Chapter 2. CALEB

I ran after Sydney but she just slammed the door in my face.

"Syd!" I tried to call her but she wouldn't answer. I sighed and just sat outside the door the whole night, waiting for Sydney to come out so I could apologize.

I guess she had a really strong bladder, because she didn't make an appearance all night.

I stayed up for hours thinking to myself 'Do I really like Sydney that way?' I mean, I guess so, but not that much...I like her more as a friend, plus Luke would kill me if I dated his sister.

I kept thinking to myself all these thoughts until I fell asleep, sitting next to Annie's bedroom door, also thinking about how I could make it up to Sydney.

•••

I woke up suddenly to the door opening. I bounced up and smiled at Sydney. "Good morning, Sydney. Look, we need to ta—"

Sydney just shoved me aside and walked past me.

"Sorry," Annie whispered to me. "Syd! Wait up!" She called after Sydney.

I sighed and raked my hand through my hair before I went downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast.

"Good morning Caleb! How'd you sleep?" Mom asked while filming me coming downstairs.

I shrugged. I didn't want to tell Mom that Sydney and I got into an 'argument' last night, or whatever it was.

"What does that mean?" Hayley asked.

I shrugged again.

Mom turned off the camera and set it down. "Is everything okay, Caleb?"

I nodded and put up a fake smile. "Yep! All good! Now what's for breakfast?"

Just as I sat down Annie and Sydney came back into the room. I guess for my Mom's sake, Sydney pretended that nothing was wrong by smiling and sitting next to me and saying, "Good morning Caleb!"

At first I was confused, so all I did was awkwardly smile and wave. But when I looked over at Sydney, I saw how beautiful she was. Her smile could light up a room, her laugh made me happy, and she was just a kind person overall...

Okay, I know you're all probably like, "Caleb, just go out with her!", but I don't know. I like her, but it could be a temporary crush. Like last year I had a crush on Annie's friend Katie, but now I just like her as a friend. She's like a second sister to me. I'm afraid that how I feel about Sydney will turn into how I feel about Katie now.

See? It's all so complicated!

"Morning, Sydney. Did you sleep well?" I asked as Mom put the scrambled eggs serving bowl in front of me.

"Oh, I slept perfectly." Sydney replied as I dumped a serving of eggs onto my plate.

She took the serving bowl and thanked me while dumping a serving onto her plate. Now, I don't know if she's pretending to be mad at me anymore, because 1) I'm irresistible, and 2) she's not looking at me with the anger hidden in her eyes. She's looking at me like...like she forgives me.

After Mom, Hayley, and Annie left the room and we were finished with breakfast, Sydney grabbed my hand and took me down to my room.

She slammed the door shut and said, "We need to talk, now."

"What about?" I asked, pretending to be clueless.

"Oh, you know what! About last night! Look, I'm really sorry, I guess I just overreacted because I'm not used to guys actually liking me and—"

Before Sydney could finish her sentence, I interrupted by grabbing her face and pulling it towards mine. Then, the moment you've all been waiting for, I smacked my lips against hers.

At first she did nothing but let me kiss her, then she kissed me back. We kissed slowly and gently for a few seconds before she pulled away, our noses touching and our lips centimeters apart. I just wanted to kiss her again.

"What was that for?" She whispered.

"I had to finish what I semi-started yesterday." I said as I placed my lips on hers again.

We kissed again, slowly and gently, before she mumbled against my lips, "I love you, Caleb Logan."

"I love you, too, Sydney whatever-your-middle-name-is." I said as I pulled away and grinned at her.

She smiled, then said, "Shut up and kiss me."

She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me back in as she smacked her lips against mine. I have to admit, Sydney is a good kisser.

We kissed some more until she pulled away. "I'm sorry, I got carried away."

"Me too." I said breathlessly.

"Caleb, are you sure you're not doing this just for me? Because I know you're a sweet guy and you'd do anything to make me, or any girl for that matter, happy." Sydney said.

Was I sure? No. I wasn't sure if this was a temporary crush or not. But if it is or isn't, I'm still taking the chance.

Sure, I could break Sydney's heart and have my face broken by Luke, but it was worth a shot.

And for any pain I'd cause Sydney, I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life.

But I'm willing to take that risk.

"No, I'm not sure." I admitted to Sydney. "But I'm willing to take the risk to see what my feelings lead to."

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Positive."

"So, are we boyfriend and girlfriend?" She asked.

I nodded. "Yes we are, Princess."

She smiled and hugged me, and we walked out of my room, ready to tell everyone the big news.
