It's the first day of school.

Yesterday, Calum took me last minute school shopping. I just grabbed a couple notebooks, a binder, a sketchbook and a bunch of pencils and pens.

To say I was nervous was an understatement. I was terrified.

As I stand in front of the mirror in the upstairs hallway, I fiddled with the hem of my shirt. I wanted to look nice but not draw attention. Mali helped me pick out an outfit which consisted of a white crop top with a small knot on the front, black skinny jeans, white Converse and a denim jacket with grey sleeves and hood.

"Don't you look cute. Oh my god twinning!" Calum came down the stairs wearing a similar outfit but in black. Black shirt, jeans and Converse. Over top, he wore a denim jacket with black sleeves and hood. I smiled slightly.

"You ready?" He asked as we grabbed our bags and headed out to his car.

"As ready as I can be." I replied and sighed as he started the car and pulled out of the driveway.

It was only a ten minute ride to the school and by the time we pulled into the student parking lot, I was willing myself not to start hyperventilating. But Calum noticed the tiny shake in my hand.

"Hey shh shh, it's okay babe. Take my hand, and we'll go find the guys." He squeezed my hand and I nodded quickly.

As Calum said hi to a few people on our way to the front entrance, I could hear the gossipy whispers start.

"This way." Calum pulled me toward the second story and took a piece of paper out of his pocket. He squinted at the locker numbers until he found the one he was looking for.

"This one's yours. I'm gonna find mine and I'll be right back and we can walk to class together, okay." He explained and walked away after I nodded.

I opened my locker and placed my backpack inside after taking my notebook and binder out. I was about to close it when the locker beside me opened and a person popped their head around the door and grinned.

"Hi locker buddy!" He had curly hair and hazel eyes. "Hey." I said politely.

"Is it hi or hey?" The boy giggled and stuck his hand out and introduced himself. "I'm Ashton Irwin. Are you new? I've never seen you before so you must be." I chuckled inwardly at how peppy this boy was and nodded.

"Yes, I'm Della Hood. Aren't you Calum's friend, the drummer?" He nodded then his eyes widened.

"Wait a second, you're Adelina Hood, Calum's new sister!?" Ashton's loudness caused me to take a step back. He surprised me when he started squealing.

"Hey Ashton, I see you've met Della." We turned to see Calum standing behind us with a grin. Ashton gasped and threw himself into the brunette's arms. "Cally! I missed you."

Calum laughed and hugged Ashton back. "I missed you too but we should probably get to class."

Ashton giggled and we closed our lockers. Calum took my hand once again and since our schedules were the same, he led me to our first class.

Ashton bounced down the hallway beside us. "What do we have first?" I asked Calum and he looked at the schedule. "Umm, maths." He said and Ashton groaned.

"Ew, maths is gross."
