#2 First Crush

Apparently, the only other class I'm with either of the boys is Literature and that is with only Calum.

"Have you read the book?" Calum asked as we were walking down the hallway.

The rest of the guys had already left us for their individual classes and now, it's just the two of us.

"Yep, and I assumed you haven't?" I raised an eyebrow and all he did was chuckle.

We walked silently down the hallway, passing by the lockers and unfortunately, there were some girls standing at the side and they were all giggling as we passed by. By 'we', I meant only Calum.

"Hi Cal." One of the girl waved to Calum and the rest of the group giggled along with her.

This was basically what I had to go through every single day (well, not really me but you get the picture)with these girls giggling at either Michael, Luke or Calum. All of them hated me; for hanging out with them. Ever since I started being friends with them, girls have called me all sorts like how I was being a flirt, an attention-seeker or even a 'slut'. The only reason we hung out in the first place was because of how good I was at Fifa and they challenged me to beat Calum, and I did. That is why, my friends, I am friends with those three.

"Hey." Calum said emotionlessly, not making eye contact with any of them.

"You don't like the attention, eh?" I asked, sarcastically batting my eyelashes like how girls would do at him every time.

"Nah." He laughed at me and he pushed the door to our class.

Calum wasn't like Michael; who would always hang out with some of the girls. He has got his eyes fixed on only one of the girls in the school, Hill. Although I thought she's a bitch, I couldn't say anything. Calum is my close friend and I wouldn't hurt him ever.

As we entered the class, Mdm Darcy, our literature teacher, gave us a look while we silently took our seats. Calum at the front and me at the back, alone.

"Late again eh, Mr Hood, Ms Jo?" She called out on us, her glasses almost falling off her nose.

Both me and Calum ignored her obvious question like what do you expect us to answer?

"Fine, class there will be a new student coming into the school and lovely news is that he picked Literature as a side subject. So please be prepared."

I cleared my throat and ignored the glances being given by the rest of the class.

"Very well then. Anyone who has not completed reading pages 16 to 30?" She scanned the class, searching for any raised hands.

Calum, who sat a few tables further than me, did not raise his hand. I chuckled to myself and opened the pages of the book already on my desk.

••••••••

We were all gathered at a table in the corner of the lunch room, with a tray in front of each of us.

Michael opened his bag of chips and started chewing all of its contents noisily, leaving me, Luke and Calum still staring into space.

I was looking down at my plate full of shitty canteen food when Michael finally spoke up.

"I just realized something." He said, still chewing onto chips from the almost-empty bag.

"What?" I asked, barely moving my eyes from the plate.

"Calum is staring at Hill, over there. El is busy staring at her food and Luke is staring at El." The pale-skin boy nodded at himself as if he stated a relevant point.

I looked up at Luke and he turned away, pushing Michael by his side. He's such a boy.

"She is so pretty." Calum, who had his chin resting on his palm, sighed.

He was always looking at Hill, every single day during lunch. I really don't know what he found special about her. She was so rude and the typical bitch in school.

"Yeah, yeah. Now, eat up your food," Michael rolled his eyes at Calum,"All three of you."

Well, you could say Calum was head over 'Hill's for her.

Yo peanuts !!

Okay so, basically Calum has a crush on this girl, Hill; short for Hillary. Aaaaannnnd do you like my pun at the end?? c: I hope you do. And I also hope you already got the hints and clues that's written all over this chapter. I'm sorry if this was too short, just like the previous chapter. I didn't want to drag the story so I kept it short (and hopefully sweet). Next update: tomorrow yaaaayy !!
