Calum's P.O.V:
"Holly what are you-" I started but she cut me off with her finger pressing on my lips.
"Shhhh, we don't want anybody to find us!" She says and I feel her hands slowly slide down my torso, my body tensing uncomfortably at her touch.
"U-um.. Holly w-wait.." I say and try to move her hands away but she keeps moving.
"You know you w-" her sentence is cut off when the door opens and a flood of light shines into the closet. There stood Kat, her face turning from curious to hurt in a matter of seconds. I automatically push Holly's hands off of me and walk out of the closet, following after Kat after she walks away fast, eventually turning into a run. I call her name after her but she ignores it, running through the halls.
I lose her after a few turns and sigh, trying to find my way around the winding halls. I finally found my way to the lunch room after a few minutes and run up to the table I sat at yesterday, not taking my eyes off of Kat.
"Kat can I please explain?" I plead, all the guys turning to look at her in question but she ignores them, staring into my eyes with her glossy light green ones. She just sits there, keeping eye contact with me for a few minutes until she abruptly nods her head and breaks eye contact, looking at the floor as she gets up and stands in front of me, waiting for me to lead her.
I turn around and walk out of the lunch room, ignoring the stares of the curious bystanders and leading her into the empty halls. I suddenly stop and turn around, causing her to bump into my chest. She looks up at me and blushes, automatically looking back down to the floor to avoid eye contact. I lean against the cool lockers and look at her, getting ready to explain.
"When you saw me, in the closet, it wasn't what it looked like. Well, I mean it was,-" I started and she sighed and started to walk away but I grabbed her arm and pushed her lightly up against the lockers, a gasp leaving her lips.
"Listen, Kat, please" I begged, looking her in the eyes once again. She nodded, motioning me to go on, so I did. I explained to her everything that happened in one breath.
"Holly tried to ask me to go to her house to hang out in algebra but I knew that wasn't what she intended to do so I said no, I don't know why but after class when I was walking to lunch she grabbed me and pushed me into the closet and tried to seduce me and then you walked in so I left and that's all I guess..." I say, gasping for air after. She looked at me and smiled slightly, showing me it was okay. At least I think that's what it meant...
Anyways, she looped her arm through mine and started walking back to the lunchroom, us walking side by side. We made our way into the lunchroom and sat down at the table. I took out my food and was about to take a bite.
RRRIINNGGGGGGG!!!!!!
"UGGGGGHHHHHH" I groaned, putting my food in my bag and slinging it over my shoulder once again. All the guys laughed at me and I rolled my eyes and stuck my middle finger up at the 3 of them. I started walking out of class, heading to chemistry.
"HEY CALUM WAAIITTTT" Michael yelled after me and I chuckled, glancing behind me to see him running up towards me. He finally caught up to me and hugged me from behind, us laughing as we waddled to next period.
***********
RRIINNNGGGGG!!!!
I got up from my seat in the library, tucking my textbooks under my arm and walking out to the bike rack. I saw Kat walk in and get ready to put her helmet on, but stopped and turned around when I called her name. She smiled and waved at me but I could see the confused look on her face. I held out my hand and she hesitated but took my hand anyways.
I smiled and led her through the parking lot, leading her to my car. Her seeing this just made her eyebrows crease in confusion and I chuckled a little and opened the passenger door , motioning her inside. She looked at me and I just smiled, motioning her inside with a nod of my head. She slowly lowered herself into the car and I grinned, closing the door and going around to my side. I opened the door and got in, buckling up and shutting the door behind me.
"Where do you live?" I asked and she took my phone and typed in her address. The ride there was silent most of the way so halfway through I decided to turn on the radio, the CD I was listening to turning on.
"Angel With A Shotgun" by The Cab started playing and I hummed along, following the GPS to her house.
It's a really long way away for her to have to ride her bike daily.
I broke out of my thoughts when I glanced at her and she was lip syncing to the song.
"You like this song?" I asked and she smiled and nodded. I grinned and pulled up onto her driveway, parking my car. She smiled and waved, putting her hand up to her chin and bringing it forward.
"Your welcome" I say and her eyes widened I'm surprise. "Sign language right?" I asked and she nodded, her face still completely surprised. "My sister took an interest so I learnt it too since I thought it was pretty cool and could come in handy, I guess it did" I said and grinned.
'how much do you know?' she signed.
'enough' I signed back and she smiled. I know it's not the same as hearing her voice but I'm glad I can talk to her easily now.
'I don't know everything, just enough to have a short conversation' she said, spelling our conversation.
"Makes sense, even though it's different from other languages, it's hard to learn" I said and she smiled.
'I'll see you tomorrow then' she signed and waved.
"See you then" I said and waved goodbye. She got out of the car and walked up to her front door. I waited to make sure she got inside safely before backing out and heading home.
I got home and went inside, finding it empty.
I guess Mali~Koa went out with her friends.
I went upstairs and changed into some sweatpants and a muscle tee, but something fell out of my pocket. I picked up the folded piece of paper and opened it, finding a note written out in slightly messy handwriting.
'Feel free to text whenever, 407-123-4567' (calling won't be very helpful)
It read and chuckles. I could see an erased heart at the end. I smiled widely and took out my phone, typing the new number into my contacts and writing out a text.
