You sigh as you close the door to your locker. It was nearly the end of the day, thank god. You were surrounded by your friends, usually you would happily converse with them, but right now they were talking about the nerds of the school and how Tracy was manipulating one into doing her history essay for her. You disagreed with the whole idea but you kept your mouth shut.
You were in the popular crowd at your school but you never felt like you fit in completely. You stared across the hall as you waited for the bell for last lesson to sound. Your gaze fell on a pair of chocolate brown eyes. Calum. He was in a few of your classes. He was stood with his two friends. His shoulders were hunched over as he held his biology textbook against his chest.
You gave him a kind smile. His mouth parted slightly in surprise. He quickly looked away from you and shuffled down the hall. His friends looked confused as to the reason for his sudden disappearance. They followed him. You sighed as he disappeared from your view.
You sat next to Calum in Biology but you never really spoke much. You often tried to initiate conversation but it never lasted long. You had realised that Calum was a very shy person. As much as you wanted to get to know him, you didn't want to make him uncomfortable, so you kept to yourself.
"Dude where are you going?" Michael asked Calum as he caught up with him at the other end of the hallway. "Y/N smiled at me" he mumbled. Michael sighs in annoyance. "Calum, that's a good thing" Luke said. "No it was probably out of pity" Calum says sadly as he looks at the floor. Michael groans again, he was getting tired of Calum and his crush on you.
Michael sat in front of you and Calum in Biology and he cringed every time his friend would brush of your attempt at conversation. Michael knew that you liked Calum, but Calum was just too blind, and in too much denial to see it. Michael wanted Calum to just get it together and talk to you properly. Michael decided to take matters into his own hands and constructed a plan with your biology teacher for the partner project you were being assigned in lesson today.
Michael smirks, knowing that Calum will actually have to talk to you today. The bell rings. Calum and Michael say goodbye to Luke before walking to the biology labs.
Calum walks into the room, his gaze instantly landing on you. You were sat at the desk the two of you shared, reading a book until the lesson started. Calum smiled, seeing you sat there, so engrossed in what you were doing. "Talk to her" Michael nudges Calum as he walks to his seat. Calum sits down next to you. "Hey" you smile at him. Calum loved your smile. "Hi" he mutters as he grabs his notebook from his bag, ready for the lesson to begin. He doesn't speak another word, much to the annoyance of Michael who was sat in front of him.
It annoyed Michael that Calum thought that you didn't like him. Calum thought that you were friendly. You weren't like the other popular people in your school, who would only associate themselves with other popular people, you were nice to everyone. That's why he liked you.
