The Boy Next Door

the first day of school

Hey guys! It's Thursday, so that must mean one thing, it's time for a new chapter to go up!!!

I have a very very very important question: would ya'll readers mind if I did a Caleb's P.O.V.?? B/c I'm gonna need one soon. (You'll see why... Just make sure to read either my Sunday or my Tuesday chapter!) Or would you hate that? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER!!!! 

ily all! x  -e

I can't believe school begins tommorow. It's 8:00 at night and I keep pacing around my bedroom. What will it be like? Will I make any friends. Then I stop my thoughts. Stop being stupid, Ebony. Think of all the friends you made at VidCon, think of Kurt. (Who I have become friends with, because he hung out at the LeBlanc's a lot when I was there) Think of how friendly everyone is, I tell myself sternly.

Mum ducks her head in my room, "Ebby, you should think about getting into bed soon, you don't need to sleep quite yet, but maybe wind down. Okay baby?"

"Yeah," I say.

"Are you okay honey?"

"Yeah," I lie.

"Okay, remember to set your alarm for 7:00, I'll to drive you to school at 8:00."

"Alright, thanks Mum."

"Goodnight, Ebby. Love you."

"Love you," I say as she walks off. I go to my bathroom and take a long, relaxing shower, then come out and wash my face, then get into bed. It's dark out, but I can't sleep. All I can think about is tommorow. My phone buzzes, I grab it and look at it. It's a text from Caleb.

Caleb⚾⚾⚾: goodnight sweet ebony. x

Me: can we ft? i need u

Caleb⚾⚾⚾: sure eb. hold on i'll go to my room

Me: okay. thanks x

Caleb⚾⚾⚾: anything 4 u <3

Me: ily

Caleb⚾⚾⚾: ily 2

Then he FaceTimes me. I turn on the light and then accept the call. "Hey what's up Eb?" He asks.

"I'm just... Nervous about the school."

"Ohhh, listen Ebony, you're incredible. You'll have a fine time."

"I just wish I knew somebody who goes there," I say.

"Um.. Connor goes there." He says.

"You mean 'your girlfriend has no ass' baseball Connor?" I ask. He nods slowly.

"Oh God, oh God, oh God. Caleb I can't do this, I just can't." Tears spring in my eyes.

"Woah, woah, woah, I didn't mean to make you cry, Ebony." I sniff and wipe my tears away as quickly as I can. I don't want him to think he made me cry, that would just make matters even worse.

"I'm... Fine." I say, and take a shuddery breath. "I... I think I'm gonna go to bed, okay?"

"Okay Ebony, goodnight. I love you so much beautiful girl."

"Right... G'night Caleb." I say, and hang up. I lay in bed, and think for a few minutes. I think about how that conversation just went. Was I being rude? Then I realize I never told Caleb I loved him or anything. Crap, now I feel really bad. I grab my phone and send him a text really quick.

Me: Hey Caleb. I'm so sry I was kinda rude when we were ft-ing. i'm just super nervous about school tmro. ilysm cae, goodnight xo

He responds almost immediately.
