First Impressions || Calum Hood

Chapter 7

Elli's P.O.V~

I was laying on my bed playing my guitar and singing. I keep learning random songs that I like and playing them. It's been about two weeks and I can say I'm really happy where I'm at right now. I guess I just feel happier then I was before. It's like I somewhat have a life now.
As I laid on my bed and strummed my guitar I thought, looking up at the ceiling.
I think it's about time I was honest with myself....
I really like Calum.
He's kind of my best friends and he's so sweet. I don't really have much experience with anything romantic, I'm pretty shy. So this is a unique feeling for me. But I like it. And Calum's friendship makes me happy, which not a lot of things do. He never seemed to give up on me as a friend, which I appreciate.
I don't know...
I feel like I should tell Penny. Maybe ask for advice? Yeah...
I waited for her to get back to the room.
"Hey Elli!" She greeted me with a smile as she set down her books. I strummed my guitar and gave her a small smile in response.
"That's a new response. Are you feeling ok?" She joked, putting her hand up to my forehead.
"Shut up." I joked, earning a larger smile from myself and from her now as well.
"So how was your day?"
"Good, actually. There's something I kinda want to talk to you about...."
"Oh, really?! Alright, go ahead."
A pretty expected response considering I don't usually talk about my feelings with this kind of thing... Let alone have any.
"Uh, so, I think I have feelings for my friend.."
She raised her eyebrow and smirked.
"Oh? And who, I may ask?"
"Calum...." I muttered.
She smiled and clapped her hands.
"Aww! So cute!"
I felt myself blush and I smacked her arm.
"Shhhh!" I hissed.
"You two should totally get together!" She exclaimed.
I sighed in disappointment.
"Gee, could you be ANY louder?" I asked, faking a curious expression.
"No I'm serious. You should tell him how you feel."
"Oh, Penny, you know I couldn't do that..." Just the thought made my face burn.
"Oh come on! Please! For me?" She asked, faking a pout. I laughed and rolled my eyes.
"That doesn't really convince me you know. I'll have to think about it..."
So in other words a nicer way for me to say no.
"Good! I look forward to his reaction." She said, looking pleased with herself.
I would too... But I don't think I will see it..

When I was asleep, I just kept hearing voices and people in my head.
"Tell him how you feel.....", repeatedly whispering.
Damn. This boy is ruining my life.
