There was never a feeling better than waking up in the morning, a smile slowly creeping it's way onto your lips as you know the day was going to be worth it.

I instantly jumped out of bed, a little too eager and excited for school, packing my bag and throwing on my clothes, ready for the day to begin.

"Excited, are we?" Mom asks me as I bolt downstairs.

"Yeah.." I mumble, trying to make it less obvious than it already is.

"Why?"

"No reason." I smile at her as she gives me an unconvinced look but goes with it either way.

-------

I stand by my locker, putting away any unnecessary books that I don't need for the next three periods as I suddenly feel two hands press against my sides and quickly let go, making me wiggle and jump from it.

"That tickles!" I exclaim, turning around and expecting it to be Simon, when, to my surprise, it's Josh.

"Hiya," he smiles at me. I try and smile back, not allowing my frown to ruin it all, but Josh gives me a glance of uncertainty. "You a'right?"

"Yeah, I'm..I'm good." I smile even wider. "Don't worry about it."

He doesn't seem sure of my answer.

"Told you I'm fine," starting to get irritated with how non-gullible he is, I clench my teeth and shut the locker door, making my way towards the door which leads to the stairs and rows of still empty classrooms.

"Right then," I hear him mumble under his breath and follow close behind.

Once we finally get to our form room, I spot Kay and Vik tucked away in a corner, chatting with each other, Tobi leaning onto a wall and scrolling on his phone, Harry sat reading a book, and a group of three very familiar faces. 

My face instantly lights up like a Christmas tree as I spot Simon looking around the hall, waiting for his eyes to fall on me. Once they do, I smile up at him and nod, remembering the events from the evening before. His friends notice what I'm doing and elbow him on the side as he laughs at them and his blank expression turns into a scowl as he shoots me a glare and turns around to continue talking to his friends.

My face drops and palms begin to sweat as I think of reasons for him doing so.

He's popular and I'm not. He just doesn't want to loose popularity because of me. That's okay, I guess..

Coming to terms with my reasoning, I hand my head and bite the inside of my lip, not even trying to hide the fact that his actions did sting.

-------

I drop my things and take out all the necessary books, my pencil case and a water bottle, which I stack neatly at the edge of my desk, my OCD clearly visible. 

Kay, who was sat right next to me, doesn't know a single thing as to what happened yesterday and enither did Tobi or Vik, and I was planning to keep it that way.

I saw Simon stroll into the room like he owns the place. It was as if he was waiting for a crown to be placed among his head. I mentally roll my eyes at the thought and lean my chin onto my hand and look the other way, when I see a hand send my pile or books flying down to the ground, causing a loud sound to errupt in the deadly silent History classroom.

I look around to see every single pair of eyes look in my direction and pay all their attention onto me, something I wan't used to much.

The person who's done this was snickering in the background. I look behind me and spot Simon, his hand covering his mouth to spot himself from laugh and Ethan smiling with JJ holding onto his stomach.

"It's not that funny, boys," a boy tells them off, the same person that I saw sitting with them in the lunch room somewhere in the past.

"Oh, it is, Callum. If only you knew the things..the things I do." Simon says between laughs.

The dark haired boy turns back in his seat, whispering something over to the girl beside him. Probably his girlfriend.

"Right guys, back to your seats," Sir comments and gets Simon, Ethan, and JJ to sit somewhere in the back. 

If only they all knew the things I know about him..
