Hungry

Chapter 10 - It Ends Tonight

INDIE POV

This was going to be fun. I was feeling nervous about being on the same bus as Calum. But I hid that feeling with the pranks that I'm going to pull on him. I called the top bunk and Calum took the bunk below mine. Harry was at the bottom of the next bunk and Zayn took the top. We changed and organised out belongings. We all met up at the lounge area to chill. I walk towards the sofa and Harry and Zayn are already chatting. "Hey lads," I smiled.

"Well if it isn't the lovely, Indie. I loved your voice in 'Teenage Dream' by the way. Who came up with the plan?" Harry smirked, showing off his dimples. Calum comes out and takes the seat next to me.

"Ha ha ha, thank you, Hazza. It was Lukey's," I smirked back.

"Interesting. Didn't think he was the prankster. Did you know about the plan, Cal?" He asked, looking at Calum.

"Nope, not at all ha ha," he laughs nervously. Which was weird. He was never nervous.

After about an hour, we talked about the tour, where we were going, our first live experience and then Zayn and Harry got tired so they went back to the bunks. I wasn't tired, probably from the adrenaline rush. I still couldn't believe we performed in front of thousands of people. Calum wasn't tired either so we just talked.

"Cal...."

"Yeh?"

"I'm happy that were on the same tour bus."

"Ha ha, oh really? Why is that?"

"So that I can pull some insane pranks on you," I giggled.

"I'm fucked," he deadpans. And I started laughing.

"Calum, you really have a manipulative face," I'm still laughing.

"Says who?" He says, acting offended.

"Says everyone!" I giggle.

"You're so weird. Hey, let's prank Harry and Zayn!" He whispers.

We ended up drawing penises on their faces and any other skin that is revealing. Calum snapped a picture of them and of us holding the sharpies, tagging them and posting it on twitter. We quickly ran back out to the lounge and laughed our asses.

"Calum oh my gosh this is fucking amazing," I was dying, almost at the verge of tears.

"I'm going to post it," he laughs.

@calum5sos: " #prankmonth is still on, @harrystyles and @zaynmalik! @indiejames and I are the ultimate pranksters!!! "

@indiejames: "@calum5sos @harrystyles @zaynmalik hahahahahahahaha tag team "

The picture received a bunch of likes and comments saying

"You two are funny!" "So adorable!" "This is too hilarious!"

And the most unexpected ones

"Are you and Indie dating?" "Is Indie your gf???" Which I felt my heart beat fast whilst I read them. Why is it beating so fast? Why am I blushing? I have to stop feeling like this. I have to focus on my band. We just started, I can't just get distracted.

So I kept scrolling on my mentions.

Some of my bandmates tweeted back too.

@madisonlancaster: " @indiejames @calum5sos you guys are fucking hilarious hahahaha "

@luke5sos: " @indiejames @calum5sos dammit I wish I was in your tour bus. We're playing fucking uno 😒 "

I burst out laughing. The tweets are incredible.

@calum5sos: "@luke5sos @indiejames jealous, mate? ;-) "

I laughed at his tweet and retweeted it.

"You know, Calum. If we keep tweeting like this, the fans will think were dating," I stated matter factly, feeling a blush appear on my cheeks.

"What are you talking about?"

"I read some comments and most of them think we're dating, Cal."

"They can think whatever they want to think. We're just mates having a good time," he smiles genuinely. He's right. So why am I feeling nervous about this? Were just friends.

"You're right," I nod.

"Yeh, I guess. We should probably sleep now before I do something even more stupid," he laughs.

"Yeah, because drawing penises can't be any more stupid than what you're thinking of," I smirk.

He walks off to the bunks and I trudge behind him.

"Goodnight Indie," he whispers.

"'Night, Calum."

CALUM POV

I didn't mean that I was thinking of doing another prank. Gosh, sometimes she can be the most clueless yet smartest person. How is that even possible? I wanted to grab face and kiss her passionately. I wanted to let her straddle on my lap and feel her body near mine. I want to touch her chubby cheeks and taste her soft lips. But I couldn't say that. I don't want to be in the way of her career. She deserved to perform on stage for the fans. There was no time for love, even if it's with the perfect human being. It was the right person but at the wrong time, which hurt the most. I don't know how I'm supposed to give up on her when we weren't even together. I loved the way her eyes creased when she laughed hysterically at her joke. Her laugh was addicting. The way her eyes looked into the crowd, confidently as she was singing on stage. The way she smiled when she was bouncing with us whilst singing 'Teenage Dream'. I couldn't get it off of my mind. I couldn't get her off my mind. I fell asleep thinking about every inch and every feeling she gave me so that I would erase it by tomorrow morning.
