just for class [c.h]

nine ~ you couldn't do that to me

"Class, this week I want your photo's to be a little...different. It's got to be Christmas themed. I want you, to take a picture of your person as a Christmas figure." Miss.Benson giggled "It can be as stupid as you want. Who cares? It's Christmas!"

The class cheered around me. I laughed along, not too loud. I didn't want people to look at me and I didn't want to draw attention to myself. I can imagine Calum as one of Santa's little helpers - even though he's basically a giant.

I skipped out of class, smiling and realising this day was the happiest I had been since I found out I had been accepted to the Art exhibition. Of course, something had to end my smile. My body shook as I pushed up onto the lockers. A bunch of girls circling me and laughing at my rather dazed self. What were they doing? Where were the teachers? Jordie pushed through the crowd, smirking down at me.

"Let me say this one last time, Art Girl. Don't take my boyfriend as anymore than a friend. In fact, not even a friend. He's just a client. You got it?" Jordie hissed.

I nodded, holding my head. It really hurt and I'm sure it was bleeding. It began to hurt even more when I heard some shouting coming from the end of the hall.

"Jordie! What are you doing?!" Calum shouted.

"Teaching this bitch a lesson. I didn't think you'd care." She laughed, rubbing his arms.

"Of course I care. You shouldn't treat people like that." 

"Get over it Calum. It's not like you care for her."

"Oh shut up Jordie." Calum groaned, putting out his hand to let me grab it.

I did grab it. I wasn't going to give up a free help up. It's not as if anyone else would help me. But I was still dizzy and hazy. They made me hit the lockers really hard. Calum's arm wrapped around me as we walked up the corridors. I guess we were heading to the medical room. There was a knocking, a door opening and Calum pushed me lightly onto the bed.

"Where does it hurt honey?" The nurse asked.

I pointed to the back of my head, staring at Calum.

"It only looks like a minor cut but we're going to have to call an ambulance. How did this happen?"

Calum looked at me, I looked back. What did he want me to do?

"I tripped and fell into the lockers." I mumbled.

Calum seemed to be in shock. Did he want me to rat out his girlfriend? I don't want even more hate than usual. I didn't want to be even more hurt. She hurts me enough. Everyone hurts me enough.

"Well that was a silly thing to do. Is this your boyfriend?" She asked, giving Calum and suspicious look.

"What? N-" Calum stopped me.

"Yeah, I'm her boyfriend so if she needs to go to the hospital, I'll go with her."

"Great. Let me call them for you and you wait with her. And don't get it on in this room, ya hear?"

I laughed a little at her last comment. I didn't want to get it on with Calum. I wanted to go home and cuddle into my bed and just forget things for a while. Why would Calum say he's my boyfriend? It's like he wants me to be killed.

"You're not my boyfriend." I said, lying down.

"I want to be." Calum spoke.

"Just stop Calum. You have a girlfriend and I'm a mess. I don't want to make you a mess too."

"You couldn't do that to me."

"Oh trust me, I could."

"Look Alexa, I just want to make you happy and-"

"Calum, stop. My head hurts. We can do this another time."

"So, no major injury just take some of these tablets if your head begins to hurt." The nurse said, smiling at Calum and I and passing me some tablets.

I had been sent to the nearest hospital for a check-up with Calum and although my mum was called and wanted to be there, she couldn't leave work so I just stayed with Calum. School was over now and I had no idea what to do. All the homework that was meant for tomorrow didn't need to be done as I was advised to stay out of school for the next few days to let my head rest and I had no idea what to do with Calum.

"We should go and get your dress for that party you're taking me too." Calum smiled as we walked around the town.

"It's an exhibition and also, I don't want you to see my dress before the big day." I smiled back.

"It's not a wedding. Besides, I'll just wait and you can make a decision on the dress."

"Ok fine. Let's go here." I said, pointing to a cute little shop.

I tried on multiple dresses. None really made me feel special except for one. I didn't show that one to Calum. He could see me on the night. He offered to pay and I let him, I wasn't going to say no to a free dress. He smiled at me, he seemed so excited. I was excited, but he seemed really excited.

"Can we go home now?" I asked, sitting on a street bench.

"Yeah. I'm tired anyway. You've been running through my mind all day." He smirked.

I burst out laughing "That's so sad Cal."

"You liked it though."

"Yeah I did."

"Good."

I smiled at him and he smiled at me. Just friends Alexa. Just friends.
