Calums p.o.v

When we got to Ericas house she showed me to her room. " sorry it's a little bit messy " she shyly apologizes , picking up a few things.

" no it's fine , don't worry about it " I tell her. She looks up and smiles. " ok um , let's get started I guess " she replies , hitting her hands on her thighs as she gets her books from her backpack.

" so uh , what do you want to start on? " she asked , sitting on her bed , looking up at me. " well , what were we learning today? " I asked her , acting clueless. It wasn't exactly an act I wasn't paying attention at all. " the quadratic formula " she said , flipping through the pages in her notebook.

" then let's start there then " she smiles. God she's so beautiful when she smiles. She starts explaining everything and I find myself not paying attention to her teaching , but to her in general. Her eyes as they scanned the pages , her fingers as they tapped against the book or were pushing her hair out of her face , her little facial expressions as she reads. I find everything about her adorable.

" hello? Calum? " she asks , snapping her fingers in front of my face.

" sorry I was thinking about something " i was thinking about how much I've fallen for you

" what were you thinking about? " she asks , closing the book. " because I know it wasn't about math. " she sighs , brushing her hair out of her face.

Come on calum tell her " well I was thinking about how I was gonna ask you on a date " I mumble.

Her eyes flick up to mine " what? " she asks quietly

" Erica I've liked you for a really long time and I really really want to get to know you better. So , will you go on a date with me? " I ask , grabbing her hand and intertwining our fingers.

She looked down at our fingers and smiled " ya , I'd love to " she blushed.

See , what was so scary about that?

Another short chapter , sorry ~ Rachel ❤️
