Calum's POV

Our lips move slowly against each other, but we both pull away way too quickly. D.amn, that was good...

Realization suddenly hit me like a bus. I f.ucking kissed her. Why did I kiss her? Why did I just f.ucking kiss her?!

"I-I think you should leave," I stutter without looking at her. Kissing her was such a big mistake, oh god...The worst part is that I enjoyed it. I cannot get emotionally attached to anyone here, not now, not ever. 

"O-oh, okay..." she says quietly and gets up.

"Uhm, I'll see you later, I guess," she mutters before she leaves my room. I'm so stupid! What on earth made me kiss her?! Maybe it was her beautiful, dark brown eyes, or her plump and pink lips, or the way her- stop it Calum! I can't have these thoughts, I can't have any feelings for her! I just can't.

Now I'm bound to sit in here and think about my stupid mistake for the next week. I will think about the kiss, then I'll think about how I'm such a f.uck up, then I'll think about Jake, and everything will just suck. This is just great.

After a couple of hours, or maybe it was just minutes, my aunt knocks on the door before she enters.

"We're going out for dinner today. I have been seeing this man for some time now and I really want you to meet him, considering he will be around more now," she smiles. Oh, come on...

"We're leaving in half an hour, so get ready," she smiles before she leaves. I sigh loudly and lay back on my bed. I just want to sleep, honestly. That's all I ever want to do lately. It would be nice to sleep right now, but I can't, because I have to have a stupid dinner with my aunt a man I give no s.hits about in half an hour.

I get up and find a set of new clothes. I might as well shower. I'm not the type to take long showers, but lately I've found myself taking half an hour long showers when I usually just use ten minutes. I just always end up thinking too much and I lose track of time...This time, though, I manage to only use 15 minutes, giving me enough time to get dried and dressed before we leave. I don't bother wearing anything more special than my ripped, skinny jeans and a black t shirt. It's not like I want to impress him.

"Jakob!" aunt Carol smiles widely when we're at the restaurant. She says it with a Norwegian way of pronouncing it, and I can't say that I'm a big fan of it.

"Carol!" a man smiles and stands up before he embraces her in a hug and kisses her passionately. Ew.

"This is Calum," aunt Carol smiles and motions towards me. I'm already seated by the table, just wanting to get the dinner over with.

"Hello, nice to meet you," he smiles, with a thick Norwegian accent if I may add, and reaches his hand out to greet me. The only response he gets from me is a small 'hey'. He awkwardly retreats his hand as my aunt looks at me with a be-nice-to-him-for-god's-sake look, but I just ignore her. They sit down and a waiter gives us our menus.

"Carol has told me a lot about you," Jackass, or whatever his name was, smiles.

"Cool," I answer, not bothering to hide how uninterested I am.

"So, what do you think about Norway so far?" he asks. Why is he still talking?

"It okay," I say with a small shrug. That's really all I have to say about this place, it's just simply okay. I don't hate it, because it's not that different here. For me, I mean. I would only be lying in bed and stuff if I were in Australia too, so it's the same.

A waitress walks over and says something in Norwegian, and I'm yet again amazed by how stupid the language sounds.

"What would you like to drink Calum?" Jakob asks me. His voice annoys me, his accent annoys me, and most of all, he annoys me.

"Water," I say without looking up from the menu. He says something to the waitress and she answers before she walks away. I read the menu several times just to avoid any small talk before I decide what I want to eat. It surprises me how expensive this country is, even the smallest things costs a lot. Not that I care right now, considering Jakob's probably paying for the food and I couldn't care less about him, but it's annoying when I have to buy things myself.

The same waitress brings us our drinks and takes our orders. My aunt asks her something in Norwegian, but I don't pay any attention. It's not like I'm going to understand what she's saying anyways.

I turn my head and look out of the window. I get lost in my thoughts from the second I turn my head to the second the waitress puts a plate in front of me. That snaps me out of my thoughts and look down at the food. My appetite is nowhere to be found, but to avoid any questions I slowly start eating. I take very small bites and make sure to chew slowly.

"Is there anything wrong Calum?" my aunt asks and I just shake my head in response.

"So, Carol told me you're going to school when the break is over, how do you feel about that?" Jakob asks. Ah, school, or as it's also commonly called, H.ell on Earth.

"I don't really care," I say flatly and push my food around on the plate with my fork.

"So you're not nervous? I can imagine that it's pretty scary moving to a new country and going to a new school and all," he says as I put my fork down and stand up. I can't take this s.hit anymore. 

"I'm going to go out and get some air," I say and leave before any of them gets a chance to respond. I walk out of the restaurant and take a smoke out of my pocket on the way. As I'm about to light it my aunt comes out after me, and she looks pretty pissed to say it mildly. 

"What is your problem Calum?! Why can't you just be nice to someone for once?! Is it really that hard?!" she asks in frustration. I'm taken back by the harshness in her voice and words, but I don't let it show.

"I just don't like him, okay?!" I say, trying not to sound too annoyed, but I fail miserably. 

"You don't like anyone Calum, but can't you at least pretend?" she asks harshly. With that, I turn around and start walking away with a clenched jaw.

"Calum, where are you going?" she asks, her tone a bit softer, but I just ignore her and continue walking. I have no idea where I'm going to go, but anywhere is better that here right now.
