Saturday 6th September
There was a knock on the door. I walked towards the door and pulled it open to see a very tired looking Luke on the other side.
"Hey Luke." I greeted him and gestured for him to walk inside.
"Hey Charlotte. Is Cal ready caus-" He began explaining but as he walked inside he saw Calum up and ready. "Wow. Okay, maybe you should come here more often, cause it is absolute murder trying to get this kid up in the morning.." Luke trailed of laughing as he bit down on his lip ring. I turned to face Calum who rolled his eyes.
"Can we just leave please." Calum snapped. I held back a small smile at the fact that he was back to his jerky self. Now you are probably wondering why I'm smiling about something like that right? Well no i don't like that he's being a jerk, but it's more to the fact, i like that he's being a jerk to everyone else... But me. I mean, like 2 minutes ago he was thanking me and being all sweet and awkward, and now he's being a complete bum to his best friend. That surely means something doesn't it? Maybe? I don't know. I'm probably overthinking the whole situation...
"Well alright then, thanks for looking after him Charlotte." Luke spoke up and i nodded.
"He was no trouble." I smiled at Calum who sent me a small smile back, but it quickly faded as Luke turned to him.
"Yeah okay." He scoffed. "You don't have to lie Charlotte. I know he must of caused some form of trouble." Luke chuckled sarcastically. Well that was a bit rude. I saw Calum roll his eyes in annoyance, and i raised my eyebrows slightly at Luke as i did find his comment rather unnecessary.
"Whatever." Calum muttered, and i actually felt kind of bad for him. Like, i know Luke was telling me last night that they're like brothers and that he's just looking out for him... But judging from Calum's reactions to Luke's constant snappy comments, its like that they seem to actually... Hurt.. Him.. If its even humanly possible to hurt Calum Hood..? Is it? Well he's not a damn robot, surely he takes these things to heart. I know i would. "Bye Char." Calum flashed a quick smile and i smiled back at him.
"Cya Cal." I nodded my head towards him.
"Bye Charlotte." Luke smiled before heading out of the, still open, door and towards the car that was outside waiting.
"We should hang out." Calum blurted out, i furrowed my eyebrows and turned to face him.
"Well, that depends Mr Hood." I smirked. "Are you going to be a jerk or..-"
"I'll be whoever you want me to be babe." He winked and i rolled my eyes, making him laugh. "Okay, no I'm joking, I'll be nice i promise." He smiled like a complete dork, in which i returned as I'd never really fully seen this side of Calum. He stuck out his pinky, and i stared at him for a moment.
"You can't break pinky promises you know?" I said wearily as i held out my pinky. He stared down at our hands before interlocking the two pinkies.
"I know." He whispered before walking out of the door and shutting it behind him with a small wink. I stood shocked at what had just happened. Damn. Its weird to think that only a couple days ago, i was loathing this boy, and now... Now he's kind of growing on me...
