The blond boy looked up at me giving me a smirk. I can tell he knows how embarrassing our interaction this morning was for me by the evil smirk he is flashing me.

The other two boys smile at me and they seem a lot nicer than him.

"Hi guys, this is Mia she is gonna hang with us." Calum said gesturing towards me.

I just smile and shyly wave. The blond boy scoffs,

"Does it talk." He says.

It!? He referred to me as it? I ignore his comment.

"Shut the fuck up Luke." Calum says.

"Mia these are my friends; Ashton, Michael, and Luke." He says pointing to each of them.

Ashton and Michael both smile and wave and Luke just sits there ignoring my presence.

I sit across from Ashton and Calum sits down next to me. Luke gets up and looks to Michael.

"Let's go get food." He says and Michael gets up and follows Luke like a lost puppy. I can literally feel the tension lift as Luke leaves.

"Are you hungry?" Calum asks me breaking the silence.

"No I'm good." I smile.

"Wait you're American?" Ashton says surprised.

"Yeah I moved here from California." I say laughing.

"Why would you leave Cali to come here?" Ashton says confused.

"My dad had to move here for work." I relax a little noticing Ashton is nice regardless his intimidating look.

"Oh I'm so sorry." He says. "Why?"

"Because it's so god damn boring here." Ashton says and Calum laughs joining the conversation.

"He is right there is literally nothing to do but go to the mall." We all laugh together as Luke and Michael sit back down at the table.

The tension is back again as Luke watches my every move. Why is he staring at me?

"So what's your deal?" Michael asks sitting down.

His question took me by surprise but thankfully Ashton speaks for me.

"She's from Cali." Luke glares at Ashton.

"What?" Ashton says to Luke.

"She can speak for herself." Ashton is as surprised as I am but ignores him. Why does he care if Ashton speaks for me? He just referred to me as it before.

"So you're American?" Michael says.

"Yea I had to move here for my dad's work." I say.

"That sucks." I give him a confused look. "Oh I didn't mean it like that I mean like it sucks you had to leave Cali cuz it's so boring here." He reassures me.

"So I've heard Calum says all you guys do is go to the mall."

"Yea we go there to meet girls to fuck." He says casually.

I gasp loudly and they all laugh except Luke who is still watching me intently.

"What? That's all there is to do." Ashton says still laughing.

"So you just find girls and they have sex with you?" I ask with a surprised look on my face.

"Yea why are you so surprised?" Michael asks.

"It's obvious." Luke speaks up. Everyone looks towards him.

"She is a freshie she's never been fucked." He says.

          

My jaw is probably on the floor and anger boils inside me.

"I'm not a fucking freshman!" I snap at him.

Michael, Ashton and Calum look at me with wide eyes.

"I'm a junior thank you very much." Luke narrows his eyes at me.

"Oh so you have been fucked before then." Luke says.

I awkwardly shift in my seat not knowing what to say. I am a virgin but that's embarrassing, most people my age are having sex constantly but not me.

"So you are a virgin then?" Luke says smugly smirking which makes me even angrier.

The other boys are watching me waiting for my answer.

"Okay yes I am a virgin." I say angrily.

Luke just laughs and takes a sip of his drink. He makes me so mad at how fucking smug he is.

Calum clears his throat, "Anyway, let's talk about anything else."

I'm mentally thanking him for changing the subject and not making me talk about being a virgin. The rest of lunch Luke ignores me and I talk to the other boys who are a lot nicer than him.

The bell rings and Calum and I get up to walk to class.

"Bye Mia bye cal." Ashton says and Michael waves.

Luke ignores us of course he is so rude.

We get to the building where our next class is.

"Hey sorry about Luke, believe it or not he can be nice you just have to get to know him." Calum says.

"He seems to really hate me for some reason." I say looking up at him.

"I don't think he hates you, he just likes to push people's buttons."

"I can see that." I say letting out a fake laugh.

We get to class and sit in the back. The teacher walks in and immediately starts talking. "Good afternoon I'm Mr. Tomson welcome to class..."

The bell rings and I am actually excited for my next class. It's drama and that has always been my favorite and I also have it with Calum so I will have someone to talk to.

We get to class and everyone is standing in the front of the room with their bags, I flash Calum a confused look and he just shrugs.

My stomach drops as we walk to the front of the room and I see Luke. Great.

The bell rings and the teacher begins to speak. "I will be giving assigned seats now." The teacher says.

My heart skips a beat and my mind is racing. I feel like I am going to faint. Fuck why this class.

The desks are in twos and I know she isn't going to place me next to Calum. My breathing is uneven and I'm trying to steady it. Calum places his hand on my back trying to calm me and I smile at him.

I feel like there are eyes on me so I look around the room and notice Luke staring at me. He quickly turns away when he notices me looking.

The teacher starts placing people in their assigned seats and my breathing is becoming more and more uneven.

Calum notices and starts rubbing circles on my back. I notice Luke look over at us and cringe. I am confused by this but I don't care all I can focus on is who I am going to have to sit next to.

"Calum Hood." The teacher calls. Calum walks over to her and she places him next to some perky brunette.

"Luke Hemmings." Luke walks past me over to the teacher and I tense up.
