Crumble || Calum Hood

Prologue.

My name is Elizabeth, Bess for short. I live a small town in the middle of a city called Sydney, a place well known in Australia. It's quite a homey place, full of nice people and friendly community. It's a place that many people know of, but if you live there, its not so bad, because it doesn't seem too busy or overcrowded after a while. I like my hometown, it was peaceful and had just the right level of noise that you could still hear yourself think.

The only downside to that was that everybody knew you, knew your family, your friends. It was an overwhelming and somewhat unbearable occurrence in our town; the gossip and the rumours are what the town run on. Within our little area of the city, we were the celebrities and this was our fame.

I'd been quite lucky during the 19 years of living there. I'd had no trouble‭ and kept to myself so nobody would bother me or think me worthy of a good bitch. That was true, until the boy next door moved in. That was true, until I fell face forward in the midst of Calum Hood.
