Calum's POV

It's my first day at Stocksbridge High and so far I've had 3 conversations;
• Larry Steinberg from the AV club, told me he'd heard I had straight A's and was good with computers, and asked me to join the AV club, which I kindly declined.
• David Chiang, the most intelligent guy in school, requested me to join 'The Mathletes', to which I also refused.
•and Arabella Clifford, who offered for me to sit with her and her friends at lunch, which I actually accepted.

I'm not sure why she even bothered talking to me, she's popular and funny, and so so beautiful.

I was soon snapped out of my train of thought when I saw someone waving at me to come over to her, It was Arabella.

She was with 3 tall guys and 1 other girl. One of the boys had blue hair spiked up in different directions, he seemed to be deep into a conversation with a blonde boy, he had a constant smirk, and his hair was quiffed neatly. The other boy was curly haired and he had permanent dimples. He was whispering and giggling with the girl, who I assumed to be his girlfriend. She had long, dark brown hair and piercing blue eyes, she was stunning, but no where near as stunning as Arabella.

I walked over to them and gave a weak smile.

"Hey Calum" she said, grinning at me.

"uh, Hi" I said shyly.

"This is my brother- well my twin brother- Michael" she said pointing to the guy sat to her left, with the blue hair.

"These are my best friends; Ashton" she motioned towards the curly haired boy

"Luke" she nodded to the boy with the quiffed hair

"and Josie" she then pointed to the dark haired girl.

"and guys, this is Calum" she said, motioning towards me.

They all greeted me, telling me to take a seat.

We all sat around a table outside.
Arabella, Michael and Ashton each lit up a cigarette.

"can't you guys go 5 minutes without smoking, for fuck sake" luke said harshly.

"can't you go 5 minutes without pissing me off?" Ashton replied, smirking.

I felt a little uncomfortable around them, because they were popular. I felt like Collin in 'An abundance of Katerines' when he's with Lindsey's friends; out of place and discombobulated, because he didn't fit in. I didn't fit in.
I hoped that they like me, but it was highly unlikely.

"so Calum, when did you move to Sydney?" Josie asked.

"Just over a week ago, but today's my first day here." I explained nervously.

"why did you move?" Luke asked with a mouthful of food.

"His Dad got promoted and the job was here in Sydney" Arabella answered for me before I had time to reply.
I nodded in conformation.

We sat and talked for a little while longer and I started to become more comfortable around them.

The bell rang signalling that lunch was over and it was time for 3rd period.
3rd period was a 100 minute lesson of Music, which I was actually really looking forward to.

Arabella had informed me that we were currently in the process of 'Area of Study 1' in which we have to analyse and evaluate a combination of different pieces of music by a variety of composers.

Arabella's POV

I walked to room D14 (the Music room) with Ashton, Josie and Calum. Michael and Luke had English 3rd period.
I walked next to Calum, whilst Ashton and Josie followed closely behind, holding hands and oocasionally exchanging kisses.

"Do you play any instruments?" Calum asked me.

"Yeah, I play Guitar and Piano and I'm a classically trained singer" I told him.

"woah, that's pretty impressive" he said smiling

"do you play anything?" I asked.

"uh yeah, actually I play bass, piano and I sing." he told me, grinning widely.

"maybe we can duet together sometime" I said smirking.

He simply nodded in reply.

We entered our music room to be greeted by our teacher, Mr Keily.

"Clifford, Irwin, Hibble, oh and you must be the new student, Calum is it?" He said

"Yes sir." Calum replied nervously.

We took our seats at the back of the class room.

Calum's POV

The lesson went pretty quickly, I enjoyed it, Music really is one of my favourite subjects.

We exited the school and students flooded into the car park, finding their cars.

"Do you need a ride Cal?" Arabella asked whilst lighting up yet another cigarette. I smirked at the nickname she gave me.

"No thanks, My car's over there" I said, pointing toward my white Audi Q7 that was parked to my right.

"Your car's sick" Michael exclaimed, placing a cigarette in his mouth.

"um, thank you" I replied, smiling.

"I'll, um, see you tomorrow yeah?" Arabella asked hopefully

"yeah" I replied shyly.

"here" she said handing me a piece of paper from her back pocket, Her number was scribbled on it. "text me later ok?" she said.

"Ok." I said smiling.

I stared at her for a while, taking in her beauty. She's so beautiful. I've only known her for a day and I already feel a connection to her. No one has ever shown so much care for me, especially someone as beautiful as her.

As soon as I layed eyes on her I knew there was something special about her, because the feeling of seeing her for the first time was like the feeling of breaking the rules; rebellious and heart-stopping. A feeling that I wish to feel again and again, with her. She makes me feel somewhat free.
