At break Charlie went off to meet up with ben, leaving you. You were panicking because you didn't know the ways of the corridors. Someone put their hand on your shoulder. You jumped.  "Gosh, i apologise. I didn't mean to make you jump that hard." A voice said. You recognised it. You looked up and saw Callum. You narrowed your eyes, crossed your arms and turned to him. "You've been nice to me. I thought you were supposed to be a cold person." You say.

He laughed. "Im cold to the teachers and the homophobic group. The teachers focus on them a lot so they only see the cold me. Also, lets go outside, we're kinda blocking the the hallway." He leads you outside. "Wanna skip school and go to my house?" He asks. You frowned. "Its my first day and I've basically just met you." He sighs. "Yep thats fair. Oh btw the teachers dont really care if you leave. Ive done it tons of times." He says.

In this story, they don't care but dont walk out of school irl bc you'll get told off.

You and him sat down somewhere. He took out some food and looked at you. "Do you have any food?" He asks. You took out the packet of doritos tao brought you. "Well, thats not enough, here, have a sausage roll." He handed you a sausage roll and you thanked him. You told him you would eat it lunch. He nodded. "Which year are you in by the way? Sir didn't say." You ask him. "Oh! Im supposed to be in year 11 but i got held back so im in year 10." He explained. You hummed.

"Do you have any pets?" He asks you. You looked at the ground, about to cry. "I had a cat called Amaru. He was grey and very fluffy." You said. "Had? Did he die?" Callum asks. "Nope. My parents kicked me out of my house a few days ago because i told them i was trans. I couldn't take the cat with me. I really miss him." You say, wiping the tears that had rolled down your face. He pulled you onto his lap and hugged you. You calmed down a bit.

"You know, youre really light. Im guessing your parents were starving you." He said. You said nothing. "Where are you staying now?" He asks. "Im staying at Tao's house. His mother is letting me live there." Callum laughed. "Tao's the one with a funny haircut isn't he?" He said. You nodded. "Do you think anyone has seen me just sitting on your lap?" You ask. He shook his head.

"No one ever comes back here. No teachers, no students. The teachers have let me be here so i can be calm and not start fights." He explains. You nodded. The bell rang. You got off his lap and stood up. You two walked to class. "You didnt eat anything" he tells you. "I was too distracted by our conversations." You said. He sighed. "Okay but at lunch, your eating something and im making sure of it. You laughed nervously.

And yes, at lunch, he made you eat something. He tickled you until you ate something. You had the doritos tao brought you and the sausage roll he gave you. You felt really good after you ate them. He chuckled and gave you his sandwich which you also ate. You didn't feel hungry anymore. Once it was time to go home, tao found you and you two walked home. Him constantly talking about Elle.

Once you got home, you were greeted by Yan. She asked all about your day, completely forgetting about Tao. Tao was chuckling so you were relieved he didn't feel angry. "So im making dinner right now, if you're allergic to anything, just tell me and i can change it.

So, im not even halfway through episode 1 i am probably going to rush season 1 so i can get to season 2 because i loved season 2 so much. But 3 chapters for not even half of episode 1 is scary.
