No, no I don't want to go to a movie with you is what I should have said.

Actually, I should have laughed in his face and walked away, but just like the past few days have been going, my heart and mind spoke other wise.

"I'm not sure Calum. I mean, I have a team and everything."

Why was I even explaining this to him? I shouldn't have to try and make it feel like I'm the bad guy. Calum is the bad guy here right?

"I know Riley. I do to remember?" He said, his voice wobbling a bit.

It sounded as if he was about to cry. Was rejection really that bad for him?

No it wasn't rejection, it was the fact Calum has been trying to be a nice guy the last couple of days and all I've done is shut him out.

Maybe he was actually trying to change.

"Okay." I said in a monotone voice, reaching down to tie my cleats to go on the field.

"Okay what?" He asked, leaning forward in what might have been curiosity.

"Okay, I'll go to the movie with you."

I looked up just in time to see a big smile spread on his face and his cheeks grow a bright red color.

"I'll pick you up around 7 is that alright?" He asked, getting ready to run to his car.

He seemed as though he was excited about this whole thing. I mean, it wasn't as if we were dating. If anything we weren't even friends.

"Uh yea, that's cool."

He mumbled to himself as he started to run in the opposite direction, leaving me stunned as to what his plans for tonight could be.

It was 6:50 and I was sitting in my bedroom waiting for Calum.

I decided to actually take this night seriously and not dress in soccer shorts. Instead I was dressed in black jeans, an all black muscle tank, and a pair of white converse.

Not to flashy to show off to him and nothing to impress him either. Just the way I liked it.

The clock now read 6:55 and I was losing hope. I always heard from around school Calum would pick a girl up early and mess around with her then drop her just as quickly.

A part of me hoped tonight wouldn't end up like that. I hoped he didn't act like the pig I have known most of my life, but I had my doubts.

It was now 7:15 and I gave up on him. Maybe he decided this whole thing wasn't a good idea or that he didn't want to be seen with me or something of the sort.

And as much as I didn't want to go out tonight, it did hurt a little.

I got my phone out to text Jordan and Marcie that he didn't show and changed into a pair of pajama shorts.

I didn't bother taking off my shirt, it was a t shirt anyway, and I sat down in my bed.

Maybe it was because I've been so rude to him and shut him down so much. Or maybe he was out having fun with another girl.

What would I care anyway? I didn't like him so what did it matter.

I sat in bed, my thoughts clustering my mind until 7:40, when I heard a knock at the door.

Mom was out tonight at the banks banquet party so I knew it wouldn't be her at the door and as much as I hate to admit it, even as a senior, I hate being home alone.

With a passion.

I slowly made my way down the stairs, hoping it was just my imagination I was hearing and went to the door.

I opened it slowly and peeked around the edge to see the back of a mans head. I silently screamed and began to shut the door quietly when the person turned around and grabbed the door.

This time I really did scream and I took off running behind the couch.

"Riley what the hell are you doing?" I heard a voice question.

And suddenly all the nerves melted out of me because at there at the door stood none other than Calum Hood.

Sorry I haven't written in a while I've been super lazy but guess who I saw last night.

ONE DIRECTION AND 5SOS. I've seen one direction twice and 5sos three times but it never gets old.
