Mal's POV:
On our way to Jamie's we saw a boy our age in his yard with a soccer ball. He had raven colored hair and darker skin. He looked Kiwi, but I'm not sure.

Michael: Calum.

The boy, who I learned is Calum, came running toward us.

Calum: Hey Michael, Ashton, Aspen, girl I've never seen before.

Michael: This is Mal she's staying with my family.

Mal: Nice to meet you Calum.

I held my hand out, he too looked at me weird. He reached and hugged me as well. Man, these guys like to hug!

Ashton: We're going to Jamie's, wanna come? Milkshakes on me!

Calum: I'd never turn down a free milkshake!

We continued to walk to Jamie's.

Mal: Hey Calum, can I ask a personal question?

Calum: Sure! What do you wanna know?

Mal: Are you-

Calum: Asian? No! Why do people think I am?

Mal: I was going to say Kiwi, but never mind.

His expression softened.

Calum: Oh I'm sorry. Everyone always thinks I'm Asian. But yes I am kiwi. How did you know?

Mal: By your accent. At my old house, I was only allowed to read. I know a few things.

We walked into Jamie's. Jamie herself came to our table.

Jamie: Hey Guys, let's see it's 7:30

I went for a drink, it was... delicious!

Mal: This is amazing!
