Calum & Zoella

4. Zoella

After the embarrassing loud skirt mention by Calum in Maths class Zoella tried even harder to avoid him. Which was hard because Darcey was still around her and she seemed to know everyone, plus she was loud. Too loud. And extremely close.

"So, anymore inappropriate shouting's from Calum?" Darcey asked,

"You've been by me for the past 2 hours,"

"Yeah but when you went your locker,"

"You were at your locker 9 rows down,"

"9 rows is a lot," Darcey said, Zoella looked at her for a sign that she was joking, but she was serious and that frightened her. She couldn't be serious? 9 rows was not a lot, especially when the lockers were tiny and long.

"Yeah," Zoella said laughing awkwardly and looking down at her timetable to see where she was next,

"What is it with this school and double lessons?" Zoella wondered out loud,

"Double English?" Darcey asked eating another crisp, it was break and they were sitting on a wooden picnic table outside,

"Yeah,"

"I'm not in that class, I'm in double History with Luke and Michael. God they annoy me,"

"I have History last," Zoella told her, Darcey started to cough loudly and pat her chest,

"What? Are you okay?" Zoella asked leaning over to pat her back,

"You have the day with Calum,"

"I was planning on avoiding him,"

"You can't avoid Calum, he's everywhere," She told her, Zoella looked at her and blinked twice,

"He's a 17 year old boy Darcey, not a spy," 

"He could be if he wanted to,"

"Are you scared of him or something?"

"Psh, no," Darcey said laughing awkwardly,

"Do you like Calum?" Zoella asked, Darcey jumped over the table and slammed her hands of Zoella's mouth, Zoella screamed into her muffled hand,

"You do not say things like that out loud!" 

"Why not?" Zoella asked pushing Darcey's hands off of her mouth,

"Because he'll find out,"

"So you do?"

"God no!" She exclaimed,

"Then you're scared of him," Zoella said,

"No I am not!" Darcey shouted,

"Then what is it?"

"His friends, I don't know, I kind of like Luke but then Calum told him and now Luke thinks I'm weird and preppy,"

"You are weird and preppy," Zoella said,

"I know but I didn't want Luke to be told that, I wanted him to find that out about me,"

"In his defense it wouldn't be that hard to find out considering you practically run down the hallway and say hi to everyone under the sun,"

"Do you like Calum?" Darcey challenged, Zoella swallowed loudly and shook her head,

"He's just the boy I sat next to on the bus,"

"That let you sit next to him on the bus," Darcey corrected,

"Yeah that," Zoella said.

When Zoella walked into English class she was confused. It was empty apart from one person. Calum. She stared at him confused as he played on his phone, he did that a lot it's a wonder his battery doesn't die.
