🌙Caleb's Point of View🌙
I debated whether I should tell him or not. It was like every thought was trying to fight its way for attention.
"—You seem really, dead, there." I didn't realise he was talking to me.
"Hm? --- Ow!" A sharp pain rushed through my whole head.
It was throbbing with pain.
"Are you okay?" The first time he ever asked anything so kindly, I was actually amused.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied.
"What was it you wanted to tell me before in class?" I swallowed. If I don't tell him, the secret will be locked inside of me forever. If I do tell him, he'll do anything unexpected. Most likely to tell the whole school. Or the first person he would tell would be Jasmine. He's like a box under a Christmas tree waiting to be opened. Full of surprises.
"If I tell you, you'll promise you won't tell anyone?"
"Promise." I heard a little laugh while he said that. Sometimes, I can't trust his promises. Actually I don't think I can at all. He better swear on his life for this one.
I sighed. I was ready. I was ready for him to laugh at me, tease me, maybe even punch me. Anything could happen. But it's also time I let out my feelings for once in my life.
"I... Um" I paused.
"You can tell me, bro. Come on. Don't be a weakling."
That last sentence made me furious.
"Oh shit- I was meant to meet Mr Lindell about my assignment— and I think I have detention. I don't know, I'll see you soon."
I went off. I couldn't do it. I couldn't tell him I liked Jasmine. Because if I ever did, I'll never achieve anything in life. I can't risk it.
Jasmine's Point of View
"How were classes without me?"
"Boring," And that wasn't a lie. I knew it wouldn't be the same without Gale. I looked over to my left and saw Kaitlyn trying to look for somewhere to sit.
"Kaitlyn! Come sit with us." she immediately turned and came walking our way. I looked at Gale and his face was full of confusion, and a bit of rage.
"Gale, this is Kaitlyn, she's— "
"I know."
Kailyn and I looked at each other, confused.
Jealous much.
First day of school wasn't that awful. I made new friends. Maybe this year won't be so bad.
