~Scarlett POV~

"You've got yourself a deal."

Oh. Wow. Really?

"Great, now for the rules," I smirked. Where is this confidence coming from? And how do I get it to stay? "Well, I say we start our first adventure at exactly midnight because I need to start at an even time like that. Driving or walking time doesn't count in the half hour; the time starts when we get to wherever it is we're going. And before we do anything, I need to change my clothes because I'm not wearing this dress all night."

Angie had forced me into a dress that was black, short, and tight with long sleeves. I was also wearing a pair of red pumps that killed my feet but to be totally honest made my legs look great. My long, red hair was in messy waves. They were supposed to be curls, but let's be real here, my hair doesn't curl and it's always frizzy and tangled. I had a brown and gold smoky eye with winged eyeliner to complement my pale blue eyes, and a dark maroon lipstick on. I thought I looked great but that look just wasn't going to work the rest of the night. We would be walking, possibly doing crazy things, and staying up all night. I needed something comfy, even if I didn't look my best.

"Ok, well, we have three minutes! Do you want to walk back to your place?" Calum was being so sweet and cheerful about this. He really is the best.

"Yeah, if that's alright with you. It's only like a ten minute walk from here."

"Let's get going then! This'll be fun, I can't wait!" He grabbed my wrist and pulled me through the crowd, walking right out of the club and into the cool night air.

I led the way to my dorm, letting him know how far away we were every once in a while.

"This is it," I said with a smile as we reached the building. I took his hand and led him up the stairs and to my door, stopping in front of it to grab my keys from my purse.

"I can wait out here if you want me to," Calum offered when I finally opened the door.

"No that's alright! I mean, as long as it's ok with you, I'm fine with you coming in," I stumbled.

"Ok then! After you m'lady," he joked as he held the door and gestured for me to go in first.

"Why thank you, good sir," I responded with a terrible British accent, laughing as I walked in the small room.

"Aww this is cute," he said, looking around.

"Calum, it's a dorm room. There's two small beds, two small desks, and two small wardrobes."

"That's not all! There's bean bag chairs, a mini fridge, and a tv!"

"Like in every dorm room ever."

"Well yeah but you guys decorated it so that it looks cute!"

"You sound like you're trying to sell the place," I laughed, rolling my eyes.

He suddenly gasped loudly.

"What?" I asked. I had grabbed sweatpants, a tshirt, and a sweatshirt and was about to go in the bathroom to change.

"Are these turtles?!"

"Oh, yeah they're mine."

"They're so cute! What're their names?"

Oh man. I was hoping he didn't ask that, he doesn't exactly know I'm a fan yet, but he will after.

"Um it's erm...it's Michael and Luke," I blushed and looked at my feet.

"Seriously? Oh my gosh that's honestly the best thing ever! That's so funny! Please tell me you know why that's funny?" He was laughing so hard, I'm glad he didn't think I was weird.
