Chapter 4-The Closet

Kat's P.O.V:

I waved goodbye at Calum and walked ththe long walk through the maze of hallways, going to my next class, Tech. I was practically the only girl in there due to stereotypes but I've been taking it for a while since I quit chorus and might I say I think I'm pretty damn good at it.

I sit down in my seat in the back corner of the large classroom after smiling at Mr. Walsh and take out my planner to write down the answer to the daily question on the board. I zone out the rest because he's teaching the guys about the basics of coding which I already know and he knows that.

I wonder what class Calum has right now.... Wait.. what am I thinking! I just met the guy!

I shake my head to clear my thoughts and try to think about something else, but lose my focus when a paper ball hits the back of my head. I ignore it, already knowing it's probably just a côcky boy trying to get my attention but I get frustrated after the next ten, littering the ground around my chair. I hear whoever the culprit of my new mood chuckle and he hits me with another, sending me over the edge as I turn around and give him the 'death glare' as my friends like to call it. He automatically shuts up and I smile smugly, turning back around to continue with my mental debate about anything and everything.

**********

The bell finally rings and I get all of my stuff together, throwing my books into my still slightly wet bag and walking out of the classroom. I walk to my locker and open it, putting my textbooks in and close it, only to hear the familiar sound of heels clicking on my direction. I turn around slowly, wondering if it's going to be Holly herself or one of her devil minions.

I turn around and relax the tiniest but when I see it's just a possy of her minions, hoping they don't have too much to say today. They surround me as usual to make sure I don't have any way to leave until they're done with me and start the torture I endure every day.

"You know it was so sad seeing you walk in here soaking wet like a lost little kitten, I almost took pity on you! Oh wait! Nevermind, I could never since you look like one of those ugly àss hairless cats with the grumpy face" Holly's main minion, Jennifer said, her 'possy' laughing along with her evilly. I just stayed silent, obviously, and held back a few tears that sprung at my eyes. But she didn't care, she kept going anyway instead of leaving when she saw my eyes turn glossy, she wanted to hurt me. She wanted to see me cry. Well unlucky for her, that's not going to be the case.

"And do you really think that hunk Calum is going to go for you?!? He's hot and athletic and your just ugly and pathetic and oh I don't know, mute!!" She starts laughing hysterically and so does the rest of her possy like she just said the funniest thing it the world. I took I'm a deep breath and calmed my emotions down, being able to completely hide my tears from them and leaving a blank look on my face.

But before she noticed, I got a glance at a girl in the back of the possy, she was the only one that wasn't laughing at me and gave me an apologetic look, almost as if she wanted to be on my side, but was scared to go against the bîtch, oops, I meant Jennifer.. or Holly.. either one works.

Before I could go deeper into thought about this Jennifer abruptly stopped laughing upon seeing the blank expression on my face, scowling when she thought it didn't affect me. The scowl was wiped off her face and on returned the côcky look that she always wears, as she smacks my bag out of my hands, my pathetic excuse of a lunch (a tiny pb&j with a small bottle of water), fell out. I sigh and crouch down, picking up my bag slowly and deciding to leave the squished sandwich, now lying sadly on the floor, soon to be squished by thousands of students when the bell rings. The bîtches walked away, laughing, their heels clicking against the cool tile of the halls as I stood up, taking a small sip from my water bottle and deciding to head to the lunch room so Luke, Michael, and Ashton don't worry too much about me.

I wonder if Calum would worry too...

I shook my head to clear my thoughts once again and headed for the lunchroom, but stopped in my tracks when I heard a loud thump coming from the janitors closet. I debated whether to go I'm or not cause I really don't want to see something I don't want to see, but made the stupid decision of going in anyway, my curiosity getting the better of me.

I turned the handle of the old wooden door and pushed it open. The light flooded into the dimly lit room and I saw something that really made me regret being curious. My face changed from confusion to hurt in a matter of seconds. I close the door quickly and walk away, getting faster and faster until I'm full out running away from the horrid closet. I hear someone calling my name behind me but ignore it, feeling tears on the verge of spilling and I don't even know why. I quickly wiped them away as I walked into the large lunchroom, making my way over to the same lunch table I've been sitting at every day for who knows how long.

"Hey Kat what took you so long to get here? We were all getting worried! And where's Calum?" Ash bombards me with questions and I just shrug and sit down, acting as if nothing happened but they all see right through my facade.

"Kat tell us what happ-" Luke starts and starts to pass me a notepad while Michael stares at me with his big doe eyes but they are cut off when Calum rushed into the lunchroom, seemingly out of breath. He walks up to the table and stares at me.

"Kat can I please explain?" He says, his dark brown puppy dog eyes, gazing into my own.

All the boys looked at me but I payed no attention to them as I couldn't bring myself to look away from his alluring eyes. So I did the only thing I could.

I nodded and got up.
