(ON HOLD) How Did We End Up Here

Chapter 3: "Asian" guy

Hailey's POV

I was busy composing a song with my guitar when I heard Mikey's voice from outside the room.

"Come 'on Man." Mikey said

"Are you sure it's okay to sneak in somebody's house? Listen, I know this ain't even your house Michael. What if somebody sees us and think we're robbing this house?" an unfamiliar voice spoke.

Eavesdropping.  That actually happening might be cool, heaps of laughter involved.

"What the heck are you saying? This is a friend's house." Mikey snickering at his 'friend'.

"Well you should've told me that first." His friend said.

Hearing the doorknob turning I hurriedly ran towards the door to lock it.

"Password!" I shouted

"Shut up Hailey, It's me Michael. I brought a friend with me today."

"Well that ain't the password,mate!" I shouted again.

"You know it's me, Michael!" He shouted back. Still fumbling with the doorknob

"Well.. Mikey knows the password!" I love this game really.

I could picture Michael getting annoyed and slowly heading to embarrassment.

"fart noise" he said in a small voice that led his friend laughing.

"Do it!" I shouted while holding back my laughter.

He did it. Not with actual fart but you could make a similar sound when you use your mouth and hand.

His friend laughed even harder, I opened the door facing a frowning Mikey.

"Oh, hey it's you Michael!" I greeted him before I bursted out laughing from all that happened.

They entered the room, He was with this guy about our age who has really black hair and eyes. I was pretty sure he was the other one laughing with me a while ago but I guess he got kind of shy he wouldn't even make eye contact with me.

"Oh this is Calum." Michael pointed the guy.

I held out a hand
"Hailey"

He was nice to return the handshake and smile at me.

" I see you're Asian."

"Well sorry, but I'm not." He said kindly.

I went in closer to examine his face.

"You sure about that? You look like one." I said.

Michael pulled me back, noticing that how close I am is making Calum more nervous.

" Yeah. She judged me when we first met too." Michael said.
He still not over the fact that he looks emo with his bangs.

"Well look at those bangs, you look like one... Look at him, he looks really Asian too!" I exclaimed

"Snap out of it miss know-it-all." Michael said and he was really snapping his fingers in front of me causing me to blink a couple of times.

"You're writing a song?" Calum walking around the room towards a pile of paper I was working with a while ago.

"Naaaahh.. just scribbling random stuff." I said grabbing a paper he just took.

He grabbed another and read a few lines. "Woahh. Serious stuff."

Woah.He's different. He was actually reading it. Mikey won't, he would probably make dozens of paper airplanes with my stuff.

"Yeah. You know girls they mature fast." Mikey said. Caught him playing basketball with all the crumpled papers around.

"Well kid, this mature stuff is better than that." I pointed the mess he is making.

"Chill, now you sound like my mom." Then we all laughed.

Calum's POV

Michael's friend was an awesome person. Bit quirky yeah. She was kind of pretty too. She had chocolate colored wavy shoulder-length hair that matched her light brown eyes. She writes songs and plays guitar, talk about complete package.

"Yo, Scott. You're spacing out." She pokes my forehead and I realized that maybe I was staring at her too much.

"Yo Scott!." She did it again. Wait, what? Scott?

"How many times am I gonna tell you I'm Calum!" I said. Really annoyed this time

Damn. I take everything back. She's completely annoying. She was calling me asian a while ago and then when I explained I'm half Scottish, she calls me Scott.

"I know. And you're half Scottish. So you're Scott too !" She said while grinning.

"Yeah right, enjoy while you can." I said

"Shut up guys, can't even hear what I'm watching." Michael said.

We rushed to Michael who was lying on the floor with his laptop.

"What's that? nudes?" I joked

"You're gross, Calum. Look at this guy , I think he goes to our school." He points at the screen.

"So now you're into dudes, eh?" I chuckled before looking at the video he's watching on youtube.

I see a thin blonde guy singing with his guitar. He was doing a cover of Geek In the Pink by Jason Mraz.

Not my jam actually but he's really good.

"Username is Hemmo1996" Hailey read aloud.

Now I remember. He's from our school, he played at an event singing the same song. Me and Michael sang that night too. I remember him still playing his guitar despite his broken wrist. He was crazy!

"crap . already 6. Mom's gonna kill me." Michael said pointing the time on his laptop.

"What?" I said. Mum might kill me too.

We said our goodbyes. Michael rode at the back of my bike as I pedal for my life. His house was three blocks away, I wonder why he even wants me to take him there. Lazy brat.

"I don't get it. You could've walked yourself to your place." I said while stopping to drop Michael to  their house.

He was already walking towards his house and then he said "love you, Calum!"

He says that to embarrass me, obviously normal of Michael.

"You kitten." I said smirking before taking off.

I was already a few blocks away from house. A sigh of relief escaped from the sight of it. Seems like mum's still cooking dinner at this time.

"WATCH OUT!!" someone nearby shouted.

I was about to make it when I saw a dog rapidly scampering by my direction. I managed to avoid it, causing me to run out of balance and dive straight to my mum's beloved gardenias.

Dog's safe. Bike's still okay. Gardenias....nope, not even a leaf survived. Yep, I'm dead meat.

"you okay?" someone said rushing straight to me.

"Aww. That hurt but yeah, I think I'm—" I was cut off when I looked up.

I looked up and saw....

Really, really long legs.
