Wednesday.

"Good luck, Juniors."

Our principal talks over the intercom, giving us words of motivation.. as if it helps. My counselor gives the instructions to the class about the section that we were going to start.

"You may now begin, I will write how much time is left on the board," he sits in his chair and writes in his papers. I sigh to myself and open my test packet, the questions already giving me a headache. I think about the time I spent with Calum on Monday, let's just say it was the best thing in the world.

flashback.

We laid on our backs, trying to catch our breaths, our chests rising and falling. "That was amazing," Cal breathes.

"I know," I laugh softly. I turn my body so I'm laying on my side and looking up at him, my hand laying on his chest.

"I love you," he turns to me and kisses my lips. I obviously kissed back, my hand going to up to the nape of his neck and brought him closer to me.

"I love you so much more," I mumble in our kisses. His lips trail down my neck, kissing and nibbling every once in a while. I probably would have small hickeys but I didn't really care.

"You are so incredibly smart, talented, and I know you will ace that test and you'll get accepted to every single college and you get many scholarships." He pulls away slightly and looks me in the eyes, putting a piece of hair that was covering my face behind my ear.

"I believe in you, remember these words when you test, it'll help soothe your nerves," he adds as he rests his arm on my waist.

"As long as I have you by my side, I know I can do my best," I mumbled as my eyelids start to drop and I fall asleep in his warm embrace.

end of flashback.

His words made me smile, I was motivated to try and do my best for him and for me. I want to succeed, to become something of myself. My mom always worked hard for mine and my siblings education. She never got to finish high school, but she did get her GED and I want to make her proud of me.

"Here goes nothing," I mumble to myself as I dive into the test.

It was lunch time, well for people in my division. We had to eat lunch in the class room, yet while everyone went to the lunchroom to get their food, I went to the office to pick up a lunch that Cal had brought me. I signed in the office and saw Cal with a brown bag sitting down.

"Hey," I smile as I walk up to him, he immediately stands up and smiles at me.

"How's the test?" he hands me the bag of food and I happily take it.

"I'm getting through it," I laugh and thank him for the food.

"I'll pick you up after you finish," he hugs my slightly and kisses my forehead.

"Bye, I love you," I peck his lips quickly so the people in the office wouldn't see.

"I love you too," he gives me another quick hug and he leaves as I make my way back to my classroom. I get to class and give the pass back to the teacher while thanking him. I sat in my seat and took out the lunch from the brown bag.

A subway sandwich, apple juice, cookies, and a reeses cup. I take out the sandwich to see a note on it saying 'you're doing amazing even thought I can't really see'. I laugh at the note quietly and shook my head.

I could feel the harsh stares of people on the back of my head, I wonder why.. maybe because;
- I'm going on tour with One Direction.
- I'm dating a guy in a band.
- I have a business that's been blowing up lately.
- I won't be in school for a whole year.
- And I have the opportunity to graduate early if I work on my online work fast.

I honestly don't even care, I'm just going to eat my lunch and focus on getting a high score on this test.

I left the building with a sigh of relief, Cal had texted me earlier saying that we was waiting for me. I had gotten into the car and said 'hey' to the guys who were in the back. They mumbled a 'hey' in response along with saying something about hating me because I was in the front and I just laughed.

"When do we leave on tour?"

"2 weeks," Ashton hums.

"How's Isabell? I hardly ever see her because of you," I laugh.

"Oh, um, she's good, she's really cool," Ash shrugs and goes on his phone, he's probably texting her right now.

"Where are we going?" I question as I scroll through my phone.

"Uh, I need to drop off the guys and then we can go to the mall and get anything you need for the tour," we pull up to Luke's house and they get off and unloading the instruments. We said our byes and made our way to the mall.

"How was the test?" he takes my hand in his and presses a small kiss on it, his eyes still on the road.

"It was actually pretty good, I was falling asleep but I was able to wake myself up and finish," I smile proudly at myself. The rest of car ride was full of lip syncing and jokes. We had finally gotten to the mall and we just wandered around until we went inside a dress store. Cal had said that we'd probably be attending some parties so it was a necessity to buy a dress or two.

"What about this one?" Cal hands me a bright pink dress and I pretend to vomit. "I'll take that as a no," he laughs as I continue to look through the rack. I had grabbed a couple to try on but I continued looking around.

"I'm going to go try these on."

"Here, this one too," he hands me a black piece of fabric, I shrug and take it, going into the dressing room.

I had tried on the black one that he gave me and I immediately fell in love. It was a black high neck body-con dress. "You ready to see?" Calum responds with a 'mhm' before I walk out of the dressing room. He looks up from his phone and he eyes widen along with his mouth dropping and I give a small giggle.

"Shit, you look sexy," he mumbles. "You are definitely getting that one." I laugh at his response as I bend down to reach his face. My lips ghost over his neck, then rising up to his ear slowly.

"You might want to cover yourself," I whisper in his ear and look down at the bulge in his jeans. He blushes out of embarrassment and grabs my purse that was next to him and places it on his lap. I giggle and give a little turn before I make my way back into the dressing room to change.

A/N: sorry for not posting, I haven't been feeling the best this week. but here's a somewhat long chapter
