Revenge | Calum Hood

6: Why didn't you tell me?

***CASSIE***

Jenna came over on Saturday. We watched a few movies, and the whole time I was holding my breath, praying that she wouldn't ask me about Calum. But it didn't work.

"So... What's the deal with Calum?" she turned to me in the middle of Aladdin.

"Um..." I felt my face redden. Good thing it was dark in here. "I think he likes me, but I'm not sure." And to be honest, I wasn't sure if he did like me. He was probably just messing around with me when he kissed me. I'd end up being just another one of his dolls that he played with. I knew this. But there was a part of me that didn't want to believe it.

"Just don't sleep with him yet."

I turned back to the movie, trying to act like it was all good. I desperately wanted to stop talking (and thinking) about Calum Hood.

On Monday when I walked into school, all the girls gave me weird looks. I wondered what was up. It's not like I'd done anything, unless they new that Calum and I kissed. Oh God...

When I got to my locker, I got my books just as Jenna walked up.

"Hey," I said.

"Hi," she mumbled. "We need to talk."

"Now?" I asked. "I have L.A. in 5 minutes," I complained.

"Yes," she said forcefully, grabbing my hand and dragging me towards the girls' bathroom. She pushed open the door and immediately turned to face me.

"How could you not tell me you kissed Calum?" she blurts.

Oh shit.

"I, uh, I ,uh, just," I stuttered, "I just thought it wasn't important."

"Bullshit, Cassie." Jenna's tone was not amused. "Tell me the truth." She crossed her arms, signaling that she wasn't budging.

I looked down at my feet and said nothing.

"Oh. My. God." Jenna exclaimed. "You like him." Usually she was ecstatic when I told her I liked a guy, but today, she was disgusted. "He's a lying bitch, Cassie. All he's gonna do is get into your pants, then leave you for the next girl."

I still said nothing. "Cassie!" she exclaimed. "Seriously? What's wrong with you?! He's CALUM HOOD! You know exactly what he does, and you still fell for him?" She lets out and exasperated sigh. Now she was just making me mad.

"So you can fall for him, but I can't?" I yelled. "Huh? How does that work?"

She grumbled, knowing I was right.

"You're just pissed 'cuz he left you right after he took your virginity," I spat, spinning on my heel, heading out the door, fuming.

Right after I said it, I knew it was cruel. I mentally slapped myself for being such a bitch. Now I don't even know if Jenna will talk to me. Ughh, I'm so stupid, but she was being unfair...

I needed to stop thinking about that all, so I headed towards my L.A. class.
