"Hey nova" I say to the phone
"What's wrong Cora?" I hear nova say
"Nothing, I'm going to the movies with cal, what do I wear?" I ask
"Date?" She asks, winking at me
"No, he wouldn't like me," I laugh
"Why?" Nova asks
"Because, I'm me, what do you expect?"
Nova just raises her eye brows
"Maybe he likes you for you" she winks
"Oh my god, you sound like a Barbie movie, stop it" I laugh
"Well I'm giving advice here" she laughs
"Ok, well I'm just going to wear trackies and a shirt
"No" nova states
"What whyyy?" I ask
"Because you will wear the baggiest things, and look like a potato" she laughs
"Ok then fashion expert, what do I wear" I say into the phone
"Your black crop top,blue jeans with the rips, your white flannel, with your converse, " she says
"Wow that was specific" I laugh
"I have had this outfit planned, for the day, you would actually look nice, and not just be wearing, trackies, for once in your life" she laughs into the phone,
"Wow, just wow, ok bye" I say
"Bye" She laughs as I hang up the phone,

It's currently 4:30, so I have half an hour until Calum is coming to pick me up to go to a movie, and dinner, I sit down on my couch and think,
I should probably bring money, it would help, as I get up, my doorbell rings,
"It's me! Cal-pal" I hear a voice,
I run to the door, and see a tall brown eyed kid staring at me,
"Your here half an hour early" I laugh
"Eh, what the heck, why not" he smiles
"Are you ready to go though?" He asks me
"Yes, I'm just need to let Rosie outside, because she is one of those digs who will ruin everything, and then I just need to get some mo-" I get cut off by cal saying
"No, I'm paying, don't you dare get any money Cora" he says to me
I stare at him, but a death stare, and he death stares me back,
"Ugh, fine ok" I say, he smiles at me
"Just need to let the doggie out" I laugh
As I get Rosie out the door, I grab a $20 off my bench, and stuff it into my pocket.
I walk back to the door, and Calum is waiting for me.
"Let's goo!" He yells
"Yaay!" I yell, running to his car

"What would you like to eat?" Calum asks me, as we are at the maccas drive through,
"CHICKEN NUGGETS" I smile
"Same" he laughs
"Two, 6 chicken McNuggets , 2 small chips and 2 medium lemonades" Calum says to the speaker box
"Thankyou that will be 12.90, drive through" the box replies,
After we eat our food we make our way to the movies,
"What do you want to watch?" Calum asks me
"I have no idea, but they are having Pixar re runs, so how about one of those?" I smile
"Yes! How about toy story?" He smiles
I look at him, and smile
"Yes" and we both laugh,
We both walk up to the ticket, part thingy of the movies, and we get our tickets, plus a popcorn, and a water each.
"I'll be right back, need to use the bathroom, stay right here" he says, as he slowly jogs towards the bathroom
As he jogs off I lean against a wall, holding the popcorn, and waters, minding my own business, when I feel a tap on my shoulder, I turn around to see a girl, about my age, she smiles at me
"Yes?" I smile
"Hi, you don't know me, but I know you, stay away from Calum, ok? He wouldn't want to date a girl that is as fat as you? Ok?" She states, and then I feel an arm go around my waist
"Oi, leave her alone Natalie, she is already perfect"
I listen, and recognize the voice as calums
"Well I can see you definitely down graded from, me, to... That" she says as she points to me
"If I recall you were the one who cheated on me, so if you will leave me and my girlfriend alone, that would be great" he smiles at her, walking away with me
As we sit down in the theatre, we are the only people in the whole of the room
"Cora?" I hear Calum say
"Yes cal" I say simply
"Don't listen to Natalie, she is a total b**ch, ok?" He smiles at me
"Ok" I say to him, a tear rolling down my cheek, Calum wipes the year away, and hugs me.
"You know, if you feel bad about what she said, you can tell me, I've seen you cry, multiple times already, so just let it out if you need to" he states
I instantly bury my face into his shoulder and burst into tears,
"I'm sorry cal" I state
"It's ok Cora, I still love you" he says, rubbing circles on my back,
I sit up, and I take in a big breath,
"Cal, when Natalie was there before, why did you call me your girlfriend?" I ask, because honestly I want an answer
"I.. I just... Um... Well. Uh." He says, trailing off,
"Just tell me" I say
"Ikindasortofmaybereallylikeyoueventhoughwejustmetbutimprettysureilikeyoubecauseyourreallyniceandfunnyandyouknowhowifeel" he says really fast, like REALLY fast
"Wow" I say to him, as I can feel my cheeks flush, heating up my face,
"Sorry, you know I can take you home if you feel uncomforta-" he says being cut off by me stating
"No, it's ok, I think I might like you too"I say, trying to avoid eye contact, but I can see in the corner of my eye, a smiling Calum, with his brown eyes, just staring at me, as he looks away, and pays attention to the movie that is about to start.

Calums pov*

I can't believe she likes me too, I mean yeah, I know, we only met like recently, but she has that vibe, that makes me feel weird, that no girl has ever done to me before, it makes me feel happy.
Half way through the movie, i reach for coras hand, and she looks up and smiles, as soon as I touch her hand, and she tightens the grip on my hands, which makes me smile aswell.
One of the greatest nights, ever...
