His friend, Luke. Paced around the entrance waiting for Calum to show up in time. He can't even be punctual for something that's favorable for him.

"He's got to be kidding." The blonde mumbles.

"He's coming, Luke." Michael says sitting on the stairs with his eyes barely opened.

"We're going to be late." Luke sits next to his best friend. "I'm calling him." The boy takes out his phone and searched through his contacts.

"-pick up lazy bi- he fucking declined." The boy stared at the screen in disbelief.

"You're worst than his girlfriends." Michael laughed.

"He might as well be." A voice in front of them spoke. "I have red bull, party animals." Calum raised a brow.

"I've never gone out having classes the next day, you're already corrupting me." Michael said standing and dragging Luke with him.

"Yeah, sure." Calum buffed. "Hey, wait up."

Calum got to his corresponding campus, it all looked familiar and unknown at the same time. He's been there before but not exactly because it was another career.
For a moment he felt odd because he was the eldest in most of his classes, not that he was extremely old but almost everyone in there were no more than 19 maybe 20.

He looked down at his schedule.
Anatomy.
Calum thought it'd be kind of easy until he was told to learn every single damn bone.
The day passed quickly and the tanned boy tried to be as organized as possible.

"How was your first day of school?" Michael mocked him.

"Fuck off." Calum laughed. "Weird but fine though."

"What? You're not comfortable with being the daddy of the class?" the boy with colorful hair asked in a serious tone.

Luke snorted and tried not to laugh.

"God, Michael." Calum squinted his eyes.  "Stop acting like I'm 30 or something." He let out a laugh.
His pocket vibrated and the boy took out his phone.

"how's everything going? " 

Calum bit his bottom lip and scratched the back of his neck.

" fine, i'm having lunch with the guys rn." 

"right tell them i say hi also i get out at 8 today btw:( ..."

"that sucks"

"yeah"

He stares at the screen not in the mood to have a real conversation with Lana. Calum huffed and locked the screen but it sounded again.

"i guess i won't bother you, take care x"

Calum read the message and left his phone on the table and started to eat.

"Why?" He mumbled to himself. Luke noticed something was up and raised an eyebrow at him.

"Something's wrong?"

"Eh no...it's fine." Calum tapped his fingers on his legs.

"-Anyways guys, I've been spending more time with Hazel and it's been great so far, She's like clingy and all though." He said almost out of the blue.

"What can you expect? you barely saw her." Luke said in an obvious tone.

"But you've been ignoring Lana?." Michael Asked him.

"Kind of."

"What do you mean kind of? ...don't take it out on her, I swear." Michael seemed serious about it. Luke stared at his friend confused.
