He'd always be hiding behind the scenes- watching every move. Letting go of the one person he truly valued and loved wasn't an option. But as he got older, secret little notes and small presents weren't enough. He wanted to do something bigger, some...
I anxiously gripped my phone. My finger hovered over the contact.
"Cal!" someone called out. I looked up to see Alisha standing next to Damien. They both came over and sat down next to me.
"Why're you here so early? Usually you and Gracy are late!" Alisha said.
I shrugged. "Just felt like being early today. I wanted to switch it up."
"Caleb Chartier that is so obviously a lie."
I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. I gave Alisha an annoyed expression even though I didn't fully mean it. "Then why do you think i'm early?" I asked.
"Maybe to see your crush or something?"
My face went bright pink. "N-no that's not true!" I said, stumbling over my words.
"Tell me who it is~" she teased.
"I don't have a crush!" I exclaimed.
Alisha giggled and twirled around a piece of her hair. "You totally do."
I was being honest, I didn't have a crush. I hadn't liked anyone since fourth grade which says a lot about my social life. Heck, I haven't even dated someone in the past 17 years I've been alive. I never talked or interacted with any of my crushes!
"Ugh! Why do you have to be so annoying!" I complained.
"Is it Riley? No it's definitely Sam! I've got you staring at him— oh wait I got it! Kane?!"
I groaned. Seriously, Kane? Of all people, him? I get how she said Sam. I mean I've talked to the guy a few times (of course, only for school projects) and he was pretty attractive. But I didn't want to kiss him..
"Just cause Kane's hot doesn't mean I like him." I rolled my eyes.
"So you admit he's good looking?"
"I admit that you're being an idiot right now."
Alisha pouted. "Come on we all know he's a hottie, just admit it!"
"Damien don't just sit there! Make Alisha shut up!" I looked over at Damien and he simply shrugged and gave me a look. It was almost as if he was saying, "what am I supposed to do about it?"
