I'm finally sleeping soundly after tossing and turning all night when my alarm clocks goes off. fuck I think to myself. Why do things always happen when you don't want them to? I look over at Adley's side of the room and her bed is still empty. I'm getting kind of nervous but she's stayed out before. I push the thought to the back of my mind and roll out of bed very slowly.
When I'm standing I realize how hungry I am, all I ate yesterday was half a box of wheat thins. I get dressed into some dark wash skinny jeans that are high waisted and a plain olive vneck shirt. It's so soft and exactly what I'll be wearing every day of the semester. Underneath my shirt is a white nike sportsbra and the straps peak out underneath the shirt. I slip on some white beat up converse and trudge into the bathroom. When I turn on the lights I'm blinded for a second, these are literally the brightest lights ive ever seen.
I lightly put on some brown mascara and straighten my hair only turning the heat on halfway. My hair comes down to my middle back and it's blonde with natural highlights. I put on the little three triangle necklace my dad bought for me when I was 10 it was long then but now it's short. I wear it everywhere just to remind me he's still with me. I slip on some small gold bracelets that add just a little color to my outfit.
I check myself in the mirror and sigh "it's as good as it's gonna get" I think out loud.
I grab my ray bans off my desk and my backpack, adley bought them for me last year. I open the door and head down to the mess hall still wondering where adley ran off to. I stand in line waiting for some breakfast while my stomach is growling. I think people can hear it because I keep getting weird looks. I hate it when people stare at me. I get up to the oatmeal station and smile at the lady who is handing out the bowls. She gives me a nasty look and plops a bowl of it on my tray.
'Geez, who peed in her oatmeal today' I think to myself.
I check my phone and see that it's already 9:00 my class starts at 9:30. I shovel down my oatmeal and throw away the trash. I'm not an attractive eater normally so when I'm in a hurry its even worse. My first class is only a 10 minute walk and it saves me gas money. I'm taking a neurology class because I've always been interested in how the brain works. Apparently it's a small class and I'm so happy about that. Too many people all at once stresses me out. I keep thinking about Calum and our encounter last night. Will he remember it? Who am I kidding he's a little fuckboy that does this to every girl just to get in their pants. I actually hope I never see him again. Before I know it im outside the college, I walk in and try to find my class. This place is huge I don't think I'll ever get used to it. I still have about 5 minutes and I decide to get to class early and attempt to find a decent seat in the back of the classroom. I finally find my class and take a deep breath before opening the door. Theres three people two I've never seen before and one none other than Calum Hood himself. wow 'mr. coolest guy in school' is on time. I internally groan but try not to let it show I'm going to act like I don't even know him. He's sitting at the front of the classroom and his head whips over to look at me when I enter the room. I see something in his eyes but it fades quickly and he looks back down at his desk. I speed walk to the back of the class and pick a nice seat away from all the people.
Suddenly I see movement where Calum is and see him stand up gather all of his stuff and start making his way towards me.
"Fuck, no, shit, damn, please no, holy fuck" I mumble under my breath.
His head is down and he picks a seat one away from me on the same row. This is exactly what I didn't want to happen out of all the classes he had to choose this one it's like he did it on purpose. Class starts and there's only 30 people in the class including me. The professor is an old man and when he starts to teach I know he's gonna be the crabbiest man I've ever met.
"Psssttt" I hear from beside me. I ignore it and look down at my syllabus.
Suddenly I feel something hit my cheek, a paper ball. Then another one and another, on the fourth one I look at him and whisper/scream, "stop!"
He giggles and covers his mouth trying to be quiet. He has a cute smile, 'what the fuck are you thinking lacey, snap out of it he's a man whore'.
"Can I borrow a pencil" he asks still laughing slightly. "Sure you can, just not from me", I say in a sweet sarcastic tone.
His smile drops and mumbles something under his breath that sounds like "bitch".
he looks down but then looks up at me quickly again, "Have I met you before?" he asks.
I chuckle and mutter under my breath "if only you knew".
"Your gonna have to be a little louder" he shouts.
Everyone turns around and stares at us and I immediately become as red as a tomato.
The professor sighs, I don't even know his name yet oops, and takes off his glasses and crosses his arms. "is everything all right back there" he asks clearly annoyed.
"yes, yes we're all good in the hood" calum says with a straight face. i stifle my laugher and calum loses his straight face and starts laughing himself.
"Well", the professor sighed even more annoyed now, "I can assure you my classroom is no hood, so I recommend you get out".
Calum starts packing up his stuff and I sit back in amazement like he's so used to this.
"You too Mrs. Simmons" My mouth drops and I start to say "but he-" and he cuts me off.
"Save the buts for that twerking business you ladies do these days and get out".
In awe I pack up my stuff and walk out more embarrassed than I've ever been in my life. When we step outside I immediately start yelling at Calum.
"You little idiot you got me kicked out of a class on the first fucking day I've never been so humiliated In my entire life!" He just stands there letting me rant and taking all the comments not making one expression.
Finally when I'm done and out of breath he speaks "alright well if we're done with that little bitch fit I'm starving, you want to go get some Breakfast?"
i stare at himwith hatred, "Did you not just hear anything I said" I half scream half whine.
"You see I did but all I kept thinking about was Denny's pancakes and you kind of lost me, sorry babe".
He starts to walk off and I have to jog to catch up to him.
"you like Denny's too?" I ask amazed.
"Umm yes it's only the Best breakfast place on the earth" he scoffs.
"My sister hates it and so I never get it", I told him.
"Your sister is Adley right?" he asks.
"Yeah.. how'd you know?" I didn't know adley was well known.
"Oh she was a good fuck is all" he says so nochalantly.
I gasp and start freaking out. "Kidding kidding I was just kidding holy shit your so protective of her", he's says laughing a little.
'it's a sister thing' I think to myself.
I smack him lightly on the arm and laugh still a little worried that he actually wasn't kidding. But I leave that thought alone and we start to make the long 10 minute walk to get some pancakes.
