Beautifully Cold

As time goes by, I wrote a whole page on bail, adult sentencing and what happens when a person with mental health problems gets taken into custody. Did you know, you cannot put a person on trial if they are deemed mentally unstable? I suddenly find myself thirsty for more knowledge. Time was over and no more law class for two days. "I'm Zayn" the boy who had good imagination said. A small but visible blush crept on my face as we shook hands. "Amelia" I pack my books up while Zayn and I exchange small talk. "sorry about John, between you and I, his wife's having him sleep on the sofa" he whispers, I start to laugh. I guess I felt a little better knowing Mr Bliss doesn't have a smooth sailing life, like what his last name suggests. "John? I didn't think you two were close enough to be on a first name basis"
"We should be close by now, he's my uncle" My mouth falls open once again, Zayn must think I'm so lame. They were so different, not just personality wise. We got to the car park and there was only two cars left and I know for a fact that state of the art Range Rover wasn't mine. Jeez, how rich is this guy? My basic beetle looked inferior, well this is embarrassing. "well Amelia, it was finally nice to speak to the beautiful girl that's sat next to me for 7 months" Zayn opens his car door. "Maybe we could do coffee some time" he suggests. "Yeah, I'd like that"
"well good day Amelia" And with that he drives off without looking back. I just realised that he thinks I'm beautiful. Zayn didn't look like the liar type, although appearances can be deseving. Fighting the urge to squeal like a little school girl, I unlock my car. Do I really need to go back to school? I inwardly groan. Every single person hates me, they claim I'm boring, a teachers pet and quiet recently, a nark. Where as for Calum, Its different. School is his kingdom, his domain. Boys want to be him and girls want to be with him. Thats were I pity them, Calum doesn't want them girls who roll their skirts up, the girls that leave nothing to the imaginations. He wants Lucy, Only Lucy.
I decide to just skip school for the first ever time. Its kind of exciting, a new sense of freedom. I had to get Calum a birthday present, so if that means I have to get a scolding from dad then so be it. The only challenge is, what do you get a boy that has everything he's ever wanted. Maybe a 50 cent CD? would he think I'm cool if I get that? would he think I'm just as hipster as him? A XBOX game? no, he's never home long enough to play it. What is Calum 100% passionate about? All he ever talks about is his band, and Calum never lets me forget that I accidently broke his most prized possession. A new guitar, That's it! fine, its settled. I'll get him a new guitar and become the best sister in the world. Not once have I ever been in a record shop, nor have I got interest to but this is for Calum, I can make an exception.
The shop looked a little too punk for me, the main colour scheme was black, no pink or orange and no inviting colours. How do they even get business? This was Calums scene, he probably hangs here every day. I walk in confidently, a bell above the door makes everyone look at me, some even mouth drop. Obviously, I wasn't their target audience. Their was more guitars than I thought ever possible. Acoustic, bass , electric. The list was endless. "no fucking way" a familiar voice says, followed by a laugh. Hesitantly and controlled by nerves, I turn around. "Whats Calums snotty sister doing in a place like this" Great, a friend of Calum's. Unlike Calums other annoying friends, this boy in front of me had a dark demonr. He strikes me as the kind of person you would cross the road to avoid any kind of contact. He had these frosty green eyes which reminded me of the harshest of seasons, winter. Another thing that stood out was just how muscular he was. What scared me the most wasn't his appearance but the fact if he were to turn on me, I wouldn't stand a chance. Why the hell was I thinking like this? what the actual hell? "you work here?" I ask slowly "I thought all Calum's friends were lazy and relied on their parents money" Avoiding he glare was difficult, for some reason I just wanted to gaze into them.
"Not me, I'm totally independent" He crosses his arms over his chest. "yeah well, so is a hamster"He stood next to me, Looming over. He's bigger than me in every way. "do you go to Rosewood school?" I ask. "yeah, Its boring as fuck so I dropped out" His vulgar language made me jump slightly. He laughed. "I don't know why you're acting tough around me, its like you're trying to impress me or something" I say without thinking, Looks like I've just made a fool of myself. "I'm Ashton" I sarcastically smile while walking past him to the bass guitars. Some told me that Calum would be amazing playing this. "Didn't you hear me?" annoyance evident in his voice. "yeah, I heard" I smile "how much is this?" I point to the red and black guitar, please be reasonable. "Really you want this," Ashton doesn't even try to hide the humour in his voice and eyes. "aren't you a acoustic kind of girl?" anger brewed in my stomach. I remained expressionless, while I crossed my arms over my chest. "89.99"
Ashton accepts my credit card, occasionally stealing glances at me. He was very good looking, much more so than Zayn. Stop staring, Amelia! "I'm um, Amelia" Ashton smiles, showing me his teeth. Goose bumps arised onto of my skin. "see that wasn't too hard" I ignore him while he signed some more paper work. "I almost forgot Calum had a sister, no one ever mentions you" "Thats a good thing isn't it?" "It is if you're a total under the radar loser" wow, what an asshole. Ashton must have noticed that I was growing impatient, I swear I felt my whole body tense up when Ashton's eyes turned border line black. "sorry, princess, not used to waiting for what you want, ey?," "you are a inconsiderate little boy, how dare you presume things about me. You don't intimidate me, Ashton because quite frankly, I hate you" I gripped hold of the guitar and stormed out, it was much heavier than I anticipated. I slam my car door shut. How could one person make me so god damn angry? scratch that, furious. I didn't even know his last name, nor did I know him well enough to call him names.I felt so conflicted. I'm too proud to go back and apologise and I'm too nice to not go back.
Lucy suddenly calls me. "where are you, I've been waiting for ages" I smack my hand on my head, how could I forget? "Oh crap, I'm so sorry, I was getting Calum a birthday gift, meet me at mine?" I ask while looking out the window. I spot Ashton. A cigarette in hand. Acting stupidly, I duck as quickly as possible. "I can't, Dads set me up with one of his clones" her voice booms throughout the car. I don't pay attention to her as I'm suddenly hypnotised by how the black deadly smoke goes into his body and then comes out. "Amelia, are you even listening?" "yeah-- sorry, I was driving"I lie "I said if the date finishes early, I'll pop round" "Calum will be there" I tease. Lucy goes on to groan "anything better than Dads minions I suppose" "who knows, this one could actually be the one" "like that's going to happen"
