Calum:

I found the girl sitting next to me being extremely attractive. I never approached girls. Girls approached me. Typically, I would have never listened to Ashton.

"Hi, I'm Calum," I mumbled.

I felt dumb. I have never introduced myself to a girl before. She took off her glasses and her face looked oddly familiar. 

Aria.

This was definitely someone I knew. I felt even dumber for being attracted to her in the first place.

"Oh... it's just you."

"I'm sorry I'm not what you expected," she responded.

The things they did say about her was true. She really didn't stop talking.

"Did I hit a soft spot?"

I knew she couldn't come back from that. She played with her hair and ignored me.

"Did we have sex and I forgot about it again? You know Ash, that happens a lot? More often than you think," I joked.

She took a deep breath and ignored me yet again. This was the first time that I have ever spoken to her and I truly wanted to see how far I could push Aria.

"Ashton, did we have sex? I think you'd know. You'd know, right?" I continued. 

Ashton gave me an annoyed look. I guess he wasn't having it either.

"No one likes you," she said.

"Ouch. I'd beg a differ. Ashton likes me. Don't you Ash?"

Ashton hesitantly nodded. I talked to the girl next to me. I forgot her name but found a way around it.

"Hey, excuse me, do you like me?" I asked the girl.

She nodded and Aria turned a bright shade of pink.

"I think what you meant to say is... no one likes Aria." Calum continued.

"Shut up," she responded.

"Shut up," I mocked.

"That's enough, Mate," Ashton chimed.

"Chatty Aria got hot over the Summer. Don't ya think?" I continued.

All of a sudden, I felt someone's breath pressing on my neck. My skin went cold and goosebumps spread down my body. It was a familiar scent. It was Luke. The rumours were true. 

Luke's back.

"That's enough, Calum. I went to jail once and I'm not afraid to do it again," he whispered.

He sat on the other side of Aria, twiddling his thumbs. He had a smirk of satisfaction. Luke and Aria began making conversation. I had no clue that they knew each other. 

"I don't understand how you can be friends with that fag," I said to Ashton.

"First one was a warning and I'm not deaf. Strike one, Cal. Two more strikes and you're out," Luke announced.

Luke was the only person that intimidated me. He went to jail because of me and to my surprise, he definitely wasn't afraid of going back. I cheated on his sister, Dakota with Aria's hot sister, Arizona. He lost his shit at me and someone called the police. He went to jail for two months for sexual harassment. Both Aria and Dakota had twin siblings. Something I had never noticed before.

"Hey Aria, can I borrow your virginity for a second?" I teased.

I honestly wanted to see how far I could push the kid. Luke didn't even flinch. He was playing the same game I was, even Aria ignored me.
