Yesterday was amazing. Calum is awesome and we texted all night. It's Saturday and Calum and I have plans to hang out all day. It's is 9:30 and he is meeting me at my house at 11. I hopped in the shower and got dressed. I put on my light-wash jeans, my grey Rolling Stones tank top, and my black and white vans. I walked into the kitchen and fixed myself a bowl of cereal and a slice of toast. Scrolling through Instagram I saw a picture of my best friend Chloee. She was wearing an old Halloween costume and the caption said "I still like to dress up." I liked the picture and began scrolling again. Of course my feed was full of 5sos stuff and there new album release. My phone vibrated and it was Calum.
Calum: Hey! Are you ready?
Me: Yes!! Can't wait! But I have an
idea...
Calum:What?
Me:I'll tell you when you get here.
Calum: Ok. I'll be there in 5.
I put up my bowl and went to the bathroom to put on my makeup. When I was done I grabbed my phone and my purse. Turning on the TV I watched whatever was on until Calum rang my doorbell. When I opened the door he stepped in and hugged me. He picked me up and spun me around. I let out a little squeal and squeezed him back. He put me down and held me at arms length then pulled me close and kissed me. "So, What was your idea?" Pulling away and grabbing my hand he led me out to the car. "Well I have this friend, her name is Chloee and she is really cool. I know we had plans to meet with the other guys later to eat so I was thinking we could just pick her up and she could eat with us." We got in the car and he bit his lip as if he was thinking. "Yeah I think we can make that work." He grabbed my hand and off we went. We were going to watch a new movie called The Visit. It's supposed to be really creepy and the reviews are really good. Once we got to the movie theatre we bought our popcorn and tickets. Around 12 we went in the theatre and got good seats right in the middle. Sitting through the long, boring pre-views and advertisements we talked about what we were going to do after. We made plans to go eat then go to the mall and just walk around and shop a little until 5:30 when we were going to meet the other guys and Chloee at an Indian restaurant downtown. Finally the movie started and the lights dimmed. I scooted down in my seat and snuggled close to Calum. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close. He smelled so good and inviting. The movie was really cool and I got really scared during some parts and jumped. Calum laughed and squeezed me every time. Once the movie was over we walked out of the theatre and drove to a pizza place down the road. We ordered a large Hawaiian pizza, sat down and ate all of it. After we ate we went to the mall. We got a smoothie and walked around a lot of different stores. I got a new pair of jeans and a new shirt from H&M. We walked around a few more stores and by then it was 3:45. We drove to a nearby park and Calum pulled out a soccer ball from the backseat. Tossing it in the air a few times he said, "You in?" I laughed and caught the ball mid-throw, "You're on!" We got out of the car and ran to a clear spot in the park. We played around with the soccer ball and ran up and down the makeshift field. Laughing, I stole the ball from Calum and shot it into the "goal" we made out of an overturned trash can. Breathing heavily he said, "Ok, You win. I'm tired. Let's go sit down." "Ok loser." Jogging over to Calum he playfully shoved me and and ran off towards the swings. We just sat there and talked until the sky began to darken. It was 5 when we drove to Chloee's house.
On the way there I texted her. Her response was something like this:"OMG!!!!! ANNA THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!! I LOVE you! Be ready in 15!!!" I let out a little laugh and said, "Ok that will be great. We r on the way!! Love you too."
  In the car Calum and I jammed along to several bands. We were dancing and singing along to every song. Calum's got moves. Ten minuets later we got to Chloee's house, she was waiting on the steps looking down at her phone. Pulling up I beeped the horn several times. She ran over to the car and hopped in the back. "Hi guys." She was bouncing up and down with each word. "Hey Chloee!" As Calum pulled out of the driveway he looked at Chloee in the mirror and said, "Hey! Um I'm Calum." She laughed at his lame excuse of a joke and squeezed my shoulder. Turning around I noticed her face was really red and she was sweating. Her eyes got really big and she let out a little squeal. I laughed and mouthed silently,"It's ok. Don't be nervous, just be yourself." She nodded and glanced out the window. I looked over at Calum who was nodding his head in time with the song and tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. He caught me staring at him and smiled. I smiled back and grabbed his hand. Finally, after 30 minuets we got to the restaurant. Standing beside the door Luke, Ashton, and Michael waved and walked towards us meeting is halfway from the car. Chloee was hiding behind me and let out a little cough when I forgot to introduce her. "Oh guys, this is Chloee. My bestie." They all looked at her for a while. "Anna are you telling me this isn't your twin?" Ashton stepped closer to have a closer look. Looking at Chloee I finally noticed what she was wearing. She stood there wearing light-wash jean shorts, a grey Rolling Stones tee shirt, and black and white vans. I stepped towards her and said, "No, we just both have really good fashion sense." Ashton laughed and casually pushed my backwards. "Ok." He said rolling his eyes, throwing as much sarcasm into the word as possible. Chloee finally spoke up, "Everyone says we look alike but I honestly don't see it." When she spoke she put her arm around me shaking her head. Chloee and I actually do look alike if you think about it. We both have brown hair with once bright red tips now faded into a dark red color, we both have brown eyes, and are about the same size. The only thing that makes us different is that my lip is pierced and she has a stud in her nose. Luke laughed and said "Ok guys. I'm hungry, let's go eat. We can talk about this later." We all agreed and went inside. After sitting down and ordering our food we picked up the conversation from outside. I noticed Michael hadn't said much but didn't point it out. "So Chloee, who's your favorite?" Luke laughed and looked at the other guys as if he knew who the answer was. "Um I'm more of a Mikey girl." At this Michael looked up from his plate and smiled that perfect smile that lights up the whole room. The other guys looked at each other and started laughing and yelling. Punching Michael on the arm they said, "Uh oh Mike!" "Get some!" He punched them back and told them to shut up. From then on Michael kept stealing glances at Chloee from across the table. Once they made eye contact and both of their faces became bright red and they looked away quickly. The conversation jumped around from things like the tour to the color of fruit. Why we talked about the color of fruits, I have no idea. Ashton started it.  After we were all finished and the food was payed for we got up and left. Outside we decided to go get some ice cream. Walking to the ice cream place Calum stopped and crouched down. Looking over his shoulder he look at me and said, "Hop on!" I walked over and jumped on his back. Following his lead, Luke jumped on Ashton's back causing Ash to let out a little cry of pain. Luke hit him and said, "I'm not that heavy!" Chloee looked at Michael and he shrugged his shoulders. She jumped on his back and he hoisted her up. Calum looked at the other guys and said, "Ok. On three." It finally occurred to me what was happening and I let out a laugh. "One. Two. Three." On three the guys took off struggling to run full speed with the extra weight. Running along the sidewalk Calum almost ran into three trashcans and a group of people sitting on a bench. About a foot in front of us Ashton tripped and sent Luke flying over his shoulders. Laughing they both stood up and began chasing Calum and Michael. Finally catching us we hopped off and walked the rest of the way to the ice cream place. We ordered and walked back to the car eating our ice cream. Although it's September it's still really humid so our ice cream melted quickly leaving a sticky mess everywhere.
