Better than Cupid

Fence Wrecked

I don’t understand what they see in him, I watch as some girls try to flirt with Caleb. One is twirling her hair like crazy it must be in a shape of a curly fry. The other keeps batting her eyes at him, pathetic. 

“he is so dreamy” and that snaps be back into reality. As I lean against my locker I realize how my friends too are just admiring him. 

“he is smelly you know” obviously lying he smells great but this is just ridiculous. 

Someone leans in next to me “ you know I heard he sleeps with stuffed animals” a humorous voice tells me. I turn to face a girl with a huge wicked smile, I turn to face her and laugh. 

“I’m Cori this is Dili and Carmen, you're new here right?” the more I looked at her the more she looked familiar, it was something about her eyes. Shaking it off I realized that she was one of the new students here.

“ Yeah I’m new here and my name is Clover and my favorite color is not green! “ she says quite serious but jokingly. I can see why she said it though in my second grade class there was this girl named Sunny but eventually Sunny became not-so Sunny. 

Smiling at her I realized that I had just made a new friend, she seemed nice, funny and she made fun of Caleb. Perfect. “ you're immune to Calebs looks I see?” I teasingly tell her. 

“ ew now that’s my-“ 

The bell rang and that was our cue for class, I was already in a pissy mood I don't think stuff could get any worse. I had procrastinated on homework and my website, just peachy. The only bright side to this day was that it was Friday. Katy Perry you were right, TGIF. 

******************

It was saturday, I was in bed all comfy, warm and relaxed until I heard a chainsaw. “Mom!” I yelled from my room. This is ridiculous! It’s a saturday the neighbors should know better. 

Since I got no response from her I guess I had to check out the noise, I walked downstairs and opened the back door. My fence was being taken apart, I clutched onto my sweater and approached the fence. 

I peaked behind the fence and saw a two ladies moving in boxes, I crossed onto their fence wanting to ask questions “ uh excuse me” I tried to yell through the gardeners chainsaw. 

“ what are you doing here??” I turn around to face no other than Caleb. His hazel eyes looked lighter in the sunlight which made his dark hair look really, really nice. Realizing I’m staring  too long I scowl at his question. 

“ I’m here to ask why you're taking down my fence,” crossing my arms over I wait for an answer. I raise one eyebrow “ well? “ 

He smirks putting his shovel on the ground and resting a foot on top of it, “ Howdy neighbor”. 

My mouth falls open  “ you're kidding, right?!” I bit my lip and shake my head, not at all happy with this situation. 

“Cori?” a familiar voice says, I turn to face Clover carrying a box of flowers and plants.
