Infinite

chapter 12

I get home and pop open my laptop and open the notes app. If I'm going to rant to Calum about his wrongdoings, I'm going to sound smart while I'm doing it. I start to type, my fingers striking the keys at a rapid pace, almost in rage. I felt the words surging through my bones as I typed it out because this was finally how I would get my point across to him and end his bullying spree. 45 minutes later, my fingers start to slow down and I stare at it with pride. I have typed something that will hopefully shame him. My phone lights up next to me and Michael's name flashes across the screen.

Mikey 💕- you. me. movie night. tonight.
Me- I'm flattered. Come right over the parentals are down with it. 😜
Mikey 💕- Be there soon babe.

Something about the way Michael called me babe all the time made me feel special, unlike Calum he just completely disgusts me. I hear the doorbell ring and I go to let him in. "Still digging the icy blue Clifford," I smile pointing up to this hair. "You know I rock it," he grins and leads me upstairs. "I wanna show you something I did babe. I think it's gonna help a lot with the Calum problem I'm having." I say. He rolls his eyes and exhales deeply, "You know.. I could just break his nose again." he offers. "Michael seriously just read this and tell me if it will work," I open the laptop and prop it on his lap.

MICHAEL'S PERSPECTIVE

As she hands the laptop to me I begin to scan the text. *not to be reminiscent on our old relationship but I thoroughly remember when we broke up you said to me that people are going to make fun of me in highschool and since I broke up with you nobody will be there to protect me except myself.... well think about in the hallway the other day you called me goth which is a form of making fun of me. Think about how that made me feel. Come to think of it, you're the only person in high school making fun of me. So isn't it ironic how you told me people were going to make fun of me in high school and you would be there to stand up for me but you were the person making fun of me and I'm standing up for myself. do you just enjoy to bully people bc I've heard of other times you've made fun of people as well and I hope you know that it's not okay to do that. Just a thought, maybe I'm wrong. I don't want bother you but I put some thought into this and it just seemed very confusing to me about what you said versus what you say now. have a nice day bye.*
I look up from the laptop and applaud her. "Simple and easy babe. I think it will work," I glance at her and smile. Her face lights up and I reach my arms out for her. "Enough Calum talk today we can do that another time. For now we cuddle," I say as I wrap my arms around her. "Oh look at bad boy Clifford wanting to cuddle with his girlfriend," she laughs. Wait did she just say 'girlfriend'? I glare at her and notice a slight look of panic flash across her face. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that," she croaks out. I simply smile and plant a small kiss on her nose. I get close to her ear and whisper, "Don't you worry babe. You're always mine." I feel her move deeper into my chest and get comfortable. I know I want this girl to be mine. Just not quite yet.
