To the best of my knowledge, the only way to lose muscle is to 1. Not use it, and 2. Eat poorly. There are big problems with both options however.
Option 1 is pretty straight forward. If your muscles are not used, then gradually they will shrink.
Option 2 is somewhat similar. If your body does not get the nutrients it needs, it will digest your muscle.
The problem with both of them is that you dont want to become an unhealthy couch potato, just to satisfy your desire to look prettier. Particularly not at the age of 13 when you are still growing.
The same applies for option 2. You dont want to undernourish yourself for the same reason.
Also, with both options but particularly option 2, you will lose muscle from other parts of the body as well.
To me, there is no good way to go about this. The best thing I could suggest is to pick a form of exercise that is less calf intensive and go with that (maybe biking). The changes will be very slow though, and may not happen if you have a genetic tendency towards big calves.
Good luck.

Hey, I'm in the same boat. I did gymnastics, cheer and dance for ages, and my calves are huge! But in my case, it's just heredity... both my parents have really muscular calves, so I guess I'm just doomed. haha. I know at one point when I lost a whole bunch of weight, they got slightly smaller, but not by much. So if you're like me, there may not be much you can do about it. It's just a part of my body I don't really like but I've just had to stop dwelling on it and concentrate on the good things. I know how you feel, though. I HATE it when people are like "omg, your legs are so muscular!". But some people say it's sexy, so... I just try to think about that! =]
