I walked into Michaels room not knowing what to expect. There were CD racks against the walls, a record player and CD player beside the racks, his bed sheets were grey like the rest of his room. I sat down on his bed waiting for mike to speak up or tell me why I'm here but instead he walked over to the CD racks and shuffled through them, after a minute he grabbed one and put it into the player.
"Ok now this could go two ways, 1. You could hate it and I would have to ask you to leave or 2. You love it and we would have a lot more to talk about when you stalk me. I really hope it's 2 but your kinda weird so I don't know what to expect." Michael said sitting down next to me. I chuckled before focusing on the song that was playing. I liked it, a lot actually. I started to stomp my foot quietly to the beat and Michael noticed pretty quickly.
"You like it?" He asked hopefully, I shook my head "yes" and got a smile in return. "Good, that was 'all these things that I've done' if you wanted to know. Uh I'll play 'deadlines of commitment' now." He got up and put the CD in then sat back down beside me. The song started to play and again I really liked it.
"This ones really good" I said once we got to the chorus.
"Yeah I know, it's my favourite song actually." He chuckled. I smiled back.
Time skip
I got home around 7 after listening to music for 5 hours with Michael. We exchanged numbers and everything, I'm going out with him and his friends tomorrow too. This was way easier then I made it out to be, sure he was the quietest person on earth and I didn't even know he had friends until yesterday but he was a pretty cool guy.
I got a text from Ash, "almost 5 days left.." I chuckled knowing that he was already inviting me out to places so I didn't need the extra 5 days. "Don't need the 5 days" I texted back.
"What?"
"Yeah, we're pretty much already friends so this is gonna be easy!"
"Then I'm changing the bet, you get until Thursday 6:00 pm instead of Sunday. I bet you can't do it, you'll start to freak out and end up messing it up"
"You wish Irwin, have fun in that cheer uniform" and with that I ended the conversation. I walked into Lily's room ready to ask her for her uniform but she was practically eating a guys face so I shut the door and left. she's been doing that a lot recently.
i walked back to my room, put on my headphones and searched up the songs i could remember from today. i made a playlist and had it on shuffle for at least an hour. pictures of michael came flooding into my brain and even when i started thinking about my 3 week overdue homework, i was thinking if michael did it. his chuckle was raspy yet sweet and he laughed a lot when i said something stupid, which in my case was every 2 minutes.
lily burst into my room, "what's the huge grin for?" i took of my head phones and looked up to her.
"what do you want?" i asked, i was quite annoyed honestly. it won't be the first or last time though.
"don't tell mom or dad that calum was over ok? i don't need them on my case"
"ok.. don't tell mom or dad that im gone tomorrow after school" i crossed my arms, she didn't mind tricking me into lying for her but she never helped me out.
she leaned against the door frame, "and why are you gone tomorrow? you got somewhere important to be?"
"yeah, somewhere important. can i borrow your cheer uniform?"
"whatever" she left the door open, probably just to spite me at this point. after another few minutes of listening to music my parents came home and i'm pretty sure lily ratted herself out because all i heard for the rest of the night was bickering between the 3 of them. i fell asleep around 2, i wasnt that tired to be honest.
