"Please don't do this Nora." I cried. The tears flowing freely on my cheeks. I wiped them with a tissue. "Nora don't just tell him Nora. Tell him the truth. Tell him!" I yelled the last part.
Someone knocked on the door from the other side. "Come in." I said.
The door opened and Anna, our maid said. "What happened darling? Why are you crying?" Anna has always been the kindest to me. She always baked cookies for me but sometimes she won't listen to me but my mother. Well I know I can't say that but my mom makes me drink a glass of milk everyday and I'm not a big fan of milk. I know I'm sixteen for crying out loud but does she listen to me? No.
"Nothing." I shook my head. She looked down at my hands and sighed. "Your crying over a book again?" She asked. I didn't answer that. "Your mother is calling you. She's in the living room." She said and left.
I got up and went to the bathroom and washed my face. Knowing my mother she would lecture me about how a lady shouldn't cry over books. I left my room after wiping my face. I entered the living room, my mom was talking with some guy. But the guy's leather jacket was peeking from where I was standing. No please don't let it be him.
"Oh Ferrero look who's here?" My mom said when she noticed me. Calum turned too. "What happened to your face?" She frowned. "Were you–"
"I wasn't crying over a book." I blurted.
She narrowed her eyes at me. "Did you forget about our date?" Calum chimed in.
"Date?" Both my mom and I yelled.
"I mean yes I remember our date." I said nodding my head hoping mom would buy it.
"You're not going like that are you?" My mom asked.
I looked down nothing was wrong with what I was wearing. "But mom–"
"You're not going in that." She said, her tone saying that I'm not aloud to fight back. She got up and handed a book to Calum. "You may continue." I noticed that it is a photo album. My photo album.
I ran towards it and grabbed it. "No mom I don't think he wants to see them."
"Nah I'm having fun here." I glared at him. I left the room and walked to my room. The first thing I did was hid my album.
I then dressed in something my mom would call appropriate for a date, though I've never been on a date before, I knew exactly what my mom would prefer me wearing for a date. I applied a little bit of make. I left my room after taking a shoulder bag which had a wallet and my cell and other essential things for a girl.
I walked back to the living room and they were indeed chatting again. I took baby steps towards them not wanting to go on the fake date with Calum.
My mom was once again the one to notice me. Calum noticed me and grinned at me. An evil grin. I knew something was up. I took some giant steps this time and lo they are once again watching my album, it was the other album. And they were on the page of me eating cupcakes one in each hand the frosting was smeared on my mouth, nose, and cheeks.
I picked it lightly from mom's hand and said. "Mom we'll be late." I said trying to sound excited.
"Oh wait here." My mom said and scurried out of the room. Calum looked confused and so did I, but I didn't ask him 'what my mother is doing?' But that would be stupid since a) He looked confused. b) This is my mother we're talking about not his, so I should know what she was up to. She returned in a few minutes, and she was holding a camera, oh no she isn't going to do what I'm thinking she is going to do is she?
"Say cheese!" She yelled.
"But mom–" but it was too late since she clicked a picture. She then looked at it and frowned.
"Ferrero, I know nowadays girls like to make silly faces, but this is like the weirdest post I've ever seen." She said still frowning. "Now give a nice pose."
"Mom, why are you taking pictures?"
"What nonsense, my daughter is going on her first date." My mom squealed like a teenage girl. "Now a post."
I just smiled at the camera not wanting to do anything more.
My mom let us leave after taking ten or so pictures. She even walked us to the door. I knew what mom was trying to do, she always tried to set me up for dates but I've never been to them. She loves reading wattpad, ok that's a normal thing she's an independent woman she can do anything she wants but she thinks that good girls are made for bad boys. Yes, I'm not kidding she always wants me to date a bad boy. I didn't notice any bike which was weird are we going to walk to wherever Calum was taking me. I then noticed that there was a car parked in my front yard and it was a sports car, I didn't know the name of. He opened the car door for me, I waved at my mom who was still standing near the door and got inside the car he jogged to the other side and opened the door for himself and got in. He started driving and in no time my house passed. The car was silent, deadly silent. Except for his foot tapping on the floor of the car, and boy isn't it annoying.
"Can you please stop that?" I said as politely as possible.
"Stop what?" He asked smirking, I was sure about one thing he knew what I'm talking about.
"That." I said pointing at his foot.
"What are you talking about?" He asked mocking me.
I glared at him. I've been glaring a lot today. We reached our destination in few minutes. He got out of his car, and raised an eyebrow at me. "Are you gonna sit there all day?" He asks cockily. Of course he opened the door just in front of mum why would he do it if no ones watching us? I didn't say anything cause I'm sure we'll fight. That's not what Ferrero Rocher do. Ferrero Rocher doesn't fight she goes through her life with kindness. Did I just addressed myself in the third person. Okay I really am going crazy, and this is Calum's fault.
"Well?" Calum's voice broke my thoughts. I opened the car door and got out. I didn't shut the door roughly since that'll end up in us fighting.
I looked up at the place and I was standing in the parking lot of-of ice skating? I suck at ice skating, wait I suck at skating itself.
"Why are we here?" I asked I'm sure my voice was shaking.
He looked at me like I just stuffed lemon in his mouth. Them he burst out laughing. "Little-miss-perfect-who-never-swore doesn't know how to skate?" He cooed.
I hit him with my bag and moved forward towards the ice skating place. The glass doors slid open and I walked in it is cold inside here. But not something I couldn't bare. We walked towards the skates stand and I informed my size. I slipped on the socks I bought and tied the lace of the skates. I looked up at the ice rink, Calum was already on the rink, skating. Memories of my past falls in the ice rink rushed to my head. I shook my head and stepped on the rink. I was about to slip but the iron railing which surrounds the rink and I mentally did a victory dance. I stepped two steps forward, yes stepped cause if I skate then my legs will stretch a lot and I'll end up on the ground.
I took another step and, bam! I was sprawled on the ground. Boy doesn't my butt hurts. A hand was extended to my aid. I looked up at the smirking face of Calum. I took his hand and he hauled me up.
"Thanks." I said. He nodded still smirking and skated back. I never thought that Calum was interested in skating. I skated/walked on the ice rink for ten minutes not leaving the railing.
"I see you have fun." An annoying voice snorts behind me.
"Very." I say back sarcastically.
"Come." Calum grabs my hand and pulls me well tries to pull me since I'm still holding onto the iron railing and I have a death grip. But I guess he's stronger and he pulls me harder my hand slipped from the railing just as he left my hand and my skates moved on their own. I screamed and bumped in to someone's chest and in a second we were lying down, I mean he was lying down while I was lying on his chest. I stared at the familiar green eyes of Caleb McDonall.
"Ferrero? What are you doing here?" He asked shocked since he knows I never come here.
"I–" I cut myself off. What am I supposed to say? 'I'm here with your twin, and no we're not really dating but just fake dating.' I can't say that nor can I lie to him cause he always catches me.
"She's here with me." A voice said behind me.
"Yeah and I'm mafia." Caleb replied.
"Are you?" I asked. What? You can't blame me. Okay I've known him for a long time, longer than I myself remember but I've read many books about golden boy turning out to be a mafia or a vampire.
His eyebrows furrowed. "No." he said like a little child.
"Caleb!" Marcie entered the rink. She hugged Caleb tightly and kissed him on the lips, which mentally made me gag. What? No one likes to see their crush kiss someone.
"Ferrero and," she paused for a moment before raising her perfectly shaped eyebrows. "Calum?"
"Yeah, we're just hanging out." I said.
"Yep, we both were free today and thought of hanging out." Calum added.
They still looked like they didn't believe us. If I was in their place I would've been shocked too cause I've never hanged out with anyone out of my friend circle which consists of Suzan, Tiana, Caleb and Ben. Calum was another level, he is the bad boy, bad boys troubles everyone and I don't hang out with troublemakers.
"Now if you excuse us?" He didn't wait for their answer, just intertwined our hands and pulled me with me slowly so that I won't fall on the ice again. I turned to look at Caleb and Marcie to see them staring at our intertwined hands.
We skated for a few minutes before it got creepy cause everywhere I looked I see one of the two staring at us.
"Can we leave now?" I asked Calum as quietly as I could.
"Nope." Was his reply.
I stared at him with narrowed eyes and thought of a plan. I stared pulling him towards the entrance of the rink. But he was fast enough to register what I'm doing and started moving the other way. I tried pulling him again but he didn't budge.
"Why don't you want to leave?" I ask frowning at him.
"Why do you want to leave?"
"I asked the question first, so you should be the one who answers first."
"But as it's said ladies first." He smirks.
I left his hand and slowly started moving to the railing hoping that I wouldn't fall. But I slip ones and when I try to get up I slip again. Calum chuckles behind me. I glare at the ice on which I'm sitting. I take the extended hand of Calum and get up. I try again to skate/walk towards the railing but fall again. I sigh mom always told me to never give up, I guess I'm going to give up on skating towards the railing. I start crawling towards the entrance.
"Mommy is she trying to be a horse?" I look up to see a little girl pointing at me. "I want to be one too." I hear the same voice whine. I blush, now I have to get to the entrance as fast as I can.
I sigh as I reach the entrance without gaining much attention. I look up to see Calum who was standing in front of me. "I guess we'll leave." He said and took my hand and picked me up.
