Opposites Attract (Calum Hood A.U.)

Chapter 5.5 - Get Over Me

Calum's POV

"Ca-Calum Hood?"

Her reaction actually made my day. She wasn't really expecting that she'll be living with me just as much I wasn't expecting her living in our house.

She was staring at me for an awfully long time then she slapped her face. Ouch that must've hurt. She kept on slapping her face and she even pinched herself.

This is not a dream, princess.

Did I just fucking call her princess?

Calum, are you serious right now?

I gave her an amused smile and I think that got her out of her trance. "You! Y-yo-" She was stuttering and I swear that was cute.

What the freaking fuck, Calum?

Before she could talk, I spoke first, "Well it seems like you don't need any help in here. I'm just going to back insi-"

"What are you doing in here?!" She interrupted me.

This is it. "I live here."

Her mouth was wide open, "You could get flies if you keep your mouth open." Was I really that jaw dropping?

She stood up and pointed me the purple bag sitting inside the truck. "Oh. Well that b-bag right there. It's uh-it's too heavy."

I quickly obliged and took the purple bag from the truck preparing my muscles for the heaviness. I got the bag and it left me confused. It wasn't even that heavy. It's actually really light.

I ignored it since I was kind of a jerk to her, I let it slip. I just took two other bags so it would look like I was struggling with how heavy it was. I went back inside the house and she followed after.

--

My mom greeted us as we enter the house. "Oh! I see you've met my son, Calum, this is June. Don't you know each other? You go to the same school." I stiffened when she asked.

What if June tells her about what I've done?

I'm so dead.

"Oh, yeah-uh he's really famous in school you know being the top student and soccer captain." June replied. Please end the conversation.

"Is that so? He's usually pretty boring so I don't see why he's so famous." Mom, really? The both of them chuckled at the statement and that was the first time I heard the most beautiful sound ever.

What the hell, Calum? Most beautiful sound ever?

Yeah, duh, my mom's laugh is the most beautiful sound ever.

Right.

"He has a sister named Mali-Koa but she lives in London now so Calum is the only one here." I miss Mali. So much. She's like my best friend but then she had to move to London, and then Luke moved to London, too.

Why the hell did everybody move to London?!

June smiled at mom, "Aw, I wish I could've met your daughter, I'm sure she's sweet." Mom told me to bring her bags upstairs. I climbed up the stairs and June followed me.

I dropped her bags on the floor outside her room.

"Your room is over there. I'm pretty sure you can carry them by yourself now. I'm really busy, so I don't want you disturbing me for any matter." The bags weren't even that heavy, I'm sure she could handle them.

I hastily went to my room. It's true though, I'm really busy. I've got homework to do. But before I could come in my room she spoke, "Uh-Cal-um." I turned around and furrowed my eyes at her. "What." "Uh-th..thank you."

She smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back but before that happens, I turned around and loudly closed my door.

But then I remembered that I have to remind her something so I went out again and she was still there, struggling with her bags. "Oh I almost forgot."

She looked at me and blushed. Cute. Not.

"Just because we're now living under the same roof, doesn't mean you can talk me in school. Don't talk to me. Got it?" She nodded and I went back to my room.

I don't want her to be made fun of at school anymore so I had to say that. When she's with me, she'll only be just in trouble. I don't want be even guiltier than I am right now.

I couldn't help but wonder what life would be from now on. Will she be this annoying stalker since she likes me or will she be the reserved one? Guess I have to find out in the following days.
