

We leave just before 8:15 and I immediately feel sick at the though of seeing Calum in 15 minutes. I didn't have maths first today but I did have it 3rd which made things worse as I had to wait to see him leaving me feeling sick all morning.

My first two lessons go pretty slowly just like they always do. I walk to maths alone which is unusual as I normally see Olivia but I don't think she's in today as I haven't seen her at all. Anyway I get to maths and I sit down with no sight of Calum yet which is unusual too he's usually here pretty early. Just as the bell goes he walks through the door. We don't make eye contact at all I fact he doesn't even look in my direction he simply walks in head down and sits in his seat without looking at me.

The lesson seems to go the slowest it ever has done. Neither of us speak a word and neither of us dare to look at the other. It's fair to say this is pretty awkward.

I take a glance down at his book and although we are 45 minutes into the lesson he's done 1 question and a whole lot of doodling. He's acting extremely strange today and I don't dare ask why.

Finally the bell goes and he's first to get up and leave without saying a word. I instantly regret not saying anything but I'm just glad to have that lesson over.

My next 2 lessons go pretty quick but I don't really listen in either I'm too busy trying to figure out if he's mad for kissing me or if he's just embarrassed about it. Neither seem like a reason for him to ignore me tho.

I get a ride home with Hollie like always and again she's going on about Ashton but I don't really care I just want to go home take a long bath and sleep my head is banging!

I get home and do exactly that.

**********

It's Thursday before I know it and the week is flying by. Nothing seems to have gotten any easier between me and Calum and I'm starting to rethink every feeling I have about him I know I shouldn't but I do. He seems to regret the kiss so why shouldn't I? It's clear he's acting different this week I know there's something more than the kiss but what? I can't ask him!

Thursday night as I'm getting into bed and drifting off my phone bings.

From Calum:

I'm so sorry I really am! Everything I said was true but now it's best if we forget :( X

My heart skips a beat as I read this! What does he mean?

To Callum:
