Calum

"There's definitely something going on with you and Erin." Luke whispered. He sat next to me during English and this is the first thing he's said to me. "So what?" I muttered trying to take down the notes that I needed for my next assignment.

"You two get defensive whenever someone mentions you both. You've definitely done something." He whispered back, trying not to attract anyone else's attention. "We've kissed, nothing more. Can you get off my back about it now?" I huffed rolling my eyes.

Being open about me and Erin isn't something I like. I'm not ashamed of her or us im just worried about breaking up when school ends. "Mate don't stress, if she really likes you and you really like her, you'll find a way to sort all this out." He smiled.

"I don't understand what makes you so insecure about us?" Erin said standing at my bedroom door. "We finish school in 4 months" I muttered quietly. "So? This isn't just about school Calum. I don't like you just because we go to the same school." She said stuffing her hands in her pockets.

"But we leave Erin! You want to go to England! And me, I want a scholarship at NYU. 4 months of being with you and then years without you." Erins facial expression went from obviously annoyed to sad, her eyebrows furrowed and her feet brought her over to me. "We'll both be coming home on breaks and stuff im sure." She mumbled wrapping her arms around my neck and sitting so her legs are around my torso.

"But what if you come home with a boyfriend? I don't want to lose you" I mumble pressing my face into her neck. "Would i have snook around with you if I didn't want you?" She mumbled. "I don't want to lose you either Cal." She unwrapped her arms from my neck leaving her hands there. "I like it when you say my name like that" I smiled hugging her waist to me. "Why?" She said leaning her head to the side a little.

"I don't know, it just- the way you say it makes me feel weird." She smiled softly pulling my face closer to hers. "I really don't want to lose all this" she mumbled quietly against my lips before pressing them to mine. I slowly ran my tongue over her bottom lip to only to be denied access. She smiled against my lips and quickly pulled away.

"I don't want to lose this either" I mumbled. "You better not come home with a girlfriend either." She said glaring at me. "I won't, so should i wait till after college to ask you out or?" I said smiling. "Is that your way of asking me out?" She smiled. "I guess." I said chuckling nervously. "Alright." She smiled. "Got to spend as much time together as we can in the next four months as we can." I said with a small grin on my face. "Loser" she said sticking her tongue out at me. "Yeah, but now i'm definitely your loser."

"This is so weird" Erin admitted laid next to me her hand wrapped in mine. "I know" I chuckled. "I haven't had a boyfriend in like forever." She shrugged. "I told Cleo we kissed by the day an i kinda texted her and said you asked me out." She said giving me a sorry look.

"I told Luke too" I laughed. "We're terrible!" She laughed.

"Sorry I've got to go" i frowned standing on Erin's front step. "It's fine. We have school tomorrow anyway." She smiled standing on the step above making her the slightest bit taller. "Yeah but I can't kiss you at school." I pouted. She rolled her eyes, a small laugh escaping her lips. "Looks like we'll still have do some sneaking about. At least Luke and Cleo know, they'll probably tell Mikey and Cal too" she shrugged. "What we do is our business babe. Nobody else's"
