"Why do you and Ashton hate each other so much?" Calum asked as soon as we had reached our class.

"Didn't you see? That fucker just let me trip," I huffed while sitting down in the back of the classroom. Calum joined me. He sighed, sitting down as well and buried his hands in his face.

"Do you even realise that being friends with Ashton could bring you closer to Michael?"

"I don't want to be friends with that bitch. Michael or no Michael," I said with crossed arms. It might have seemed childish, but I could care less.

"At least just try to be nice to them?" Calum asked, getting a bit desperate for me and Ashton not to fight anymore.

"Michael hates me already as well," I mumbled. "It would be no use anyway. Though I just caught him off guard pretty well, didn't I?" I smirked, still proud of my sassiness. Calum face palmed himself.

"That isn't going to help your situation here, mate."

I shook my head. "Can't you see, Cal? Nothing will help this situation. Even if I tried to be nice, they already hate me too much," I sighed, feeling defeated. "God, why do I have to be so clumsy and anti-social?" There was a short silence between us.

"I could try and talk to Ashton?" he suddenly said. "He does listen to me. Maybe he'll forgive you if I say you didn't mean anything to go this way." I shrugged.

"Small odds that that's going to work."

"I'll try, okay?" he gave me an encouraging smile before I nodded and the teacher told us to be quiet.

During lunch break Calum and I sat at our usual spots and as usual I was staring into Michael's direction every now and then. Because no matter how rude he might have been at times or how much he hated me, he would always be the most beautiful person in my eyes. He just looked so hot, like he did every day, but he always surprised me with how great he would look and he would always made my heart flutter only by his looks.

I started to feel a bit happiness inside of me again that day, seeing Michael laugh and be happy (because his happiness was the source of mine), until his eyes suddenly caught mine. Then his smile faded. So did my heartbeat. I noticed a wave of irritation across his face by seeing me looking at him. He pulled up an eyebrow and he mouthed "What?" at me.

I copied his action by pulling up my eyebrow as well, irritating him even more. I felt the confidence and sassiness suddenly rushing into my veins again. I saw him rolling his eyes and I smirked at him, before putting back my attention to Calum who was rambling something about how sweet his girlfriend was. I completely ignored Michael again.

After about half a minute I looked back into his way, to see his eyes were still on me, furrowed in hate. On the inside I started to fangirl a bit, because damn, he was still looking at me? Angry or not, he noticed me and that's more than I could have dreamed of until only less than a week ago. I was debating in myself whether to look away or not, but before I could make a decision, my confidence-rush took me over again.

I felt a cheeky grin form on my face and suddenly I winked at Michael. I quickly looked back at Calum, shocked by my own action and I felt my cheeks heating up. I was too afraid to look back at Michael for the rest of the lunch break.
