"appreciation project"

Cal

Hi my name is y/n.

I'm a 4'11 fare skin blue orb girl. Im semi popular. I hang out with all the popular people, but honestly I feel like an outcast. Like I don't belong with them.

You see I'm not like them. The girls, Im different. They like to party, they love makeup, fashion and etc. But me no, I hate the party life, I don't care for makeup and I have zero fashion sense. I care about school, I would prefer picking up a book rather makeup.

But here we are hanging out with the populars. Mandy, the queen bee of our school, is my supposed friend. She's only friends with me because I tutor Cal.....

You see Cal is the most popular and hottest guy out there. Everyone for him is crushing on him, especially me. I've always liked Cal long before his popular grew. I've grown jealous ever since he got popular. More and more girls like him and it's so gross. They like him for his popular unlike me.

"Y/n"

"Y/n are you listening"

I hear my name being called, and find regain control and turn to where the noise source is coming from. It's coming from Mandy.

"Sorry no-ooo" I said

"Gosh y/n you're useless" "I said if you've seen Cal, I know you're tutoring him later" she gave me weird look.

"No, no I haven't seen him."

She didn't like my answer and flips her hair to face the other girls.

sigh....

I know I shouldn't be friends with them but...but It's the only way I can be close with Cal.

Just as I was in my own thoughts I felt the weight of someone sitting in front of me. I didn't bother looking, it was probably one of Mandy's friends.

"Hi y/n"  i look up to see the 6'1 king himself. Cal. I was flabbergasted on why he was sitting in front of me.

I'm just y/n. Loves school ,
Justin Bieber, reading, writing, hate parties. Just y/n

"H-h-I-I-I ca-l-l-l" i say embarrassed

"How are-"

"CALLLLLLLLLL" Mandy says cutting off Cal's question.

"How have you been cally" she says in a high pitch voice.

"I'm go-"

"Cal baby come sit over here, you don't need to be next to y/n" she says .

I put my head down not trying to start anything, they always put me down. I don't stand up because I'm weak I couldn't handle it.

I feel a pair of eyes on me and when I averted my eyes to the direction of eyes, I land on Cal's. He just gives me a small smile while I return him one too.

I sit there being the outcast of the group, no one pays attention to just plain normal y/n.

*time skip*

It's now the end of the school day. Im leaving my ap chem class and walking towards the library where I'll meet up with Cal.

As I enter the library I see Cal with Mandy too comfortable with each other. I don't know what happened but suddenly something inside me felt jealous. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to leave but I couldn't something inside me didn't want to leave but something inside of me didn't want to be there either. I was conflicted, after a few minutes of being there I got the courage to walk up to them and continue with the tutoring.

"Y/n" "hi" Cal said

"Hi Cal" I say "are you ready"

"Ye-"

"Actually y/n he might have to skip, yk he kinda has more important things to do" Mandy announces out loud

"Oh.."

"Mandy no, I already told you I have to get my grade up to get the scholarship money I need"

"But......CALLLLLLLLLL"

Mandy was just getting on my nerves, who did she think she was. First she takes him away from me at lunch now right now?! During our tutoring time the only actually time I have with him. I can't believe her.

"Mandy he already said no, plus we have to go over an important topic right now" I say

"Y/n i don't know who you think you are talking to me like that? Do you know who I am! I can ruin your life whenever I want. You should've thought before you said anything to me, especially in front of Cal. And don't act stupid I know you like you can clearly see it all over your face, the way you drool, puppy eye, and constantly follow him." She said to me in the most venomous voice I've heard. "Yk y/k this is why your mom and dad died in that car crash 5 months before you were born"

My eyes started to water, I can't believe she brought up my dead parents, especially the fact to let everyone I haven't met them. You are ever since they died i have had to take care of myself. I live in this cardboard box a couple of streets from the school. I eat food from the near by restaurant called "trash can"

It's hard being a teenager and adult at the same time trying to raise myself

"Mandy, stop you shouldn't have said that. Why would you say that Mandy? They've never done anything to you" Cal said.

I couldn't handle it anymore. I grab my stuff and run out the library as fast as I can.

"Y/N WAIT" I hard Cal call from the distance.

I keep running until I made it into the janitors closet. As I'm in the janitors closet I try my hardest to calm myself down.

After a few minutes of breathing I was able to calm myself down. I grab my stuff and open the door. As soon as I open the door I am meet a face...Cal's face.

"Y/n there you are, I've been looking for you"

"Oh you have"

"Is it true?!"

I start to panic he knows about my crush. What. What. Do I do. Lie?

"Y-y-e-e-s-s-s" no i was supposed to say no. I CANT BELIEVE I SAID YES.

"Yk y/n I've already had a crush on you too"

My heart stopped

"Wha-a-a-a-t-t-t"

"Yes, I have ever since freshman year"

"Y/n i love you so much"

"Cal I also love you"

"Do you really?"

"Yes I do"

"In that case.... Y/n y/m y/l do you want to be my girlfriend"

"oh-oh-oh myyyyy YES-S-S"
