*ring ring*

The phone slowly weakened as I heard a voice pick up.

"Hello?" I heard a voice say sounding confused.

Do I just sit here and not reply? Do I say hi? What do I say?

"Hi, is this Calum?" I said in a nervous tone.

"Yes, Hey Em! How are you?"

"How did you know it was me?"

"I could tell by your voice."

He knew my voice? Already?

"aww." I said trying not to hint that I was bad at keeping conversations going.

It had been about 20 minutes talking on the phone to Calum, and I will admit, I haven't smiled this much in ages.

"Em, my mum just made dinner. Shall I see you tomorrow beautiful?"

Beautiful? Did he just call me beautiful?

"Aw alright, yes see you tomorrow, bye." And with that I just heard the beeping of a disconnected call.

By now it was about 7.30 and my stomach started to grumble. I walked down stairs to the kitchen to find dad there making himself a cup of tea.

"Hi Em, how was your day?"

"It was great.."

"Who were you on the phone to missy?" He said with a worried tone.

"Oh dad, don't be worried. That was Calum, one of my new friends. He winked and picked up his coffee while making his way up stairs.

Wow, what was that all about? I discarded that thought and grabbed out two pieces of bread from the loaf, and grabbed out the chicken, cheese, tomato and lettuce.

I walked back upstairs and placed the plate with the sandwich on it onto my bed. While taking a bite out of my sandwich "Kirri is calling you" popped up on my screen. I quickly without choking myself, swallowed my bite of my sandwich and answered with video.

"Em it's been so long!! how are you?"

We continued catching up when I heard a song playing in the background from Kirri's side of the skype call.

"What song is that?"

"oh my gosh, I love these boy's so much! I will link you the song, they're amazing."

I received the link minutes later and saw the title "Gotta Get Out - 5 Seconds of Summer" I pressed play and the minute I saw their faces, my jaw dropped.

"Whats wrong? Don't you like them?"

"Em?"

"Em??"

I still sat there star struck. How could this be? Why didn't they tell me? I looked down at the amount of views still sitting in silence and saw 100,004 views.

"Kirri, I..i know them."

"Really?! What?! How!?"

I still didn't believe that they were a band, a popular band, a famous band? Why wouldn't they tell me?

"Kirri.."

"Spit it out Em, tell me! How do you know them?"

"I go to school with them." I said looking down at my crossed legs.

The call when silent for about 20 seconds until I heard screaming.

"EM! ARE YOU SERIOUS!? YOU ARE SO LUCKY. OMFG. ARE YOU FREINDS WITH THEM? DO THEY LOVE YOU?"

"Kirri, calm down, I am almost as shocked as you are."

I was finally relieved after the skype call ended because Kirri had to go get ready for bed. By that time it was around 9.30, and i still couldn't believe my eyes. I clicked through all their videos, and saw a few links written down below. They were twitter links. They have twitter?

I clicked over to https://twitter.com/Calum5SOS and was stunned to see what he last tweeted.

"Just finished a cute phone call with someone beautiful. xo" It was posted about two hours ago. I looked at the time to see 7.40. Isn't that the time we hung up? Was he talking about me? Oh no.

I clicked onto the tweet to see it had 300 RT'S and 550 Favourites and had many replies such as, "Oh Calum I know, it was a great phone call." "call me baby" "follow me!!" "I love you." Wow, were the boys really loved? this much? I could eventually tell by the amount of followers he had. This was definitely something that shocked me, but one thing was still on my brain. Calum.

*zzzZZZzzz* My phone started to vibrate from my bedside table.

A text from "Calum." I saved his name to the number after we finished talking last night.

"I had a good day with you, we definitely have to hang out more, I am off to bed now, so have a good sleep & I'll see you tomorrow. x"

This text was really unexpected as we've only known each other for a few days but I guess it was cute of him. Cute? Did I just call him cute? No, no Em you didn't just call him cute.

How do I reply? I don't want to sound clingy. Maybe I'm overthinking this, he's probably just being friendly. I sat there for minutes staring at the text when I finally came to reply.

"I had a great day as well, I'd love to hang out more, sleep well! see you tomorrow (:"

*CALUMS P.O.V*

I sat there after sending the message. Am I too clingy? Will she hate me? Are we even friends? These thoughts kept rushing through my head when I heard my phone go off. I couldn't help but smile seeing her name "Em <3" pop up on my phone screen.

I opened the message to see;

"I had a great day as well, I'd love to hang out more, sleep well! see you tomorrow (:"

My tummy started to tingle and I couldn't help but smile.

Was I falling for her? Why am I smiling so much? Thoughts just kept rolling through my head until I decided I should probably get some sleep. I looked at the message one last time and locked my phone, getting underneath my blankets. I tossed and turned for a good 45 minutes, I truly just could not get to sleep. I had way too much on my mind, Em is on my mind. Eventually after about an hour, I drifted off to sleep. With all these thoughts still rushing through my brain..
