Love is an Act of War

I get to Calum's gangs house with Luke, and everybody immediately stares at me, but don't move, because they know I could take them all out in a single second.

"What is she doing her." A girl asks flatly.

"She saved my life." Luke replies coldly, and the girl rolls her eyes.

"So... Is she staying?" A shorter girl asks. Luke nods and smile.

"Aren't you Michael Clifford's little sister?" A blonde girl, asks. Oh, that's Alissa.

"Uh. Yeah." I answer, not very proud to say so. She walks over to me, and I hold on to the knife in my back pocket. She hugs me and then pulls back.

"Finally, a way for revenge on him." She laughs and shakes my head, "Nice to meet you, Adria, Calum won't shut up about you." She smiles. I smile back, but don't take my hand of the knife.

"Nice to meet you too."

"Uh, yeah, so that's Alissa, that's Casey," Luke points to the short girl, and then the mean one, "That's Raven, and in the back there," He points to two boys in the back of the room, "That's Cody and J.J." He says. I nod.

"Cool." I say.

"Hey guys." Calum says, coming through the door, and putting a cigarette out on the counter. He sees me. "Did you join?" He asks me, ignoring everyone else nodding.

"Uh huh." I smile. He immediately dashes over to me, wraps him arms around me so there is no space in between us and kisses me. In front of everyone. The smoke he held in his lungs, I breathe in, along with the smell of smoke. Casey clears her throat awkwardly.

"Oh. Um. This is awkward." Calum blushes. "We're a couple?" He says to them. Alissa shrugs, but everyone else's eyes widen.

"Yes! Aww! That's so cute! You guys had a little forbidden love!" Casey screams, running over to me, while Raven just glares at me. "Come on, let's go to your new room, oh my god I love your shirt!" Casey exclaims. I smile as she drags me off.

The smell of the smoke from Calum's lungs is still lingering in my mind. I'm bored. I can't sleep, because I was trained to not trust people. Bleh.

This is weird.

Why is everyone so nice? That's not normal.

But damn is this an exciting rush of freedom.
