Make some calls

With the alarm ringing the hallways suddenly became swamped with students, most of whom were assuming this was just a fire drill. The hallways quickly became flooded with a chorus of voices, yells and cheers. Charlie was merrily storming through with his best friend still tagging along, they both chanted, "free lesson, free lesson, free lesson," all the way down. Your heart leapt in your chest as you couldn't help but be captivated by the girl with flowing locks of chestnut brown hair, that almost hid the heart warming smile on her face. "Heather..." You quietly breathe out.

As if she heard you her dazzling brown eyes gazed over you as you dreamily gazed back. The smile of her full lips seemed to get bigger. She stopped following the flow of students and gracefully floated over to you with her long shapely legs. Honestly she could've teleported and you wouldn't have noticed. "What are you doing Michael, can't you hear the alarm?" Heather looks you up and down quickly with furrowed brows. Her smooth voice speaking your name almost has you too flustered to speak.

"Hey." You manage finally after a few seconds, thankfully with no voice crack. Her face returns to her usual smile upon your words.

"We could've 'hey'd' outside. There's a bit of a situation happening if you hadn't noticed." She reply's with a soft, lighthearted giggle.

Situation... Oh yeah.

"So there is something actually. You've heard about that virus right?" You steady your voice as you speak, which is surprisingly difficult when Heather's full attention is on you. She gives you a quick nod before tilting her head slightly and raising an eyebrow. You continue. "My older sister was there recently, trying to help and well... it didn't go well. She says it's here and it's dangerous."

"Well that's... interesting but, there's a fire happening so we may need to get out of the building before you tell me more. Okay?" Her voice is soft as she speaks, like she genuinely cares.

"No that's. I mean, well you see..." You proceed to tell her what's happened so far.

* Sam's POV

She was being led by the mass of students making for the exits all the while the blaring alarm was starting to get on her nerves. First the issue with Charlie stealing her underwear and secondly him almost fingering her... In front of Michael no less. If she was being completely honest with herself it was way more frustrating watching Heather flirt with him, even if it was only to get Charlie to leave. Of course Sam knows about Michael's little crush he's got for her.

She sighed looking down upon her body. Maybe the reason he likes Heather more is because of her obvious size differences. Sam continued to plod along as she was barely paying attention until she saw the woman she was mulling over, talking to someone who looked an awful lot like the friend she was trying not to think about. Sam's heart felt a sudden stinging pain, like it had skipped a beat and then been trampled by the crowd around her. Subconsciously however her legs changed course and lined up an intercept path.

She really likes Michael. Even if the feelings are more than friends she isn't going to ruin it by blocking his attempts to get with Heather. Besides, Sam didn't hate her, she hated the fact that she had flirted with him. She was approaching from behind whilst the two of them were deep in conversation, a conversation she wasn't paying attention to as her heartbeat was pounding in her ears. Thinking this deeply about Michael had gotten her all flustered.

Sam stopped approaching. Michael gestured to his left while she took a moment to calm down. Finally after quite a few seconds she was about to inform him of her presence, Heather spoke. "Thanks for telling me, I'd better let Charlie know." She started to back away while speaking. "Even if he is a douche sometimes." Heather let out a giggle before merging into the thinning crowd.

"Now to find them. I hope I'm not too late." Michael said while scrolling through his phone. His voice seemed to drown out all of the other sounds around her. And then he turned around...

* Your POV

You gesture to Hina while talking to Heather. "So then she set the alarm of." Paige smiles, probably in relief that there isn't a fire, it's a smile that warms your heart until she replied.

"Thanks for telling me, I'd better let Charlie know." She starts to back away while speaking. "Even if he is a douche sometimes." Heather let out a giggle before merging into the thinning crowd.

Thinning crowd, crap. Time's running out. I've got to focus.

"Now to find them. I hope I'm not too late." You say, shaking of the thoughts of Heather with a slight worry to your tone as you quickly skim to your contacts. Assuming Lucy would've got a message from Bella you skip through to calling your best friend. You press call and a dial tone sounds from right behind you. You spin around to face the noise only to come face to face with the flushed face of a redheaded cutie. "Sam." You exclaim.
