A/N: Hey all - this is just a random lil thing that got me out of writer's block a while ago, Callum's character had been bugging me for a while so I thougth I'd give him his fifteen minutes of fame... enjoy .

My jeans were too loose, my shirt was too tight, my hair was too bleh and my head was too tired. So what if I’m being bitchy it’s a fucking Monday morning and I have school. I continued with this mantra of sorts as I kept my eyes glued to the path, catching glimpses of my boots from underneath my stupid jeans. Stupid day. Why does nothing go right on a Monday?

My thoughts faltered when someone rudely got in my way and I was forced to walk around them; stupid old women, stupid morning, stupid sun. Why couldn’t I have stayed in bed? Hell no one would miss me if I did. Ok if I turned round now I could go back to bed. Too late. I groaned louder as my ears were violently assaulted.

“Callum!” The screech came seconds before a bright pink blur latched onto my arm. The joys of having friends… no, really.

“Fuck off K.” She ignored me, like always. Probably hadn’t heard me over her incessant babbling.

“Oh my god did you hear?!” I couldn’t hear, she had just destroyed my ear drums with the screeching and the babbling. Was she still talking? I tuned back in just in time to hear the last of her gushing tirade. “…apparently transferred from down south somewhere.”

Using my incredible deduction skills at this ungodly hour was just impossible so I filed away the little snippet I’d caught and promised my ears nothing but tender loving care from now on. Why did I not think I’d keep that promise?

The school was way too grey, I decided as I was being forcefully dragged up the path. Why were we so early? Where was everyone? How could I be early on a Monday, was that even possible? Kar was still gibbering about…something. Ah there is a god…the coffee machine was back!

Ignoring Kar with more force than before I stumbled over to the machine and died. Someone explain to me how it can be out of order, the first morning its back?!

“K, is that sign there? Or is it a bad dream?” Kar actually shut up for a few seconds, wow. She shrugged, stupid, non-coffee loving people.

“Yeah it’s there, very much there. Ha, no coffee for the grumpy bastard this morning. Why don’t you ever do any at home? Like, before you come out you could have coffee and then be all perky on the way to school!” I really, really tried not to glare at her, honestly. Didn’t work.

My promise of TLC for my ears was broken as soon as the bloody bell rang. Fucking thing. Kar managed to keep pace all the way up to our form room. Great. Mondays suck.

Needless to say I was in a pretty foul mood when I got to my first lesson, who in their right mind expects people to actually do Math first thing on a Monday? Stupid people. Joy, there was someone in my seat, the seat which I always sat in. My lovely corner seat next to the window. Fucker was going down.

“Oi, person.” He turned round, and the fact that I had never seen him before, and he was actually quite hot registered somewhere; but I was too fucking tired for it.

“Yes?” He looked slightly confused, probably was. Like I care.

“Move, that’s my seat.” Smart arse fucker rolled his eyes and looked at the back of seat, feigning interest,

“I don’t see your name on it.” The teacher was saying something at the front of the class. I didn’t care, I managed to find a pencil in one of my pockets, a miracle in it’s own right really. He looked a bit more confused when I crouched down and scrawled across the back of the chair, ‘Callum McGrieg’s. Fuck off’.

“There, my name, fuck off.” He rolled his eyes again and moved. Ha! I won, my mind did a little victory dance, then he sat down next to me. Joy. Make it even better? The teacher was after homework. Shit.

How was I supposed to remember homework? Or do homework for that matter? I never do it – I think she’s even stopped asking me. I wouldn’t know I was taking much notice. Distraction thy name is…annoying hot guy next to me! My little inner voice kindly told me that I wouldn’t sound so stupid if I asked him his name… I bitch-slapped the little thing and enjoyed it. Ha.

I was all set to do my usual math thing and snooze when the distraction on legs, became even more distracting. He started answering questions. I groaned quietly and banged my head off the table, I waited for a gap in his questioning-answering stuff and poked him. He flinched, good. Ha!

“Person! Stop talking!” He looked at me incredulously and raised an eyebrow,

“Hmm, and why should I do that?” I banged my head on the table again and paused as Miss…Something glared at me. Like I ever knew her name.

“Because, I’m trying to sleep! No one does work in here anyway…” Silence reigned on my table, joy! Just as I’d put my head back and was in that lovely place just before sleep…he answered another fucking question!

My head flew back up so quickly I think I got whiplash, he was smirking at me! I sulked, yeah that’s right I sulked, in a very manly way…sort of. It’s not like I pouted…much. I glared at him as I doodled little snoozing stick men all over the table.

“Are you planning on torturing me for the entire lesson? Why’d you even sit by me anyway?” He shrugged and sat back looking fucking smug,

“Cause, fuckwit, it’s the only seat in the room, and unlike you, I plan on learning…well as much learning as someone can do in this class.” I scowled, bastard. It was not the only seat in the room…was it? I glanced around and scowled even more, so maybe it was.

“You could have sat on the floor!” He rolled his eyes at me and shrugged,

“Are always this much of a bad tempered bastard?” No I was not…I was about to inform him of this when some random blonde…thing in front of me turned round and smirked at annoying-person.

“Oh yes, he’s always like this, it’s why he has no friends. Well, except for that strangedyke with pink hair. Really sad actually… I’m Veronica by the way, you’re new right?” Annoying person sat back in his seat and nodded,

“Yeah, I moved up here last week.” Veronica turned around and leaned forward, giving annoying-person a very good view down her top. Slut.

“Well, are you gonna tell me your name?” Annoying guy leaned back even further and looked at me, with a slightly scared look in his eyes. Ha! Now it’s your turn for torture bitch.

“It’s, er…” Ok he was stuttering, which just made him look cute…ok no more thoughts like that about annoying person… Maybe I should help him, after all. Then again he did keep me from sleep… “It’s…”

“None of your fucking business Verucca. Get lost.” She glared at me and when annoying-person made no move to counter my lovely addition to the conversation she turned ‘round and huffed and her friend. Ha! I won!

Annoying-person collapsed on the table for a few seconds and I happily snuggled back into my arms and got all ready for the lovely snooze-train to pick me up when he poked me! He actually poked me…me! I was seriously going to murder him, very slowly, with blunt implements. Maybe a spoon would work.

My musing cost me another poke and I glared at him from under my hair, I was beginning to think he was out to get me; deprivation of sleep is fatal. That was it! He was going to kill me! I was the victim of a cruel calculated murderer. He cut me off with another poke. So I did the only understandable thing. I poked him back, harder.

“What?!” He smirked again and I ignored the fact that the smirk made him sex on a stick. He was doing it on purpose to torture me before killing me.

“Well,” He flicked long pieces of black hair out of his face and I seethed at him, damn him for making stupid things seem…not stupid. I must have indicated my…displeasure because he raised an eyebrow and coughed over what I believe was a snigger. Bastard. He spoke, interrupting my inner hating of him. “I’m Leo… In case you were wondering.” I hadn’t been. Honest. I sneered,

“I was doing just fine referring to you as annoying-person thank you very much. I believe I’ll continue. Annoying person.” Say what you want about me, but never say I’m not stubborn. It’s my Nana’s fault, she’s as stubborn as a…stubborn thing. Annoying-person otherwise known as Leo grinned and shook his head at me.

“Are you ever a sociable person?” The only thing for me to possibly do in answer to that was to do what I did…curl up on the desk again and try the sleep thing again.

The fucking bell rang; followed by the retreating snickering of Leo…annoying-person! Mondays sucked…so much.
