rose
Taking my first step in to the school I was already being bombarded with greetings and generic back to school questions.
"Hey, Rose!"
"How was your summer?"
"You look great!"
"I love your dress Rosie!"
"I think we have science together- wanna be my lab partner?"
Frantically, I gave out quick answers to everyone.
But the one call which stood out in my ears was a thick, Australian voice hollering, "Looking good Rosalie!"
That voice belonged to the one and only, Calum Thomas Hood.
CALUM FREAKING HOOD.
The school heartthrob whom I, along with every other girl within a 50-mile radius, had had a massive crush on for the past years. I practically felt weak at the knees.
"Not too shabby yourself, Cal," I tried my best to reply to him casually, as he approached.
"Haha, thanks." He chuckled and began to humorously flex and show off. "I practically spent my entire summer at the gym. Just saying." I suppressed a laugh as he made me try to feel his biceps. All while trying not to faint at the presence of the sex god in front of me. His 3 friends walked over, hearing our conversation.
"More like you spent your entire summer getting your ass kicked at FIFA." The tall one, who I learned to be Luke, added cockily and I let out a giggle.
He shot me a lopsided grin and extended his hand, "Always a pleasure, Rose." I accepted his handshake, but once our hands clasped he spun me around and into his embrace, hugging me tightly.
Well this is awkward.
I tried to pull myself out of his grip and he finally freed me. Letting out an awkward laugh at what just happened another one of Calum's friends, Ashton, tried to comfort me.
"Sorry about that. This one," he motioned to a blushing Luke, "is a hugger."
"Oh," I nervously chuckled, "well that information would've been nice about 2 minutes ago." The boys laughed and the bell rang, giving me an excuse to stop embarrassing myself.
"So I'll see you later?" Calum asked before I could rush away nervously and I melted.
"Yeah, of course." I smiled genuinely at the 4 boys. "Bye guys," And after hearing assorted "bye's" and "sorry i suffocated you's", I was on my way to first period.
