"so you haven't told anyone he's there?" anna asks and i sigh. "that, a definite no haylie." she shakes her head and walks ahead of me.
"who am i supposed to tell? i wasn't even going to tell you. you just had to get on my phone." i stuff my books into the locker and start to walk away.
i hear her little heels clicking and i stop when she says my name. "look i'm sorry. i shouldn't be upset with you. it's not like he's my brother. i guess i haven't been feeling my best lately."
"what's the matter, are you alright? is it ashton? i can kick his ass for you. or get luke to." i brush my hands on her shoulders. she smiles and laughs.
"i think he loves me haylie." i look at her with my eyes wide.
"did he say it? like did he tell you I love you?" i almost whisper the sacred three letters.
anna shakes her head. "then why do you think?"
"nevermind. but that new guy's pretty hot huh? lucky you have him for most of your classes."
"how do you know stalker?" i push her slightly as we walk. i've missed her, since she started dating and going out i haven't seen her. i stay in, take care of my brother and do my school work plus the occasional dishes. anna has always seemed to have a more extravagant life style than i have. but i've learned to settle for the details the day after.
"hi." calum has his hand in his pocket and with the other he's holding his notebooks. i always find him looking the same.
"hi." i wave at him, elbowing anna who's pinching at my thigh giggling.
he walks in and finally she's able to catch her breath and laugh, loud. i look at her with a mean face, it fades as her face turns pink then purple.
"you.. you think he heard us talking about him?" she screeches for breath.
"go to class annabeth." i look at her and she shuts up. she looks around to see if anyone saw, then runs in her 3 inch heels.
...
"i'll pick you up after school." calum clears his throat then speed walks out before the bell.
the teacher has assigned us a group project, minimum of two students. calum had ignored me the whole 45 minutes of class. i asked to borrow a pencil and he gave me a pen. he saw me make mistakes and have to constantly scratch out my notes. the last 5 minutes he decided to take notes he pulled out a mechanical pencil and wrote everything. everything. like he had it all stored in his head. i gave him a look and slightly tossed his pen at him.
he didn't look at me once and now he wants to be partners? the hell is going on in his head. but it's too late, everyone has a partner and i'm terrible at physics. from his rapid note taking i have faith that he can save my grade.
"hey boyfriend." i coo on my top toes to whisper into his big long ears, they're not wide like mine. they don't tick out either, they're really cute in that way. what am i doing admiring his ears? i feel his body tense up as i grab into his waist. i feel a slight tug and he completely turns around not wanting to be touched.
