Clandestine (Calum Hood)

4. Meeting Michael

Amelia's Pov ♦

I watched as the cab drove off with my parents inside it.

I tried hard not to cry.

I walked back into the big yet lonely house.

I wanted to go to the art centre again so I went to my room and got ready. I walked over to my closet and smiled.

My parents weren't here to control what I wear and how I act and what music to listen to.

I could use this time to pretend to be on my own. See what it would be like.

I think I can like this.

I put on my elbow length white shirt with black sleeves that had a black picture of a guitar in the middle.

I slipped into my black skinny jeans, and put on my white converse.

I decided to crimp my long hair. I did a wing of eyeliner on my line, curled my lashes and applied mascara. Then used my dark lip gloss.

I turned to look in my mirror and smiled. This was me.

Don't get me wrong, I also enjoy buns pearls and skirts. But this just showed who I really am.

I grabbed my cell and headed out the door and walked to centre.



When I got there I saw Catherine. "Amelia! Hey."

"Hello." I waved.

We sat at our table and she painted while I was drawing.

I told her about my parents leaving. She suggested us exchanging numbers so we could hang outside of art.

"Are you as hungry as I am?" she asked.

"Starving!"

She laughed. "let's go."



Catherine took me to this cute restaurant and we ordered tons of food.

I was enjoying my strawberry shake when Catherine yelled across the room. "Ashton! Michael! Hey guys! Hey, come here!"

I stopped drinking my shake and sat back self consciously.

Two guys came up to the table and greeted Catherine. They were both cute.

Catherine took a bite of her hamburger and gestures towards me. "Guys, this is my new friend, Amelia. She just moved from London. Amelia, that's Ashton and that's Michael." she pointed.

They both smiled. "Nice to meet you." Ashton said.

Michael took my hand and slowly shook it. "Very nice to meet you."

I blushed. "Nice to meet you guys."

Catherine looked at Ashton. "Where's Luke?"

"With Calum."

My eyes got wide.

Catherine sighed. "Ugh I hate when they hangout."

Michael rolled his eyes. "Lukes your boyfriend. Be a woman and whip him into shape."

Catherine laughed sarcastically.

I cleared my throat, "Calum who?"

"Hood." Ashton said.

I nodded slowly.

Michael looked at me and grinned. "So Ashton's having a party tomorrow night. What do you say we go together?"

Catherine jumped. "Yes! You have to come!"

I looked at Michael, "Um yeah. Sure!"

"See you then." he winked and walked away.

Ashton waved to us and followed Michael out.

Catherine cooed "Oooh you have a boyfriend!"

I chuckled. "No way."

"Hmm. Michaels a huge flirt but he's never been like that before."

I shrugged.

"Wanna get ready for the party together?" she suggested.

"Yeah sure, cause I'm not really sure what type of outfit to wear."

"Oh you'd wanna dress way cute, trust me. I met Luke at a party, that's when we started dating. It's been over a year." she smiled.

"I can only dream of being in a good relationship."

She gave me a sympathetic look.

I've always been a push over. So I was an easy target. But I was working on it. I've been a good kid all my life but I'm almost 17 and it's time for some changes. I want to be different.



When I got home the sun was setting and Calum was sitting on my porch with a cigarette.

I slowly walked over and sat down next to him.

We sat in complete silence as he was taking drags, I watched him with fascination. It was so intriguing..

I watched him blow out slowly.

He looked at me while smashing his cigarette into the ground.

I looked down pretending to mess with my shoe.

"What's your story Amelia?" he said low and slowly.

I looked up. "My story?"

"I want to know about you. I can't figure you out. I see girls and it's so easy. Good girl, bad girl, successful future, bad future, good past, bad past, pure, slut. I can't read you."

I gulped feeling like an outcast. Was there something wrong with me? "Maybe it's because.. my stories still being written."

He smirked. "You call me the mystery."

His dark orbs stared into my green ones.

My phone went off ruining the moment.

I took it out and answered. "Hello?"

"Hey! It's me, Michael. Catherine gave me your number."

"Oh hey Michael!" I smiled.

I looked at Calum and his face looked angry.

"Um.. Michael can I call you back?"

"Yeah sure. Bye beautiful."

My cheeks got hot. But now was not the time to blush. "Okay, bye."

I hung up and cleared my throat nervously.

"Michael who." he spat.

"... I don't know, I guess he's one of Catherine's boyfriend Luke's, friends-"

"Why are you talking to him?" he looked frustrated.

"I - I met him today, he's a friend I don't know."

"You smiled when you found out it was him. You blushed..."

"I.. I don't know what you're getting at Calum." I whispered.

"Fuck it." he knocked over a pot with a mini tree in it off my porch and stomped off down the concrete path and into his shiny black car and sped off.
