Red Lips & White Lies

|7| Sparks Fly

The song for this chapter is Sparks Fly by Taylor Swift, but instead of that video, I chose the video that belongs to the song for Juliette's assignment, so you could listen to that gem.

The guy that sings this song, is Sam Palladio, who is casted as Caleb. His voice is how I picture Caleb's voice. If you pictured it different, that's alright. Comment whose voice you pictured! ;)

Hope you like the chapter!

'I'm starting to hate this place.'

We were sitting in the studios and I could still smell the detergent we used to clean yesterday. This smell was going to haunt me for the rest of my life, I was sure of it. It was forever going to remind me of my punishment.

'We aren't all rebels,' Caleb grinned at me and he ruffled my hair with his hand.

I glared at him and tried to fix my hair, but that was of course a hopeless cause. Trust me when I say that those curls can't be tamed.

'You are a jerk sometimes, do you know that?' I said, trying to be serious but obviously I failed. I could feel how my lips curled into a smile and unfortunately, Caleb noticed too.

He pointed at my lips and chuckled. 'I know, but you love it.'

I felt how my cheeks turned red, but why I didn't know. I hid my cheeks behind my curls and when I felt them cool down, I tucked my hair behind my ears. No one seemed to have noticed, so I guess my hair didn't let me down for once.

'So, what are we going to do about this assignment?' Sammi started.

Right. The assignment. That's what we were here for. Ethan and I had done a lot yesterday evening when we were cleaning the studios. We had already selected the instruments for the song, but we hadn't divided them yet. We felt like the rest should have a say in it too. They didn't even know about the song Caleb suggested. I really hoped they liked the idea a smuch as I did. Otherwise we would have to find another song and that would take hours.

All eyes were focused on me and it took me a few seconds before it hit me that they were all waiting for me to start. Coming back to reality, I blinked a couple of times and I cleared my throath.

'Well, there is an idea. Caleb suggested to do Without You by Mötley Crüe, but we can give it our own twist,' I paused to see if there were any reactions. Janis was smiling bright and nodding her head repeatedly.

'I love Mötley Crüe and country music, so it sounds like the perfect combination to me,' she said, turning her black hair around her finger.

'Do we all agree than?' I asked to be sure no one felt left out. After everybody agreed, I put my hands on my hips. 'That's settled.'

I looked at Ethan and smiled. Our work hadn't been for nothing. I turned towards Caleb. He was leaning against the wall and he smirked cockily. 'My ideas are always amazing.' He walked over to me and swung his arm around my shoulder. 'It's alright, you can say it. I'm officially too good to be true,' he winked.

I rolled my eyes and pushed him away softly. 'Your ego is too good to be true, if that's what you mean.'

Behind me I heard Sammi and Ethan chuckle. 'She got you good,' Ethan said between his laughter. I chuckled and crossed my arms. Caleb grinned at me, but in his eyes I could see he didn't expect that from me. 'She sure did,' he answered a little grumpy. I smirked. The bad boy was easier to bring down than I thought.
