You and Me

Chapter 15: 'It' Couple

I woke up with a huge smile on my face.
Today is going to be a good day.

Despite the fact that I had Saturday school, (don't ask, it's a one-time thing) I was getting these good vibes about today.

Yawning, I got up from my bed and french-braided my hair into two parts. After slipping on some tight jeans and a grey tee, I put on some shoes and joined my mom for breakfast.

"Morning," I said cheerfully.

My  mom eyed me carefully before raising a curious eyebrow. "What happened yesterday?"

I sat down on the counter and poured myself some Cheerios. "What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb with me, Cally, you know what I mean."

I ate my cereal innocently and ignored her question. "I don't know what you're talking about, mom. Come sit with me, we never eat together."

My mom continued to watch me as she grabbed her coffee and took a seat. "As long as it's not sex, it's fine. I just—"

Choking on my cereal, I stopped eating and gave my mom an incredulous look. "Sex? Mom — I'm a—who would I even—"

She laughed before setting her coffee down. "Don't get upset, I was just asking. I want you to know that if you ever need any—"

I widened my eyes and quickly stood up. "You know what? I think it's time to go to school. Yep. I'm gonna be late, see ya, mom." Grabbing my car keys, I stepped outside and closed the door behind me.

Driving off, I popped a gum in my mouth to make up for the unbrushed teeth.

Oh my god. That was so embarrassing.

I shook my head and tried to push the conversation aside. My mom was absolutely crazy, there was no one in the entire world who would actually want to "do the deed"with me.

They'd have to be mentally unstable. And blind.

As I parked my car, I saw a figure approaching me. My face lit up when I realized it was Reed.

"So," he said casually, "you're my girlfriend."

I smiled and felt my cheeks grow hot with embarrassment.

Why are you even blushing?

Cause you like him, stupid.

Shut up!

I cursed silently at my inner voice and once again smiled at Reed. "Yeah. And you're my boyfriend."

He smirked and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "I know."

Grabbing my hand, he pulled me inside the school and walked me through the halls. "Hold on," he said quickly, "Cal, I need talk to a teacher, I'll be right back."

I nodded and watched as he walked away. Someone tapped my shoulder, and I was surprised in seeing that it was Preston.

"Oh look, if it isn't the school's slut."
