Chapter 3
(Calum's POV)
All of a sudden, all of our phones rang at the same time. We all checked to see who it was. It was three different people that were staff of our manager. As we picked up, we were deafened.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!" They all screamed into the phone at the same time.
"Relax, we're coming, we're coming." Michael says calmly.
Once they heard that at least one of us answered, the rest hung up the phones.
"RELAX?" Maria yelled, part of the staff who was talking, or, screaming, at Michael. "YOUR MANAGER IS PISSED! THERE'S A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON HERE TODAY, DID YOU GUYS FORGET?! THIS SHOWS A LOT ON YOUR AND YOUR MANAGER'S APPEREANCE."
"Um, we may have forgotten...what meeting exactly is there going on right now?" I ask meakly.
"THE PEOPLE. THAT. ARE. SIGNING. YOU. YOU IDIOTS!!!!!" She yells into the phone. "I'll explain later. Just come. Quickly!!!"
We start the car and drive as fast as we can to the studio. We almost crash, and have gone over the speed limit many, MANY times in this car drive. We arrive in about ten minutes, and race to the door. We burst in widly.
"Finally!" Maria and our manager, Jim, exclaim at the same time.
"Nice to finally meet you." A middle aged man says. "He must be the person who is going to sign us..." I think to myself. He has dark brown hair and wrinkles in between his forhead. "I can't wait to sign with you!" He says.
"Yeah," Jim says, "finally!"
All of the boys point to me and say "it's his fault!"
Jim takes me aside and hisses "WTF CALUM! This totally jeopardized the entire meeting! What happened?"
"I'm sorry!" I say, and explain exactly what happened.
"What... just...ugh oh Calum..."
Right when he says that, I suddenly get a text from Rachel, the girl who I met outside of the concert venue.
Rachel : IM TRYING TO STOP!! 😭🙈 =D
Me : stop what? huh?
Rachel : CUTTING!! 😁
Me : omfg. so proud of ya rach :)
Rachel : tysm💕
Me: listen I'm sry but um can't rly talk rn txt u later.
Rachel : ok bye
Me : bye
The manager badgered me about how I was late for most of the meeting, but u blocked it all out. All I could think about was Rachel.
