Battle School

Ch 5

Blaire's POV

Caleb thinks I shouldn't worry too much that the guy I beat up was missing but I know better than that. he was here for a reason and if the lockdown bell had gone then it means he wasn't just an angry parent. besides what parent would come to the school at six in the morning and grope a student on the way? Caleb lead me back into the hall by putting his arm around my shoulder. I shrugged it off just for him to chuckle and swing his arm around my shoulder yet again. I don't shrug it off this time because I'm too distracted by my thoughts. I cant help but think of who that guy was and why was he here, but more importantly, how did he get past the gates without a parental pass or principles recognition.

"seriously babe, don't worry about it. he's gone and he's not going to hurt you." Caleb tried to comfort as he removed hi arm from my shoulder just to wrap it around my waist, key word being tried.

"I'm not worried about getting hurt. I took him on by myself and knocked him down well before you got here, and stop calling me babe or ill kick your ass too." I said once again removing his arm from my body.

he chuckled and shook his gorgeous blond hair. "ok then what are you worried about exactly?" this time he didn't try to hold me again but crossed his arms over his chest with a smirk on his face as he looked down at me waiting for my response.

"I'm worried about what he was here for, he asked where the principles office was, it just seems a bit suss."

"well ok that could mean anything he could be anyone." he said grabbing my hand between his. "maybe you acted before he explained and tried to hold you down" he suggested. I scoffed and ripped out of his grip. "no, wait Blaire I'm sorry I was just making a suggestion"

"what you don't believe me, is that it" I yelled "well you don't know what happened Caleb. I didn't over react he groped me that's why I knocked him out."

"What?" I didn't answer I just walked off. "Blaire , BLAIRE" Caleb shouted after me but I just went behind the curtain when I was bombarded with shouting from my friends

"WHERE WERE YOU" Jaycee screamed

"WHAT HAPPENED" Justin

"WHY DID YOU LEAVE" Kate

"You know its a lockdown right? lockdowns mean DANGER" Kirsty

"did you see it?" and the twins shouted simultaneously

"woah, woah, woah calm down. one question at a time"

"AND YOU" Jaycee shouted at Caleb who just entered the stage, and just like that the questions started again.

"GUYS" I screamed "I'll explain everything just settle down". As if planned they all plopped down at the same time and got comfortable.

"ok I was just running in the hallway, minding my own business when BAM, this big burly guy came out of nowhere and grabbed my arm, and he was all like 'where's the principle's office?'" I imitated in a deep voice "and then he grabbed my ass and I was all like ' hey don't touch what you cant afford' which I thought was pretty clever then I punched him then he got angry and grabbed my hair and called me a bitch and I was all like 'oh no you didn't' but I didn't really say that but I was thinking it, so instead I twisted his arm and while he was crying I said 'who's the bitch now' then knocked him out and then Caleb came out and we talked a little and when I turned around he was gone"

"ok but why did you run out in the first place?" Justin asked

"to meet my secret lover" I said I a very serious manner. Wayde started laughing and Kayde said

"ha as if you have a secret lover" which only made Wayde laugh even harder.  Justin joined in with the laughing while Caleb looked confused.

"and why wouldn't I? am I incapable of being loved?"

"no your just incapable of loving. your walls are built too damn high as if you'd let anyone in to have a chance of loving." Justin explained

"you know what? I take offense to that. I do not have walls and I am so capable of loving."

"really now?" Caleb questioned. "then how come you've rejected every ounce of affection I've given you?"

"maybe I just don't find you as attractive as you think you are." I shot back

"BUUUURRRN!" the twins drag out simultaneously

"SHOTS FIRED" Justin adds

all the while Caleb is standing there like an idiot with his mouth agape. the girls snicker in the background and I stand with an angry fire in my belly and a murderous look directed at Caleb himself.

"how about we get back to practice?" I suggested. I get a chorus of yeses from the girls and we go off to do our own thing while the boys huddle and muck around as per usual.
