Catch Me, I'm Falling in Love

Chapter 3

Cornelia opened her eyes and saw the sun shining through her window. She got up and walked over to Caleb. She shook him hard.

"Get up! We have to get ready for school" She said tiredly and went out to her bathroom. She shut the door and slipped out of her night gown and went into the shower. The hot water ran down her body and she slowly awakened fully.

She took a towel around her hair, then her body. She unlocked the door and went into her room. She went over and shook Caleb once more. "Get out of bed!"

While opening her closet, Caleb slowly opened his eyes. He was suddenly fully awake when he saw Cornelia in only her towel. Wow! He thought.

He went out to the bathroom and closed the door. He sighed and looked in the mirror. Living with a girl was gonna be hard!

Cornelia found a perfect outfit. A red blouse with a V-neck cutting, which showed some of her chest, she had a black skirt on; a little shorter than knee length and matching knee high boots.

She looked absolutely fabulous and hot! And she knew it.

Caleb came out of the bathroom drying his bronze hair with a towel.

Cornelia turned and shrieked. "You're not wearing anything!"

Caleb looked confused. "I'm wearing a freaking towel!"

"Exactly, you're not wearing any clothes."

The towel dropped and Cornelia squeezed her eyes together.

"Relax, I'm not naked, you don't have to close your eyes."

Cornelia opened one. He was only wearing his boxers. "You're so naked! Get dressed!" She closed her eyes again and went out.

"Women." Caleb mumbled and found his jeans.

Caleb walked into the kitchen and sat down to eat breakfast.

He had a red T-shirt on, where you could see his muscles through. Then he had Denim jeans and vans on.

"Here," Liz Hale poured up some orange juice and gave Caleb a plate with pancakes.

"Thanks Mrs. Hale."

"Good morning Caleb!" Lillian said with enthusiasm in her voice.

Cornelia rolled her eyes.

"Morning Lillian." Caleb answered.

"Yeah well when you've lived here for one week you'll find a different tune!" Cornelia whispered to Caleb.

"You're just jealous that he likes me and not you!" Lillian said childishly.

"Oh yeah the green monster is loose inside of me!" Cornelia said sarcastically. She got up and took her bag.

Caleb followed. She sighed. "When we get to school, you're gonna keep a low profile and don't tell anybody that you're staying with me before I say it myself! Got it?"

"Whatever..." Caleb said and they both left for school.

When they arrived at Sheffield Institute, Cornelia walked in having every girl staring at her with hate and every boy with a dreamy fantasy.

Cornelia just rolled her eyes and kept walking. When she and Caleb got to the office they walked inside.

"Well good morning Mr. Fletcher, Miss Hale." Miss Knickerbocker said. "Here's your schedule." Caleb took it. "And Miss Hale, you'll share many classes with Mr. Fletcher. And I ask you to let him sit with you at lunch."
