I woke to the sound of my alarm clock going off. y ind immediately went to yesterday and my encounters with Calum. Shit. What had I done? I got ready as usual but I think the excitement of seeing Calum again caused me to get ready a little faster.

When I got to school Calum found me at my locker and we began to talk. Everyone started to stare at me and started whispering. "Well, if i wasn't a big enough of an outcast already things are either going to get a hell of a lot worse or I'm about to get really popular." I thought. I went through the day with many passing glances at Calum and I had begun to doodle hearts all over my papers in class. At soccer I worked even harder in order to be able to decimate Calum next time we played each other.

As the week went on Calum and I began talking more and more. Everything was going so well until Friday night as I was sitting in bed messing around on my guitar. Beth slammed my door open and started yelling at me, it took me a second to catch up with what she was saying and understand her. "We have all noticed it, Luc! And it's not okay! You cant just have the hottest guy in school!" "We're just friends, Beth! Go away!" I replied, but she didnt stop talking. "I mean, do you really thing it will last!? Soon enough he's going to stop leading you on and move on to someone more popular and normal! Ugh!.." She kept going on but I stopped listening. Maybe she was right, but I didn't care. I was meeting him in the park tomorrow, screw Beth, screw everyone else. I put in my headphones and started listening to this YouTube band. I didnt know anything about them, I hadn't even seen any of their videos. One of the girls on my team made a mixed CD of them and I made a copy. They're called 5 Seconds of Summer. I listened to them until I fell asleep.

The days went on and everyday, as soon as I got to school, I searched for Lucy. I noticed everyone staring but I didnt care. I spoke to her at every chance I could get. 

"What do you think you're doing!?" This random girl yelled at me as she and her freind cornered me at my locker. "What? Who are you?" I replied. "I'm Beth, Lucy's sister. I don't like how much you've been hanging out with her. No one does. She's weird, and you're hot. You can do much better." She contined. Then her friend started to talk too, "Besides, being the new guy, you can make anything out of yourself, you can be whoever you want to. And I dont really think you want the reputation that comes with hanging around Lucille the whole time." "Look, you don't know me and I don't know you. But I do know Lucy, and she is nothing like youre making her out to be. So why dont you just walk away and leave me alone." I said as I slammed my locker door and walked away.

I saw Lucy outside at lunch and I could tell something was wrong. I'm betting it has to do something with her sister. "Hey Lucille" I said as I walked up to her, emphasising the word Lucille. "What did you just call me? How did you know about that? I hate that name, why do you think I go by Lucy?" She said, slightly irritated and angered. "Your sister and I had a lovely conversation this morning" I said with a sarcastic tone. "Oh god, not you too. She talked to me last night. What did she say? Im gonna kill her"

We talked until the bell rang for our next classes. She told me what her sister had told her and I told her what she told me. Basically it was the same thing, to stay away from each other. We continued to talk a little after school until she came up with a plan that would make both Beth and Victoria incredibly pissed. But it will be hilarious, and slightly to my benefit as well. We went to her house, grabbed her credit card, and then went to the mall. Her plan would take action tomorrow.
