"Nice to see you again too." Says my new neighbor, aka the guy who I already spilled my drink on earlier today, good job Anne
"Oh my god, I'm such a dumbass, why do I keep spilling things on you."
"I really have no idea." He says while trying to wipe the cake of his face.
"Do you have a rag inside, so I can clean this mess up."
"Yeah follow me, we can clean it up together." He says gesturing for me to hook my arm into his.
So I did, while I blush 50 shades of red.
"Real gentleman aren't ya."
"Only for you." He winks at me.
I blush, again. Gosh why do I keep blushing?!
We take a pail filled with water and a couple of rags, and we clean the mess I made while we have small talk.
"So... you're not from here are you?" He asks me.
"It's obvious, isn't it." I say as I awkwardly laugh. "I'm from Holland."
"Seriously? That's funny, there's this guy that goes to my school and he's Dutch too. Which school are you going to, maybe you can meet him." He says with a kind smile on his face.
"It's called uh, Northwest something college."
"Northwest Christian College, yeah I go there too." He says as I'm thanking my homie Jesus for this blessing.
After we cleaned everything up he walks me to his front door.
"One question before you." He says. "Why did you throw the cake in my face when you saw it was me?" He asked with curiosity in his eyes.
"Uh, I-I-I just... I don't even know, I guess I was just surprised." I say stuttering.
"Just surprised?"
"Yup just surprised." I lied big time, I wasn't just surprised, I have never been this astonished by anything. I never expected to see him again, of course I desperately hoped so. But never in a million years I expected for him to be my neighbor.
"Okay." He winked at me, damn this guy winks a lot and I really love it. "I didn't got your name did I?"
"No you did not."
"Will there be a time that I will hear it?"
"Of course, it's Anne." I say with a shy small smile on my face.
"I don't want to sound all Augustus Water-y or anything, but what's your full name?" He asked with a smirk on his face as he scratches the back of his neck.
"Anne Daphne Chamberlain."
"That's one hell of a name." He says laughing
He said something after that but I couldn't understand what it was.
"Hey, I almost forgot to ask your name." I say while opening the door.
"It's Calum, Calum Thomas Hood..."

+ Calum's POV +
"Of course, it's Anne." She says with the most adorable smile on her face.
"I don't want to sound all Augustus Water-y or anything, but what's your full name?" I say while scratching the back of my neck, oh god why am I so awkward.
"Anne Daphne Chamberlain."
"That's one hell of a name." I say. "... for one hell of a girl."
She has this look in her eyes, but I can't figure out what it means.
Wait did I just say out loud that she's 'one hell of a girl', oh shit, I hope she didn't hear it.
"Hey, I almost forgot to ask your name." She says while opening the door.
"It's Calum, Calum Thomas Hood..."
I can punch myself in the face right now, I'm always so awkward around girls like her. I wish I had more self-confidence, just like Luke and Ashton. Michael's too but he mostly gets all the girls because of his awesome hair and the fact that he looks like a snuggly kitten. At least that's what all the girls say.
Then there's this guy Zeke, the Dutch one, why did I even mention him to her. She will absolutely love him, I want to puke at the thought of them together.
I'm the exact opposite of the four of them, they're the cool kids and I'm the misfit. . .

+ Anne's POV +
I wake up to the tunes of Basket Case - Green Day. Green Day, such a great way to start your day. Ha ha I'm lame af.
Today's going to suck balls because it's the first day of school. Thank god I have Calum, without him I would be a total loner. I wonder if he's one of the popular guys, he definitely has the looks for. So I bet he is.
I look in the mirror. At least my outfit for today is cute. I'm wearing my blink 182 singlet, with my black ripped skinny jeans that's way too ripped. And last but not least, a black chocker, my favorite thing in the world. I put on my make-up, and brush my black hair until all the knots are gone.
I walk downstairs and find my mother in the kitchen.
"Hey honey, are you a little bit excited about today?" She asks enthusiastically.
"Yeah, a lot." I say sarcastically. "Do you know the school's address."
She gives me a folder, and that immediately answers my question.
"But sweety, you know you don't have a car for at least two more months."
"Oh no, I forgot." I say.
"Maybe you could ask the cutie next door, I know you two talked for a while yesterday" she says while wiggling her eyebrows.
"Mom!!" I say lividly. "... but actualy it's not that bad of an idea, because he goes to the same school as me."
"If I were you I would hurry, he's about to get in his car."
I give my mom a kiss on her cheek, I take an apple from the counter and we say our goodbye's as I walk out of the door.
"Calum Thomas Hood..." I scream as I'm walking quickly towards him. "... will you do the honor to give me a ride to school."I ask formally.
"With pleasure, Anne Daphne Chamberlain." He says as he bows.
We laugh while getting in the car.

We arrive at school and I directly go to the front desk to get my time-schedule. Calum and I compare our schedules and see we have most lessons together.
"So, do you want a quick tour before we have to go to class." Calums asks
"Sounds fun." I smile at him.
We walk upstairs as we head for the lockers as I see something that I wouldn't expect in a million years. I drop my books as I look astonished by the person who is standing in front of me.
"Zeke?!.."
"What are you doing here?!..."
