I'm Not Fine At All || Calum Hood

Homework?!

I followed Jaiden down the hallway an into a large classroom. It was quite busy as people were hugging each other and catching up.

Once again, I followed Jaiden towards the back of the classroom where she took a seat. I took the seat next to her and we started talking.

After about a minute, Calum walked in too. I couldn't hold my curiosity in any longer.

"Who's that boy that just walked in?" I asked Jaiden.

"Who him? Oh that's Calum Hood. He's not popular or anything but he's SUPER hot. Oh and he's in a band" Jaiden replied, obviously taking interest in the subject.

I on the other hand was getting hyped on the fact that he was in a band " He's in a band?? What instrument does he play?" I asked

" I think it's bass. But he's also an amazing guitar player. Him and his band played for the school talent show last year. They weren't half bad." Said Jaiden

"Wow. My all time favourite instrument is guitar." I said, getting excited

"You can play?? Wow I didn't even know you could play an instrument"

"I play more than just guitar" I said, but I was desperate for Jaiden to drop the subject because I didn't want to tell anyone about this stuff. I mean after playing guitar for so long you'd at least think I was good, but I'm not.

To be honest I don't think I'm good at any of the instruments I play.

"So what even brought up the topic of Calum?" Jaiden said, interrupting my thoughts.

"Um well he was staring at me in form" I said, feeling my cheeks go warm.

"Oh my god what?! Aww you're blushing" said Jaiden, obviously getting excited for me.

"I bet it's no big deal. It was probably because I'm new, I mean who would like me?" I said, trying to change the subject.

"Yeah right. I mean we barely just met but I gotta say, you already feel like my best friend. Who wouldn't like you?" Jaiden said, smiling.

I smiled back. I had a feeling inside me that meant Jaiden would be my best friend. I didn't have a best friend in England, I had a group of really close friends but no one that I could share all my secrets with.

I was once again snapped out of my thoughts when the teacher walked in.

"Good morning class, I hope you've all had a good holiday" Said the teacher. She was a woman with short black hair and a little on the chubby side.

Everyone sat down in their seats, awaiting the teachers instructions.

"The first thing I'm going to do today is set your homework" Said the teacher, and everyone groaned.

"You'll have this whole lesson to make a start on your homework" She said.

Homework on the first day?

"Ok so we will be continuing the same topic you were doing from last year, and so to ensure you revive your knowledge on it, I want you to produce a project about what you've already learnt. You will be allowed to make this in any form so like a video, PowerPoint etcetera."

She paused as she waited for everyone to note this down in their planners. But I wasn't here last year, so I don't know what we learnt, and if Ive learnt it or not. I looked worryingly at Jaiden and she looked at me.

"World War 1" She whispered. I smiled back, because that's the last thing I learned too.

"You will be doing this project in pairs" and at that everyone celebrated.
