I skipped through the hallway to the kitchen. La La La La La. I giggled as I used my fuzzy purple socks to slide around the corner. "Having fun?" Rach asked, smirking as she sat at the island on a stool. I nodded and grabbed a water out of the fridge before jumping on the counter of the island. I looked up at the ceiling and let out a relaxed sigh. "God, this place is amazing!" I smiled, "Wanna go for a walk?". Rachel nodded and wrote a note for Scar and Lauren. I grabbed my Nike Free Runs and slid them on before running to catch the elevator with Rachel. We got out to the sidewalk and began walking in whatever direction. We walked past a little coffee shop that had like 6 people inside and about 20 girls outside looking into the windows. "Wanna grab a coffee?" Rach asked, I nodded and walked through the girls to the door. I walked up to the barista " 2 iced caramel machiatos please" The barista nodded before walking away to make our drinks. I turned around and there stood Calum, Mikey, and Ashton. I gasped and grabbed Rachels hand and ran out of the cafe, but not before Calums eyes caught mine. We got to the front of our building before Rachel stopped me. "DELANEY! What the fuck is going on?!" I shook my head. "I just, I can't talk about it right now." I turned and ran up to our condo, where I locked myself in my room for the rest of the night.

BzzzzzzzzzzzBzzzzzzzzz

I groaned and rolled over to grab my phone. Who is texting me at 12:34 am?

*New DM*

@Calum5sos: hey, I know this may sound weird...but did I see you in the coffee shop this morning?

@DelaneyHaase: Um, yeah....

@Calum5sos: Why'd you leave so quickly without saying hi?:(

@DelaneyHaase: Um, I got sick and had to come home, I gotta go, Bye:)

I woke up at around 9 in the morning to loud banging on my door which I had locked around 11 am yesterday morning. "Delaney! Come eat! You havent eaten since yesterday morning." I heard Scar. "Im not hungry" I yelled back before pulling up twitter on my computer.

*New DM*

@Calum5sos: I hope you feel better.:)

@Calum5sos: Hey Beautiful, good morning! Hope you're feeling better!!:) Please answer:(

I was having a famous person begging me to answer his messages, I giggled.

@DelaneyHaase: Good Morning, Im feeling better thank you for being concerned :)

I closed my laptop and cuddled in bed before pulling up netflix on my tv. "Delaney, uh, someones here to see you?" I heard Lauren. Who could possibly be here to see me? I havent met anyone on this trip, We've only been her 2 days. I walked out to the living room where I saw the back of someones head and Rach and Scar sitting in front of the person. I cleared my throat but it hitched once the person turned towards me. "Hello Beautiful" He smirked. I looked down at my short pj shorts and large t-shirt that was too big. I gasped, turned and ran back to my room to change into something decent. I came back out a few minutes later in skinny jeans and one of my many volleyball shirts. "Delaney, I'd like you to meet Calum, Calum, Delaney" Lauren "introduced" us even though we already knew who each other is. "erm, wha-what are you doing here?" I was standing because the only spot open was next to Calum and I wasn't mentally prepared to sit next to the guy I spend hours thinking about. "I messaged Lauren to make sure you were feeling alright and to make sure you weren't lying to me." I looked down to the ground and slowly nodded. "She told me you hadn't eaten since yesterday morning, do you want to go grab some lunch?" I hesitated before looking at Lauren, Rachel, and Scar who gave me looks that said If you don't go I'll kill you. "Uh, sure.." He stood up and grabbed my hand before walking out the door, we got on to the elevator when Calum spoke up. "I've been waiting to meet you," he smiled at me. "Really?" I looked down at my sandals. "Yeah, I remember the day we first met, at the radio station." I smiled as he grabbed my and once again. I felt tingly inside, but just shook it off as he lead me to this little diner. I heard people screaming his name, Calum! Over here!!" another yell said "Who is this young lady you're with?!" Paparazzi. "Fuck," Calum muttered under his breath before sliding his hoodie off and handing it to me "Put this on and cover your face." He handed me his raybans and sped up his walking speed, my hand still intwined with his. " I'm so sorry, Delaney" He frowned. "It's okay," I giggled, trying to lighten up the mood as we walked into the diner, "Your giggle is so cute" Calum complimented, I guess he hadn't realized what he said. "What do you want to eat? My treat" I shook my head no. "You don't have to pa-" He cut me off, "I'm paying" He chuckled before opening the menu of which I did too. "So, why are you in Sydney?" He asked after the waitress took our orders. "Uh, My parents and Rachel, Lauren, and Scarlets parents sent us here as a last girl get away before we all head separate ways for college." He nodded, "Where do you want to study?" I smiled at him. He was taking such an interest into what I like and what hobbies I have. "I got accepted into University of Florida to play volleyball and study Early Childhood Education." He choked a little on his drink, "You're playing college volleyball?" I nodded. The waitress brought our food. Calum got a burger and fries, and I got a grilled cheese and onion rings. "Wanna swap half and half?" He asked, I laughed and gave him half of my sandwhich and he gave me half of his burger. I took a bit of my sandwhich, "Oh my cheesecake, this is heavenly." He laughed, "Well after not eating all day, I'm sure anything is heavenly." He paid for our food once we were finished and took my hand leading me outside, I put the hood on and sunglasses. "Can we go somewhere?" I hesitated, but nodded letting him lead the way.
