Caleb's Point of View

"So, last night was amazing" I started the conversation after we shared a good morning kiss.

"Last night was awful, oh my God" Jordan

"No it wasn't, it was when your dad mentioned Maddie but after that,  it was perfect" I murmured as interlocked our fingers then, kissed the back of his hand. H stared at with a slight grin on his face and when I asked him about it, he said "I love you"

"I love you too baby" I said before I leaned in for a peck and he cooperated. After that, we drove to school, listening to our favorite playlist, while rethinking our meeting with his parents the might before and making jokes about the awkward moments. When we finally arrived at school, we both walked hand in hand towards the entrance, until we got into the building and into the hallways. There we greeted each other with a long and passionate kiss, then separated from each other and went to our different ways. As I walked up to my classroom, I could hear my friends making a lot of noise as someone spoke. The voice was easily recognizable but the speaker didn't come to my mind. When I finally entered the class, I recognized him, Jared, one of Jordan's friends. And now the weird part is, he instantly left when I walked in, and my friends stopped laughing and retreated to their desks.

"Hey, what was that about?" I asked confused, as I stood in front of the classroom. Their eyes darted at each other, seeming as if they were picking one out of them all to tell me.

"What?" I said in a louder tone.

"Bro, Jared came in here, telling us how he...hooked up with your boyfriend, and he said that Jordan said that no one could ever replace him" Nathan gladly told me. And just like that, I dropped my backpack onto the floor and went hunting for Jared. I finally found him, about to open his locker. Since the hall was filled with neighborly students,  I approached him like, "Hey man, long time, no see. Can I uh...please have a word with you in my class?" And before he could even answer, I grabbed him by his collar and dragged him back to our classroom.

"Now, tell them what you told me?" I ordered after locking the door behind me. Before he could finish his sentence, asking what I was talking about, I threw a punch at his face, causing blood spatters to line up on the floor.

"Oh my God Caleb!" yelled Sam from behind and helped Jared onto his legs. But without thinking twice, I pushed him out if the way, and sent Jared another few punches, ordering him to never touch or think about my boyfriend in such a manner. My anger and maybe jealousy was sky and at the time, beating up the guy who spread lies about having intercourses with my boyfriend, was the perfect way of letting it all out.

"Caleb Warden!!" I heard the principal's voice behind me, instantly I stopped pushing and stood up from kneeling. "BOTH OF YOU, TO MY OFFICE THIS INSTINCT!" she yelled.

After paying our visit to her office, and receiving our punishments, I went to the bathroom and while rinsing my fist, I then realized that Jared's braces might have picked a piece of my skin and left me bleeding. And right on que, no one other than Jordan came walking in, asking if I was okay, after hugging me from behind.

"It's nothing baby, it was just an accident in science class" I lied

"It looks deeply cut, we should probably get you some medical attention" he kissed my cheek before handing me a paper towel to dry my hands and then control the running blood. We strolled down the hallway to the nurse's office and when we arrived, she did nothing but wrapped a bandage around my whole hand and left us all on our own. The idea of Jordan having sex with Jared was stuck in my head and was having a heavy effect on me. So much that it was even visible on my face, I knew it did, cause Jordan questioned me about it. I then had no choice but to tell him about it.

"Look, I didn't get hurt by accident okay? I got in a fight with Jared, cause he went spreading rumors about you two hooking up and you two having sex" I told him, "And so, I couldn't handle it but to lose control, so I beat him and now, I have five hours of detention on Friday"

"Oh, why would Jared such thing?" he asked himself.

"Look, I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but, I think it would be better if you break all ties with him" I suggested, "It might also have a positive effect on our relationship"

"Don't worry, I will" he promised, "But know that, I've never slept with anyone in my entire life. You're the only person I'd wanna have sex with. The first and, hopefully, the last"

"You wanna have sex with me?" I asked surprised

"Of course, you're my boyfriend and you're also the only one who gives me chills down my spine"

"You wanna skip school and go to my mom's hotel?"
