Cake// Shooting between us

Chapter eleven

Calum's POV:

The hurting feeling mostly stopped as soon as I felt Luke touch me again, although a small part of me still wanted to burst out crying. And i don't cry very often. I was too caught up in the heart to heart moment with Luke to notice that Frank and Dougie had jogged in, and it was only when they spoke that I realised. "Aweee! You two are goals!" Said Frank. I jumped with shock because I wasn't expecting to see them, and neither was Luke by the looks of it. "Aheh...thanks?" Luke quickly jumped back letting go of my hands realising that they saw us. "I guess we're just gonna be honest." Said Frank. Luke and I looked at him confused. "Me and Dougie...we're....we're dating now. It just kinda happened" he said as he sat down AF. I was shocked...but it was kinda sweet I guess. They did look good together. "Nawh that's cute" said Luke. "When did you guys start dating?" Dougie asked. "Erm...we aren't exactly...dating" I admitted starting to feel awkward. Luckily before anything else could get more painfully awkward, it was time for us to be counted. "oH right! By the way, they're counting us in the hall. You guys better get there quick so it's all over and done with soon. We all jogged into the hall getting ready to count.

I felt a little uncomfortable as the guards were pointing guns at us. Until Dougie farted quietly  which cheered me up. I tried not to giggle and so did Luke, as him and frank covered their mouth starting to chuckle in a whispering manner. "Something funny?" The guard said sternly as he turned around. "N-not at all sir" said Luke stuttering. I started to feel a little bit scared again because we could get shot any minute. We all stood in a line waiting for them to dart counting us all one by one. "1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8..." he tapped us all on heads as he counted us, messing up my hair and Luke's adorable quiff. How dare they.

"132....133..." the guards finished counting. After counting us once they counted us again just to make sure. Even Chuck turned up which was pretty surprising. It was pretty scary, the fact that they didn't trust us so felt the need to do it twice. "Okay, you're free to go. You're all here, but if anyone is missing for the next count, remember the consequences will be to shoot students." Said Vlad as he stood up straight with his hands behind his back. I started to feel a little quivery, just hearing the fact that real people could die. "I expect to see all 133 of you later! The first student I need to interview in my office is Brandon Millington" He added. I have no idea who that is, but since his last name starts with M, I doubt we'd be interviewed in alphabetical order. Therefore any student could be interviewed at any time.

After a small, slow walk back to the room me and Luke made it back before Frank and Dougie. I sat on my bed as he sat next to me. I started to shake a little bit, and luke noticed. "You okay?" "Huh? oH...yeah sorry...I stuttered. "I would ask what's wrong...but maybe that'd be a stupid question." He stated. "It's just...those terrorists. They're actually scaring me and nothing ever scares me." I sighed. "I know..I know...and I wish I could say that it's okay but I don't wanna lie. We will just have to see how things go" he said shrugging. "I guess...but I'm gonna support you no matter what" I put my arm around Luke. He smiled as the other two came in. "We're back. That was some scary shit." Said Frank. "Erghh it was so scary I actually need to pee" Dougie started dancing desperately. "Me too! I'll use the sink" Frank rushed inside with Dougie following. "Don't worry guys, we've pretty much seen every inch of each other." I heard from inside the bathroom and was like oH.

Well here I am, awkwardly alone with Luke again. To avoid awkwardness, I gave him a few pecks on his neck, but I pulled away quickly to see that it was making him feel uncomfortable. "I'm sorry...I don't want to be too clingy" i felt embarrassed. Maybe he just didn't know how to feel at all. "you aren't being clingy, Cal. I'm just...confused.." "Me too to be honest. I don't know what these feelings are...but they're kinda positive." I shrugged. "It doesn't matter though. As long as we're happy" he smiled. I nodded in agreement. "But if you ever want me to...back off a little...just let me know okay?" "Same goes."
