-                                           -one week later

It is now only a week until the boy’s first gig and they have been stressing like mad. Almost every night they have rehearsals and I have been to every one. Calum and I have bonded very closely and after rehearsals we usually watch a movie together or get food. As far as I know, Luke has started seeing Amelia

I leave the house at normal time and start walking to school with Luke and Michael. This has become a daily routine, Luke and I becoming friends however I avoid being alone with him.

I don’t see Ashton much, him being a year older than us and going to a different school, but all four boys have gelled extremely well and the music they make is phenomenal. I am not being biased, I really believe that if they work really hard they will go very far as a band.

Michael starts imitating a monkey or something as we are walking and Luke and I have to stop walking because we are laughing so much. The three of us are in a huddle in fits, when I feel somebody’s arms slide round my waist.

“Hey Cal!” I exclaim turning round and wrapping my arms round his neck.

“Hey Lily, can I talk to you?”

“Yeah sure?”

“Can we ditch today?”

“What, school?”

“Yeah,”

“Calum no!”

“Pleasee, we have to before we graduate, it's like a teenage must do, please?”

I think about it. Ah hell, what’s the worst that could happen?

“Fine, let’s tell the others,”

We head back to the group and explain what we are doing. Luke stares at me, and perks up.

“You’re ditching, with him?”

“Yeah, what’s the problem?”

“Lily don’t do this,”

“Oh shut up Luke,” I roll my eyes. “Come on Cal, guys cover for us yeah?” I yell as we walk away.

“Where are we going?”

“It’s a surprise,”

“I hate surprises!”

“Too bad,” he grins, wrapping his arm round my waist and steering me in the right direction. I rest my head on his shoulder as we walk, the strong Sydney sun heating my skin.

We arrive at the coast, which is deserted.

“Cal, I don’t have my swim stuff or anything-”

“You don’t need it, come here,” He interrupts me and takes my hand leading me down the beach. Soon, I click what he is doing, when I see a small pedlo boat chained to the boardalk.

“Calum, are we going on that?” I excitedly ask,

“If that’s ok?” He nervously smiles,

“Yes! Yes! Yes!” I shout, running towards the boat. He laughs and runs after me, catching up with ma and wrapping his arms around my neck and kind of jumping on me. I laugh and oush him off, then sit down on the boardwalk and carefully slide into the boat. Calum climbs in next to me and we start pedalling away from the shore.

After a while, we stop and just sit in the midst of the ocean.

“Lily?”

“Yeah?”

“I know we haven’t known each other for long, but I… Umm…”

“Calum, are you… Asking…”

“Y-Yeahh…”

I think about it for a minute. But what about Luke? And the kisses? And the beach? Oh yeah, he’s with Amelia.

“Yes I will be your girlfriend Calum,”

“Are you serious?” His face lights up and our eyes lock.

“Yes!” I grin happily. I stand up from my seat and sit on his lap sideways. His eyes widen and he leans back slightly.

“Calm down Calum I’m not lap dancing on you,” I smile at him. His facial expression calms and his hands travel to the back of my head. We both lean in and tilt our heads to the side.

The kiss is short and sweet; we keep our mouths close but lean back in a few times. We are both smiling into the kisses. The moment was stereotypically perfect. But in the back of my head, I couldn’t help wondering, do I prefer the passionate touches and deep kisses from Luke?

Oh and another thing. I didn’t get that fuzzy feeling when I kissed Calum. But I’m sure it will come eventually…

After a few hours on the boat we decide to pedal back as he has to have rehearsal with the bands. When we get to Ashton’s house, the boys have already set up in his garage, so they get to work straight away. I hang around, dancing and singing along to their songs, trying to make them laugh as they play. My favourite song that they have written so far is one called Out of My Limit, it is great to jump around to and I’m sure they will smash it live.

Just as the boys wrap up and start packing the equipment away, Calum stops them.

“Boys, I have something to tell you,”

They stop what they are doing and face them. I cringe, knowing what he is going to say.

“Lily and I are going out!” He grins, walking up to me and wrapping me in his arms from behind me and kissing the top of my head.

Ashton and Michael make louds whooping noises and dance around the room like crazy. But when the words leave Calum’s mouth I see Luke’s body stiffen. He turns away from us and puts his guitar in his case. But I watch him carefully and see he is gripping the guitar so tight that hois knuckles have gone white.

When he is finished, he turns and walks out the door.

“Luke where are you going, we were gonna get pizza!” Ashton shouts at him, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

“I’m going to my girlfriend’s house!” He shouts from the hallway, emphasizing the word ‘girlfriend,’. A moment later we hear the door slam.

The other boys don’t think much of it, just shrug and move on, but Luke behaviour leaves me in a state of confusion.

I decide I am tired and tell the boys I am leaving early. Calum offers to walk me home but I refuse, as my house is out of his way. I say goodbye to all of them, and give Calum a quick peck on the lips before leaving the house into the cool Sydney evening.

As I am close to my house I see a couple intensely making out against a wall. I can’t say I am surprised when I see the black t-shirt and skinny jeans that only Luke could pull off. Luke knows the way I walk home, so he was obviously doing this on purpose.

I stalk past them, groaning in disgust as I watch his hand travel up her shirt. But I can’t help feeling a pang of jealousy. I want Luke touching me like that. I want his large hands feeling every inch of my skin, and exploring my body. I want his body pressing me up against the wall. I want his mouth on mine. I want his hands tugging my hair in pleasure.

When I get home I am filled with mixed feelings. But I decide to push Luke out of my mind. I am with Calum and he is the best boyfriend I could ask for.
