You're So High Maintenance | Jaele (Completed)

42. Caught Up In The Night, We Ain't Ready To Go Home Yet

Reminisce, Josiah and Khalifa may have been expelled from the school but that didn't stop them from enjoying themselves.

After the meeting with Señor Rodriguez in his office about how they had gotten Darius arrested, instead of getting ready to go home, they decided to celebrate their short lived time at school by having a party.

It wasn't a big party, only a mini one, with some people that didn't dislike them or saw them any differently for getting Darius and Lilibet arrested.

Khalifa had also made up with his ex girlfriend Stefani, who was at the party at the moment along with her friend Caleb. Kaiden and Tatiana were there too along with about 10 others.

Caleb was Stefani's ex it seemed but Khalifa didn't know enough about him to make judgements. They did initially dislike each other though when Stefani was mad at Khalifa for believing his friends over her.

YSHM were trying to split Stefani and Khalifa up for the second time but instead of believing Stefani, Khalifa believed them instead.

Khalifa first met Caleb when he was talking to Stefani's cousin DaSanté at the school's bowling alley. She shouted him on Instagram as it was his birthday, which she never did with Khalifa on his.

"It's okay to be jealous, Khalifa."

"I'm not jealous."

"Doesn't seem that way," he had answered, placing his hand on his shoulder, as Khalifa had given him the side eye.

Forget this. He was going in.

Just as DaSanté was about to get comfortable resting on his shoulder, that was when Khalifa had gone over to them, who were laughing about something.

Then in his quietest voice ever, he had muttered if he could have talked to Stefani alone.

When Stefani and Caleb had seen him, their moods had gone downhill pretty fast. Khalifa didn't care though, he wanted this to be over and done with.

"Ain't you her ex?"

"I wasn't talking to you."

"What are you doing here?" She had sounded agitated and honestly speaking, Khalifa didn't blame her.

If the roles were reversed, he was still mad at her and she wanted forgiveness for something then he would have probably reacted the same way.

Khalifa had smartly told her that the bowling alley was open to everyone so he couldn't really have avoided this place even if he wanted to.

Plus it wasn't like he was spying on her - even though he was. It was just a "coincidence" that they had seen each other here.

"Please. It would only take a minute."

"You're the last person she wants to talk to right now."

"Was I talking to you?!" Khalifa had accidentally on purpose shouted at Caleb. "You don't need to be her mouthpiece for crying out loud. She can talk for herself, she's 19."

Caleb had asked her if she was going to tolerate such rudeness, with Stefani frowning at Khalifa for a while - Khalifa didn't take his eyes off of her.

He was dead serious about this.

Some people had looked at him intently when he had shouted at Caleb, with Khalifa not caring. He needed to get back together with her.
