SUMMER BREAK

Chapter 3: Calum

Not only did Tyler look like he wanted to kill the guys standing in front of him, he looked like he wanted him to burn in the pits of hell.

"Calum, hey man." Tyler says, having no problem with showing everyone that he did not like this guy.

The guys around the table seemed to have something click in their head and they shifted in their seats before glaring Calum's way.

"It's so great to see you dude. When was the last time we saw each other? Umm it's been a few years hasn't it."

I wonder how they met. Did they use to be friends?

"Not long enough." I heard him whisper. But Calum didn't seem to notice and even if he did, he ignored it.

"Why don't u introduce me to all your friends here Tyler. No need to be rude." Calum says throwing his hands in the air and producing a huge smile.

Tyler went around the table telling Calum our names and when he finished he introduced Calum to us.

"And this is Calum Blake. We used to be.....friends a few years ago before he moved."

I'm pretty sure everyone noticed the break between be and friends and it defiantly was on purpose.

"What brings you guys to Malibu?" Calum asks, looking straight at me as if he wanted me to answer.

Dylan speaks up and explains to him that we're on a road trip heading towards San Fransisco and staying here for a few nights.

"Wow sounds like a lot of fun. Well seeing as your here for a few nights why don't you guys come to a party I'm holding tonight. Just for some fun you know."

A party. For some reason that's exactly what I wanna do right now.

Before anyone else speaks I look at him and say.

"Sounds great we'll be there." And I give him a warm smile.

I look around the table and all the guys are still glaring at Calum. Tyler's looking my way trying to tell me something without actually saying anything. How am I supposed to know what he's thinking. I can't read minds.

"Yeah a parties just what I need." Says Natalie in a more cheerful voice then this morning.

Calum walks over to where I'm sitting and bends down and whispers in my ear.

"Riley do you mind if I grab your number so I can text you the details about the party. Seeing as Tyler is still giving me the death glare."

I look of surprise sweeps over me. He almost sounds mad.

"Don't look so surprised. I've noticed it."

By now everyone around the table is staring at us and I'm starting to feel uncomfortable.

"Um yeah sure." I say as he holds out his phone for me to pit my number in. Once I've done that he says good but to everyone before heading off.

The silence at the table is awkward and I don't know why. The guys seemed to have a problem with Calum but that's none of my business. So they should get past there little problem and suck it up.

Cause tonight is party time.

"I GOT A POCKET GOT A POCKET FULL OF SUNSHINE."

"TURN THE DAMN MUSIC DOWN." Tyler says, slapping Lucas across the head.

"I'm getting us hyped for the party. HYPE HYPE HYPE WOOOOOOOO!"
