Sorry for any typos<3


Elizabeth's pov

The bell rang to signify the start of our lunch period and everyone gathered their stuff, quickly heading out of the classroom and to the cafeteria.

I went to my locker first to out my stuff up so I did t have to haul it to lunch. As I had my locker door opened and I was setting my stuff inside, I heard that voice that had been appearing nonstop the past week, almost like a moth that wouldn't go away.

"Hey, Lizzie."

"Hi, Cal." I sighed. Even after I told him not to, he continued to call me 'Lizzie' so I just gave up with it.

"Awe, you knew it was me and you haven't even seen my face yet." He replied, and I could tell that he was pouting in mock affection.

"Yeah, well, you have an annoying voice that's easy to recognize." I replied.

"I'll take that as a compliment." He shrugged and I rolled my eyes, closing my locker. "Don't."

"Oh please, you like hanging with me." He said, walking next to me as we headed down for lunch.

"And what gave you that idea?" I asked, clutching my lunchbox in my hand.

"You haven't told me to get lost and stay away from you yet."

I opened my mouth to reply but nothing came out, have I really not?

"I'm sure I have." I finally replied.

"Nope." He replied, popping the 'p'. "I know I'm annoying but if you genuinely told me to stay away from you I would have." He said.

He looked at me like he was expecting me to tell him that but I didn't say anything. I mean, he did kinda annoy me at first but it hasn't been so bad since then. I kinda like having not just one friend at this school, not that I was gonna tell him that.

"Eh, whatever." I shrugged.

He smiled as if he had just won a contest. We continued walking to the cafeteria when my phone buzzed in my pocket. I took my phone from my pocket to see a text from Taylor.

                             Taylor🔵👄🔵

Taylor🔵👄🔵: hey, honey:) I have to go to the studio for a last minute writing session with Jack at 1:30 and I don't think it will be over by the time I need to pick you up from school and Drew always comes with me to the studio so Travis offered to pick you up if that's okay.

Me: sounds good👍

Taylor🔵👄🔵: great! He'll be driving my car so just look for the one you usually do. Have fun at lunch❤️ I packed you one of the brownies I made during my baking spree yesterday.

I hearted Taylor's message and put my phone back in my pocket. We walked into the cafeteria and I began to walk towards my usual spot where Adam and I usually sit. Cal would normally walk away to go to his table with another friend he made since he's been here.

"Can I- uh, can I sit with you today? Liam's not here today?"

I glanced at him, watching as his face looked genuinely nervous, like he was scared that I was gonna say no. And a week or two ago, I probably would have. But maybe Taylor's making me nicer.

"Uh, yeah. Yeah, sure." I nodded. "I'm just sitting with my friend Adam over here." I replied. Cal nodded and followed me over to one of the lunch tables where Adam was already sitting.
