*coras pov*

i sit down at a desk in detention, and i put in my headphones and listen to greenday while ms. hazel waits here for calum, 

"sorry im late!" the tall teen shouts, as he sits on the table next to me,

"no problem calum, since calum was half an hour late, you two only have an hour left of detention, and i will be back by then" she smiles

"ok cool" i say putting my headphones in

as ms hazel walks out the door, calum leans in

"what song are you listening to?"he says smiling

"good riddance" i laugh

" I LOVE THAT SONG!" he says loudly

"i can tell" i smile

"greenday is one of my favourite bands" he says, pulling out the headphones and playing the song aloud, full blast.

i look at the really tall teen, try and dance, and it is honestly the funniest thing i have ever seen!

the song finally ends, and calum sits down

"so" he says taking a breath "talking about bands, im in one, we are practicing tonight, do you want to come?" he smiles

"yeah, my parents are working, so i am able to some, when?" i ask

"about 6ish" he says, shaking his hand

"coolies" i laugh

"you have to try and bring nova, because i think ash may like her" cal says nudging me on the shoulder

"ooh, ok ill try" i giggle

"so, tell me about you" calum asks sitting side ways on the desk, facing me

"ok, im cora, im 17, my birthday is july 3rd, i like disney and pixar movies,i like pancakes, chocolate chip cookies, aquariums and zoos' " i say laughing

"you like cookies?" he says laughing

"duh" i giggle

"same" he replies

then calum reaches into his school bag, and brings out a pack of uno cards and starts smiling

"ok" i laugh

"lets go!"

//////////////

"UNO" calum yells

"noooo" i complain

as calum places his last card down, he wins

"5TH TIME IN A ROW!" he yells out dancing

"you are the uno master calum" i laugh, making my hands into a praying position

he sits down on the seat next to me, and i start packing the cards up.

"cora?" calum asks me, in a questionable tone.

"yes calum?" i reply, putting the cards into their cardboard box

"are we friends?" he asks

"yeah! why would you think we werent?" i say confused

"i dont know, but we are pals right?" he laughs

"best of pals" i smile

"i am your CAL- PAL" he laughs

i start laughing at the incredibly cheezy joke,

then calum stops laughing, and he sighs

"whats wrong?" i ask

"we literally have 5 mins of detention left, and i was actually having fun" he slightly laughs

"oh damnit" i laugh

"well atleast your coming to the band practice!" he smiles, putting his thumbs up

"oh yeah, whats the adress?" i say realising ii needed an adress to get there..

"oh yeah, 76 pawpaw way" he smiles, as he wrote it

"thanks" i say taking the note

"pass me your phone" he says, holding his hand out

"ok" i say giving him my phone.

"here, my numbers there, call me  if you need anything" he smiles, giving me my phone back.

i hear a door open,

"you too can go now, thankyou" ms. hazel says smiling

"no problem" i say walking out the door.
