Save you // calum hood

I survived the first day here, but that's probably because I haven't had any classes yet and I only met Hannah and Kaitlyn. I really don't understand why I was so scared to move here. I mean my roommates are so nice and funny. This is their third year here and they told me everything I need to know. They also told me this isn't really a strict school and you can basically do whatever you want. We're allowed to leave campus after classes, but we have to be back by 10pm.

"So have you met any cute boys already since you've been here?" Kaitlyn asks me and sits down on my bed. 

"Not really. But some guy with green hair ran into me when I got here." I tell them. 

"That can only be one person." says Hannah. 

Her and Kaitlyn look at each other. Why are they looking at each other? 

"Michael Clifford." they both say in common. 

"So you know him?" I ask. 

Hannah starts laughing. 

"Of course we do. He's one of the popular crowd."

Oh boy. So one of the popular boys ran into me? Nice way to meet him. Note to sarcasm. Well it was his fault, not mine and apparently Hannah and Kaitlyn are friends with him which means they're probably popular as well. I've never been popular. I've always been that shy and quiet girl in the back of the class room. I had always my head down in the hallway. People didn't know who I was until that one day that changed everything.

It's 7:30 in the morning and Kaitlyn and Hannah are still sleeping. I've already taken a shower and I'm just sitting here in our room, waiting for them to wake up. I check my phone to see if anyone has texted me. Who am I kidding? No one probably misses me, but apparently I was wrong, because Emily, my best friend, has texted me a bunch of times. I can better call her before she freaks out even more.

I take my bag and leave the room. I'm going to get some breakfast. There are already a lot of people outside. Looks like no one wants to be late for class. It's already 8AM when it's my turn to buy food. This line is way too long. When I have my food, I walk back outside to look for a quiet place to eat. I find a bench and sit down. Emily doesn't have a first period today so I decided to call her.

"Hi Em." I say as soon as she picks up. 

"Stefy! I thought you had died, because please tell me it's so horrible there that you want to come back like today." she says so fast that I can't even understand what she's saying. 

I laugh out loud and shake my head aware that she can't see me. 

"Em, calm down! It's actually really cool here." I tell her. 

I hear her sigh. 

"I already miss you." 

"I miss you too Em. You should come visit me sometime." I say. 

"That's a promise." 

I hear her laugh. We talk for a bit before I end the phone call and go back to eating.

I look around and almost choke on my breakfast when I notice someone with green hair. That must be Michael. There are three other boys walkig next to him. Probably his best friends or his follow buddies. That's also a possibility. They're laughing and coming right towards me. Fuck. Just pretend you didn't see them and they won't notice you. That actually doesn't make any sense, but whatever.

They walk past me and I sigh in relief just when Michael stops walking. He turns around and looks at me. 

"Aren't you that new girl I ran into yesterday?"
