Calum and I talked for hours and I found out he was NOT Asian (which was kinda a bummer), he was Kiwi, one of the best players in our school's soccer team, and plays the guitar and bass in a "band" called 500 Years of Winter (I think).
I was about to walk out of the diner when I thought 'Did I pay for my food? Shoot.' I stopped dead in my tracks and let the door hit me right in the nose. Which, of course, caused a nose bleed and had Calum right by my side in no time.
He helped me up and asked if I was okay. I thought ' I just got hit by a door and my nose is bleeding. No, I'm not okay.' I dismissed him and trudged to my favorite booth. Calum got an ice pack for me and started asking how I managed to get hit by a door.
" Well, I am a very awkward idividual and my face is just attracted to doors," I said.
He laughed that beautiful laugh and in his Australian accent said " Well, I am also a very awkward individual and I'm attracted to you face."
My eyes widened like his did and he started stuttering " I-I...umm....uhhh... didn't.... uhhh." I breathed out a light laugh and said in my plain American accent "I am attracted to your face too." Calum smiled a little and started leaning across the table and I thought 'How am I going to kiss you when an ice pack is practically blocking my whole face? Oh fluff it.'
I started leaning in when the door opened and a tall blonde blue eyed boy who looked like he could surf walked in and yelled in an Australian accent "THE LUKE HEMMINGS HAS ARRIVED TO PICK UP AN ASIAN-LOOKING BOY NAMED CALUM HOOD!" Calum jumped in suprise, which caused him to hit my forehead and fall out of the booth. I groaned in pain because he could head-butt really hard. Calum was also groaning in pain while he glared at the blonde boy who looked confused as to what he had just witnessed.

Three ice packs later Calum and I were in the same booth talking way past the closing time and almost fully healed from our little incident. The blonde boy, I learned to be Luke, was in the booth next to us. Luke was drinking the milkshake I made him as an apology after Calum and I smacked him across the head a couple of times for rudely barging into the diner. Personally, I thought it was funny but I just wanted Calum to think I was on the same page and because sometimes people's pain gave me joy.
After I explained to Calum I forgot to pay, he helped me with the cash register even after I said I knew how to use it. He used an old receipt to write down his number and asked me to call him. I smiled and said thank you. Calum grabbed my arm and pulled me into his chest, but before his lips could touch mine I turned my head so he kissed my cheek. I grinned and whispered in his ear "Patience, my young one." I wiggled out of his grasp and ruffled Luke's soft hair before finally walking out of the diner.
