6: old math notebook

last week here back at home. i was sitting outside in the backyard just thinking. literally, just thinking. staring into nothing.

i was faced away from the backyard door, and then i heard it open. since i was daydreaming, i blocked it out. then someone put their hands over my eyes.

"what the-"

i heard giggling. how could anyone not know that giggle?

"hi calum."

"hey babe."

"don't."

"sorry?"

"its fine. whatcha doing back here?"

"i was bored. looking for someone to talk to."

"well i'm here."

"okay good. it's about this girl."

"oooh caaalluuumm."

"stop it. well, she's really close to a really good friend of mine, and she's really pretty, but literally everyone likes her. and i've kissed her before, and i don't know. i feel like she's ignoring me."

"well, uh, then tell her straight up that you like her? better than keeping it a secret i guess. ask her out or something. do something that makes you catch her eye."

"dang. that's some good ass advice."

"well i'm a girl so."

"right. so what are you doing back here?"

"its my backyard.."

"oh yeah. but why did you come out here?"

"i don't know, nice weather. the sky's pretty. i daydream alot, and inside my room i get distracted alot so i came back here."

"what were you daydreaming about?"

"nothing really. i just like to think of random shit."

"for example?"

"uh, i don't know. pizza?"

"pizza? y-you wanna order pizza? we could split one."

"no sharing, remember?"

"nobodys home, your ma went to the mall with ashton and the guys. i was taking a nap and i guess they didn't wanna wake me up."

"i didn't feel like going."

"why?"

"the mall is really bland. they're going to get ambushed, you know."

"i know."

i sighed and looked around. in the corner of my eye, i could feel calum staring at me. i looked back at him and squinted.

"what?"

"what?"

"okay cal, you got your advice now leave me alone."

"*sigh* fine. but i'm ordering pizza."

"go for it."

he winked at me and walked back inside. i sighed really hard then rubbed my eyes. then i felt a drop of water hit me. then another. then another.

then it started pouring rain. yay. its raining. i continued to sit there, in the rain. i did that alot when i was younger. i absolutely love the rain.

i probably sat there for 10 minutes then went back inside. soaking wet.

i was walking past calum when he did a doubletake.
