Vanessa's point of view

"I'm the girl you die for," I sang as I put my necklaces on. "I'll chew you up and I'll spit you out, cause that's what your love is all about, so pull me closer and kiss me hard, I'm gonna pop your bubblegum heart."

I danced in front of my mirror and then held my hairbrush close to my mouth. "I'm miss sugar pink, liquor liquor lips, hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss."

My hair had fallen in my face, which I had straightened and left a little messy and uncombed. I looked in the mirror and laughed, realizing I looked kind of like a rocker.

"I'm miss sugar pink, liquor liquor lips, I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch." I said and then kissed the mirror out of the spur of the moment.

A dark stain remained and my eyes widened. "Oops." I said and saw Calum in the background. "Hi." I said and he walked in.

"Bubblegum bitch?" He asked as he grabbed a tissue off of my vanity table. "Lipstick stains on a mirror? Who are you?" He asked as he grabbed a glass cleaner from the last drawer.

"Someone." I said and he rolled his eyes as he cleaned my mirror. "Thanks Cal." I said and he kissed my forehead after nodded. "Is Arzaylea ready?"

"Yeah, she's just grabbing her purse." He told me and I nodded. "Where is the rest of your shirt?"

"In hell." I said and he rolled his eyes, he asked about my jeans and I looked at them. "Also in hell." I told him.

"Well then." He said and nodded as I pulled my jeans up. He grabbed my glasses and then put them on, scrunching his nose up a bit as he looked in the mirror. "I look like a nerd."

"Well... I'm not going to disagree." I said and he laughed as he set them down. "You ass, you dirtied them." I said and grabbed them, looking at the lenses.

"Vanessa? Calum?" Arzaylea called out and he immediately stepped away from me as I cleaned my glasses. "There you are, are you ready?"

"Yes." I said and Cal nodded. I followed her and Calum followed me. "You look great Arz." I said and she hummed.

"I feel like I'm going to get so much shit for my outfit..." She said and stopped to look in the mirror. "My shirt is fine right? Doesn't look... I don't know... slutty?" She asked me.

"Not at all." I said and she sighed, nodding her head. "Calum, does Arz look like a slut?"

"Not anymore than she always does."

"Hey!" She said and Calum laughed. "You're so rude Calum, why do you hate me?" She asked and he shook his head.

"I don't hate you, chill." He said and she nodded as she walked downstairs. "You look fine Arz, why do you suddenly care so much?"

"I don't know, I feel like it's too showy. Especially since I'm like... I'm not... I'm not Bryana." She said and wrapped her arms around her stomach.

"Just because you're not Bryana doesn't mean you aren't just as beautiful." Calum said and shrugged. "Come on, stop being so insecure. Be the confident person that you are."

"That's an internet persona." She mumbled and grabbed the keys. "You okay with driving Cal?" She asked and he nodded.

"Where are we going?"

"Somewhere?" Arz asked and Calum nodded, saying that we could stop by a diner and get lunch. After that we could go take ad walk since it's ad nice day. "Sounds great."

"Poor Luke, he's missing out an a nice day." I said and Calum nodded.

"He had to meet up with Management." He told me and I nodded. "Something lead singers do very often." He muttered and I felt a bad for him because I know he still takes what Luke said to heart.

-

"Why?" I asked and Calum hummed. "Kids from school, they're in my algebra and PE class." I said and he asked where.

"The only table full of teenagers Calum." Arzaylea said and he looked around. He saw the table and then looked away. "You just gave them the perfect picture."

"I cry." I said and Calum shook his head as he looked at Arzaylea. "Mariana and the Diamonds is the reason why I'm such a heartbreaker." I said.

"You're single, what the hell?" Arzaylea said and I laughed. "You've always been single, how are you a heartbreaker?"

"Let me live my imaginary life how I please." I said and Calum folded his hands under rested his chin on top of them.

"What is this imaginary life?"

"None of your business." I said and then smiled sweetly as he rolled his eyes. "Shh." I said and listened carefully. "Do you hear that?"

"What?"

"The sound of my heart stopping and dropping." I told them and Calum face palmed. "It's Panic! At The Disco." I said and Arzaylea listened in.

"Hallelujah. Good choice." She said and nodded as she laughed.

The waiter came by and smiled, asking us what we'd like to drink and if we were ready, to eat. He eyed Arzaylea the wrong way and I honestly wished Luke was here to tell him to fuck off of his girl.

We all ordered since we were ready and he nodded, telling us he'd be back. He gave a sly smirk to Arzaylea and Calum rolled his eyes. "Pig."

"He's like thirty." Arzaylea said and laughed. "No honey, I'm good." She said and I nodded.

"Yeah." I said and ran a hand through my hair before stretching a bit. "It's hot." I whined and Calum agreed with me.

"God damn LA." Arzaylea said and I nodded, agreeing with her. "This ain't a scene it's a," she sang and banged on the table lightly. "Damn arms race."

I laughed with them and we all sang the song quietly so we weren't kicked out. "This ain't a scene it's a, god damn arms race." We said and I knew the girls in my class were probably filming us.

If they're wondering what were doing, I don't even know what we're doing. I don't even know how this started. It just... It just happened.
I shot them a peace sign and then winked before going back to the conversation. "Has Miranda called you yet?" Calum asked me and I shook my head.

"No. Not even a text." I said and he nodded. "I don't understand." I said alnd he rubbed my back.

"It's gonna okay." Arzaylea said and I shrugged as I played with my napkin. "She's going to be fine, don't worry about it okay? If she's not fine then she'd tell you."

"Okay." I said and ran a hand through my hair again. The waiter came back with our drinks and a tray of food. We thanked him and he left as I picked a french fry off of my plate.

"So, I have a proposal." Arzaylea told me and I hummed. "The band is going back on tour soon, and Luke really wants to bring you so you can go to the UK." She said and I nearly pissed myself.

"There's a catch isn't there?"

"Besides for having to sleep on a bus and in hotel rooms with them, and having to share a room with Luke and Calum, not really." She said and smiled. "Unless continuously skyping me is a bad thing."

"It starts when schools out so hey, no school." Calum said and I smiled. "So, up for it? Luke would have told you himself but he asked us to do it."

"Yeah, hell yeah I'm up for it." I said and laughed. "What kind of a question is that?" I asked him.

"We'll settle things out, but I'll tell Luke you want to go. I told him you would." Arzaylea said and pulled her phone out. I smiled and dipped my crench fry into ketchup before taking a bite.

"Having your phone at the table is rude Arzaylea."

"Talking with your mouth full is rude Calum." She said and rose an eyebrow at him as he rolled his eyes. She put her phone away and I took a drink of my water.

"Wait like..." I said and sat down, actually thinking about what they told me. "I'm going to be going to the UK... United Kingdom.... with-with my favorite band..."

"Yes."

"Dreams do come true." I said and they laughed as I pretended to wipe my eye.
