Ch.16

Why did Luke call me beautiful? He is sadly mistaken. I'm not beautiful at all. I have natural wavy brown hair that stops to the middle of my back. I'm the only one who has freckles in my family, which is weird to me. My eye changes color that looks terrible on me. I've barely grown since the fifth grade, I probably look like a midget compared to everyone else. I'm not a size zero. I can't even squeeze into my jeans without a problem. There's plenty more but I don't have time for that.

Beautiful...

It keeps replaying over and over again in my mind. I still can't believe it. Never mind, I'm just making a big deal out of nothing.

*Bell Rings*

Yay, two down. Three more to go. I gather my things and walk out of the classroom. Just as I'm walking by, that kid who kept tugging my hair trips me on purpose. I quickly catch myself before I fell on my face and turn to him.

"What's wrong with you." I scowl at him

"Nothing cupcake." He smiles

"Don't call me that." I grimace and turn to leave before I can hear his annoying voice again.

There aren't that many students in the hallway, thank goodness. I go to my locker and put up my things I don't need and shove them into my locker. I get my things I do need and neatly place them in my bag. I have this weird thing going on. I always have my things from tallest to shortest in my book bag. When I close my locker, Luke is on the other side with a funny face.

"That's attractive." I say sarcastically

"I know it is." He says flipping his long hair. It stops to his ear. I can't really imagine him having short hair.

"I was being sarcastic." I respond as we walk down to Ashton's locker, where Calum and Michael

"I don't think you were."

"Well I was."

"No you weren't."

"I'm pretty sure I was."

"I'm pretty sure you aren't pretty sure."

"What? That doesn't even make any sense!" I laugh. The other boys turn towards us and gives me a weird look. My cheeks get red and I look away.

"What's up mates?" Luke asks them when we reach them

"I think the real question is, what's up with you guys?" Ashton quirks an eyebrow. Silence fell between the two of them.

"I'm just messing around. Nothing much. Let me just get my stuff and we'll head off." Ashton giggles. Oh goodness. Ashton gets his things and we walk down the empty hallway.

"Why are we always the last one to leave?" I ask no one in particular

"Because we're cool like that." Calum says trying to walk like a gangster. They all start walking like that and I scoot away from them, very slowly.

"Hey!"

"Where you going?"

"What do you think you are doing?"

"Get back over here!"

By now I'm running out of the doors and towards the office. Of course I slow down, don't want to get caught. When I'm out of there I pick up my pace. I dodge a few students and hide behind a brick column. I hear footsteps then it all comes to a complete stop. I cover my mouth to keep me from laughing. Just then the door I was standing next to opens and I'm being thrown over someone's shoulder.

I squeal and then they put me down. When I look up after catching my breath, I see four boys laughing their butts off. I squint my eyes at them and cross my arms until they're done laughing at me. It took like five minutes for them to stop!
