Chapter 4(Years of Winter)

It had been a week since I met Calum. I went to the diner everyday after school. We talked until closing time and eventually knew almost everything about each other. We texted until midnight every night.

I tried to find Calum at school but it seemed like he was dodging me during school. In English, I tried to sit next to him but his stupidly hot friends surrounded him. I ended up sitting next to a kid named Oscar.

At lunch, I didn't find him or his friends so I had to eat at the annoying dumb loud popular table. Of course, no one acknowledged me, so I had a semi-peaceful lunch. I didn't want to seem like a stalker but I thought Calum and I were friends that could see each other at school.

This happened everyday for the past week. I tried talking to him and sitting next to him (I made friends with Oscar since I always ended up seated next to him). At the diner, he jumped over the counter almost instantly when I walked through the door and hugged me. I liked to call them CALUM CUDDLES. At school, I don't even exist. It just confused me.

I slowly got off the bus and trudged to the diner. I trudged in, and as I guessed, he ran over to me and enveloped me in a bear hug. He whispered a shy hi in my ear. I seriously couldn't stay mad at him. Especially when he did his pouty face. LAWD. SAVE. ME.

"Hi," I whispered.

He led me to our favourite booth. As we sat across from each other, he kept hold of my hand and intertwined our fingers. I smiled at the gesture and gave him an air kiss. He caught it and pretended to slap it on his cheek. I suddenly remembered that I was mad at him.

I kept one of our hands intertwined but used the other hand to point an accusing finger at him.

"I have a bone to pick with you," I scolded.

He looked a bit frightened by my facial expression.

"Yeeeeeeeeesssssssss?" he questioned while dragging out the word.

"Why do you avoid me at school?" I asked.

"I didn't think you would notice," he murmured.

I was frustrated.

"Didn't think I would notice?" I questioned while giving him a look.

He shrunk down in his seat. I softened at his expression.

"Of course I would notice," I said, "A very hot guy, avoiding me is noticeable." I rolled my eyes.

Calum blushed but quickly replaced it with a smirk.

"Oh, so you think I'm hot?" he boasted, sitting up straight.

I scoffed, "Of course, but don't change the subject. Why?"

"Why what?" Calum asked.

"Don't play dumb. Why do you avoid me at school?"

He sighed, "I just thought that sense you hangout with the cool kids, you wouldn't want to be seen with me."

HA, boy was he wrong.

"Cool kids? Huh, sweetie, I am anything but cool. I am the annoying Asian fangirl who helps people with homework. I would love to be seen with you because a super hot Australian male walking me to class would definitely raise my self esteem. Now, don't get wrong because you have the best personality and you are just adorable. And you are, literally, the only friend I have that goes to my school. I don't hangout with the cool kids. I just sit there at lunch. They don't acknowledge me because they are just N.T.S.B." I said.

(^^^ That is just an inside joke with my friend. It translates to Nasty Thirsty Salty Bïtches.)

"What does N.T.S.B mean?" He asked.

"Oh, you know, just Nasty Thirsty Salty Bïtches."

He laughed his adorable zebra laugh. I died then and there.

"I'm sorry that I avoided you in school. I really didn't mean too," he apologised.

I shook him off. (a/n STUPID T SWIZZLE THAT SONG IS NUMBER ONE AGAIN UGHHHH
THE STRUGGLE IS REAL SHAKE IT OFF MORE LIKE FÜCK IT OFF)

"Soo.... Whatcha wanna talk about?" I asked in weird accent.

{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}

We talked for hours but we also did homework. He tried to make me an Oreo milkshake. That was a mistake. Instead of a milkshake in a cup, I got milkshake in my hair. He added all of the materials and pressed the blend button. Guess what happened next. I dare you. Well if you guessed *drum roll*: he forgot the top, then you are correct. He decided that Oreo on my face and up his nose was not a good combination. Don't forget the Oreo on the walls. He got some on his biceps and started to lick it off. I just stared like a creep and maybe drooled a little here and there. Man, they were like the size of my face.

I needed to get the Oreo out of my hair so I took a shower in the giant sink we used to wash the pots and pans. I wasn't full on naked. I kept my lower half covered and my sports bra. I just washed my hair. Calum decided that he didn't want to get his singlet wet so he, of course, "had" to take it off. He was shirtless and still had shorts on, but they were really low and showed his toucan boxers. They were adorable. I made Calum leave the room because I didn't want him to see my fat arse half naked. He insisted that I stay in the room because he claimed that he didn't know how to turn the sink off. It wasn't like I was complaining.

We were dressed and dried at about 6 PM. He was going to make me chicken noodle soup but after the Oreo incident, we decided that I would make it. The diner still had customers so we couldn't blast music while cooking, but we played it softly in the background. I was singing off tune while Calum was leaning on the counter singing like an angel. I was jealous. He was in a band called 5 Seconds of Summer. It had been confirmed that it was not 500 Years of Winter. I had never heard them play before but they were coming out with an ep called Unplugged. That was a pretty cool thing to happen to any artist. Apparently, they had two covers and two original songs. Calum wrote most of the original songs with the help of his other hot band members. The were just hot AF.

I finished cooking the chicken noodle soup. Calum and I sat at our booth and slurped up the soup. Well, he slurped and I drank because it was apparently rude to slurp soup and make noise while eating. Stupid cotillon.

Calum took our dishes and washed them in the giant sink we used as a bathtub. He came back with a giant bowl of vanilla ice cream that was topped with Oreos. He also had two ice cream scoopers in his hands.

"I thought I could make up for the milkshake explosion with ice cream," he said sheepishly.

"You did, trust me," I praised while looking at the massive mountain of ice cream in front of me and making grabby hands.

"Mhmm, I know," he grinned.

We chowed down the ice cream with euphoria. We kept moaning almost every spoonful. The Riverside Diner had the best ice cream.

Twelve scoops each later, we emptied the whole pan and I felt like I was about to burst. Calum, on the other hand, looked like a little corgi. He was cuddly and tired looking like he wanted to take a nap. I wanted to join him and get a CALUM CUDDLE.

We started eating around 8 and finished two hours later. We were really slow eaters.

It was closing time and I helped Calum clean up the diner. When we locked the door and were outside, we just stayed in the cool late summer breeze. I was bouncing on the balls of my feet trying to think of what to do. But Calum already had something in mind. He grabbed my waist and pulled me to him.

"You and me, this Saturday at 7:00 PM. Meet me at the diner. Don't be late," he demanded.

Before I had time to speak, he lightly but forcefully kissed me.
