5SOS - BABYSAT BY IDIOTS

Chapter 49

The guys and I decided to forget about the whole thing and watch a movie. We watched Guardians of The Galaxy and it was hilarious. After that, it was 11:42 and I had to go to bed.

THE NEXT DAY

After taking Cocoa for a walk and feeding her, I went to the kitchen and saw Calum chewing some gum and was on his phone. "Ooh, where'd you get the gum?" I asked. He replied, "Corner store. Want some?" I said, "Sure." Then he handed me the pack from his pocket and I took a piece. I chewed it and it tasted weird. "Calum, what flavour gum is this?" I asked. The gum was green. "Asparagus," he responded. Just then, I spit my gum on the table and Calum started laughing. "I'm just kidding! It's sweet mint! But that was hilarious!" He exclaimed. Then I hadn't noticed that I turned my head and my hair nudged the table, picking up the gum and sticking it in my hair. "Uh, Nicole?" Calum said.

Nicole: Yeah?

Calum: Your gum is in your hair.

Nicole: What? (Sees gum in hair and tries to get it out). Calum, it won't come out.

Calum: Oh, no. Luke and Ashton are going to freak.

Nicole: What am I supposed to do?

Calum: Uh, for now, hide it from Luke and Ashton.

Luke: Hide what from Luke and Ashton?

I noticed Ashton and Luke had just walked into the kitchen. Calum's face got red and I gripped that area of hair to cover the gum. "Uh, nothing. I didn't say hide. You are hearing stuff, Luke," Calum said nervously. Then Ashton chimed in and said, "Nicole, why are you holding your hair like that?" Then I got nervous and said, "What do you mean? I'm just holding my hair. Heh, what's so wrong with that?" Luke and Ashton looked at each other and shrugged and Luke said, "You guys are weird." Then Luke and Ashton walked out. When Calum and I were sure they were gone, we said, "Phew! That was close." Calum said, "Nicole, we really need to find a way to take that gum out of your hair. I'll search up ways on the Internet and you go try washing it with water. Maybe that'll work." I nodded as I went to the washroom and tried to wash my hair. It didn't work. The gum stayed in my hair like a magnet to a fridge. I continued to try until Calum came in and said, "Okay, I found a way. We need olive oil, hairspray, body lotion and yogurt." I made a disgusted face but we got all the things and went to Calum's room. He put them all in my hair and the gum was out. "Oh, thank goodness!" I said as I stood up. Calum said, "I think I should be the one to cheer. I would've been toast if Ashton or Luke found out." I laughed and it was all over. After that, I went to my room and I decided to text Jessica.

Nicole: Hey jessica! what's up?

Jessica: (5 minutes later) nm u?

Nicole: I was just saved by Calum

Jessica: what happened?

Nicole: I got gum stuck in my hair and Calum had 2 use hairspray, olive oil, body lotion and yogurt 2 get it out

Jessica: u do realize u could've just cut the piece of hair

Nicole: and ruin the
even-ness of my hair? no way sista!

Jessica: LOL okay.

Nicole: so what r u doing right now?

Jessica: reading teen bop magazine. it says that I can get a boyfriend by fixing my hair bcuz hair is the first thing boys look at

Nicole: interesting

Jessica: what style should I do with my hair?

Nicole: try a bun.

Jessica: well remember last year I wore a bun, u said a looked like an old lady

Nicole: oh yeah. LOL. try curling ur hair

Jessica: okay!

Nicole: but how would u find a boy if school won't be starting for another 2 months?

Jessica: online dating?

Nicole: good idea but that's 4 people 18 or older

Jessica: dang it!

Nicole: u could try txting ur other friends and asking them if they know any boys. first of all, who do u like in school?

Jessica: Travis

Nicole: u like travis?

Jessica: I'm only telling u bcuz ur my friend and I know u wont tell anyone

Nicole: right. ask one of ur friends if they have his #

Jessica: but if I do end up getting his # and texting him, he'll think that I'm a stalker and I'm desperate

Nicole: well idk why ur asking me. I have no clue about boys except 4 they r jerks.

Jessica: except 4 Travis

Nicole: yeah yeah yeah

Jessica: maybe i'll ask taylor. she knows a lot about boys

Nicole: yeah u do that.

Jessica: I will do it now. bye!

Nicole: bye!

Then I quickly ended that chat and texted Taylor. I said, "Careful! Jessica's going 2 text u and ask u about boys! be ready! 😬!" I smiled to myself and then heard Ashton say, "Whatcha' doing, Smiley McGoo?" I looked up and saw Ashton in my doorway. "Just texting," I replied. He said, "No boys?" I then tilted my head and gave him the You think? look. He nodded his head as he recognized the motion. Then he said, "Lunch is ready downstairs. Or are you too busy smiling?" I took a deep breath and said, "No, I'm finished, thank you very much." He laughed his normal girly laugh and I left my room walking downstairs with him. Before I could go in the kitchen, both Ashton and I stopped in our tracks as we heard a voice in the kitchen which sounded like Luke. We heard him say, "Dude, she must've been traumatized." Then what sounded like Calum's voice said, "She's probably over it, Luke. She doesn't need reminders." They were most likely talking about me. I hoped they were talking about Carson. I took a deep breath as I walked in with Ashton and said, "What are you guys talking about?" They both looked at me and then at each other. Calum straight out said, "Luke thinks you're still freaked out about..."
