*Luke's POV

School was just like I remembered it, the hallways was crowded, the lockers lined up against the walls still had that same red color. Nothing had really changed. Besides just about everything.

As I elbowed my way to my first class, which was biology with Mr. Thompson, can't wait, I thought about last year. It was hard not to.

I wasn't one the most popular students here, but I was well known for being kind. I had a few close friends, who I had known for years. Actually only two. I used to count Calum as one even when we were together, but now I doubt he ever wants to talk to me again. But he will have to at some point, since we have the same friends. That would be my plan a, try to talk to him when Michael and Ashton were there. And if that didn't work, well. I probably had to lock him up in some closet and try to talk some sense into the lad. I will call that plan b.

My eyes searched through the crowd, hoping for the one person I wanted to talk with was somewhere in this chaos.

Suddenly I felt the sharp angle of an elbow and let out a huff of air. That hurt. Instead of looking over to see who had shoved me in my ribs I just kept on walking with my eyes fixated on one of the doors far away in the hallway. School is all about surviving, and I wouldn't survive for long if I stopped to pick a fight with whomever that elbowed me and I guess that person did it on purpose.

The alarming notice of the bell sounded in the overcrowded hallway and the students quickly slipped into the classrooms and suddenly, I was the only one left in it. Well, almost.

There he was, standing further down the hall looking just as lost as I did. My heart started thumping and I bit down on my lip in both excitement and fear. What was he gonna do when he saw me? Run and hide without even giving me a glance? It was he going to look me in the eyes and walk towards me?

Yeah, probably to punch me in my face.

I did deserve it after all and Cal was a strong lad. He could take me anywhere, anytime. In a fight, I mean... You dirty little boy.

Suddenly Calum turned around, and I swear I felt my heart stop. He stared at me with wide eyes, looking at me like I killed a puppy. That stung, I'll tell you.

It felt like we were watching each other for hours, but in real life it must have been seconds before he bit his lip like I knew he did when he was about to cry. And knowing that I was the cause of that action killed me inside.

But then his expression hardened and he turned away, storming down the hall to a door before forcefully slamming it open. Well that went well.

I took a closer look at the door and saw the letters; B2. As in biology two, the class that I were supposed to go to now. We had one class together. That's always something, right?

I shouldn't stand here in the hall when I really should be in class, should I?

I shaked my head and rushed towards the door, and opened it like a civilized human being and stepped in. Everybody snapped their heads to look at me, mr. Thompson raising his eyebrows, as if he were surprised to see me.

"Ah, Hemmings. How nice of you to join us, finally" he muttered the last word before checking my name of on his list.

"Well don't just stand there, take a seat. How about... Next to Calum. Since how you two always behave in my class".

I never liked him, but right now I could give him a hug. Or maybe not, judging on the look on Calum's face. He didn't look happy, more like terrified. However I nodded and walked over to my seat, that I suspected was where I would sit for the rest of the term. I didn't know how I felt about that but I wasn't going to complain about it.

The teacher then began to lecture us about whatever but I didn't listen to one word he said. I was to busy staring at Calum, observing him. He had changed. There was tattoos covering his arms, one of an Indian and another of a horseshoe. Don't ask me why because they made no sense to me. But they did to Calum so I made a mental note to myself to ask what they meant later. When he was talking to me. But there's was one more, the only one of them that I did understand. The word Malikoa written in black ink on his forearm must have certain meaning to him, since it was the name of his sister. Personally I would never let a stranger tattoo one of my brothers name on my body, mostly because it's permanent and also why would I want to? Sorry Jack, I would do many things for you but tattooing your name in permanent ink on my body isn't one of them.

But Calum's name? I would do that. But only on a place my mum couldn't see it, if she did she would kill me.

I hadn't realized that mr. Thompson had demised the class until I heard the sound of chairs scraping against the floor and I was lightly shoved by students walking towards the door. My eyes flickered to Calum, who quickly stood up as if the chair was of fire. I suppose he didn't want to be near me longer than necessary. Ouch.

I didn't know why but I jumped up out of my seat as well to run after him. As we both elbowed our way through the sea of students I started to lose sight of him. He was fast, faster than I could remember. He certainly wasn't the cuddly, lazy and happy lad I had known my whole life anymore. But I wasn't going to give up.

So I pushed harder and I heard loud protests from the people I pushed aside. I reached out my hand to grab Cals arm and pulled him towards me. He looked at me for one second before his face scrunched up in what I could only guess was disgust. Ouch.

We looked each other in the eyes and the whole world around us seemed to just freeze, like nothing moved- or mattered- but the two of us. I didn't know what to say, because this was how far I had planned. His warm brown eyes hardened and suddenly looked angry. The way his jaw kept clenching and how he balled up his fists both turned me on and scared me. Was he about to faint or have one of his infamous drama queen-moment? Which practically is Calum going mad over the tiniest things, like when his hamburger are served with salad at the side but he told them not to put the green leaves on his plate. As I said, the tiniest things could become the biggest things I'm a matter of seconds.

"Cal just let me explain" I nervously rushed, afraid that he would just run away without listening to what I had to say.

But instead of calming him down my words had the exact opposite. He instead seemed to get angry and tried to pull his arm out of my firm grip, but failed due to how hard my finger were clenched around his arm.

"Let you explain?" He sneered angrily, giving me a dirty look.

"What is there to explain? Nothing! I want nothing to do with you, can't you see? I should never trusted you in the first place, you liar. That way all of this wouldn't have happened and I would never had met you!"

The bell suddenly went of, and it was like the world around me was moving and it was my turn to stand frozen. The words he had spoke hurt so badly, they were filled with so much hatred. Like he meant all of what he said. But deep down I knew he did, I just didn't want to accept it.

With one last look of disgust Calum turned around and rushed down the hallway, disappearing around a corner. And here I was left standing like a fool.

And I thought there was hope. How silly of me to think that I stood a chance after what I did.

Oh glorious day. And yet it had only began.

[A/N]
Early update!

So this is chapter 3, as unedited as it ever can be. So please be patient while I edit som typos and such silly mistakes. Which by the way I only do because right now I'm writing this very a/n on my phone, so autocorrect seems to enjoy bully me and my lacking knowledge of how to spell things the 'right way'. But I'm happy to tell you all who's reading this that I'm having a blast in London and I'm just really happy right now. I'm ranting now I'm sorry but however I hope you enjoy this story and if you do I'm happy to tell you I got some interesting drama coming your way.
