The boy next door (Calum Hood fic)

Chapter 7

My face had this depressed, and heart broken look to it, like I didn't care anymore which all statements are true. The boy that you knew you connected so well with in your life said that the fantasy like moment you had was nothing. My heart felt so empty like an enormous part of it was taken and smashed into a billion pieces of nothing. I felt the urge to throw up because my stomach wasn't agreeing with the reality that was happening to me.

I take my seat by the window in class and I knew Calum sat behind me in this period, and it didn't help that I could feel his eyes burning into the back of my neck. How could he just sit there, looking at a girl who's about to lose her mind after the person she used to know as her best friend stepped on her heart, letting all the pieces he broke fill me up with the feeling that I wasn't good enough.

In front of me sat Ashton and Rose. I was glad to know there were still humane people walking this Earth. Ashton turned around and his hair flip with him. He looked at me and frowned ,"You look a bit sad Sarah. You alright?"

"A bit..."

"Well I know what could just cheer you up. Me and my lads are hanging out today. Do you wanna come?" I really didn't feel like going because of the current state I was in. But Ash was such a sweet guy, and he always manages to put a smile on my face.

I smiled and said,"Sure, sounds like a plan." He gave me this cheeky grin, and his dimples soaring inside his cheeks. I couldn't help but smile, he reminded me a lot of how Calum was back then when we had this inseparable bond. I could almost feel Calum burning with jealousy behind me. Why would he have to be jealous, he doesn't like me anyways.

"Sarah and Ashton meet me after class for detention. Now stop talking. " Mr. S said strictly. Me and Ashton broke out in giggles which made him even more mad.

"Alright, let me add 10 more minutes to that detention. " Ashton and I stayed quiet for the rest of the period.

At detention, Mr. S had us do nothing and just sit there and be silent. But the silence was killing me I just wanted to talk to Ashton. I got this weird nervous feeling in my stomach, like I do when I'm in the same room as Calum. But it wasn't bad, because Ashton was kind to me which made me feel more comfortable around him like I wish I did with Calum.
