The boy next door (Calum Hood fic)

Chapter 1

I stepped into class late nervously, since Calum and his buddy pushed me down. I have to admit my back still hurt. Calum is very strong though. He plays soccer for our school, besides that he enjoys music too. I enjoy music a lot myself, I play guitar,piano,clarient,and I sing too. When I graduate I'm planning to go to AIM Australian Institute of Music.

I sit behind my friend Rose, who was annoyingly talented in drawing. "What happened?" Rose asked observing my gloomy facial expression. "Mr soccer boy and his side kick, pushed me and reminded me that my name to them was 'Sugar tits'. " I responded to her with a raspy voice. I wonder how could someone's friendship be so dynamic. Literally, one minute he's saying hi to me as I'm walking to school, then the next he's pushing me down hallways calling me sugar tits. It's so weird, because I like him so much, but I also just- my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a familiar voice. "Hey, I'm sorry about my friend. I think he pushed you too hard." I turned around and glared at him. I raised an eyebrow and responded with,"Pushed me too hard?That's all you're concerned about?" I could feel my palms getting sweaty and my heart beat rising. He looked into my eyes and I almost smiled at the view of them but then he cut it off with,"Meet me by the library. Then we can talk." He smirked. What the hell was that suppose to mean?!Either it could mean he is about to do something terrible to me, or he just really wants to talk to me about something in private. I felt my cheeks flush. Was he going to pull a move on me?All these thoughts raced to my head about everything that could happen. I was beginning to feel sick to my stomach. I felt like the whole world was coming down to me. I needed air. I felt my eyes sting and the thought came to me, "Sarah please don't have a panic attack". The thought of that made me think of how embarrassing it would be for that to happen especially in front of Calum. I quickly asked Mr.S to go to the bathroom. He replied with a tired voice,"Go ahead." I started hyperventilating and my eyes met Calum's. He had this concerned yet confused look on his face. My face was on fire at this point and I made my way quick to the bathroom. Why was this happening?He just wanted to talk. Simple. I think the memory of him throwing eggs at me triggered that. As I was walking back to class I turned the corner and slammed into this very attractive boy. I fell on my butt and he said,

"I'm so sorry love I didn't see you coming. Are you alright?"

"I'm fi-" Wow his green eyes were almost mesmerizing.

"I'm Ashton by the way. I'm kind of new here, so I guess not a great first impression I'm making by being late to my classes, and slamming into people."

"No it's alright." I said with a smile my feeling suddenly going away.

"Do you want me to take you to the office?You don't look very well."

"No, I'm sure I'm fine." He grinned at me.

"Well I should be getting to class, I'll see you around Ashton?"

"Definitely." He replies with a grin.
