5 ~ Calum
"And if you aren't in school, then you will be on big trouble mister." My mother slides a plate of bacon and eggs my way.
"Okay" I mumble, not daring to argue today. Not with her on his side. Can we talk about something different?
The sound of my father loud snores float down the stairs and makes me relax a bit as I eat. At least his not awake to yell at me.
I toss the plate into the sink and grab the milk carton, from the fridge taking a few gulps before setting back.
"Calum!" My mom glares at me.
"Sorry" I laugh, wiping the milk off my lips. She just shakes her head, a small smile of amusement on her face.
" Get a move on, before you're late." She shoos me out the door with a wave of her hand.
I can already feel the boredom that's about to overtake me, and I just left.
But I find myself staring at one house in particular as I pass it.
Her house. That mysterious girl who moves in a way that makes me forget, for just a moment.
The once White House was fading to a ugly yellow- greenish color. Paint was chipping and the Windows dirty, but all it needed was a little touch up and it'd look good as new.
The vibration from my phone reminds me to keep walking, breaking my curious stare at the house.
Mike ~ you coming to my house this morning? I have Fifa.
Me~ sorry, I have to go to school :/
Mike ~ who are you and what the hell have you done to Calum?
Me ~ Ha ha very funny :(
Mike ~ since when do you give a flying fuck about school?
Me ~ since my parents blew up at me, not everyone's mom lets them drop out, Michael.
Mike ~ hmm. I'll let it slide this time. But don't think you can just below me off for school.
Mike ~ hehe blow me off ;)
Me ~ okay, what ever, and gross
Mike ~ don't use that tone with me!
Me ~ we're texting dumbass, you can hear my tone. I gtg.
Mike ~ bye bitch.
I chuckle, stuffing my phone into my pocket.
Walking past the cold, grey gates that open up to the old building that I'm trapped in for 8 hours of my day.
Pulling open the door, I'm met with an ocean of people swarming through the small hallways.
Even if the walk space is tiny, nobody dares to bump into me, all stereotyping me with my tattoos and piercings.
They're all scared of me.
Which, in some ways they should be. I'm not scared to fight, just don't mess with me and I won't mess with you.
The smell of mint gum mixed with strong perfume contaminates the air beside my locker. Jess is standing there, twirling her bleach blond hair in her fingers.
I roll my eyes. The attention whore can never keep her hands to herself
"Hey Calum" she greets with her high pitched voice. " Hi, Jess." I say turning the combination into my locker.
" I haven't seen you in a while, where have you been?" She places a perfectly Manicured hand on my shoulder.
I glance at her, shoving my bag and shutting my locker. Her skirt was pulled up as high as it could go without her whole ass showing, her shirt looked more like a bra.
I shrug her hand off, walking beside her down the hall way. " Home, anywhere but this shit hole."
She giggles " Of course, you're too cool for school." I roll my eyes, her bubble attitude getting on my nerves.
"Anyways, my birthday party is next weekend, you're coming right?" She smacks her gum, watching me intently for my answer.
"Maybe" I watch her face change, unhappy with my answer, making me smirk slightly.
" That's a yes?" She pulls her bottom lip with her teeth, batting her long eyelash up at me.
I give her a quick wink before walking into my class room, leaving her in the hall way.
I chuckle to myself, I can just imagine the confused look on the pretty blond.
The teacher, surprised that I'm actually in her class today, ignores my presence. They never call on me, knowing that I won't answer.
I go to my desk in the back, it was full with doodles I've drawn on the desk.
I used to try in school. I was just as good as Thomas, straight A's, teacher's pet, but my parents only noticed Thomas' accomplishments.
They would always praise him, all I would get was this smile that didn't quite look like there usual ones, it was more forced
I didn't understand, my little 8 year old mind couldn't wrap around the thought that I wasn't good enough. What was I doing wrong? Me and Thomas are the same, why do they only love him?
Even if my parents didn't notice, Thomas did. He would share his prizes, show me that I did a good job too. He even started asking for things that we both use, toys that we both wanted.
We were the picture perfect twins, matched cloths, joined at the hip.
He was my best friend.
------------------
Luke and I sit in silence in the lunch room, both of us too busy eating.
We're the only 2 of our little group of friends that still goes to school, Michael dropped out, Ash already finished. It would be much more fun with them here.
This is my last year, thankfully. Luke on the other hand, has one more. I feel bad, he'll be by himself next year, he's bad at making friends.
He's to soft and shy, I met him in 2nd grade. He was my first friend, besides Thomas.
Luke didn't like Thomas. He made Luke feel stupid, which hurt Luke's fragile little heart.
Speaking of Thomas, I spot him walking in with a girl.
A really pretty girl who looked way out of his league. Her jet black hair flowed just below her shoulder blades, wearing black skinny jeans and a red flannel. Her short frame contrasted with Thomas' tall one, I watched him double over in laughter at something she said.
She was the type of girl that I look for. She's way too rough for Thomas, I can tell by her nose piercing and the red streak that pops against her hair. Why was she with him?
A Familiar feeling burned in my stomach, one that I've felt almost everyday towards Thomas. A feeling that I hate one that makes me feel ashamed and alone.
I'm jealous of Thomas.

I'm super sorry, this chapter isn't my best, but I just got braces today, and my mouth feels like Ashton beat me like he does his drums, so I couldn't really focus as much as I usually do and didn't put a lot of detail, so it was shorter.
I'm sorry!
What do you think of Jess so far?
