Clandestine (Calum Hood)

2. Mysterious Calum

Amelia's Pov ♦


I woke up the next morning hoping that what Calum did last night was just a dream.

It wasn't. Was he, crazy? Playing a joke.. I had no idea. I just knew it was the strangest thing I have ever experienced.

I had decided to join the Art center. I guess it's really neat.

I put on a sundress and light jacket over it and sandals. I still had to dress proper.



When I got there my table partner was a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. Seemed to be my age. "I'm Catherine." she smiled.

"Amelia." I returned the smile.

"So you're new?"

I nodded. "From London."

"Wow cool!"

Curiosity flew around my mind. "Um. Do you, by any chance.. Happen to know a Calum Hood?"

Her eyes got big. "Ooh yeah. Cutest guy in the entire school. Every girl wants to date him but he's very mysterious. The girls love it."

"So does he go up to random girls a lot and call them "his forever"?"

She laughed "What!? No way. He's only dated Jessica. But he was pushed into that. She's the coolest girl always getting what she wants." she rolled her eyes

I nodded.

She smiled wide and looked at me. "Why? You've already met him??"

"He came over for dinner. Him and my dad are business partners."

"And he hit on you??" she squealed.

"No.. No." well I don't know if you call that being hit on? "We didn't really talk.."

"Well eating dinner with him is what all the girls dream of. You lucky girl."





When I got home I kept thinking about what Catherine had said about Calum.

It was strange to me that someone who seemed that big of a player rarely actually talks to girls.

My parents were out as usual. There was a faint knock at the door. I hopped down the stairs and answered it. I saw Calum.

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Hi?"

He grinned. "Hello, Amelia."

I stood there awkwardly. "I heard about you today.."

His jaw clenched. "And?"

I shrugged. "I guess people think you're mysterious."

"And what do you think?"

"I think I agree."

He chuckled. "Well you're mysterious yourself Ms. Shields."

"How?"

"You dress prim and proper but you have a wild side, don't you? You're someone who listens to everyone but wants to escape and experiment life but you're not allowed to. I'm correct aren't I?"

I was shocked. "You don't know anything about me.."

"I'll take that as a yes." he took my hand again. "I can help you discover yourself. I'll visit you tomorrow. Be ready." he kissed my hand slowly in the same spot as yesterday. "And remember you're mine, no one else's."
