four; cold coffee shower

"Hello?" his husky voice sounded.

With first letter falling from his lips, I was mentally hitting myself for calling him. What was I thinking?

"Calum?"

Even saying his name felt like someone slapped me thousand times and didn't plan to stop.

"Braylee? Is that really you?"

I forgot I didn't give him our hotline number. Well, why would I.

"Greenbean?" If your heart could really shatter into pieces like it says in every novel ever, that would be my problem right now. "Are you still there?"

"Sunshine, are you home?!" The dumb blond knocked on the window right in front of me.

"I--" I didn't know what to say. This was a huge mistake. "I gotta go."

"Braylee, please--" toot toot toot sounded as I hung up on him. I am never doing that again.

''What do you want?'' I tried to look annoyed after letting Luke inside. But to be honest, this day was starting so bad there couldn't be anything worse going on. His presence actually lighted up my mood. But I would never let him know.

''You look so pale. I mean, I think I should stop calling you 'sunshine' and just call you 'vampire' cause that's what you look like. How long has it been since you saw sunlight last time?'' He laughed as he messed up my hair. I pushed his hand away to let him know that the situation between us totally hasn't changed after some beauty sleep.

''I don't know, guess I've been in that coffin for too long that I can't track time anymore,'' I poured some coffee into two mugs and went for milk.

''Well that would explain why you look so terrible,'' he smirked at me and laughed as I gave him the 'you better learn to sleep with your eyes open' look.

''That's something every girl wants to hear on a friday morning, how gross she is,'' I took one mug and handed it to him. ''Coffee?''

''Sure, thanks. And to let you know, I was just kidding. You look stunning as always--Hey, be careful!'' He screamed as I accidentaly let the other mug fall, shattering on the floor, coffee completely everywhere. Pretty symbolic if you ask me.

''Oh gosh.. I am so dumb..'' I cursed under my breath as I tried to clean the mess but he stopped me.

''Calm down, nothing much happend. Did you hurt yourself?'' He took my hands gently and started checking them. ''Thank God you are okay,'' he stroked my hand and let it fall on his knees. ''But clearly not okay there,'' he smiled as he knocked with his knuckles on my forehead. ''Come on, what came through your mind? Spill it.''

''What have you been doing past this year, getting a psychologist certificate? Stop with that care.''

''Wow.. okay then,'' he got up and watched me getting rid of all the mess. ''You changed, Braylee.''

''What, no more 'Sunshine'? Yeah, I changed, Lucas. To normal. Sydney was a huge mistake in my life and now I am finally settled down, at my real home, and I was so looking forward to get rid of all you aussie guys but then you had to come and ruin everything--'' It happend too fast. He grabbed my arms harshly, pulling me up to my legs, pressing his lips onto mine.

''What the fuck do you think you are doing?!'' I yelled as I pushed him the hell away from me and wiped my lips. ''Do you realize I have boyfriend?''

''Oh really?'' It was clear that he was losing his shit as well. ''And how come that now it matters but in Sydney it was totally okay to fuck with Calum, huh? You really should make up your priorities, missy. You are acting like a little brat.''

He breathed out loud, pointing at the main door behind him. ''You have ten seconds. I will walk out through this door and when I come back, I will change to normal too.''

As he said, he did. I watched him leave and started thinking. What am I gonna do, what am I gonna do, fuck this, fuck this, fuck-- I blinked as handkerchief appeared right in my face. I looked up to see his smiling shiny face. ''You are so messy, Sunshine. Let's do something about it so I don't have to ashamed that I am taking out a dirty pig, okay?'' He started wiping my face and I just stood there emotionless. ''What?''

''I said it. I am taking you out, because I don't wanna call you a vampire. You are too cute for that.''

-hello everyone! I am really sorry for not keeping my promise about updating, but it's summer vacation now so it should be okay now :)

About that england+france school trip, I can't tell if I liked it or nah. London was so noisy, too much people for my liking. Salisbury was amazing, I loved it so much. But tbh, I didn't like Paris at all. Maybe it was because it was raining all day but idk.. But I met some amazing people from higher grades, especially three boys from third grade, they were so cute and cool, two were calling me Mother of Dragons, queen and Khaleesi cause Game of Thrones and the other one was calling me his bestie and hugged me all the time even tho he didn't know me, but we keep in touch now :D
