Too Good To Be True

Chapter Fifteen

The hot steam from the water covered the mirror which made it hard for me to see myself. I was still fully naked with only my white towel covering my lower body.

I grabbed my comb and blow dryer trying to speed the process of getting ready so I could have time for breakfast. I began heading toward my closest to pick my outfit of the day but instead I went towards Zuko who lazily laid on my bed.

Getting distracted by my puppy was common considering he was to adorable to ignore especially in the morning since I had to go to school.

I finished putting on my clothes and started walking to the kitchen. Like always, mom was awake up and early like usual making breakfast. I had on a dark grey Nike hoodie with dark blue jeans and black shoes.

"Hey mom," I said coming closer to give her a kiss on the forehead. "Good morning Caleb, you seem in a good mood." She mentioned as a smile started forming on her face while handing me my plate. "Yeah, I actually feel great today." I sat down on a stool by the kitchen counter.

"Well that's good go ahead and eat, don't want my son going to school on an empty stomach." She handed me a plate with delightful food.

"Thanks mom, I love you." I stated giving her a bright smile.

Once I finished eating I went into my car and turned up the volume for the music. I backed out the drive way onto the road and drove towards school. Coming to the first stop light; I received a phone call. "Hello?"

"Hi, Caleb." I heard a deep voice say as he called out my name.

"Who's this?" I asked in a serious tone.

"It's good to hear your voice." Was his next words.

"You didn't answer my question. I said who's this?" At this point I was getting frustrated at the fact that this was happening right now but at the same time I was curious to know who was on the other end of the line.

"Who I am is not important right now..." He said not wanting to give me a name. "Why are you calling me? " I asked giving him a tone.

"Meet me at a park that's closest to your school." He then mentioned.

"How do you know what school I go to?" I asked now feeling a bit weirded out. The strange man that was on the phone ended the call leaving most of my questions unanswered except giving me a place to meet him. I started to think and wonder if this was a trap. I needed to be careful if I decided go to that destination. I started driving toward my school but instead took a turn and finally made up my mind and went to the park. I then got out and stayed standing there watching the time as I waited.
