Sweater Weather ~ Calum Hood

•4•Music Class•

-Calum-

It was Friday, and I was nervous as hell. Luke's idea was really good but I still had the thought that Ebony might not like it.

I walked to the bus stop that morning feeling sick to my stomach, I guessed Luke sensed my nerves because he spoke up after 2 minutes of arriving.

"Hey! You don't have to be nervous until tonight" He smiled, I nodded in agreement and waved at Michael as I saw him approach us.

...

At school out first lesson was music, which I was very thankful for. Our teacher was pretty cool and let us do mostly whatever we wanted as long as we were working on something music-related. The only time we really had to work that hard was for our end of year exam project which I guessed was coming up soon. Another reason that I loved music; it was the only class I wasn't getting kicked out of recently. 

"Sit down guys" Our music teacher Mr Stephen told us as more and more people started entering the classroom. Out of all the rooms of the school this one was definitely my favourite, I loved to come here to escape, i'd sit in one of the booths and play my guitar for ages just singing about anything.

Me, Michael and Luke took our seats near the left side of the room, our table consists of just the three of us.

This lesson we were told that Mr Stephen was pairing us into our groups for the exam project before the summer break. I hoped I would get put with Luke, considering both our last names started with H and we were next to each other on the register.

Just then, Ebony came walking into class 5 minutes late.

"Miss Saunders, care to explain why you are 5 minutes late to my lesson?" Mr Stephen was an awesome teacher, but if anyone showed up late to his lesson, he'd get pissy.

Ebony looked terrified, she trembled as she handed him a pink sticky note before sitting in her seat at the back of the class.

I gave Luke a confused glance as he shrugged his shoulders. In all the lessons I had with Ebony, she'd never been late to any of them, and so I knew something was up.

"Anyway, as I said, you will all be partnered up today. And no you are not choosing your own partners Michael, before you even start to give Luke the goo goo eyes" This caused me to burst out into laughter, while my two friends just glared at me in annoyance.

Mr Stephen started calling partners out, and Michael had just got placed with a guy called Blake, he seemed happy enough about it and so now I was just praying that me and Luke would end up together.

After he called a few more people's names out, I waited for my name to be called.

"Calum Hood and Luke Hemmings"

"Yes!" me and Luke said in unison.

I watched as everyone else got put into pairs. There were about 6 people left and I noticed that one of them was Ebony, she ended up being paired with one of the schools bitches; Alana. All of a sudden I felt very sorry for Ebony, and wanted to trade places with her so she wouldn't have to deal with the wrath of Alana.

-Ebony-

After being late to music class I got paired with a girl called Alana in music class for the exam project. Alana seemed nice enough and I noticed she was quite popular around the school.

"Hi" she approached me, sitting down on the other plastic blue seat to my right.

"Hey" I smiled shyly, and she placed her handbag on the floor below.
