when calum walked in, the teacher sat him next to me. of fucking course.
my face turned red as calum came over and sat by me.
"hey! syerra, right?" he said with a smile that could brighten anyone's mood.
"yeah," i said shyly, "and you're calum?"
"yeah. so can you tell me what exactly this class is? i think i got put in here by default."
"film crit. we basically just watch movies all the time."
"sounds easy enough. wish they had classes like this back home. i'm starting to like it over here already. especially since the girls are hot.. like you," he said with a slight wink.
my face became a tomato within seconds. i just hope he didn't notice.
mrs. elliot put in a movie for the class to watch. calum slid down a little in his chair like most guys did. i sat with my arm on the desk, supporting my head.
throughout the movie, all i thought about was calum. he never left my mind, and the fact that he was sitting right next to me didn't help.

the final bell rang, and everyone was headed out of the building. i was walking to the parking lot, and met up with zach. we drive home together everyday.
one of the first things he asked me about, as we started driving, was calum.
"so, why were you being all weird around that new kid today?" he asked with a weird tone to his voice.
"what do you mean?" i knew what he meant, i just didn't know how to answer him. i've always had the slightest crush on zach, but he's my bestfriend and it'll never be more than that. i guess me kind of liking him makes me not want to talk about liking other guys. i mean, i've never talked to him about guys before because i've never really liked anyone besides zach. but there's just something about calum.
"you know what i mean," he said sternly.
"honestly, i don't know." i'm not sure if he believed me, but he dropped the subject after that.
the rest of the ride home was silent. usually we'll both go back to zach's house after school, but today he took me home. he said he had plans, but he usually told me about plans before hand. but that just gave me more time to do homework tonight. at zach's house, we're usually too busy playing xbox or just hanging out in the living room to do any homework.
when i got home, i went straight to my room to start on my homework. but once again, i found myself thinking about calum.
