-------------------------------------------------

Victoria's P.O.V.

I wake up with my work scattered around me. I check the time and realized I was late. I guess I fell asleep and didn't set my alarm. I've already missed half the day. Why didn't my mum wake me?

I sigh standing up and grabbing my phone.

I check my texts and I have one from Jess and one from Luke.

Luke. Shit. I was supposed to call him yesterday.

I check my text from Jess first so I can call Luke after.

'Hey you coming to school today?'

'I guess not. Nobody woke me up, and fell asleep before putting my alarm on'

I check Luke's text.

'Morning babe, hope you had a good first day yesterday :)'

I decide instead of replying I would just call.

"Hey, Vic." He answers.

I smile, "Hey, Luke."

"Wait, why aren't you at school?" He asks, realizing the time.

"Nobody woke me up, so I woke up late. I decided I just wasn't going to go." I explain.

"Oh. Well how was yesterday?" He asks.

I sigh, "It was fine I guess, I-"

"Calum fuck off." Luke interrupts. "Sorry Vic."

"It's Vic? Hi Vicky!" He says taking the phone from Luke.

"Calum!" Luke groans.

"So Vic.. How's life?" He asks.

"Calum.." I say. "Give the phone back to Luke."

"No I want to talk to you." He replies. "Wait, why aren't you at school?"

"Because I'm a badass who skips the second day." I say.

He laughs, "You would never skip school, you probably overslept."

I went to say something but I was cut off my him shouting, "Shit!"

"Calum give me the phone, please!" I faintly hear in the background.

I smile and wait for somebody to talk to me.

"Hey Vic." Luke sighs.

I giggle, "What's going on there?"

"Calum is being annoying as usual." He replies.

Calum shouts a faint 'Hey!' in the background.

"Oh shut up Cal!" Michael yells in the background.

I laugh. It's only been about four days and I already want them to come back.

"So, how was yesterday?" He asks, again.

"It was alright.. I'm sorry for not calling yesterday.  I was talking with Jess and I had some work and I just fell asleep." I tell him.

"Who's Jess?" He questions.

"I was asked to show her around the school, she's new. And I don't know we became friends." I explain.

"Do you like your classes?" He asks.

"Yea they're alright. I just want you guys back in classes with me. I miss you guys." I sigh.
