The next day I wake up to my alarm echoing around my room.
"Tara! Get up!" My mum shouts from the other room.
"Alright, I'm up!" I respond, sitting up and wiping my eyes.
I get out of bed and get dressed into my black, ripped at the knee, skinny jeans, black vans and my Blink182 merch top. I quickly do some basic makeup and straighten my hair then I grab my guitar before running to Calum's.
I knock on the door and he answers promptly.
"Hey Tara! Your ready early, give me a minute, come on in!" Calum says smiling. He's so cute. I step in and put my bag and guitar by the door, before following him into the lounge. He's already changed his trousers, but he needed to get out of his other top.
"Mind if I quickly flash and change my top?" He winks.
"Um," I say nervously, trying to stay calm, because on the inside, I was squealing like crazy, "Yeah, sure, go for it."
He takes his top off and unveils his chest. My heart flutters as I try to look around the room, trying not to seem desperate. He puts his top back on and my heart goes back to normal.
"Right, are you ready?" He says looking up from his dirty washing.
"Yeah, sure, can I use your bathroom quick?" I say looking to my feet.
"Sure, I'm gonna go grab my bass from the garage," he says as he walks towards the door, "end of the hall to your right." he points.
"Thanks..." I mumble and a scoot to the loo.
'Oh wow. I really like him. Urgh, he probably has a girlfriend, oh my goodness this sucks...' I think to myself. I finish and wash my hands before coming out and grabbing my stuff, then stepping out the door to Calum's car.
I get in and after a five, or so, minute drive, we get there.
"Want to come meet some friends of mine?" He smiled across to me before we get out.
"Sure, why not!" I smile.
We get out and I grab my guitar and rucksack before heading into the school with Calum. We get in and walk down some hallways to his locker, where five figures are lurking.
"Calum!" One of the girl squeals. Great, his girlfriend... "Who's this?" She asks looking at me.
"This is Tara, my new neighbour!" He says proudly. "Shes from the UK!"
"Hi, I'm Leah," the girl smiles, "This is Darcy!"
"Hey!" The other girl responds.
"This is Luke, Ashton and Michael. Leah is dating Ash, and Darcy is dating Luke, Michael is dating me..." Calum says laughing.
"Well its nice to meet you guys." I smile.
"You too, hey Cal, we'll catch you in free period, alright?" the boy they named as Luke said as he wrapped his arm around Darcy.
"Yeah, cool, I'll bring Tara along too, yeah?" He replies.
"Yeah, definitely!" Darcy laughs as they both walk off. Darcy was definitely the cute and funny one.
"Are you bringing her over tonight? When you all come over?" Ashton asks as Darcy and Luke leave.
"I was gonna ask in a minute...I'll catch you later though yeah?" Calum responds.
"Cool," Ashton chuckles, "Hey gorgeous, hop on!" He laughs, as he squats down in front of Leah. She hops on as he takes her to class. You just hear he squeal, "We'll catch you later Tara!".
Michael shrugs and says, "I'm going to math." As he walks off, waving his hand up as he leaves.
"Well, you need to go to music. Then sport." Calum laughs at me.
"Yeah I guess, they'll all laugh at me though, because I cant run, and they'll be all perfect and stuff. Urgh." I mutter.
"Well, I think your perfect." Calum smiles, picking up my chin. "I'll text you in a minute or two," he winks, "See you in free period!"
Then he leaves, constantly looking back at me.
Oh god I love him.
