5 Seconds Of Summer: A Short Story
Calum sat on the top of the freezer staring at the busy park. Business was slow as usual even though the park was busy. He had sold some ice cream but only had made about $5.99 in the past four hours. He received $250 every month for running the truck and half the money he collects is his but he still hates his job. He hates how he fails to make a fair payment when splitting the rent cost. He hates the looks he gets driving around a bright pastel pink and blue truck with a gigantic ice cream cone attached to the roof. He hates the stupid blue apron he has to wear with the ugly smiling ice cream cone. Calum especially hates the hat that fucks up his hair each day. The hat is too small for his head. It use to have a wobbly ice cream cone on top

Calum rolled his eyes.
“Fine knock yourself out.” Calum grumbled gripping the wheel. The two boys drove in silence as Amnesia played peacefully in the background. Louis looked at the cd case confused.
“What is the name of this song?” Louis asked.
“Everything We Didn’t Say.”
“Never heard it.”
“Many haven’t.”
“It’s a good song.”
“Well aware.”
“Who is in this band?” Louis asked. Calum tensed up.
“You sure ask a shit load of questions.” Calum mumbled. Louis blushed. He was quiet for the rest of the ride till they pulled into the parking lot.
“It’s my me and my friends band. It was one of our first songs.” Calum finally answered before ejecting the cd. Louis handed him back the ice cream hat.
“I like the music. It’s original.” Louis said. Calum shrugged popping the cd back in the case.
“Here you can keep it. We have lots of copies.” Calum handed the cd to Louis. Louis grinned taking the cd. He shoved the case in his pocket and thanked Calum before making his way inside. He took one last look at Calum and his pastel ice cream truck. A cold chill ran over him as the kiwi boy drove away. He hoped they would bump into each other again one
