Victoria's P.O.V

I wake up the next morning to my alarm buzzing in my ear. I flip over in bed, not wanting to get up at 5 in the morning. My phone alarm continues to ring throughout my room. Eventually I grab my phone and swipe the screen to turn off the alarm that every teenager hates.

I push myself off my bed and walk over to my vanity. I look a complete mess. My hair is all over the place, with knots all through it. Black makeup is smeared under my eyes, only making my dark eye circles even darker. My lips look slightly chapped and I some how managed to get one sleeve of my shirt off my body while sleeping.

This is what happens when you only get 3 hours of sleep.

I couldn't sleep at all last night knowing Calum was mad at me, but it was my fault for not trying to talk to him. When he's mad, he always says things he'll regret, or things he doesn't mean. I decided to give him his time, but I need to talk to him before school starts. I look out my window, focusing my eyes on the opened window leading to his living room. I see him sit up from the couch and stretch his arms, as his mouth opens in a wide yawn.

I sigh and quickly brush my hair, making it look slightly better than before. I lightly wipe the black makeup from around my eyes and fix my shirt.

Looking at the clock, it's only 5:10. I have time to talk to him and still get ready for school. I pull my door open and run down the stairs, finding my black slippers at the bottom and sliding them on.

Walking across the street to Calum's, I realize I have no idea what I'm going to say to him. Is he even ready to forgive me? Am I talking too him too soon? The questions floating through  my mind continue, even when I reach my hand to knock on the door. I quietly stand there, part of me hoping he opens the door and part of me hoping he doesn't. I stay there for a few more minutes, then come to conclusion he isn't going to answer. Right as I turn to leave, the front door opens and I freeze in my spot.

"Victoria?" Calum's sleepy voice makes my heart flutter. I still haven't turned around to look at him. I hear him open the door a little farther, and his hand grabs mine and pulls me into his house. I avoid eye contact with him and walk over to his couch, taking a seat on the far corner before feeling him sit down next to me.

"Listen Victoria, we need to talk." My stomach drops and I'm instantly prepared for what's about to happen. I turn my head to look at him and sigh.

"I understand, I'll leave." Calum gives me a confused look and grabs my hand, not letting go even when I stand.

"What do you mean?" He asks, confusion clear in his tone.

"You're breaking up with me because of yesterday, I get it, I did something really rude. I understand. Just let me go home please." I turn my head so he doesn't see the tears in my eyes and try to pull my hand away.

"What?! No! I wanted to talk about what happened yesterday! I overreacted a bit, I wanted to apologize."

A loud sigh of relief comes from my mouth and I instantly turn around, jumping up and wrapping my arms around his neck. He connects our lips and all the worry from before instantly washes away. It had been less than 24 hours and I felt so incomplete without him.

I pull away from him, resting both my palms on his cheeks.

"I'm sorry for yesterday, Calum." I whisper.

"Shh, it's okay. Go get dressed for school, I'll pick you up at 6."

As Calum and I approached the school, I grew more and more nervous. I could tell Calum was ready for everyone to know about us. He held my hand tightly and laughed when he felt my hand begin to shake.

"Babe, calm down. You're not gonna be the most hated girl, everyone is just gonna be jealous."

"I hope you're aware of how extremely cocky that makes you sound." My lips went into a faint smile and he laughed.

"If that means my dick is huge then yes, I'm cocky."

"Calum that was the worst joke you've ever said jump out of the car right now. Do you seriously not know what cocky means?" I taunt him and he fakes an angry expression.

"Of course I do you asshole."

Calum pulled his car into a parking spot and turned the engine off. I sighed deeply and Calum took my hand in his.

"It's gonna be okay." He whispered.

We both hopped out of the car and Calum locked it. He met me on my side of the car and grabbed my hand, leading us both towards the school doors.

Calum's P.O.V

I knew Tori was nervous just by her facial expression. I held on tightly to her hand, just to let her know I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. We both walked through the doors, our hands still held tightly in each others and her eyes locked in front of her.

Everyone, and I really mean everyone, was staring. People started whispering things like, "them?" "what the hell?" "why is he with her?".

Tori's hand squeezed mine a little tighter and I knew she was silently freaking out. She looked up at me and I leaned my head down to lightly place a kiss on her forehead. I watched as she slowly seemed more calm and stopped squeezing my hand so damn tight.

More stares were on us as we made our way to our lockers. Everyone knows now, everyone knows Tori and I are together. I was extremely excited for everyone to find out, and honestly I'm not sure why. I just knew I was ready for everyone to know, Tori on the other hand, she wasn't all too excited.

She let go of my hand to open her locker as I stood beside her, watching her while everyone else watched us. She pulled open her locker and threw her backpack to the bottom. I watched as she grabbed a few pencils from this lame magnetic rack she had on the door and her binder from the small top shelf that every locker has.

Her long, brown wavy hair framed her face perfectly. Her red, white and black flannel was lightly placed over a black tank top and she wore dark jean skinny jeans with black hy-top converse.

I was knocked out of my thoughts when she slammed her locker door and grabbed my hand again, leading us both to her class.

I have no idea how I got so lucky, how I was the guy who would end up with such a sweet, loving, beautiful girl.

And that's when I knew, I was excited for everyone to know about us, because I was excited everyone would know the most perfect girl in the world is mine.
