Childhood Sweethearts [Calum Hood]

YALL GROSS

"Hi Jeremy." I said sitting up and smiling at him.

"How are you, Moria?" He asked.

I could never hate him as much as I did when we first broke up. He was my first love and he treated me so well. Even though he broke up with me, I never did anything crazy. I did not try to bother him or try to win him back. We both had to heal and it was not all about me. I did not try to do spiteful things to him, tried to follow him, or talk shit. I knew our chapter was over and grieved but it was all better. As cheesy as it sounds I am not the same girl from one year ago.

"I am good, how are you?" I replied slouching in my seat more.

"I am good, too and who is this. Your new guy? Hi I am Jeremy." Jeremy said going to shake Calum's hand.

"Calum, nice to meet you." Calum replied politely returning to the handshake.

"Well I have to get back to work. Nice meeting you and seeing you M." Jeremy said before leaving.

I thanked Jeremy for having the conversation end quick. I was really in thought and Calum grabbed my hand to hold. We continued our date with no bumps which was great. Calum was funny and a charmer like always. We talked about everything, making me realize I did not know him that well. That thought made me very sad indeed. We paid for our meal and headed back to the car. The ride home we listened to Green Day due to Calum's request.

"How we are going to tell Blaine?" Calum said at a red light.

I kept quiet trying to come with plan on how to tell Blaine the news. Now it just all I thought about. Calum dropped me off and I said goodbye and kissed his cheek. I left the car and walked into the quiet house. I could not stop thinking. How I am going to tell Blaine? What going to happen? Is it going to be awkward between us? I really hope not because my levels of awkwardness is already pretty high. I needed to call Blaine as soon as possible.

Once I take off my shoes and put my jacket away I grab my phone and call Blaine. I tried to plan out how I'm going to deliver the news to him. Maybe something straightforward or a riddle. Their is no good way to tell a person, hey I'm gonna date your family member. Blaine has picked up and he coughed to get my attention.

"Hey, bitchhhhhhhh." I greeted.

"Do you have something to tell me Moira?" Blaine asked accusingly.

"Uhh I don't know, do I?" I asked him.

"Something about Calum?" Blaine said elaborating.

"Okay, Okay. Calum and I are going to start dating." I exposed.

"You don't have my blessing." Blaine replied.

"I'm gonna date him anyways." I stated.

"Well I mean when you get a text from Monroe saying Moira is on a date with Calum xoxox, how can I give you my blessing." Blaine explained.

"I saw Jeremy today during our date though. Is that not enough for you!" I replied.

" Aww too bad." Blaine said.

We talked for hours after that talking about nonsense because we are best friends. Once I hung up trying to go to bed, I was replaying the whole thing in my head. My life has gotten crazier ever since Calum came back. I tend to overthink things and that really effects my life.

I am going to sleep

The next day was nothing important at all. I just stayed in bed texting Calum and hanging out with Monroe. Monday was way cooler though, in the sense that I was starting my driving permit class. My parents were fed up with having to drive Monroe and I everywhere. 36 hours learning the physics of cars, totally ecstatic.

Then I realized that Is would get out of going to school. I was very happy. Blaine was also happy, he was finally going to get a Uber driver. He was super happy to be able to, sit in the passenger seat. Calum was happy to, because it was about time I actually got a license.

For the next three days I was in driver's ed mode. I ignored everyone and everything around me. I was really trying hard to pass because four hundred dollars is a lot of money. I should have done it online...

It was a tough three day but when I got back to school I was proud to pass. I walked through the halls holding mountains of homework I needed to turn in. I had also, did the homework I missed because my mom was so adamant about being a good student. I dropped off all the items and went to see Calum.

He was standing outside of Bio on his phone. I ran up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist. I felt his arms go around me and hugged me back. We stood there for a bit.

"I did not miss you." I joked.

"I can tell." He said holding back laughter.

"How is Roy?" I asked.

"He is good but it has been only a few days" Calum replied.

We walked into bio and began today's lesson. My day was very normal, I talked to Sonya, spent time with Calum, and Blaine was doing his student government stuff. It was coming to the end of the day while I was seriously flexing my permit like all the sophomores. I went to my locker to grab some textbooks when I got a text from Sonya.

Sonya: Hey are you with Calum in the parking lot???

Me: No?

Then my phone rang again because Sonya sent me a photo. My heart dropped. Calum was making out with another girl in the parking lot. I walked home and refused to answer Sonya after that. I was confused, scared, and angry. Although Sadness was most the biggest emotion I was feeling.

I went home and studied.
