calum walked back to his dorm and sat on his bed pulling out his old diary from when he was in middle school. almost in every page luke was mentioned. about how amazing the blonde was, and how he never wanted to leave his side.

he dozed off and about two hours later was woken up to screaming. he opened his eyes to see suan and his friends playing video games. "get him, get him!!" suan yelled cheering one of the guys on. there was three of them; not including suan.

"um. can you guys quiet down? i get really bad headaches from my medication."

"oh shut up." one of his snobby friends barked over his shoulder. his hair was a hazelnut color and was curly.

"calum, you can go down to the library and sleep on one of the couches, this game is pretty intense!" suan screamed once one of the characters died causing one of his friends to scream loudly as well.

cal huffed and walked out the room slamming the door and taking the elevator down to the library. he searched for the library but for some reason he couldn't find it. there were no signs and everyone looked nasty, and they all seemed like they did not want any conversation with a new kid.

cal bit his lip and sat at a vacant bench and pulled out his phone.

the name was bright and cheery, and he could press it and his mood might change for the better. he's probably busy with lulu...or with lizard...his mom told him to call liz that. he huffed and pressed the contact holding it up to his ear. after several rings, luke obviously didn't pick up.

he got up and began to walk around the campus more for thirty minutes and felt a vibration through his pants. he pulled it out quickly and his heart stopped seeing lukey cakes light up on his phone. "hello?" calum quickly answered and he heard a sigh from his phone.

"who's this?" an unknown voice spoke.

"c-calum...is this luke?"

"no, you've got the wrong number, boy. is this a prank call? i can call the police on you, ya' hear?" the man dissed hanging up.

calum felt he was all alone, he knew no one, and his mother was not here to tell him it was going to be all okay. and it was not going to be okay...ever. he leaned against a building and sulked down.

-

luke swatted his mom's hands away from his hair as he groaned loudly. "i just don't get why you broke it off with lulu, she is a nice, caring, pretty woman."

"yeah well, i cheated on her with calum, i kissed calum when we were dating."

"why are you still on this calum thing?? you'll never see him again or talk to him again because this university isn't even close to our hometown." liz glared at the car in front of her. "you had two wonderful girls-"

"mom! stop it! i'm eighteen and i can make my own decisions!" luke rolled his eyes putting in his earbuds only for them to be ripped out.

"we're here!" she cheered zooming into the parking lot smiling at the big ivy league college. "you'll be with the intelligent students because you went to private school. most of these kids went to a public school and think they can make it in this uni."

luke huffed seeing most of the students looked rich and stuck up. he got out and took his luggage in leaving his mother behind. once he arrived at his dorm he noticed that in the far section it was neatly sorted out. he looked down at his phone and saw calum's contact name. he bit his lip and put away knowing if he called, the boy would reject.

he began to unpack and someone came through the door. "hm."

luke turned around and saw a short male with wide eyes. "uh, hello." he tried to start a conversation but the male just stared at him with wide eyes.

"yess!!!" he cheered jumping up and down giggling. "i'm pete, and i'm your gay roommate! yes, i am openly gay, and if you don't like it, suck it bish!"

luke chuckled and shook his head, "i'm fine with it if you are."

"oh my..." pete smiled widely walking over to him and poking his biceps. "my ovaries!!!"

luke laughed again and took more of his stuff out putting it on the bed. "i'm luke."

pete walked away from him and jumped on his bed. he had medium length hair and it was light brown and his eyes were a dark green. "we're going to be best buds!"

"that's good, i know absolutely no one here." luke flashed him a smile placing his red snapback on and put on his leather jacket and grabbed his phone. "i'm going to-"

"i'll show you around!!"

"thanks but i--"

"no! it's my pleasure!" pete dragged him out and began showing him all the different buildings and the library. "dude, they even have a café. if that ain't love then i don't know what love is." luke nodded and walked with the small male. he looked towards a building and saw someone familiar. "and that is-"

"can you excuse me for a second?" luke quickly ran to the male on the building and squinted his eyes. "c-calum?"

the male looked up and furrowed his eyebrows. "do i know you?"

luke frowned and looked down. "i-no, i thought you were someone i know..." he sighed and walked back to pete.

"you're cheating on me already? shame on you. i thought what we had was real."

luke huffed. "i don't know, i thought that was my best friend calum."

"aww! well, let's keep going."

-

calum got up off the ground and headed to his dorm hoping that by now suan had finished his game with his pals. sighing he called his mother telling her about how he was having a horrible time. and how he wants her to save him. "it's absolutely horrible here. luke isn't here, and that's horrible because one of his hugs would make my day 106 times better." calum whined over the phone.

"i'm sorry honey, but dwelling on him won't make it better. you just have to realize that maybe this time...he is gone...you have to move on sweetie. it's the only way to get by in life. i have to go, i'm having a girls night out with my co-workers." she heard calum sigh and she frowned. "maybe i'll give liz a call and see, but we've tried calling her for the past years, and she's never answered."

"alright, love you momma."

"love you too honey. mwah!"

he hung up and sat down on a bench and seconds later someone else sat on the bench but cal kept his head down.

"rough day huh?" the voice was deep.

"yeah...i miss my best friend, but my mom told me to get over the fact that i won't see him again, which i know is true but...i miss him."

the guy chuckled sadly, "i know the feeling mate...my best friend is amazing, but i'll never see him again. and it's weird, your voice kind of sounds like his except it's a bit deeper."

calum looked up at the male beside him and tilted his head. "reall-" his heart stopped as he stared at the male next to him who also had wide eyes.

-

"i didn't know you were planning on coming here!!" luke shouted as the two walk around the campus.

"i didn't know you were!!" calum cheered loudly everyone looking at them like they were crazy.

luke stopped in front of calum and smiled widely. "you still look...like calum."

"you still look like...lukey." calum smiles at him with a blush. "i missed you. but you probably didn't miss me because you never returned my calls, and when i did call you today, it was another person...were you avoiding me?"

luke looked at the ground. "i just felt we were getting too close, and i felt that i owed it to lulu because i cheated on her...but we broke up. and i'm sorry i never called you." he looked into calum's round eyes. "and i did miss you, more than i missed anyone in my life. my mom always complained about it, but i could never see myself forgetting about you."

"you're so cheesy." calum laughed loudly hugging luke tightly. "my luke is back with me."

"you're one to talk about someone being cheesy, look at you."

"i have and i'm adorable." he said in luke's pale neck.

"you are." hugged him back sighing in content. "that you are, calum."
