Tuesday, September 31st, 2014 - Today me and Michael didn't talk (or write) at all. He didn't hang out with Luke, Ashton and I either. I watched him hang off of Jace like he was some sort of celebrity and Michael was his number one fangirl. I hate Jace.

Wednesday, October 1st, 2014 - Michael didn't talk to us again today. Ashton said he asked him for a pencil in Geography, but that's all. I really miss Michael; his laugh, his smile, the sound of his voice. I especially miss his hugs. His hugs are always the best. I hope he comes to my soccer game on Friday.

Friday, October 3rd, 2014 - It was my soccer game today. Michael didn't come, Ashton said he was with Jace. I broke my left arm because a guy from the other team body checked me to the ground and I landed on it funny. He came to the hospital and apologized. I wished Michael would come to the hospital and apologize for not being there, but he never did. My coach says I can't play soccer until my arm heals. My mum came and drove me home. Me and Mali Koa watched Halloween movies because she said it would make me feel better. It didn't.

Monday, October 6th, 2014 - Michael and I passed in the hallway this morning. I smiled at him and he just looked away and nudged Jace so they would start walking faster. I felt the weird sensation to vomit out my heart that was beating faster than it ever has before. Is that normal?

Monday, October 13th, 2014 - Today when I passed Michael, Jace and their group of friends, Jace called me a 'mute freak'. I looked at Michael, but he just laughed at me. Later on, I had the secretary call my mum to come pick me up from school because I felt sick. I went home and cried while my mum thought I was sleeping.

Thursday, October 16th, 2014 - I went up to my soccer coach today. He said I had my cast on and I couldn't play. I wrote to him that I knew I couldn't; that I was coming because I was quitting the team. He seemed shocked and asked if I was sure. I dropped my jersey in front of him and left, then I walked all the way home.

"Calum, sweetie, you feel fine; you aren't warm at all. Are you sure you feel sick?" Joy, Calum's mother, asked, drawing her hand away from Calum's forehead.

Calum nodded quickly, sinking down further into his bed. He'd been avoiding school since Thursday; it was Wednesday. He told his mum he was sick and she'd been buying it, up until today.

Joy sighed. "You're missing so much school, Calum. I don't want you to fail." She worried, setting both her hands in her lap and sadly looking at Calum.

He tried rolling his eyes as subtly as possible and just closed his eyes, hoping his mum would get the idea and leave his room. He wanted to be left alone. He didn't want to listen to his mum continue to talk about how he should go to school.

Eventually, Calum heard the door shut and he opened his eyes to make sure his mother had left. When he'd confirmed she was gone, he got up and rushed to the window across from his bed. Thus, his morning routine of watching Michael leave to go to school with Jace begun.

He didn't know why he did it; it just made his stomach hurt even worse. Michael always looked so happy when he climbed into Jace's car. Jace would open the door for him and kiss his cheek gently before Michael hopped in.

It made Calum's stomach boil with anger. It was like there was a pot of water sat on a stove that was on way too hot and there was water spitting everywhere. In Calum's case, the spitting water was the bile rising in his throat.

His hands subconsciously clenched into fists. He wondered how much Michael would swoon over Jace if Jace had a large bruise hiding half of his face. Realization dawned on him; he wasn't on the soccer team anymore. He had nothing to loose. He could beat up Jace if he wanted to.

He had to wait until his cast was taken off, of course. But the thought of this gave him so much motivation that he actually smiled for the first time in seventeen days. This was going to be absolutely amazing.

Or so Calum thought.
