Always Him

Chapter 3 - The Texts

Birds are singing, mum has her reggae playing downstairs, I can hear dad whistling along in the bathroom. Subconsciously I can hear many sounds but I'm trapped in my dreams. *beep, beep, beep* My alarm tears me from my world of make believe and I slam my hand on the clock to make it shut up. Normally people think others wake up looking perfect. Not me. I wake up with my hair standing tall on my head like an afro. My eyes barely open and I yawn like a hippopotamus does. Yes I'm ugly first thing in the morning. It takes a lot of effort to look at least slightly pretty. I sit up on the edge of my bed and check my phone. The normal routine. Its 7.30am and I have countless missed calls from Calum. Why is Calum ringing me at this time? Just as I go to text him, he calls again. I answer hesitantly. "Hello?" I ask. "Ana, can you meet me today?" "I can't really Calum, I'm meant to be meeting Lacey in an hour then Luke a little later..." "Oh okay, how about tomorrow?" Im sure I could meet him tomorrow? I have nothing planned with Lacey or Luke tomorrow. "Sure" I answer. "Great" he says cheerily "I best go, Ash wants to go through guitar solos with me soon" he replies. "Okay Calum, I'll speak to you later, bye". "Bye Ana". Well that was weird, he never normally wants to meet only me. Something weird is going on I swear.

******************************

*door bell rings*

"I'll get it, it must be Lacey!" I shout to my parents. I open the door and sure enough, my best friend is standing there. "Hey guurrrl" she says to me. That's our thing by the way. "Hey guurrrl heeey" I say back to her. We are really weird, but she gets me and my weirdness. If it weren't for her and the way she accepts me, I swear I'd never have been myself around anyone. "So what are we doing today?" She asks me as if she doesn't know. "We're meeting Lukey silly!" I tell her smiling. "That boy has taken over your life girl, you should just marry him and get it over with already" she giggles. "Shut up and get inside" I tell her. " You know Luke and I are just friends" "Of course" she says sarcastically. I jokingly punch her in the arm. We walk to the kitchen because we're waiting on Luke to come and pick us up in his amazing blue Lamborghini. Did I mention he drives a blue Lamborghin Gallardo? Well he does and its beautiful! Its nearly as beautiful as me. Joke.

I hear the rev of the engine and the sound of his horn. "Lacey, he's here!" I say as a huge smile forms on my face. She rolls her eyes and says "let's go then, bye mum and dad". Of course she calls my parents mum and dad. I call her parents the same thing. Its like we're meant to be sisters with different parents. That's how our lives were planned. "Bye darlings" I hear my mum call as we shut the door behind us.

"Luke why are you leaning against the car like the guys do in the movies?" I ask him. "You look stupid". "I'm waiting for you to jump in my arms soon can recite a small poem and make you fall in love with me" he jokes. "Shut up and drive" I tell him as we get in the car. Coincidentally, the song shut up and drive by Rihanna is on the radio. Lacey and I giggle at each other till Luke realises what we are giggling at. "You girls are weird, sort yourselves out" he tells us. What a kill joy.

Ping!!!

My phone is blowing up with notifications! Calum, why are you texting me soo much?! I best reply I guess.
'Hey Ana'
'Ana'
'Hey Ana answer your phone'
'Can you text me back'
'I miss you'
'Hey'
'Hey'
'Ana'
'Answer please'

How many messages does he have to send to me?! I will answer when I realise I have a textx I don't need a thousand messages!

'Hey Calum, sorry for not replying, I was with Luke and Lacey all day. What's up?' I text him. It takes a few minutes for him to reply.

'Can you meet me? You are my best friend after all'. Best friend? When was I Calum's best friend? I'm confused.
'Okay, meet me at Costa in 10 minutes?'

'Sure, see you soon' he replies.

I grab my hoodie Luke gave me from the end of my bed and leave the house to meet the boy who now tells me I am his best friend. Why has he asked to meet me? Wow, theres many questions running through my mind but I need to focus on being there for him if something is wrong...
