I Love the President's Daughter

Chapter 5: Peers

CALUM POV

I felt a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach after my encounter with Scarlett. I strolled out of the kitchen and Uncle Kent walked to me, his black jacket slung over his shoulder. "C'mon let's go." He said, handing me my backpack. We headed home where Uncle Kent promised me his world famous tacos which really tasted like a mushy sandwich.   

The next morning my alarm went off way too early. I groaned and ran my hands through my short, jet black, hair. Getting dressed quickly I headed downstairs to make something to eat that was better than a bagel. 

I searched through Uncle Kent's cupboards and fridge and made omelets for the both of us. Though I would never admit it, I actually kind of liked cooking and did it often for my family. 

"It smells good down here!" I heard Uncle Kent call, breaking me from my thoughts. I smiled, "Yeah I was hungry and got up early. I figured you'd steal mine if I didn't make something for you." I teased. He flipped me the middle finger and I just chuckled. 

Today Uncle Kent let me go in later when he went to go get Scarlett. When we got to her house, Kent went inside to get her and I just waited. I found myself subconsciously combing my fingers through my increasingly clammy hands. 

She came out wearing a beige skirt and a black, short sleeve shirt, her blonde hair straight. She smiled at me, making my heart flutter. 

Four Days Later

CALUM POV

Everyday was like this, my mornings were exciting seeing Scarlett, school was boring, nights when I saw Scarlett when I had to come back to the house with her and Kent. School was the only bad part of it all. When I got the schedule I knew that the school assumed I was stupid and put me in the slow classes, and at first I thought it would be easy. Well the classes are so slow that I'm finding myself more interested in trying to find something else to do. 

One day I was sitting in English reading the same book I had read in eighth grade when I heard a conversation that caught my attention. 

"Most bangable chicks in the grade?" The first guy asked. 

"Wanda, Sara, and oh, Scarlett the chick with the bodyguard." The other guy answered. 

The first guy smirked and nodded, "Ooh Scarlett is so hot. There are so many things I'd like to do to her. I'd-"

At this point the rest of what the guy was saying was tuned out from the anger that was boiling in my veins. I was seeing red and green, my fists clenched so tight you could see the white. Fortunately the bell rang and lunch was next. I walked behind the two idiots who were still discussing Scarlett and other girls. 

"Hey ass faces!" I called to them as we entered the cafeteria. The two turned to me, their faces unamused. "What did you just call us?" The shorter guy asked. I stood up straighter, "You heard me. I heard your sexist and rude conversation in English class and I didn't appreciate it. No one should talk about a woman like that, and as for Scarlett if I catch either of you talking to her, looking at her, or if you fucking touch her, I will kick your ass so hard that you can't see straight." I threatened through my clenched teeth. The lankier one tried to square up to me, but I wasn't the least bit intimidated, I had an inch over him as well as a ton of muscle. He smirked, "What if I already touched her?" He provoked. 

The next thing I knew, my fist went flying, connecting sharply against the corner of his jaw. 

From there, everything went black. 

AN: So, so, so sorry for the delay! Life has been crazy lately! The next update won't be so far apart! :)
