"Now, where were we? Tell me if I can beat him up already, Al" Calum muttered through gritted teeth while he glared at the broad figure of Carter West. I didn't even find him attractive anymore, he disgusts and only disgusts me.
"Calm yourself down, Cal" I sighed moving from my seat to beside him. We were in the cafeteria, eating our lunch when Carter's group came in. I rubbed circles behind him, trying to lessen the tension like what he did to me yesterday. When I was crying over the guy who disgusts me so much. His breath went calmer as his eyes soften at me, "there's one of you and shit loads of them. I don't want you getting hurt because of me"
"And I don't want to see my favorite girl hurting because of that ass" he said harshly. I felt the butterflies erupting in my stomach due to the fact that he called me his 'favorite girl' but I shrugged it off.
"Calum, I'm fine now. I got over it, I'm done with him. I don't even care anymore" I sighed trying to convince him I was done with all Carter's bullshit.
"You sure?" He asked arching an eyebrow at me. I nodded, "I just don't want to see my best friend crying over that ass, he's an ass." He said while he puts a hand on my thigh and gave it a gentle squeeze. I pecked his cheek not caring if people would see us. It was a friendly peck. Not anything with meaning at all, he grimaced at me and mumbled an "ew" but looked at me and laughed, "you know I was kidding right? You could do it again"
Just when I was about to answer, a voice cut me, "I see you found another fuck buddy, babe"
"Go away, Carter" I snapped. Not even bothering to look up because that'd just bring me to my emotional state again. I felt Calum tense up so I laced my fingers with his, calming him down. I didn't want him fighting nor snap at them because it wasn't worth it at all.
"What? Now you're asking me to go away. After what we've done?" He smirked, his friends chorusing an 'o', "you know I don't actually get why you hang around with, Hood over there. He doesn't give fucks as good as I do"
"Okay, I've had enough. Alesia, let me rip his head off" Calum hissed, his grip on my hands tightened as if he wanted me to stop him. To be honest, I didn't want to. I really did want him to beat the shit out of Carter. But I didn't want him getting himself into this trouble just because of his stupid best friend.
"What? Can't fight, Hood? Oh, come on. You can fuck Al but not fight? What a little coward" we started gaining attention from other students in the room and getting audience. I shook my head and stood up dragging Calum with me while we ran out of the cafeteria. "That's right run!" was the last thing I heard but I didn't fucking care.
I left Calum standing outside the hallway while I ran into the bathroom, tears in my eyes as I stared down at my reflection in the mirror, "fuck you! You're so stupid! Now you've got your best friend involved! What if he gets hurt? That's right, blame it on you, you stupid fuck!" I hissed, sobbing while I scowled at myself. A hand tapped my shoulder, expecting that Calum had followed me inside but it wasn't. It was a girl about my age.
"Hey, I know Carter's an ass. I've seen everything" She rolled her eyes and handed tissues to me while she rubbed circles behind my back, "Usually, I don't tell people to stop crying because that'd be like telling your blood to stop flowing out of your body when you've just stabbed yourself but I think you really should stop crying. You know why? Because he's not worth it. He's a huge, weak dick" she scoffed.
"Thank you" I said while I sniffed. I tried wiping my tears away and calming myself down.
"I'm Paige by the way" she introduced herself, giving me a hand to shake.
"Alesia" I mumbled, shaking her hand without much force, to be honest. I felt so numb and weak.
"I know that silly," she chuckled, "we share like all the classes together but i guess you've never noticed me before"
"Oh, I'm sorry" I choked out, she gave me a reassuring smile and told me it was fine.
"Hey, cheer up. Kay? Everything will be fine. Talk to me if you need anyone but I doubt, you've got a good boyfriend on your side." She smiled.
"W-what boyfriend?" I choked on my own saliva. I shook my head and furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.
"Calum Hood"
"What? He's my best friend. Not anything like that" I shrugged, clearing things out with her.
"Oh, well he's being a great best friend to you, I can tell"
"How?"
"I was actually supposed to check on myself when he asked a favor and told me to check on you" she explained before walking out the door and waving me a small goodbye.
