What I like about you. || Calum Hood

Chapter 2

Alika pov

There he is. The only class I have with the brown eyed boy. Calum was always early for human studies. It was probably because Mr. Frank always answers everyone's questions on sex. No matter what the topic was for the day, we'd always end up talking about sex. It's most definitely the only class Calum pays attention in. Whenever I walk through the hallways, he's sent out of class. I sit behind him next to the window. He turns around and smirks, "Hey Al, how's it going? Are you ready to learn more about sex? Do you know what a penis is?" I instantly roll my eyes, smile and say, "Yes Calum and from what I hear, you don't exactly have one." and look down at my books. Yes, I struggle to make eye contact, especially when the subject is about sex. Mr. Frank walks into the classroom and slowly raises the projector. It read: DUO ASSIGNMENT! Mr. Frank starts addressing the class about the assignment that's basically our whole term mark with a few PE lessons in between. Calum was still staring at me. I feel bad for dissing his dick, but I didn't mean to, he just makes me pissy. Calum scoffs," Says the prude of South Cape High." "Take that back you smelly prick!" I whisper shout. "No, prudish-Al-who's-never-seen-a-dick-before!" he says, somewhat loudly. This catches some of our fellow pupils' attention. "Ugh, go suck yourself some dick you chicken nugget. You're worse than a chicken, you're a chicken nugget!" I say, slowly getting up from my seat. Calum and I stare at each other, until I look up and see Mr. Frank glaring at us. "Stand up!" he shouts. We slowly stand up and I look down at the ground. I hardly ever get in trouble, ask anyone that. "What is going on now again?" he asks. Calum and I start talking over each other and again start arguing. "I can't help it if you've never seen a penis before. It's obvious you never saw my big—", Calum says loudly. "Oh please, stop praising yourself, you tiny c—", this time I got interrupted by Mr. Frank. "That was a rhetorical question! You guys are a pain in my bloody behind!" (That's kind of true. Mr. Frank constantly has problems shitting sometimes. Madison told me.) "You know what? I'm putting you both together for this assignment. I don't want any arguing over this." Mr. Frank says sternly. The class starts laughing and I roll my eyes. Calum raises his hand," Sir, what exactly is this assignment about?" "Since you guys weren't paying attention, you'll find out after school. You two better be here in this classroom and if not, you both are receiving a zero. Understood?" "Yes sir." I say sitting down in my seat.

"You guys don't understand how annoying Calum is!" I rant to Madric. "Yes, he called you a prude again. We know. You know Al; he's really not that bad you know. He's actually kind of cute." Madison says, slurping up her spaghetti. "Hello, boyfriend over here", Eric says raising his eyebrow at Madison. " Sorry babe. You're the cutest." she says, leaning her nose to Eric's nose. He smiles at her, grabs her and places her on his lap. This is the problem. I ALWAYS feel like the third wheel with them, always. "You guys are disgusting" I murmur and throw some of my cold water on them. "Really Alika, really?" he asks and wipes Madison with a paper sheet. " Sorry but you guys are so thirsty." I say and they agreed, laughing. As I laugh, Christian walks past our table and give us the weirdest of looks. "I wonder what his problem is." Eric states and rolls his eyes. "Do people still hate on us for being together?" Madison asks. "Yes baby, they do. I don't care though. I would never trade you to be Mr. Coolio of the school as you always say." He says and nudges her arm with his nose. That's the thing I'll never admit. The fact is that Christian only likes popular girls. He likes everything I'm not.

School is finally over for the day. I make my way to Mr. Frank's class and see Calum standing there before me. That's strange. He's early.

Calum's pov (oh yeah baby)

When Alika came to this school, I could immediately tell she was a virgin. I noticed her incredibly long eyelashes and her odd sense of style. I thought she was cute, but now? Man, she annoys the crap out of me! I make my way to Mr. Frank's class, since I'm chucked out of class anyways. I take my cigarette out and light it. Drugs are a big no from me, however cigarettes are okay. I wait until I see a tiny Alika walking towards me and stand next to the classroom door. We don't talk at all. She's obviously still pissed at me and I guess that is understandable. No one calls a prude a prude. It's offensive. "Ah, you guys made it." Mr. Frank says, unlocking his classroom door and walking inside. Alika and I sit in desks far from each other. "You guys never seem to get along at all, which bothers me as you two are always causing so much distractions in class. It's annoying and that's why you're doing this assignment together." We don't say a word. "Good to see that you're not back chatting. Okay, so Calum has to explain to the class who Alika is and Alika has to explain to the class who Calum is. You guys can be creative as you please. This is easy and I still don't understand why the curriculum allows grade 11s to do this. You have to go all out on this. You guys have about a month to do this. No more or no less." So I have to explain to the class what a prude is and Alika has to explain what a big dick looks like, easy.
