Should I Tell? / l.h

Chapter 5

It's been a week since Calum asked me out on a date, so it's been a whole week of Calum walking me home from school and I'm glad he did because it has made me less nervous for our date tonight.

I didn't tell April about it because well for one she's too busy talking about Luke all the time that she doesn't listen to anything anyone else's says and two, she'd make a big deal out of this and I'd rather it be kept quiet, at least for now anyway. So that's why I told Marley, she already suspected that I liked Calum so I'm just playing along. I don't what to tell anyone I like Luke because what if it's just a crush and I need someone else to get over him? But I don't want to use Calum in that way because I actually like him and part of me wants to give him a chance. So that's why I'm going to go on this date and try to forget about Luke.

From : Calum

Hey, you still on for tonight? x

To : Calum

Yep, sure am :) xx

From : Calum

Cool, I'll pick you up at 7 x

"I'll get it" it's Calum, he's early it's only ten to seven, it's a good job I'm ready.

I opened the door and there he stood with a single rose in his hand (so cliche but adorable)

"hey, you look, just wow" it's such a cheesy line but it made me smile

"thanks, you look smart yourself Hood"

"well I did try, oh erm this is for you" it was as if he had forgot he was still holding the rose because he still didn't hand it to me

"would you like me to take it?" he all of a sudden seems different? Could he be nervous?

"Oh yeah, sure, here you go" he came out of his daze and now he weren't even looking at me

"thanks, I'll just get my jacket an then we can go" that brought him back to live, it was like he forget we were going on a date?

"okay cool, I'll just wait here"

I got my jacket and checked my appearance before running back downstairs but there was no rush, since he was early anyway.

"you ready?"

"yep, certainly am" I said almost too enthusiastically

"well, Lexie Grey, you are about to have the best first date of your life" he seemed almost too confident about this and I'm afraid he could be right

"well, Calum Hood, I will be the judge of that"
