        I scanned the halls clutching my books to my chest. I wanted to bump into him. I curled my hair today so maybe he'd notice me. I was good at doing everyone else's hair and planning out their clothes to wear, but when it came to doing it for myself I was a mess. I sighed not seeing him anywhere. "Ellie!" A cheery voice called out to me. I turned around automatically knowing it was Luke. He was the only one who called me Ellie. 

        "Hi Luke." I sighed. I was disappointed that I didn't see Calum, or he didn't see me. He curled a piece of my hair around his finger.

        "Did you curl your hair?" He asked. I shrugged.

        "Am I pretty yet?" I asked half jokingly half serious. I already knew his answer though. I asked him the same question each time and he answered the same thing each time.

        "Everyone is beautiful in their own way." He shrugged with a dimpled smile. I wasn't hideous or anything, I just wasn't special. I wasn't the type of person someone would stop to compliment. I was just average Elle. I sighed.

        "What will it take for him to notice me?" I groaned in frustration.

        "He does...just not in the way you notice him. I mean, come on Elle. You've liked Calum since you were what, six?" Luke replied. I nodded in confirmation.

        "I know. I just can't get over him!" I said exasperatedly. 

        "Maybe you should tell him how ya feel." Michael said walking over to us. I rolled my eyes.

        "What so I could embarrass myself? Ha, no thank you. I mean have you seen his last girlfriend? She was like a model and I'm...me." I frowned.

        "Aw keep your head up Four Eyes, your glasses are falling." Michael cooed. I glared at him and shoved my glasses up the bridge of my nose. They actually were falling.

        "Actually that's not a bad idea Ellie. I mean, it would give you the closure to get over him." Luke reasoned. Maybe they were right. Then again, I could just be walking into an eternity of regret and embarrassment. But hey, whatever it takes to get over Calum Hood right?

A/N: hiya so this is somewhat my first story, I deleted my actual one. And yes this chapter is really short so sorry but it's only a prologue so. Also this story is loosely based off of All Time Low's Break Your Little Heart. It's my favorite ATL song so you should really go check it out. Uhm yeah thank you and have a great day/night/afternoon :)
