Calum

This is gonna be great! Priscilla, Jake, Adam, and I are going to ride this makeshift sled thing down a hill.

"C'mon babe." She holds her hand out to me.

I hesitate but get in. She's behind me, Adam is infront of me and Jake is at the very front.

We push off.

"WOO-HOO!" We all scream.

"Guys, I lost control." Jake looks panicked.

"Oh shiiiiiit." Adam jumps out into the grass.

Jake hesitates but jumps too.

Priscilla screams.

"Go babe!"

She jumps.

I'm about to jump but the sled thing jumps into the air and straight into this billboard. Luckily, I fall into a bed of grass that breaks my fall, somewhat. I cough and spit out blood.

A bright light shines into my face. "Mr. Hood, what were you thinking!?"

"S-sorry, Darrell. I'll, uh, pay for it to be fixed."

He sighs. "Fine. I have your mother on speed dial..."

Yeah.... I've been getting in trouble a lot since Kota left.

♥♥♥

"Wha- what!? A billboard!?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Calum Thomas Hood!"

"It's alright, Joy, he's already promised to pay for the damages."

I didn't know that everyone would be here..... even Dakota..

I hang my head, unable to look at her.

Dakota

The officer leaves.

"Calum! This is the third time in the past two months!"

He sighs. "Sorry mum..."

She sighs.

"Mrs. Hood, I can help pay of the damage...." I offer.

She smiles. "It's fine dear."

"How much will it cost?"

"Twelve hundred..."

"Easy! Pa, how much money did we make at the farm?"

"At least three times that."

"Andrew, it's fine. Really."

"No, no. It's our pleasure."

She smiles, giving in. I see Calum smile too. He mouthes 'thank you.'

I smile. "It's no trouble."

My dad gets the money and gives it to the owner of the billboard the next day. Calum and I are walking home. My dad stayed at the owner's house to make sure they'd accept the money.

"Thank you, Kota."

"It's not a big deal. I had the money..." I smile.

He smiles too. "I'm difficult, but I promise I'm worth it..."

I laugh. "Okay."

I feel his gaze on me but I choose to ignore him and the butterflies in my stomach.
