A/n: I kinda forgot about the whole school part of this story so I haven't written about them being at school in ages, but let's just pretend I have and that they've been at school regularly ok (well apart from Mikey and Arabella because they're always late and skip classes) ok , thanks. ily ✌️

Cal's POV

I arrived at school on time, but as usual, Michael, Ashton, Josie and Arabella weren't there yet.

But, Luke was.

I took a seat at the back of the class room, it'd kind of become my usual seat now; in between where Mike and Arabella always sat.

I look around the class room as students filed in, and in the corner of my eye, I kept catching glances of Luke. His eyes never left me.

He began to approach me, and let me tell you, he looked really pissed off.

I pretended not to notice, shifting my attention to something else, I took a book out of my bag and stared blankly at the pages, I pushed my glasses up the bridge of my nose, making it look as though I was greatly interested in this book.

Luke stood in front of me, towering over me as I was sitting down.

"Hood...I think we need to have a little chat, don't you?" He said in an intimidating tone.

"What?" I asked, nervously.

"I'm sorry, did I fucking stutter?

I said we need to have a chat!" He mocked.

"W-what about?" I stammered

"Well, That little fuck buddy of yours, Arabella- you know, the girl who was my bestfriend?" He said angrily.

"Uh, a-actually, we're not f-fuck buddies" I stuttered quietly. To which he scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Listen Cal, Bella and I have been bestfriends for years, she's like a little sister to me, and thanks to you we haven't spoken in weeks, so I'm going to need to you fix that, because if you don't, I'm going to knock you out. Ok?" He said.

"Ok" I confirmed.

"For fucks sake hood, this isn't the fault in our stars. Answer me properly. Ok?" He taunted.

"Y-yes Luke. Ok. I u-understand." I confirmed.

"Mr.Hemmings, take a seat please, rumpus time is over!" Our teachers voice boomed.

"Sorry sir, I was just having a nice conversation with Calum." He said sweetly.

Ash, Josie, Michael and of course, Arabella, sauntered into the class room, being only 2 minutes late, which for them is a huge improvement.

Arabella took her seat next to me, smiling at me as she did so. I forced a smile, trying to hide the fact that I was currently terrified because her ex-bestfriend was going to beat the shit out of me.

"Good morning Class. As you all know, we will be getting a new School Principal soon, and along with the new principal comes new rules, and sadly for you, a school uniform." He explained

"WHAT?!" She shouted.

"Is there a problem Miss Clifford?" Mr.Turner asked.

"Yes I have a fucking problem. I've been at this school for 3 years, and there's never even been a dress code, let alone a full uniform!" she stated proudly.

"Well I'm sorry Miss, but I can't change the rules just for you. You're going to have to deal with it.

Ok, so, the uniform will consist of

A plain white shirt

Black straight legged trousers, no jeans.

A Knee length Black skirt, cannot be flared, or pleated.

A black blazer with the school logo, that you will purchase from our school finance office.

And a red and black striped tie that you will also purchase from the finance office.

There is also an optional black jumper for the winter, but it can only be worn with your blazer over it.

You must wear enclosed black shoes, but no trainers " He read off from the list he held in front of him.

"THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!" Arabella interjected, making everyone laugh a little and nod their heads in agreement.

"Watch your language young lady." Mr.Turner warned.

"No! There's is no way in earth that I'm wearing a uniform that will make me look like a lesbian accountant or a fucking Nun.

I mean, a knee length skirt? Are you fucking kidding me? I just can't wear this, and I won't." she protested.

"I'm sorry Arabella, there's nothing I can do. If it was up to me, I'd keep things how they are, but the new principal has different ideas. I'm sure you'll find a way of making this uniform look remotely fashionable, you're a unique girl." He cooed, trying to calm her down.

"Are there any other ridiculous rules you need to inform us about?" She asked angrily.

"I'm afraid so. I have lists of the rules, it's called "the code of conduct", I'll hand out one to each of you." He explained.

I was giving mine and I skimmed down the page.

To be fair to the new principal, none of these seem unreasonable. I'm actually quite happy about the 'No phones in class rooms' rule. It will help me focus on actually learning something.

All of these rules seemed fine, until I reached the last one.

"22) No smoking on school premises"

'Fuck. Arabella is gonna be fuming.' I though to myself.

As if on cue, Michael and Arabella both shouted.

"No smoking on school premises?!"

"So not only do I have I wear a stupid fucking nuns outfit, I'm not aloud to smoke whilst I'm at school? This is ridiculous" she said, sulking.

"Wait, what counts as the school premises?" Michael asked.

"The school itself, the parking lot, the play ground, the field, the court yard, and any area within 300m of the school." Mr turner read from his new set of teaching commandments.

"Fuck this." Michael said, sulking like Arabella.

"This fucking sucks." Arabella said to me, pouting.

"I know baby, but it'll be fine ok? We've only got a year left at school, it'll I so quickly you won't even be bothered by these new rules" I assured her, taking her hand in mine and bring it to my lips, leaving a quick kiss.

"You know, I think I'm going to hate school a little less with you around. If it wasn't for you I would drop out of this god damn school. You're what I go to school for." she said smirking, making me smile.

She quickly kissed me, before adverting her gaze back to Mr.Turner, I however, had caught someone else's gaze; Luke. He shot me a death stare, before turning back to look at his work.

I love Arabella, but I've gotta sort things out with her and Luke before he fucking kills me.
