Moon// Calum Hood

Ch. 1

-Holland-

Finally, it's Friday. I've been waiting for today. There have been multiple rumors about four new guys -who are Australian- that will be enrolling at our school.

My friend, Elizabeth, and I have been raving about it. Some have said they got kicked out for beating a kid so bad he ended up in the hospital for weeks. Of course that seems a bit bogus, so I'm not all that scared. I have a reason to not be. I have a secret, that only Liz knows...

Putting on my school uniform, I take a glance in the mirror. Our school colors are red, black and white- personally I think those suit me, but Liz always complains that it drains out her completion. Either way, I still like it.

Grabbing my bag, and car keys, I walk out the door and start on my way to school.

Walking into school with my head high, I wave and return greetings from others. Being known around school basically means you get a 'Hello' from everyone. But I don't mind, I usually should be greeted like this. Seeing as that is my place in the pack...

Opening the doors, I head towards my locker, seeing that Liz is already waiting for me.

"Hey," I greet her, making her look up from her phone.

"Hey, did you see them?" She questioned.

"Who?" I ask trying to find out who the 'them' is.

"Luke, Calum, Michael, and Ashton," She told me looking at me crazy.

"I completely forgot, wow," I tell her forgetting about the thought I had from this morning.

"Well everyone is talking about it," She replied, looking back at her phone.

Grabbing my needed binders, I close my locker door and we make our way to class. Her and I have all the same classes. Kinda in case of emergencies.

Walking into class, we take our seats in the back, where we usually sit, waiting for class to start.

Thirty minutes into class the door opens and four guys walk in.

The first one was mega tall, with quiffed blonde hair, blue eyes, and a lip ring. Wearing a band shirt with tight black skinny jeans and black vans.

The second was a pail guy with crazy colored hair and styled in a messy sort of fashion, grey-green eyes, and an eyebrow piercing. With a band shirt black skinny jeans and black doc martins.

The third one had dirty blonde hair that was super curly, hazel brown/ green eyes, and tan-ish skin. Also wearing a band shirt, black skinny jeans, and black converse.

The fourth one really caught my attention... He had dark brown hair sort of styled in a quiff, with dark brown eyes, a band shirt, black skinny jeans and black and white lined vans. Him. I knew it was him.

"Mr. Hemmings, Mr.Clifford, Mr. Irwin, and Mr. Hood, first day and you're already late," Ms. Lyd scolded once she noticed the students that just entered the class. "Take a seat infront of Ms.Ryder," she directed. Crap.

They all looked back to where the teacher had pointed, almost immediately I directed my eyes at my text book, not wanting to meet their gaze. The four of them started to make their way back, and with every step my heard started to pound quicker. Not because I was scared. But because it was him. The one I've been looking for. Now he's here, and I know he can tell who I am as well. Just by the look on his face.

The boys took their seats in front of me, and let me just tell you, if I didn't already know who he was, I do now. His scent is like wild flowers. It's the most mesmerizing thing I've ever encountered. I knew he thought the same of me as well.

Finally deciding to do my work I glance down at my text book seeing a note already placed there. I open it carefully, making sure not to get caught.

'Why the bug eyes at the new kid?' Liz. I forgot she was here. Looking over at her, I could see her face she was making at the one with crazy colors in his hair.

'You know why' I write back. But getting caught trying to pass it. Shit.

"Ah, Ms. Ryder, passing notes are we?" Ms. Lye asked sarcastically.

"No I was just- um- I was-," Not being able to find words but also being cut of.

"Im- uh- what? Come up here and I will read it, you know my rule," she told me with a daring look in her eyes.

Knowing everyone's eyes were on me, I had to act fast. Knowing that reading this would reveal some of my secrets.

I then spot a Starbucks cup of coffee on a girls desk. Score.

Approaching the front I swipe the cup from her desk earning a 'hey' from the girl. Getting up there, it then take the folded paper, and shove it in the cup.

"Ms.Ryder!" Ms.Lyd exclaimed as the whole class watched most of the content fall onto the floor.

"Oh, did you want to read that?" I ask sarcastically and trying to play dumb, earning a glare from her but laughs from the class.

"Clean this up," she demanded.

"Actually, the janitor could, seeing as I have no supplies and no time," I tell her, using a bit of a deeper voice than before. Stuff is about to go down.

"Just sit down," she glared, watching me walk back to my seat, and getting high fives from some kids.

I could have handled that better, but you see, her rule is that you bring the note to her, and stand next to her while she reads it aloud. So pitting the note in a caffeinated, and syrup filled drink would render the paper sickly and unreadable. So I went with that.

  Walking past the new kids, Calum reached his hand out for a high five, I approached his hand and lifted my arm out, ready for it to hit his -in a high five motion-. I was scared, he was the one and touching him would light up sparks.

Doing it anyways, when our hands collided, and we gazed at one another, I felt everything stop. Cliché I know. But when someone like me, meets someone like he is... That is meant to happen most times. I felt my heart beat flutter, but slow down more. I felt calm, and safe, and okay for once.

  But I wasn't sure on how long that would last...
