Not You

I burst away from this Calum guy, making my way to my first class of the day. Which, if I do say do myself, I found easily thanks to my map.

As I open the door, I take my seat in the back of the class room, creating distance between me and the news faces I don't know.

"Your late." Our teacher says, scolding at the dark toned boy and his friends as they walk in late.

"Sorry Mr. Cole." The familiar voice speaks.

"No your not, go take your seat."

I look down at my hands. Even though I know nobody was paying attention to me, I still felt the need to look away. "Your in my seat, lady."

I look up at the boy that I had come in contact with already today. Suddenly my anger boils. "And is your name on this seat? Does X mark the spot?"

"I'll have you know this is where I got moved to. Because apparently I'm a distraction to the people who want to learn." Calum boasts, crossing his arms.

"And you say that like it's a good thing."

"So are you moving or not?"

"Nope." I stand my ground. If there's one good thing my mother taught me before she left, it's to stand my ground.

"Fine I guess I'll take my rightful place right beside you." Calum winks.

Internally I groan as he plops down next to me. For a while though, he didn't speak. All his friends sat either beside him or around me. The boy with the curly sandy hair seemed to be the one into paying attention. Taking notes just like me.

Then he starts kicking my seat. I try to ignore it, but he continues, eventually turning his body fully towards mine. "Can I help you?" I whisper whilst taking the notes I need.

"What are you doing after school today?" Calum ponders.

"Not you." I retort.

"Ha! Good one!" The guy with the vibrant blue hair laughs, fist bumping me. I awkwardly return it.

"Not yet. Right?" Calum raises his eyebrows. I roll my eyes looking away in a sigh.

"Hi I'm Luke. What's your name?" The other boy with the blonde spiked up fringe says.

"I'm Snow." I murmur, mentally thinking how were not getting in trouble for talking.

"I like that name. It's really pretty. My name is boring. Luke. Luke is boring."

I cant help but smile at him. I dunno if he was trying to be funny, but I thought he was. "It's not bad. Just common."

"So you like it?" Luke's chin points towards the ceiling as he smirks.

"No Luke she doesn't like it. She likes my name. Don't you Snow?"

Luckily the bell rings, so I can get away from them. Note to self: Pick another seat tomorrow. The rest of the day was a blur. I made some new friends. A boy named, Brad. And a girl named Nichole. They were a thing. Like madly in love type thing. I sat with them during lunch, and I met the rest of their friend group. I don't really remember all their names though.

The boy with the curly hair who hangs out with Calum had my lunch. He didn't talk to me, which I was glad of. He just kind of sat there and watched me eat. Soon after that I just threw away my food, finding it awkward.

It was now the ending of the day and I was in the line to load the bus. "Snow! Wait!" Calum jogs down the hallway, catching me before it was my turn to load. "I can give you a ride home so you don't have to ride the smelly bus."

"I think I'll mange. But thanks anyways." I try to sound nice, but I'm not for sure how nice it really was.

He sighs. "I mean it's no problem."

"I'm not letting you take me home, Calum. We'll see one another tomorrow." I groan, finally loading the bus.

"You'll find your way in my car one day!" He calls. I don't reply seeing as I'm already on the bus.

Calum. Calum. Calum your stupid.
