Now Is Good, Never Is Too Late

Chapter 2

"Dude, wake up!" Luke shouted at me as he jumped on top of me.

"Dang it, what time is it?" I curled up and pushed myself towards the head of my bed and stretched out for my phone.

"Nawh! It's only 11:40... ELEVEN FORTY?! Luke we're late!" I shouted.

"Chill man, it's just a meet up. Told them we be at 11.30 though. Get your butt in the toilet bro! Chop chop!"

"Urgh!" I grunted.

I slithered out of the blue sheets and went to get ready.

I lived with my buddy, Luke, and he of course lived with me. We're like brothers, only we're not and the only thing that differentiates us both is our hair colour. Apart from that, we're just a clone of each other. Some people say we're identical twins from different parents and I must say, that joke never gets old. Luke and myself do almost everything together. We've been great buddies since 2010 and there's also another one of us that completes the trio, what they always called, "The Three Muskateers." That person is Michael... and I'm late to meet him!

I was texting Allie while Luke and I were slowly walking to the park. Michael and Ashton said that they will be waiting for us there.

"Luke says hi!" I sent to her.

"Hello Lukey! Haha where y'all heading?"

"We're meeting Mike and his cuz. :D"

We continued texting until I realized that we've reached the park and Michael didn't look so happy. I couldn't help but laugh at his angry facial expression - it was hilarious!

"Overslept again, Cal?" Michael questioned me like he was an investigating officer and I was guilty of something heavy.

"Hahahaha yeah. Sorry I had you both waiting."

I kept my phone close with me as I'm always texting Allie. We always have something to talk about. Michael snatched my phone and told me to spend some time with them. I rolled my eyes. I took my phone back and sat at one of the benches far from the boys who were riding swings and swinging as high as they could. They called me an 'emo boy', it didn't bother me though. Far from the noise and constant immature yet fun competitions going on amongst the boys, I was FaceTiming Allie. She's such an amazing girl. We talked about her schooling here and about hanging out together and also about how she's coping with the things that are rushing by her in her life. She amuses me. I love to talk to her and get to know more about her. I feel like there is a certain bond between us and it was so quick and strong, we don't know how it happened in the first place!

"So when will you be in Sydney? I thought maybe I'd meet you once you're here... If you don't mind." I said to her with a grin.

She giggled.

"Sure you can! My dad's picking up almost all of my stuff tomorrow. I'm leaving Adelaide on the following day so I'd most probably arrive on the 17th!"

"Awesome! I can't wait to meet you! We'll go to the beach, -each let's go get away!" I did a fine impression of Nicki Minaj.

Allie continued singing and I joined her as well. I honestly can't wait to show Allie around when she comes to Sydney, let her meet Luke, Michael and Ashton, and let her meet some of the girls in the neighbourhood so they can be friends! I want her to have a great life from now on because I cannot stand thinking that someone is upset or depressed or anything but being happy and that I can't do anything about it. I want her to have friends like she told me she have always wanted to. I want her to be accepted for who she is and not where she come from and anything that was of behind her. I've witnessed countless tears that her eyelids shed and behind every single tear, I was the only one who knew they reason why they're strolling down her cheeks. Our webcam sesh has rarely ever been a happy one and I'm hoping that when she's here, things will change. Most of all, I hope she likes me because I'm not prepared if she were to dislike me all of a sudden when we meet for the first time.
