Erin's P.O.V.

He's perfect. Those two words were stuck in my head for the whole lesson. I kept stealing glances over at Calum, only to see he was already looking at me. We would exchange a cheeky grin at one another here and there, to which Alex, Luke and Michael would exchange weird glances, but we just ignored them. We were in our own little world.

My mind kept wandering back to the kiss and how cute it had been. The way he blushed and acted embarrassed at me knowing he'd never kissed anyone, it was adorable. He thought I'd change my mind about the kiss but I didn't. The fact he had been so honest with me, when he had clearly wanted me to think he had experience with kissing, was one of the sweetest things I'd ever experienced. And the kiss itself? The best I've ever had. His lips were so soft and gentle on mine.

I giggled out loud - causing people to look at me, until I shrugged them off - when I remembered the boner he had gotten when I touched his thigh slightly. I'm not going to lie, but it had slightly turned me on too when he had held my hips, but I'm a good actress and acted like nothing bothered me about it.

I could of gone on forever with my thoughts about the kiss, how he thought it went, what if I'd done it differently, but luckily the bell went signalling class had ended. I sighed in relief and closed my book, only now realising I'd written one thing on the page - the date. Oh well, I've never been a big fan of religious studies anyway.

I collected my stuff and headed out of the class room with Alex to find Aleisha and everyone else, getting slightly excited at the prospect of Calum sitting with me for a whole hour!

As we were walking down the corridor to the canteen, I felt a pair of hands cover my eyes causing me to jump and almost drop my books. "Guess who?" the voice said and a massive grin spread on to my face as instantly, I recognised his Australian accent with his slight lisp. I pulled his hands away and turned to face my blinder. Grinning at me was Calum and for the second time that day, I felt butterflies in my stomach.

Calum's P.O.V

There she was, right in front of me, grinning at me, her one dimple on her right cheek showing. I smiled at her, and if it hadn't have been for Michael telling us to stop flirting because he was hungry - causing us to blush incredibly, we would've stayed there, smiling at each other like idiots.

I was brought out of my little bubble of thought when I felt Erin giggling against me. I looked down at her and she whispered to me "wow. Michael gets cranky when he's hungry huh?" I couldn't contain the giggle that left my lips when I nodded. "You should've seen him on Saturday when Luke ate the last piece of pizza - if looks could kill I think we'd be at Luke's funeral today" this caused her to erupt in laughter and say "note to self, don't eat last piece of pizza", I nodded, smiling, and we both walked to the canteen.

Lunch went by really quickly, a little too quickly if I'm honest. I think it was because we were all laughing throughout. Ellie had joined us about 5 minutes in to lunch saying she'd got lost finding the canteen and had to ask a fat maths teacher where to go. Michael seemed to brighten up when she sat down because she sat down right next to him, and it was clear to everyone on the table that they both had a thing for each other although neither one of them would admit it.

Even though it was the girls' first day, it felt like they had been here forever - they both got on so well with everyone in the group which was a relief because that meant the group all liked them too.

I sighed when the bell for class went because I had P.E. Don't get me wrong, I love sports and everything, I was just sad because that meant I wouldn't see Erin until tomorrow, considering she had P.E too but the class was always split in to boys and girls and then afterwards she had photography, whilst I had music.

We all gathered our stuff and headed to the changing rooms located in the gym, we said our goodbyes and parted in to the designated changing rooms. Me, Luke, Michael and Alex in to one, Erin and Aleisha in to the other, considering Ellie was a year older than us and therefore had different classes to us.

Now, another thing I love about the P.E at school is that the boys class and the girls class all end up in the same area, be it the field or the sports hall. This was great because the girls P.E kit consisted of either short black shorts and a white polo shirt with the school logo on it, with trainers. Or black jogging bottoms and a blue v-neck sweater with the school logo on it.

When Erin and Aleisha walked out of the changing rooms it was clear Erin had decided to mix the sports kit up a bit and boy, did she look hot.

She had tied her hair up in a scruffy pony tail so it was all falling out and yet still looked perfect. She had opted for the short black shorts which showed off her amazingly long, tanned legs, but instead of wearing the polo shirt like everyone else did with the shorts, she was wearing the blue v-neck sweater and had rolled the sleeves up to her elbows. It was clear she wasn't wearing a top underneath it either. She had black vans on with batman ankle socks - making me like her even more - because I love batman.

I looked at Aleisha to see Erin must have helped her with her clothes too. She was also wearing the short black shorts - which made her bum look incredible, sorry Luke - but had opted for the white polo shirt. She had rolled the sleeves up a little on either side and had undone her top two buttons. She was also wearing black vans but she had the cute, little penguin ankle socks on that Luke loved oh so much. Her hair was up in a scruffy bun with bits falling out.

I knew Luke had seen Aleisha, because he was staring at her, open-mouthed and wide-eyed. I grinned knowing what was probably going through his mind right then, because I was thinking about it for Erin.

They walked across the field together along with the other girls, which contained the bitches of the school, all of whom were just staring at them. It was clear Britney and Courtney - the school's "Queen B's" - were just jealous because they looked so attractive.

There were a chorus of whistles from behind me, Luke and Michael causing us to turn around, only to be met by the school jocks whistling at Erin and Aleisha. I could feel Luke tensing next to me, after all Aleisha was his girlfriend, but I gave him the 'it's not worth it' look. He sighed and nodded and we walked over to the boys section of the field where we would be playing football (or soccer if you're American, Australian, etc).

We were given our teams, 11 a side. Luckily Luke, Michael and I were on the same team along with some other pretty decent players, but unluckily for us we were against Sam and James, who hated me, and were considered the best players the school team had had. Although that wasn't true.

I play on the school football team anyway, and everyone says that I'm better than they are put together, which is why they hate me. Because I'm genuinely really good at football.

The ball was placed on the opposite teams side, because they had won the coin toss and the ball was kicked towards our side.

Let the game begin.
