in a sense calum knew having a blossoming relationship with a teacher was wrong. he now came to terms with american customs and what was wrong or what was right. it came to him slowly though. the first time was when he tried to go into a club with his greek identification but was issued out due to the face that he wasn't eighteen or twenty one to purchase drinks. this is when calum knew things were different.

he didn't want to admit it but maybe michael was right. he was right all along. it was wrong, it was inappropriate and it should be stopped, but it didn't mean calum would stop. however, he did miss michael. it's been about two weeks since the two last interacted, and the funny thing was the now blonde boy still sat next to him in math, there was just no conversation between them.

calum let out a soft sigh as he put his binder away in his locker, grabbing his lunch box and headed to the cafeteria. he figured now would be the time to make amends. besides, michael was calum's first best friend in america and technically did some stuff with him and he wouldn't want to drop that.

the raven haired boy found the blonde boy almost instantaneously. he walked over to the table where michael sat, sitting right across from him.

"i'm sorry." calum said softly, michael's green eyes shooting up from his phone to eye calum.

"i'm sorry too." michael whispered, causing calum to smile before he lunged over the table to hug michael tightly.

"ooh, i missed you so so so much, michael. i'm so sorry for everything, let's have a sleepover tonight, me and you. just us." calum proposed, earning a grunt from michael before he subsequently agreed.

"just me and you? no talking about boys? just us? can we play video games and maybe kiss a little?" michael asked, causing calum to snort a bit. him and luke weren't necessarily dating so maybe he could do this all with michael.

"of course, maybe you could teach me another lesson if anything." calum smiled, causing michael's smile to get wider.

with that the boy decided to get up, knowing that they'd meet later on. but for now, calum had some business to solve with luke. he knew he had a free period during calum's lunch, so he decided to pop his head in the classroom to see what he was doing. when calum got to the classroom, he saw mr. hemmings by his desk looking what seemed to be grading papers.

"isn't that my job?" calum said, his voice echoing in the empty classroom. the boy stepped his small foot inside the tiled room, closing the beige door behind him, glad that the blinds were already shut.

"why, yes. yes it is your job, why aren't you doing it?" luke teased, dropping the red pen and pushing the stack of papers towards the opposite side of the desk where calum stood. the boy stared at the papers before pushing them back to him and making some room for him to sit on the man's wooden desk.

"you know you can't tell anyone what happens between us, right calum?" luke spoke again, the friendly, humorous tone dropped from his voice.

"what is that supposed to mean? am i supposed to be some secret?" calum whispered, a piece of his heart withering at luke's words. the boy got up from the desk, the playful mood he was in now diminished.

"my aphrodite it isn't like that-" luke began, getting out of his seat to assist calum, but was stopped when the tan boy put his hand in the man's direction.

"then what is it like? you can't invite me for dinner and make me feel all special and everything and then tell me i can't even talk about you." calum exclaimed, luke ushering over to cover the boy's mouth to shut him up.
