It Started With Hello

chapter 4

"my dad will kill me." I though of the idea of what my dad would do if he found out I was with not one, but two boys.

"tell him you'll be with a friend." I laughed at the words slipping from his mouth. "what's so funny? " he smiles.

"you guys are the only ones I talk to." I giggle as Calum's facial expressions change.

"why?" they ask in unison.

"because you guys get me. and no one understands my sense of style other than you guys." I looked at our black skinny jeans and band t-shirts.

"true." they shrug.

"tell him you have an assignment and you're going over to their house to work on the project. " Luke nods approvingly.

"you guys are too experienced with this kind of stuff." I giggled and agreed with them.

We finished lunch with small talk and music. The bell rang and we all dumps our trash while on our way out.

~~~

After school I brought my phone out of my pocket and dialled my dad. The line rang twice before his voice was heard. "what happened?" he sounds like he's in an okay mood.

"I have an assignment and I'm partnered so I was wondering if I could get a head start and go over to her house. ?" I began to grow impatient as i spotted the bows closer and closer.

"yeah fine but I'm not picking you up." I thanked him and hung up.

"what'd he say?" they spoke in sync.

"he's not picking me up. do you have skateboards?" he nodded with a smirk.

"this is going to be fun." we headed towards his house as I played music. I love that we all have the same taste in music.

"here we are." he shoved the door opened to a large house. It smelt like lavender and it is so clean and tidy.

"let's set our stiff down and make food." we set our things in the corner of the living room and we followed Luke into his kitchen. "what do we want..." he hummed as he scoped the refrigerator for food. His arm was draped over the top of the fridge door and he was slightly bent over to see into the cooler.

"let's make a cake." Calum smiled from ear to ear when I agreed.

"sure sounds good. " I let the boys get everything out for me as I sat on the counter.

"okay now what Viv?" I giggled and mixed the eggs into the batter and filled with water. I mixed the batter and poured it into the pan.

"okay open the oven." I set the cake into the heat and grabbed the spoon. I swiped my finger over the strawberry batter.

"I want some!" Calum argued as I ran into the kitchen with the spoon.

"guys I have to pee." Luke's voice is heard from upstairs as I'm getting cornered into the wall.

"give me some!" he wined.

" nope I made it!" he snatched it from my hand and held it above his head.

"so I opened the oven!" I laughed at the idiotic come back. "reach for it." he laughed.

I jumped up not even getting close to the spoon. "no fair I'm little!" I crossed my arms over my chest like a five year old.

"so! " he licked the spoon clean and I took a seat on the couch. "are you mad?" he sat next to me. Thigh on thigh.

"yes!" I pouted and his arm was around my shoulder in seconds.

"why?" his other arm around me and his face centimeters from mine.

"go away!" my actions are complete opposite from my words because my head is rested on his chest.

"woah!" Luke's voice is heard from the stair case. I'm on my feet in seconds and I'm sure my cheeks are as red as a fire truck. "did not see that coming."

"shut up Luke." Calum walks over to the kitchen to check on the cake.

"lets make sandwiches. " Luke takes out the lettuce.

~~~~

we sit in Luke's bedroom and eat our food. "so where are your parents?" Calum asks and lays on my lap.

"my grandparents." he nods and my hands are on Cal's forehead.

"okay now that we're done with our food what do you guys wanna do?" Luke speaks as he takes our plates to the kitchen and we follow.

"we can play hide and go seek." I smile. "your house is big enough." I shrug.

"that actually sounds fun. we can turn off all the lights. " we all agree to play and Calum is it.

"okay 1, 2, 3...." I hear his voice in a distance as I run down the hall.

I find a small closet and hide under the sweaters in there. "ready or not here I come !!!!" he shouts and I can hear his foot steps in this direction.

"are you in" I hear a door open and close. "no..."

"I found you." the door to the closet I'm in is opened but he doesn't move the sweaters off of me. Instead he is shoving himself in the closet with me and I'm not convinced that he's found me yet.

A giggle escapes from my lips and he cusses under his breath. "you ducking scared me!" he laughs as I scoot over.

"I found you." I told him.

" no I found you." I laugh and I don't know exactly where his face is. its so dark in here.

"so now that you found me you have to go find Luke. " I giggle and his hand caresses my cheek.

"I don't want to find Luke." my breath is hitched by how close we are to each other.

"that's not how you play the-" his lips are pressed against mine in a soft and gentle kiss. He withdraws and stands up.

"now I can go find Luke. "

~~~~

"guys its almost six I have to go." I speak into the pillow on my face.

"shit okay let me get my skateboards. " we follow him outside and he hands me the best looking one.

"let's go." we skate through the neighborhoods without causing too much trouble.

By the time we are in my neighborhood its around six thirty and I have them stay on the side of the house to make sure my dad won't see them.

I walk inside and hurry upstairs to give them the signal.

They see me and skate by casually. I giggle to myself and throw myself onto my bed.
