Wherever You Are (Calum Hood)

Chapter 1

Holly's POV:

I strut out of the school building, it's the last day of 12th grade. It feels good to officially be out of school. I like that my school doesn't drag out graduation, we had an assembly today to get our diplomas, and that was pretty much it. I get a few whistles my direction as I walk to my dark blue Chevy Malibu. Let me introduce myself, my name is Holly Garing, I was one of the most attractive girls in school, as I've been told. I don't believe it one bit, but I go along with it. I'm a mischievous girl that likes to have all sorts of fun, one condition though, you can't be boring.

"Holly! Lets go!" Kyra yells as I get closer to my car. I have 3 best friends, Kyra, Lilly and Morgan, we are more like sisters though. I being the only brunette stuck with two blondes (Kyra and Morgan) and an artificial red head (Lilly). So essentially, I'm the mother of the group, keeping them in line, but also getting them to be mischievous, and also the brains of all operations. I walk up to the car, and let Kyra and Lilly get in the back seat, while Morgan takes shot gun. My phone dings as I sit in my seat and I get a text from my mom.

"Aye, mom texted me, she says she has something to tell all of us." They say okay and I start the drive to my house.

"I'm playing music!" Kyra yells, connecting her phone to the Bluetooth. The car fills with music as we drive to my house. When we get there, I get out of the car and lock my doors so they can't get out, it's a four door car, but I keep locking it when they unlock it. "Holly! Let us out you bitch!" Morgan and I laugh even harder. Finally I unlock the door and allow them to get out.

"Let's gooo!" I run up the driveway into my house, the girls walking in behind me. I'm the smart one, but that doesn't stop me from being goofy. "What did you need to tell us?" I ask my mom as we all enter the living room and gather around her.

"Pack your bags! We are going to Australia for the summer!" We all look at each other in pure shock. "I've already talked to all your mothers, and Steve got us all plane tickets for cheap. We leave tomorrow, start packing!" We start jumping up and down, and I run up to my mom and hug her tightly. Steve is my moms 'soon to be husband', he's okay, he's better than the last 3 that's for sure.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank youuu!!!!" I say over and over, while she laughs. "Okay, you guys go home and pack while I pack here, and when you're done get your asses back here!"

"I'll drive you girls to your houses, lets go!" Mom says jumping off the couch and walking out the door. The 3 of them nod and squeal, leaving the house in a hurry with my mom to pack. I run up the stairs into my room and start packing everything I need. Mom said earlier that it's their winter down there, but it's still pretty warm, so I pack jean pants and shorts, long sleeve and short sleeve shirts and a few hoodies, followed by heaps of underwear and socks, a few bras, and several different types of shoes. I also pack a few cute outfits, just incase we can all go clubbing while we are there. I go into the bathroom and grab a few necessities, then throw them into my suitcase. I text Ethan, my latest hook up, telling him that we are over, since I won't be home all summer. He was getting too clingy anyway. I'm so excited to leave, we can party over there and I can get me an Australian guy. The more I think about this, the more I get excited.

"Wakey wakey girls! Time to get up and leave for vacation!" My mom says in a cheery voice, turning on my bedroom light. We all groan and cover our faces with our blankets from the blinding light shining in our eyes.

"Sleeeeeep." Kyra groans. Mom throws a pillow at Kyra, then beats the rest of us awake with one.

"Sleep on the plane! Don't make me get the water bucket." You can her the smirk in her tone of voice, and she isn't afraid to do it. My eyes shoot open and I sit up, no way am I getting drenched this morning.

"Okay, okay you win." The sleeping zombies all become alive as we throw on shorts, shirts and our hair in buns. We all look like shit but it doesn't matter anyway.

We eat breakfast at the McDonald's inside of the airport while we wait for our flight. Not my favorite place to eat, but you make do with what you have. It's about 9 in the morning and all I want to do is arrive in Sydney and go sight seeing. The flight is going to take almost 6 hours, and that doesn't include getting out of the airport and to the rental house. So tonight is going to be a night in, the time zone difference is really going to fuck with us. I mean, they are 6 hours ahead, so our sleep cycle is going to be way off.

"So since we are 18, can we go clubbing?" I ask my mom. My mom is usually the cool mom, she's only yelled at me once for throwing a party at our house, but that's about it. Her famous line is "as long as you're safe and use your head".

"As long as you girls are safe, make smart decisions and use your head, then yes, you can go." We all discretely say 'yes!' under our breaths. This is so exciting, clubbing is fun, but clubbing where for us it's legal? Oh man we are going to have a blast.

"Flight 191 to Sydney is ready to board." The crew member says over the intercom. Us 6 throw out our greasy food, grab our luggages and head toward the gate, this is going to be a long flight.

-

Six excruciating hours later we arrive in Sydney. We all slept most of the flight, but when we weren't sleeping, we were all anxious to get there and see what it's like. We exit the terminal, and try to find the exit so we can go to our house. Oh this will be fun. We stay together as a little group so we don't lose each other. Finally, we are able to leave and get in a rental car Steve is paying for, now off to the house we go. When we arrive at the house, about a half hour later, it looks like a normal everyday house. We start to grab our suit cases and walk into the house, the smell of cinnamon drifting through our nostrils.

"Okay girls, we get the master bedroom which is upstairs, and there is 2 rooms with 2 twin beds. So go crazy!" Steve says, while laughing with my mom.

"I call Lilly!" I say, leaving Kyra and Morgan together. They aren't too happy about it, but I know we will all end up sleeping in the same room eventually. Both bedrooms are exactly the same, with a conjoined bathroom, so technically there is 3 master bedrooms. I look around our home for the next 3 months and I'm astonished by how beautiful the house is, even though we will barely be here. We all settle in for the night, picking movies off Netflix to watch, tomorrow is our adventuring day.

Calum's POV:

"Dude why are you in the recycling bin?" Luke asks as I lay on my stomach with my face in the recycling bin laying on the floor.

"Why are you not in the recycling bin?" I question. Suddenly, someone starts banging on the bin, scaring the shit out of me and making me crawl out, being revealed to 3 laughing boys. I check my phone and see Mariah texted me, this is the 10th time in the last 2 hours. I sigh to myself and put my phone back in my pocket. You think if I didn't answer the 2nd or 7th time, she would get the hint, but she's kind of an airhead.

"What was that about mate?" Ashton asks. Mariah is a girl I hooked up with once a few weeks ago, and now I'm just tired of her. It was a one time thing. She's too clingy and predictable, and acts like we are in a relationship. I just want to have fun, no strings attached, that's all.

"Mariah texted me again." All the guys make a disgusted face at her name. They all know the deal with her, I mean they are like my brothers of course they know.

"Just tell her you're not into it anymore." Luke says. I shrug it off, not really wanting to deal with her drama.

"Doesn't matter anyway, he'll be fancying a new girl by tomorrow I betcha." Michael says. I can't argue with him, I move on from people pretty quick, I guess you could call me a hoe. "Let's go play video games at my house!" Michael yells out next, we all shrug and leave the park, heading to his house for the rest evening to play video games and eat pizza.
