Only You

Chapter 17: Goodbye Girl

I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling for a while. I don't remember falling asleep, maybe the music did help me at the end. I check my phone and the battery is dead, I don't know what time it is and even though I got several hours of sleep I feel tired, and still sad.

I don't want to go to school, I don't want to see those traitors and I don't want to deal with my teachers.

I get up from the couch and go to the kitchen to check the time. I look at the microwave and it's nine o'clock. Oh my God it's nine in the morning, I'm so late for school. Damn it. How couldn't someone wake me up? I run upstairs to my room and change my clothes, I put my hair in a ponytail and as fast as I can I grab all my things and rush out the door.

I can't believe I slept so much time, and why didn't my parents or my sister wake me up? They weren't in the house when I left, so that means they did saw me sleeping there on the couch, they're just so weird.

I hear the bell ringing as I enter to my classroom. At least I'll get to attend to the rest of my classes. I sit down and try to calm myself, I feel my heart beating a million times each minute, like if I should've finished a ten mile long marathon.

I see Caleb entering and we both smile to each other.

"Hey." He says. He puts his backpack on the floor and then sits down.

"Hello." I say and smile again. I'm trying my best to control myself because he is a nice guy and I don't want my negative thoughts to damage his good mood.

"You look-", he analyzes my face and tries to find the right words to describe me.

"Tired? Exhausted? Fucked up?" I suggest a few options.

"Well those were strong words. I'll say you look different." Caleb says and I laugh, "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, just a little tired." I honestly say.

The teacher comes in and starts talking about our upcoming projects. I feel my eyes closing more and more with each word he says, I hope he doesn't notice. After thirty minutes of him talking and talking, he dismisses us early, and I mentally thank him from the bottom of my heart.

I feel as if my head was going to explode a few minutes from now. Caleb looks at me and he knows that I'm feeling terrible, but he's too nice to tell me the opposite.

I remember two weeks ago, Stella and I were making fun of a song and we invented a little choreograph to it. One of the moves was moving our feet fast like in a football wide sprint, first the right foot stepping an inch up from the ground and then the same with the left leg in a fast motion, and also moving the butt at the sound of the song, it was pretty funny. The thing is that when I was about to enter to my classroom, she tells me to do the little dance with her, and there was no one in there so I joined her, and that's when I heard a tiny little noise, I stopped and I turned around and find Caleb sitting there in the classroom. Stella looked embarrassed, but it was as if she was embarrassed for me not of her because he only was seeing me. I was laughing so hard on the inside but red as a tomato on the outside. I took a seat beside him and he didn't tell me anything, like if nothing had happened, and I'm glad because it would've been pretty odd and embarrassing for me.

We walk outside and sit on a table to talk and eat our lunch. I swear he is one of the funniest persons in the whole world, he's so perverted, but in a good way. He says so many unusual, weird, pervert jokes and references but they're so funny, I literally feel a six pack coming on from laughing so hard when I'm with him. Meeting him was amazing because I have guy friends but I'm not that close to them, we talk and everything but Caleb just overpasses the border.
