Oh, Calamity | Muke ✔

After P.e Calum left to go get changed while the teacher got Michael to put all the basketballs back in the shed. As he walked into the shed, he collided into something and nearly tripped over.

As he looked up, ready to mutter sorry, he was taken back with a pair of dark brown eyes.

"Hey, I'm Sam" the girl with the brown eyes stuck out her hand. Michael recognized her from his art class. She was a year older than him and he had always envied her vibrant purple hair.

Michael shook her hand and replied with "Michael"

She grinned "Yeah I know, you're the guy who always painted the next hair colour you were going to get on the art rooms wall"

Michael blushed again. "Maybe.." he smiled, trailing off.

They both just stood there smiling at each other until Sam broke the silence.

"Well I better get going to my next class.." she said.

"Oh yeah, yeah. I'll see you around?"

"Yeah, that would be cool"

After Michael finished putting the basketballs away he rounded the corner to the changing rooms where Calum was standing outside.

"Don't talk to Sam, Michael. Haven't you heard? She's the biggest slag in the school" Calum hissed in his ear and then walked away.

Michael stood there confused, putting all of Calums words together. He had barely had a conversation with her.

He looked up and nearly fainted when he noticed Luke was standing only a few meters away.

Luke had happened to see the whole thing. It was clear in the way he was looking at Michael. His eyes were filled with sadness and disbelief.

They continued looking into each others eyes - both filled with so much untold words, until Michael bit his lip as he felt himself tearing up.

So, once again Michael broke eye contact and rushed into the changing rooms leaving Luke even more broken than before.

But Michael was already breaking himself without even knowing it yet.
