Caleb's Point Of View

Monopoly - Ariana Grande

"How do you feel after last night's game?" my family's personal chef asked as he dished breakfast up for me. Both my parents had to be in Dubai for business, they left very very early that morning, and when they did I was still asleep, and when I woke up, I found the note they left me on the kitchen counter. But that didn't bother me much, cause I had Jordan.

"I feel amazing" I assured him excitedly.

"A little to excited if you ask me, something happened right?" he suspected.

"Damn. Is it that obviously?" I laughed, "Yeah, last night, after the game, I invited Jordan, a cute guy from school, to the mall for ice cream and a night in the arcade, and I asked him to be mine" I informed him.

"And he said yes?"

"Of course" I chuckled, "I mean I've date before but, having a boyfriend is the best thing that has ever happened to me, especially that it's Jordan"

"Well then, Mr Warden, I'm very happy to see you happy and I'm wishing all the best for both you and Mr Jordan" he said,  sounding truly happy for me and just after I thanked him for his wish, I finished my breakfast plate and then climbed into another car of mine and drive off to Jordan's house to pick him up, but when I arrived,  I was told that he was already gone. Which was a bit disappointing cause I wanted take him to school with me but, not a big deal. I then drove alone to school, and like every day, my friends was waiting for me at the entrance of the school. Probably had a lot to say about my relationship witg a boy.

"Hey" I greeted themas I climbed out of my car and approached them.

"Dude, when were you gonna tell us that you're in a relationship?" asked Walter.

"I'm in a relationship with Jordan" I rolled my eyes.

"That's great man, at least this time it ain't a psycho" Nathan teased and instantly, I sent him a punch on his shoulder. We all then went inside and just when I entered the hallway, I saw him and coincidentally he wore the same outfit I did. A plain white tee and vintage blue jeans with Nike sneakers. As I starred at him from a distance, I smile made it's appearance on my face. If it wasn't for the elbow that Nathan face me, I would've never approached him and would be still standing in the same spot. I then walked up to him and just when he wanted to say something else to Morgan, I slithered my arms around his little waist and kissed the back of his head, in between his hair. "Hey you" I whispered from behind, "So, we've only been dating for less than twenty-four hours and we're wearing matching outfits?"

"We are?" he asked as he loosened himself and turned to face me and checked if I was telling the truth, "Oh my soul, this is so embarrassing" he blushed and wrapped his short arms around my bigger waist.

"It's not, I think it's cute" I corrected, holding his head between my palms and kissed his soft lips.

"If you say so" he then shrugged.

"I went to pick you up this morning but your dad said you're already gone" I said

"Yeah, I didn't think that it was necessary that you have to go out of your way to pick me up" he said as he pulled something from his locker,  which clearly looked like my hoodie. He handed it back to me and thanked me for letting him wearing, for obvious reasons, I let him keep it. Then he shoved it back into his locker and with his hand in mine, we strolled down the hallway to my class. On our way there, I could see the uncomfortability all over his face from the stares and attention that we caught when we passed. And so, I let go off his hand and just threw his arm around his neck, leaned near his ear and said "I'll let go if you're uncomfortable" and to my surprise, he put his right arm around my waist and shoved fingers into my back pocket. "Now you're too comfortable" I said and he laughed. Like that, we strolled off to my classroom and on our own, we went inside and had a long and deep conversation based on what we want from our relationship. And even though I tried my best to avoid it, he made it one hundred person clear that he knew for a fact that Maddie would try to make him jealous, but he wasn't the jealous type of guy, I can talk to everyone in the universe, and if those people attempt to flirt with me, it all matters on how I was gonna react to it all. I couldn't say the same cause I'd break a nose if I had found out that someone flirted with my boyfriend. Not to mention: physical touch, that's when I'll be murdering.

Just two hours after our conversation, we were all sitting in the cafeteria, taking loud and laughing at each others fails, but one thing that truly bothered me was the fact that Jordan still wasn't there.

<Me> : Hey bae, where are u?

<Jordan> : I'm just finishing up in the bathroom, why?

<Me> : Wait for me ;))

And without letting any of my friends know where I was going, I jumped from up from our table and dashed off to the boys bathroom. When I walked in, I found him staring at his wet face's reflection.

"Are you okay?" I asked

"Yeah, I'm just a little overheated" he grinned wiped his wet bangs off his forehead then looked at me.

"Come on babe, let's go get lunch" I said and after saying 'bae', I felt a small tug or shock from his hand when I grabbed it and headed to the door. "I can call you 'babe', right?"

"Sure" he finally said after a few seconds of thought.

"Babe, babe, let's go babe. The line might get long babe and you're sitting at my table babe" I teased him and we both burst out laughing. When we both returned to cafeteria, I got him something to eat, mean while he went sitting at my table and shafted talking to my friends. Later that afternoon, school was out and we all were on our way.
