Chapter Three

Rachel's POV

My face fell. I felt like burying into tears. Calum had a girlfriend.

Eugh. Typical cheerleader girl. Blonde, blue eyed, icky white smile. What was her name again? Layne?

I rushed out of the room, a small tear tricklin down my cheek

I walked in other bathroom, and made my way into a cubicle.

I buried my face into my hands as I heard somebody enter the toilets.

I gasped as I recognized the familiar voice.

It was Calum!

Wait- that must ran I was in the male toilets!! Fuck

He was on the phone.
"What? They still haven't given you anything to eat?"

I gasped. His mum- she was unwell.

"Yes, okay. Mum? Mum? Re you still there! Hello?"

He hung up.

I cautiously peeked out of the cubicle hole. He had sunk to the ground, sobbing.

I had a sudden urge to go over and comfort him.

"It's okay!"
His head shot up.
Wait, did I really just say that out loud?

"Who's there?"

My voice trembled as I answered.
"Um.. It's uh Rachel?"

"Rachel?"
