Tossed

Chapter 3

Claire's POV

*Next morning*

"How's your senior year going honey?" says my mom as she pours some milk into a glass.

"Fine as usual" i say and take the last bite out of my toast.

She nods. "Any new friends?"

I take a minute to think. "Uh no" i say.

She nods and takes my plate.

I kiss my mom's cheek goodbye and head out the door.

..

I walk through the back door that is the entrance to the cafe.

Every morning we get about 25 minutes to hang out in the cafe before the bell rings.

I throw my bag under the table where Ash, Bri, and i usuallly sit.

I look around to look for Bri and Ash and see them run in from the entrance. They're running towards me.

Once they stop in front of me Bri slaps her hands onto my shoulders.

"what the hell guys?" i say in a joking way.

"You and fuckin Calum Hood?!" Ashley practically screams.

I quickly put my hand over her mouth. "No no no no. Where did you here this?" i ask.

Bri smirks. "Dude your eyes are so wide right now. You're so in denial" she says.

I furrow my eyebrows at her and turn back to Ash.

"Well?" i push her.

"Calum himself. He actually spoke to us!" she squeals.

He spoke to my friends?

"Uh what did he say to you guys?" i ask.

"He just asked how you're doing" Bri said smiling.

I furrowed my eyebrows.

I cross my arms. "Lets make this clear. Calum is nothing to me. We just spoke for a few hours last night"

"A few hours? Thats a pretty long time darling" Bri says raising her eyebrows.

"okay i'm done here" i say and raise my hands in a 'done-with-your-shit-' kind of gesture.

I grab my bag and walk to my locker.

I open my locker and throw my back pack in it.

I close my locker and lose my breath when Calum was standing behind my locker door again.

"Stop doing that!! Ugh asshole"

I ignore his presence when he laughs at me and i walk away from him.

I can't be talking to him in school..

I can hear his footsteps behind me.

He follows me all the way to my first period.

I act like hes not even there.

"Cuhhh-laireeee" he whines.

I sigh and whirl around to face him. He jumped from me turning so fast.

I move a closer to his face to the point where i can feel his breath and whisper "i thought i made it clear to you that-"

Luke and Ashton walk in and stop when they see us.

"oooohhh looks like Calum is gettin another whore to play with?!" yells Luke.

"Thats my boy" says Ashton and puts a hand over his heart to act like a proud parent.

This is so embarrassing. I can feel my cheeks heat up and my eyes water. He said he wasn't like that.

Calum looks back at me with a shocked look.

I run out of the classroom away from those assholes.

I sniffle and wipe a stray tear.

This is exactly what i wanted to avoid.

I'm still running but then someone pulls me back by my wrist and pulls me into a hug. I know its Calum so i try to push him off of me.

I beat at his chest but he doesn't budge. "Let go.." my voice cracks and i sound so pathetic.

He tightens his grip and it just makes me more eager.

The bell hasnt rung yet and the halls are still crowded.

"Calum let go" i look around and see people pointing and whispering to eachother.

"Calum people are looking at us. Please" i beg.

"I don't care" he says and rests his chin on my head.

I finally have the strength to push him off of me.

I am out of breath some how and i start speed walking back in the direction where we ran from.

I turn the corner and bump into someone. I look up to find Luke. He smirks. "Its Calums new whore!"

Im boiling and before i know it i punch his face as hard as i can and he falls to the ground.

He's looking up at me with a shocked look while holding his cheek.

"this bitch" he says quietly while he removes his hand and checks it to make sure he isnt bleeding.

I give him a worried look and hold out a hand to help him up. The last thing i need is for there to be another bad rumour on top of the one that already formed itself.

He slaps my hand out of the way and gets up himself.

He towers over me. He is like, what? 6'3?

I look up at him and he is staring down at me.

"Whats your name sweetie?" he says and bends down a little to get closer to my face.

I know he's taunting me.

He smirks when i dont say anything.

"Your last school year here will be a living hell from now on. No one ever touches me. Especially a girl" he threatens.

Theres the Luke from my freshman and sophomore year.

But this time.. I'm the target.
