Emily's point of view

I glanced at Calum, seeing only his lips move. I didn't hear a word he said over Selena Quintanilla's voice. I didn't want to hear his voice over her's.

He rolled his eyes and took my headphones off. "What are you doing?" He asked and I looked at him as if he as stupid.

"I was listening to music," I said and he sat down on my bed beside me. "You have my attention, what's up?" I asked and he shrugged.

"Nothing, just left alone with you because the guys suck." He said and I nodded. "What song were you listening to?" He asked me.

"It is called Dreaming of You and it's by Selena Quintanilla." I said and he just looked at me, blinking his eyes a few times. "She's a Mexican singer and she died in 1995."

"I want to hear it." He said and I nodded. I unplugged my headphones and then played the song from the beginning.

I let the song play as I went to my kik messages with Jasalyn and Calum leaned his head on my shoulder. "I've heard this song before. Mali likes it." He told me.

"It's a good song, I love her music." I said and I asked Jasalyn what she's up to. "All the songs that play are by her, this is literally just a playlist full of her songs."

"Nice." He said and chuckled. I turned the screen off and then set it against my stomach, the music still playing.

"Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight, till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight," I sang softly and yawned. "This song makes me sleepy and sad."

"Changing it then." He said and grabbed my phone. He changed the song and Bidi Bidi Bom Bom by her played loudly.

"Hell yeah." I said and we laughed. He let the song play and he set his chin on top of my head as he hugged me.

"This is kinda weird." I said because his chest was right in my face. "If you get any closer, I will bit your damn tit off."

"My tits." Calum yelled and practically fell out of the bed as he held his chest. "Only Ashton can bite."

"So gay." I said and he nodded as he laughed. My phone rang, interrupting the song, and I groaned. "I wish I didn't have friends sometimes." I said and answered the call, putting it on speaker.

"Where the hell is yo ass Em? You left us alone to deal with Mr. Dickhead." Lucas said and I snorted.

"His head is big but it does not resemble a dick, I'd know." I told my friend and Calum pushed me. "Aw fuck Cal, don't do that. It hurts."

"What the hell? Who's there with you? Don't do what? What's he doing?" Lucas asked me. "Fucking Emi-"

"Mi papá Lucas." I said and he immediately shut up. I chuckled and Calum rolled my eyes.

"¿De verás?"

"Sí."

"Ya veo."

"What is going on?" Calum asked and I heard Kimberly yell.

"That is Calum fucking Hood oh my god tell him I love him for me. You're related to Calum Hood? How is that? Nevermind. Oh my god-"

"Silencio Kimberly, por favor." I said and she told me that her white ass doesn't know Spanish. "I said to shut the fuck up."

"She didn't say that Kim, she just asked you to be silent, and she said please." Lucas said and I rolled my eyes.

"You have some weird friends." Calum said and I agreed. "Hi!"

"Hi! I love you! You're my favorite and you play bass really well, especially in Disconnected and Hey Everybody. Slay those basslines baby and-"

"It's weird now. Kimberly please leave, go suck dick or something." Lucas said and I groaned.

"Shut up Lucas, you too Kimberly." I said and Calum just scoffed.

"Let her fangirl. I need the confidence boost." He said and the girl went on and on and on about every little thing. From Calum's lisp, to when he pierced his lip, to the way he plays bass, and to the clothes he wears.

"Kimberly," Lucas said and she suddenly shut up. "Yeah, go talk to your boy toy, I need to talk to Emily's hoe ass."

"I am not a hoe, watch your language you pick axe." I said and he snorted, telling me that was terrible and that I should never use that comeback ever again.

"Anyways, that girl you're into, I gave her your number. She told me that she wanted to hang out because she feels bad." He told me.

"You're shitting me."

"I shit you not." He said and I looked at Calum, who gave me a smile. "Just wait for her text, it should be after school. If not, later on since it's lunch."

"Got it." I said and he cursed. Suddenly the line went dead and I shrugged. "She wants to hang out with me, I'm so excited." I said and Calum chuckled.

"That's great." He told me and smiled. "I'll have to drop you off somewhere then?" He asked me and I shrugged.

My phone buzzed and I grabbed it, reading the message from Lucas and from a new number.

"Principal nearly caught me on my phone, sorry bro"

I laughed and told him it was fine before reading the message from the new number.

"Hey its Jasalyn, got ur # from Lukas, wana hang aftr school?"

"Urgh, the way she types." I said and Calum rose his eyebrow at me. "I forgot she types like she can't spell." I told him and he laughed.

I texted her back saying that I would love too and then sat on my bed. "How do you get so popular so fast?" He asked me and I shrugged.

"I don't know, get in a fight on your first day of school and you get a lot of friends and enemies." I said and he nodded, taking that for an answer.

-

"So I'm dropping you off at the mall?" He asked and I nodded as I brushed my hair out, already having it straightened. "How long are you gonna be there?"

"Not entirely sure." I told him and he nodded. "I'll call you when I need to be picked up, is that okay?" I asked him.

"That's fine." He said and smiled as he texted someone on his phone. "You're wearing that to the mall?" He asked me and I laughed.

"No pendejo." I said and looked in the mirror. "Who leaves the house in just a bandeau, skinny jeans, and socks?"

"If I was a girl, I would s-"

"Shut up." I said and we both laugued. I pulled on a cropped red halter top. "Should I wear a bandana?" I asked and he nodded.

"Never ask me that question, I fucking love bandanas, especially when Ashton-"

"Woah there Calum," I said and wrapped a red bandana around my hairline, covering for the back with my hair. "Chill out there man."

"Sorry, I got carried away." He said and I nodded. I sat down on my bed and pulled on some black and white Adidas, lacing them up after.

"You look like those girls who classify themselves as 'bad'." He said and I laughed. "You just need the fake lips and seven hours of make-up."

"Be nice." I said as we both laughed. I clipped a silver watch onto my left wrist and then pulled a bunch of silver, black, and red bracelets on the other.

"Phone." He said and I turned around immediately, catching the device. I turned it on and it was Jasalyn saying she's almost there.

I told her to meet me at Barnes and Nobles, and she said that she would. I put my phone in my back pocket and then I put on a pair of silver spike earrings.

"Put a few rings on, if someone wants to fight, you just tore their face." Calum said and I gasped.

"Aw hijo, you've been around me way too long." I said and he snorted. "Go back to Ashton, you shouldn't be thinking about fights."

"After Ashton told me his sister was harassed at school, I'm not taking any chances." He told me and I nodded, slipping around few rings on each hand.

"How do I look?" I asked and he looked at me.

"Like your sixteen, which you're not, so please." He said and I laughed. "It's not so much the outfit because every girl seems to dress like that now, it's the belly button piercing and the jewlery."

"Yes or no?"

"Eh... Ash is gonna kill me but I say yes."

"Great, can we go now please?" I asked and he nodded as he got up. "Whoo!" I cheered and followed him downstairs.

-

"What's up?" I asked as I met up with Jasalyn. She had a cup of Starbucks in her hand and a bag from Barnes and Nobles in her other hand.

"Just waiting for you." She said and smiled. "I picked up some new albums for my dad aswell, he's a rock n roll child. I got him the Highway To Hell record."

"That's sweet of you." I said and she smiled as we left the store. "How was school?"

"Terrible." She said and pulled the straw away from her mouth. "My teacher gave me detention even though I was in class on time and my girlfriend is being a... a bitch." She said and I nodded.

"What happened?"

"She's just talking a lot of shit and she's been acting very bitchy lately. I don't know, it's my relationship, I'll sort it out." She told me and smiled. "Also, I'm so sorry about her. She gets super jealous and it's kinda irritating sometimes."

"It's fine, and are you sure? I mean, I can help if you need someone to set her straight-"

"No no no, it's fine." She said and laughed. "No more fights, please. I really don't want to be the cause of another fight." She told me and I nodded.

"So, what store do you want to go into?" I asked and she looked at me.

"Mind helping a sister out and getting some new crop tops and skirts?" She asked and I shook my head. "Come on, H&M is literally right there."

I followed her into the store and we walked around. "This is cute." She said and held up a grey, long sleeved crop top.

"It is." I told her and smiled. I felt kinda bad for the images running through my head, but at the same time, damn. "Gonna buy it?"

"Yeah, why not? I think it's cute." She said and grabbed one in her size. She held it and we looked around some more.

"Yes or no?" She asked, holding up an olive colored skirt that looks like it's supposed to be super tight.

You're killing me man.

I nodded, unable to really speak because the olive green color really makes her hips stand out and it's just, damn.

In general, she's just damn.

That's kinda offensive actually... oops.

"I'm going to go try these on." She told me and I nodded. She went to the dressing room and I ventured into the boys' side of the store.

I looked around and grabbed a few muscle tanks and a few baseball shirts. I pulled out the money Calum gave me and then paid for the items, knowing full well that they'd fit and would look amazing on me.

I took the bag and then went back to the dressing rooms, just in time to see Jasalyn walk out in the clothes. "Does it look good?"

"Damn."

She laughed and I blushed, not meaning to have said that out loud. "I'll take that as a yes." She said and looked in the mirror, checking herself out. "I'll buy it." She said and nodded.

She went back into the dressing room and I heard a famiar laugh. What the-

"Emma, what are you doing here?" I heard Melissa ask and I rose an eyebrow at her. "You don't shop at H&M."

"I do now." I said and held up my bag. "I'm with a friend." I said and the door opened.

"Oh." She said and looked at Jasalyn. "Well, call me when you leave so we can get picked up at the same time."

"Got it." I said and she walked away with her friends. "So, let's go pay for it and stop by some other store." I said and she smiled while nodding.

"I'm down."
