Just a Reject || c.h.

" Don't say you love me unless you really mean it,

because I might do something crazy like believe it."

A loud sigh escaped my lips I struggled to keep my eyes awake as I worked on my school project.

"So much to do..." I muttered, beginning to feel exhausted from all the work. "I need more fun in my life..."

I glanced at the clock, it's bright numbers stating that it was 11:11 pm.

"Lucky 11:11..." I spoke to myself as I closed my eyes, ready to make a wish.

I wish I had more fun in my life... That I didn't have to live the same routine over and over everyday of my life. I wish I knew HOW to have fun....

I breathed deeply as I opened my eyes once again, finding it silly that I had wished on something as ridiculous as a time... I resumed working on my project, yawning exhaustedly.

My french101 textbook felt awkward in my arms as I walked through the empty school hall, an hour late for class. My footsteps echoed throughout the hall with each step i took, my converse shoes annoyingly squeaky.

The hallway seemed to stretch on forever, taunting me as I commanded my legs to walk faster and faster, worried I'd be caught by a teacher.

"Wow, that's a first... Ava being late." A voice said from behind.

I jumped up in surprise and turned around, causing my textbook to fall on the floor with a loud thud.

The voice who had spoken moments before was... Calum Hood. A troublemaking charmer, who was seemingly a bad boy.

He looked at me curiously and began to approach me as I stood frozen, unsure if I should move.

"Ermmm..." I quietly muttered awkwardly, trailing off as I bent down to pick up my book.

"Why do you even go to french class?" He asked suddenly as he watched me.

"So I can learn, maybe?" I replied back, slightly sarcastic.

"Are you fluent in French?"

I nodded, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Then what's 'hola como estas'?" I wasn't sure if he was joking...

"Ummm I'm pretty sure that's spanish..." I replied, trying to keep a straight face.

"I know.. I get nervous around pretty girls..." He replied, slightly chuckling, as he ran a hand through his dark hair.

"I'd better go to class..." I quickly responded, turning around as I tried to hide the goofy smile on my face.

My face felt hot as I briskly walked towards my class, not wanting Calum to see my pink cheeks. I glanced back, to see him watching me walk, a playful look in his eyes.

"Ava!" My best friend, Aubrey, yelled, drawing my attention to her. "Ava, what the hell? You've literally been in another world this entire day."

She was right. The entire day, I was constantly zoning out on her, thinking about Calum. Why would he have talked to me out of all people?

"Aubrey... You know Calum Hood, right?" I asked.

"Ummmm the really yummy one? With big ass biceps and a sexy v line? Ummm yeah, I do. Who doesn't. I mean... He's totally a reject to most people, but I find that hot." She responded, practically drooling.

"Errr... Yeah. Anyways, who is he really?" I asked curiously.

She smirked as she pulled my chair closer to hers.
