Amelia's POV

?: hi, Jacob told me I should text you
A: hi
A: is this Caleb?
?: yea, sorry should have led with that
A: it's fine I'm Amelia but everyone just calls me A
C: Well its nice to meet you A
C: I'm Caleb

This conversation lasted for about twenty minutes before he claimed his phone was dying.

An hour later he texted me again and we talked for a while and when I say a while I mean around four or five hours a while. The thing about talking to Caleb is that when I talked to him I always felt safe.

These conversations also led to me calling him deer.....his friends yelled it in front of me once and I couldn't help but adopt the nickname and use it as my own. He used to come sit with me and my friends at lunch and of course Rosalie and Marie would joke about the constant flirting between us. Me talking and flirting with him also made weird conversations between me and Jacob. Not weird in an uncomfortable way more of he saw us flirting once and hasn't let it go. It was honestly great to say the least. One of the best times I've had, that's at least what I thought.

He started to go rogue, he barely would talk to me and when he would it was to tell me he was busy. Exams were happening so my dumb ambitious chopped it up to him being stress and worrying about the exams. Though I still couldn't figure out why he would never sit with me anymore at lunch and it seemed like he was trying to avoid me at any cost. So I had decided that I would talk to Jacob about it as I wanted answers and Caleb wasn't giving them to me. So the next time I saw Jacob I shoved him into an ally way the school has and started to interrogate him. He was always a little protective over me which was good sometimes but not when it was to keep answers that I needed away from me to spare a few feelings.

This is how it basically went:

"Why's he being so distant?" I could have asked him in a less harsh tone but I was mad and I wanted answers.

"A it's probably just from exams don't worry about it." I could see him holding something back and I was determined to get it out of him.

"What are you not telling me?"

"Nothing it's honestly not that big a deal."

"Save the feeling saving and just tell me."

"It's not my place to tell you A."

"You're the one who told me I should talk to him so actually it kind of is."

"A, please, he's the one who is supposed to tell you not me."

"Whats so bad that you can't tell me yourself? What did he find another girl to talk to? If so it's not that big of a deal."

"A, he has a girlfriend."

"Oh okay. Well I hope he's happy with her and I hope he makes her happy."

"A, you don't have to put up a brave face around me you know that."

"I'm not putting up a brave face. It was bound to happen eventually anyway. I just wish he would have told me before he blocked me out."

"You do realize that we are skipping class and that your teacher will have your head right?"

"Yea" I nodded my head in agreement, Ms. Bird would have my head but I couldn't care less because I genuinely was hurt by the fact he had a girlfriend but more so that he didn't tell me. Eventually Jacob took off to his class after trying desperately to get me to mine and failing. I did however skip Ms.Bird's class but I didn't get caught. It was the last period of the day anyway so when the bell went off I made it over to Jacob who gave me a ride home as usual. He was always nice to me which I was extremely grateful for.

We'll see how fast I'll get over him.
