Clueless Love (Lumine X Kody)

Chapter 4-Does Elijah Have a Crush?

-Elijah's pov-

Kody texted me last night, he seemed worried but skeptical.

Kody

Hey you up?

Ya I guess, what's up?

It's nothing really, Lumine's
just having another nightmare
🙄

Have you ever had a nightmare
Kody?

I mean I guess but this
is different

How is it different?

What's with all the
questions?

I'm just saying maybe be
a little more considerate

Whatever night, I'm never
going to get any sleep at
this rate.

Alright g'night buddy

*End of texting*

'Last nights conversation caught me off guard, I wasn't expecting him to say anything like that at all but it's Kody he hasn't always been the nicest.' Elijah thought as he laid in his bed.

The next morning Elijah woke up to his school alarm, he forgot to shut it off for summer break. After turning off his alarm he fell asleep once more bit his mom had something to say about that.

She kicked his door open and started vacuuming right beside his bed. "Morning pumpkin~" she hummed.

His eyes shot open and in a split decision he decided to get up and eat breakfast. While eating cereal he got a text from Calla. His heart skipped a beat and he smiled goofily.

Calla

Hey, let me guess you're
either still in bed or
eating cereal(?) 😆

Lol you're right about the
second part

Oh really?

Yes really 😝

You up for hanging out
today?

Ya sure, I don't have
anything going on
Today

Sounds like a plan, so
where do you wanna
go?

We could head to the cafe
then the park only if
you're up for it(?)

Are you trying to ask
me out?

What no it's not like that,
I was just thinking that
It would be a great spot

A great spot for what
exactly? 😏

Um I mean it's a nice day
out so I just thought that
it would be nice to go
there...

Relax dummy I'm just
messing with you 😝

Oh right haha I
totally knew that 😅

See you at noon then?

K see you then

*End of texting*

'You dumb ass she was joking, how could I not realize that. Agh!!' In frustration I placed my head down on my arms trying to calm my heart. I was so flustered it was noticeable.

I was washing the dishes when my mom came down the stairs with a pile of laundry in my arms. "Hey pumpkin can you help out later?" She asks.

"Sorry mom I have some plans to hang out with a friend later." I scratch the back of my neck and put the gloves away.

"Oh ho you have a date later, ah I get it. Don't want to hang out with you're old crippled mother I see." She drops the laundry into the washing machine and placed a hand on her head and her chest. Trying to be all dramatic.

"MoOOooM it's not like that, she just a friend." I face palm my flushed face. After finishing up with the laundry I go up stairs and get ready to go out.

I put on a light grey t-shirt with a plaid over shirt and some jeans. I also brushed out my hair a little bit it just went back to it's normal looking messy.

I set off to the Crumble Hut Café, I texted Calla before leaving. I ended up arriving at the café around 12:32pm. I was so excited to see her, I sat down and waited.

10 minutes go by and no Calla, I text her to see if she was still coming. No reply, a few more minutes pass and I felt a breeze behind me. I shiver went down my spine and instantly thought that I was going to get kidnapped.

"Guess who? Haha you should've seen your face, sup nerd." Calla laughed and sat across from me. "You scared me." I finally manage to say.

"Oops sorry. Hey ya know what?" Calla starts. "What?" I ask curious. "You actually look nice today, you clean up well for a guy who only wears hoodies." She smiles.

"Thanks but I can't tell if you're joking or not." I jokingly say.

"Ah you're funny. Shall we order now?" Calla asks pulling in her chair a little. "Uh sure. What do you want?"

"I'll have a expresso, double double and some whipped cream please." She smiles big, I smile back and tell her to wait there whilst I ordered. I get up to the cash register and this nice young lady takes my order.

I take both drink back to the table. "Here you go, I hope they got it right." I say, she smirks and takes off the lid to cool it off.

We get to talking about how our summer breaks are going so far and some other stuff. "Ya wanna head to the park now?" Calla asks.

"Ya let's go." I finish my drink and throw it away, Calla stills has hers. We head to the park and find a good place to sit. It was right next to the pond under a tree but there was enough sun that it wasn't too dark or cold.

It was the perfect spot. "So Calla." I start. "Hmm?" She hummed. "Are you having any fun so far or not?" I ask scared to know her response.

"Well for starters it's a really nice day out and ya I'd say today was pretty good." She spoke looking off to the birds eating some bread crumbs. "Ya me too." I said.

-Calla's pov-

'I knew this was a date and that he liked me, I was just playing with him a bit before I tell him.' I thought as I finish my drink. "I'll be right back." I point to the cup and he nods, I walked over to the garbage can and throw my cup away.

He didn't know I was coming back at that moment so I caught him muttering to himself. 'Cute.' I say in my head blushing a bit.

I sit back down next to the nervous Elijah. "So, it's getting a bit late so I should get going. My mum needs help with the chores." I said getting up and stretching.

Elijah kinda looks a little sad but gets up anyway. "Hey Elijah, thank you for an amazing day." I turn around and peck him on the cheek. I turn back around and start the long journey back home.

-Narrator's pov-

If only Calla could see Elijah's face, he was as red as a tomato.
