Basically ≫ c.h.

chapter seven.

It's been a little more than a few days since I've seen anyone, really. My 'weirdness', as Michael liked to call it, kicked in. I realized that Luke and Calum only wanted to hang out with me for some prank, I know it. They haven't even called, like they said they were going to. I don't really want to see them anymore.

"Sam, I'm home." Michael called out from the other room. I wanted him to go get me something from the café, as I obviously did not want to go.

"What'd you get?" I asked while he walked into the bedroom.

"Obviously a coffee and a muffin. I might have gotten a few donuts for myself." he smiled and sat on the bed next to me. "You need to get out of the house."

"I don't want to. Too much stuff happens." I mumbled and ate my muffin. "How many donuts did you get?"

"Um, six." He mumbled and pulled out a box from the bag and placed it on the bed.

"And you're going to eat them all?" I asked but then I was cut off by Michael's phone ringing.

"Hello?" I heard him say. It was probably his mom or whatever. "Oh, it's for you." he said and handed me the phone. I wonder who it was.

"Hi?" I said into the phone. I took a sip of my coffee and waited for an answer.

"Hello, precious." a familiar voice said. It was Luke, definitely. His voice was easy to know, I liked it a lot.

"Well, it's about time you called me." I joked. I heard him chuckle.

"Yeah, where have you been? I miss you." he said. I felt bad that I hadn't called, even though he said he was going to. I smiled like an idiot at the last part.

"I've been here with Michael." I paused. "I wasn't feeling good." I lied. I didn't want to freak him out and tell him that I was paranoid of him only wanting to be my friend for a prank.

"Are you doing anything tonight?" he said. I could tell he was smirking, I don't know how.

"Well, of course not. I haven't done anything in five days." I mumbled. Michael was currently on his fourth donut. I have no idea how he eats them so fast.

"I have an idea of what we can do tonight. Come over at 7:00." He said. I was obviously going, because I kind of missed seeing him and Calum. I've only met them about a week ago, but they were special.

"What should I wear?" I asked.

"Anything you want. Preferably something casual." he said and I heard some music in the back. It sounded like Liar by the Sex Pistols. I knew that song very well.

"Okay. I'll be there." I said and started mouthing to the words of the song. It was only muffled through the phone, but I knew the song a lot so I could sing it without having it play.

"Okay, it's a date." He mumbled and I heard Calum singing to a different song, probably annoyed at how loud Luke's is.

"A date." I said, not really sure why. Luke hung up and I handed Michael his phone back. He was almost finished with his fifth donut.

"A date?" he asked after finishing the donut. I still had no idea how he could eat that much.

"Did you seriously just eat five donuts." I said and got up off the bed. I looked at the clock and it said 10:25. I had plenty of time. I just didn't know what to do with it.

"Why are you going on a date with Luke?" he asked, simply ignoring my question.

"Because I can. Why do you care?" I said and went to brush my teeth. I left the door open so I can continue talking to Michael. Sometimes, he was very protective of me.
