Blind [c.h.]

01 - stupid highschool crushes

Rachel

As I walked into Riverbank High I looked around and sighed. You could easily distinguish that there are three groups of people. You're either considered a popular, a freak, or a nobody. The so called "freaks" were avoiding the populars at all costs, whilst the populars were either pulling their skirts up and and their shirts down lower, or playing sports in the building. The "nobody's" were mixed in between the mess. It's pretty obvious that I'm a nobody. I actually wear clothing, I also don't jump into the pants of every guy I see, I try to avoid gossip at all costs, and I have social skills..somewhat. If you were to ever displease the queens or kings of this place, your life would be utterly ruined.

The bell rang shortly after my observations, and I kept my head down as I walked to my first class, Biology.

After trudging up three flights of stairs and down a hallway, I finally reached the classroom. I awkwardly held onto my backpack straps and took a sit at a table near the front.

I didn't get much time to relax, because seconds after I sat down and got comfortable, the bell rang. Mr. Roden, or as some people like to call him, Mr. Rodent, stood up from behind his desk and walked towards the front of the room.

"I believe you will all find what we are doing in class to be interesting. You will be dissecting frogs so we get a better understanding about how their bodies work. As I have told you before, their organ layout is similar to the humans. Your partners have been randomly assigned to you. "

I groaned.

While Mr. Roden was going over instructions and naming out everyone's partners I zoned out completely and thought about how I could convince my partner to do all the dirty work.

".....and Rachel is paired with Calum. Get with your partners and get straight to work!"

What.

You have got to be kidding me. Calum. Calum Hood. The number one jerk and player of the school. I'm surprised he can even go a full period without getting blown right here in the classroom.

Maybe I could go to the nurse? But It'd be too obvious I was avoiding him if I I did.

Sighing, I looked around the room trying to find Calum. He was sitting in the back, looking confused as ever.

I gathered my things and slowly walked towards his table.

"Uh...Hi." I said quietly. Pulling out the empty stool and sitting.

"Hey. You must be Rachel?" Calum questioned.

"Yeah."

"Cool." He half smiled, eyeing me up and down. "I really don't want to do this assignment. Wanna skip?" He looked at me questionably.

As much as I would love to skip right now, I'm pretty positive Calum would take me to a janitor's closet and try and get in my pants.

"No thanks. " I mumbled.

"Come onnnnnnnnn." Calum pouted.

"No. I don't want to get in trouble."

"Mr.Rodent is oblivious." he laughed. "We're skipping."

"No. We're not." I said sternly.

Calum let out a frustrated sigh. "Fine. I'm not doing this assignment though. You can do it by yourself."

"Are you serious?" I raised my voice slightly. "I am not dissecting that!"

"I guess we're both going to get zeros." Calum said with a smile.

"Fine." I scoffed.

I readjusted my beanie and looked over at Calum, who was eyeing the blonde bimbo sitting at the table in front of us and I couldn't help but cringe. She was either wearing shorts or underwear, there was really no difference.

The girl turned around and I almost threw up. I thought nothing could get worse than her so called "shorts" but her makeup proved otherwise. I have absolutely no idea how to do makeup, but I'm positive you are not supposed to look like an orange raccoon that rubbed it's face against multiple different colored crayons.

She bit her lip at Calum, who winked back at her.

"Jesus Christ." I muttered under my breath.

I've heard stories about Calum. Some say he has slept with every popular girl here at least once, and has gotten into multiple fights. Others say that he was caught smoking pot multiple times on school grounds, and that he's been arrested more than once. I've never really been one to judge, but by his actions right now I think it's safe to believe he's gone to town.

While Calum was practically having eye sėx with the girl, I couldn't help but stare at him. His dark hair was in a perfect quiff, and his blonde streaks fit him perfectly. I couldn't help but notice how prominent his cheekbones are. His ripped Sleeping With Sirens shirt hugged his broad body, and as my eyes wondered more I could see multiple tattoos covering his arms. There was no denying that Calum Hood is attractive.

"I like Sleeping With Sirens." I blurted out.

I'm an idiot.

Calum averted his gaze off of the blonde and smiled at me. "Really?"

"Yeah." I looked down embarrassed at my sudden outburst. "They're tied as one of my favorite bands. My other favorites have to be The Maine, Sum 41, Bowling for Soup, Go Radio, Blink-182, Boys Like Girls, and Young Guns." I said nervously.

"Damn. Nice taste. You left out the best band in existence, though. All Time Low."

I looked up in confusion. "Who..?"

Calum's jaw dropped and he just stared at me for a few seconds. "Oh my fucking god. Are you being serious? You don't know who All Time Low are?" He yelled.

"Yes?"

Calum noticed that a few of our classmates turned around at his sudden outburst, and he flipped them off.

How polite.

"Rachel. I am.. I am disgusted. We are changing this right now." he said, while reaching into his pocket.

I tried to hold in my laugh, but it was no use. Calum was having slight difficulties trying to get his phone out of his pocket.

"Shut up." He mumbled.

After those words left his mouth the bell rang, and we both frowned.

"See ya tomorrow Rachel. Don't you dare listen to them without me. I wanna see your reaction when you realize how fucking amazing they are." Calum demanded.

I couldn't help but smile.

We both gathered our belongings and exited the classroom, parting ways.

I learned absolutely nothing about a frog's organs, but I did learn a few things. Mr. Roden is oblivious, Calum Hood is beyond attractive and has a great taste in music, and I may have developed a stupid high school crush on him in 45 minutes.
