Description: Calum Hood, the schools golden boy. He’s the reason that the varsity team is undefeated for four years. He’s got perfect grades, a scholarship to one of the best colleges in the country. But no one knows his secret, that his passion for music is bigger than his passion for soccer. And what happens when Ember Williams finds out that secret? Read to find out.Chapter 1 2. Throughout the whole week, I could not stop thinking about Calum in the band room that day. I can’t get the sound of his voice out of my head, even though I only heard it for a few seconds. I want to hear it again, I need to hear it again. It’s driving me crazy.Because he’s a grade higher than me, we’ve rarely had classes together, so I never see him. This year we have Spanish together, thankfully. I always try to get up the courage to talk to him during that class, but I always wimp out, or he’s busy with all of his admirers and friends. In the end I leave that room disappointed, and angry with myself.But today was different. Our teacher announced that we would be working with partners. It seemed to take forever for him to assign partners,“Andrew you go with Callie, Logan and Sean, Calum, lets put you with Ember, Andrea, how about you and Veronica.”I silently thank Mr. Garcia while making my way to where he was seated, next to his other team mates. I bite my lip and stand there awkwardly until he finishes his conversation about the game this Friday. He looks up at me and smiles, his cheeks getting slightly red.“Lets go sit in the back?” he questions and I nod, following him.He gestures for me to sit at a desk and I do, he pulls a chair out and sits on it backwards, facing me.“So, we’re supposed to do a report on a country that’s official language is Spanish…” I recite from the board behind Calum.“What country do you wanna do?”He takes a moment to think, “Hmm…. how about Chile, or Argentina?”“Argentina sounds good.” I reply.“Argentina it is.” he smiles sweetly at me, making the butterflies in my stomach to go mad.We’ve been working on the assignment silently for a while now. I keep telling myself to talk to him about the day in the band room, but I keep wimping out. So I just stare at him. It sounds creepy, I know, but he is just so attractive, and adorable at the same time. Like how strong his jawline is, drives me insane, but the way he sticks out his tongue slightly when focusing, is just so cute! He’s completely perfect in every way, and now knowing that he has amazing musical abilities, just adds on to that perfection, and it makes me want to tear my hair out because I know he’d never go for a girl like me.A girl that is so completely ordinary and boring. A girl that is not special at all. And person as special and extraordinary as Calum deserves a person just as special and extraordinary as him, and I am simply not that person. So I just frown, staring at his perfection.He glances up at me and see’s me frowning, “What?” he questions“What?” I say meekly, turning red.“Why do you keep looking at me like that? Do I have something in my teeth?” he laughs while holding his phone up examining his teeth, shooting me a goofy grin.“No! I was just…” I trail off, embarrassed that he caught me.“You were just what?” his face starts to slowly turn serious.“I was just remembering Wednesday in the band room… You have an amazing voice Calum.”He looks down at his lap, starting to blush.“I know this probably sounds so creepy, but I cannot stop thinking about how good you were. I didn’t even know that you liked music, let alone could play the guitar or sing. You’re amazing, and now I’m rambling.” I mutter the last part and look down at my hands.“Do you really think so?” I look up at him, a look of hope across his face.I nod vigorously, and he grins so big, I can’t help but grin back at how adorable and attractive he looks.Right as he opens his mouth to say something, the bell rings. I mentally groan, wishing that I had more time to talk to him, but I needed to get to my next class. His friend calls out his name, taking his attention from me. I quickly gather up my things and start to head for the door. Someone grabs my wrist so I turn around, and it’s Calum. His touch sends a jolt of electricity down my spine, and is gone once he lets go.“Meet me in the band room after school?” He nibbles on this lower lip, distracting me for a moment, but I nod snapping out of my trance. He grins at me and walks out the door.The bell finally rings, signaling what I’ve been waiting for, for three tortuously long hours. Slowly I make my way to my locker, placing my books in their correct places, then start to head to the band room. My palms begin to sweat and my stomach flips. I stand outside the door for what seems like years. Finally I muster up all of the courage I have, and open the door.I immediately spot Calum, sitting on the piano bench, with the same black acoustic guitar in his arms. He looks up from the ground and smiles, looking relieved.“I thought you weren’t gonna come.” he scratches the back of his neck.I shrug, it’s quiet for a moment, until I finally speak, “Why did you ask me to meet you here?”“I um.. I don’t know.. It was kinda like the spur of the moment, you know?” his cheeks turn red, and I can’t help but to grin.“Yeah I know.. Why don’t you play something?” I ask hopefully“I’ve never played in front of anyone…”“Oh you’ll be fine I promise.” I give him an encouraging smile.“Fine, what song though?” he bites his lip starting to look nervous“You were playing I Miss You by Blink-182 on Wednesday, weren’t you?”He blushes even more and nods.“Play that, if you want. I know the piano part to that song so I can play along if you want?”He nods, locking eyes with me for a moment. I can see all of his emotions, just by looking at his gorgeous brown eyes. I can see the nervousness and insecurity, something I’d never imagine Calum Hood to be. He’s always just so laid back and confident, never doubting himself. It’s a completely different side of him and I get to see it. I give him a small smile and sit next to him.I nod at him, and he starts strumming, and I start softly hitting the keys on my que.“Hello there, the angel from my nightmareThe shadow in the background of the morgueThe unsuspecting victim, of darkness in the valleyWe can live like Jack and Sally if we wantWhere you can always find meWe’ll have Halloween on ChristmasAnd in the night we’ll wish this never endsWe’ll wish this never endsI miss you.”I start to harmonize with him and he looks over at me. I smile up at him and continue to play. I enjoy every second of hearing him sing. The song reaches its ending point and we both hold out the last note. I look up from the piano to see him already staring at me. I blush and look down at my lap.“You’re amazing.” My voice is surprisingly soft, just above a whisper.“So are you.” he replies in the same tone of voice.I finally look up at him. His eyes lock on mine, and I can’t look away. It’s like I’m in a trance and he’s pulling me in. I notice his eyes glance down to my lips quickly. He starts to lean in, and I do the same. My eyes flutter shut as our lips are just about to touch.She’s a rebelShe’s a saintShe’s the salt of the earthAnd she’s dangerousI jump away from Calum and dig my phone out of my pocket, I don’t recognize the number “Hello?”“Ember?” Lucy, my younger sister’s tiny voice rings through the phone.“Luce?” I question“Ember where are you?” she sounds scared, and I suddenly remember the text from my mom.Don’t forget to pick up pick up Lucy from ballet practice at 3 today.I look up at the clock to see that it’s 3:15, did I really spend that long with Calum?“Shit! Lucy I forgot I’m sorry, stay right there, I’ll be there in 5 minutes okay, stay right where you are.” I say and jump up to grab my bag.“Okay.”“I’ll be there soon okay? I love you.”“I love you too.” she hangs up and I look to Calum who has an adorable confused face.“What’s going on?” he stands up, still clutching the guitar in his arms.“I forgot to pick up my little sister from ballet practice, I have to go I’m sorry.”“Oh.. um, okay.” he chews on his bottom lip and looks disappointed. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” I promise him, walking out the door with the same look of disappointment on my face. __________ so chapter 2 yay! haha tell me if you like it guys pleasee -Hannahxx -- source link
