He's Just Out Of My Limit (Cake Story)

Chapter Three

I walked into Mercy High earlier then before, looking around. Karen texted me two minutes later.

From: Karen :D

Hey Cal! Sorry I can't be there today! My mom is making me do errands with Kathie today. Tomorrow's okay right?

I smiled, and texted her back.

To: Karen :D

It's fine Karebear, I'll be waiting at the front gate tomorroooow. cx

She texted back in an instant.

From: Karen :D

Loser. Love you! As a frooond. *Insert Frond Picture* show that to Michael for me. I haven't seen him since yesterday.

I texted back an okay and locked my phone, shoving it into my bag.

Then I bumped into someone. Please be Mikey. Please be Mikey. I looked up to see....

LUKE?! I stumbled back a bit, hitting my locker.

"What's wrong fag? Karen not here to help you today?"He laughed.

"S-She's busy."I replied, quietly.

"L-Luke you shouldn't get near him."Ashton pointed out. Wrong answer Ashton, he's going to hurt me anyways.

"Too bad. Karen's not here and I'm glad."He smirked down at me. I closed my eyes, and felt pain going through my hips and below.

"Hey! Get away from him!"I heard Michael yell.

"L-Luke."Ashton warned again.

I felt him kick me again, and leave. I opened my eyes, shaking violently.

"Calum! You okay?"Michael helped me up, and I almost stumbled down.

"I'm fine.."I whispered. At least my face is okay.

"I'll call Karen."He mumbled, taking his phone out.

"Hmmmmmmmm? Karen speaking."I heard her voice say.

"It's Calum..."He said quietly.

"I'm coming I'll tell my mom I just finished. Which I did. I'll be there in 15 with Kathie."She replied and hung up.

"You met Kathie already Cal?"He grinned at me.

"Yeah she's cool."I smiled.

I heard the door open, and see two figures walk in.

"Nice seeing you again Calum."Kathie grinned.

"What about me."Michael pouted, making the girls laugh.

"You okay Cal?"Karen stepped up to me, looking at my figure.

"I should be now."I smiled softly.

"C'mon! Stoppp!"Kathie laughed.

"Until you say hi Michael."Michael tickled her more.

"H-Hi Michael! There!"Kathie laughed more. Michael pried his hands off her hips and smiled in victory.

"Are you sure?"Karen took my hand, squeezing it lightly.

"We're taking you guys home today."Kathie smiled, tugging on Michael's arm.

"I'm going to call Austin."He threatened.

"No! Please!"She pleaded.

"Austin?"I asked Karen.

"Mahone. He's Kathie's closet friend and crushhh. He goes to our school."She smiled.

"Ooooh. He's a good kid."I laughed.

"Kathie, let go."Michael spoke.

"Fine. Rude ass."Kathie pouted.

"I'll see you later Kathie! I'm taking Calum to Michael's and maybe staying there okay?"Karen called to her.

She nodded, "Gotcha Karebear! See you lats!"She laughed, walking out of the school.

"Let's just get going."Michael said, helping me with Karen out to the car.

"Don't you threaten her again, Michael."Karen mumbled, getting into the back with me.

"Buuuut."

"No more buts. I'm going to leave you."She threats.

"Noooo."

"Hey Cal? Did Ashton like stutter a bit warning Luke?"Karen looked up at me.

My eyes widened and nodded, "Yeah? What was that all about?"

"Oh long story short. Me and Ashton use to be best friends until he chose Luke over me and he's still scared of me being mad at him?"She questioned the end.

"I saw that.."I nodded, as Michael started driving to his place.

~~~

We got onto Michael's couch and Karen stood up.

"Shirt off now."She commanded. I nodded, taking off my shirt looking down at a small bruise forming on my hip.

"Michael ice pack."She turned to Michael. He saluted, walking into the kitchen and Karen kneeled down to my hip.

"You said you were okay."She mumbled.

"I am. It doesn't hurt, but it's numb."I replied, and Michael chucked an ice pack at Karen's face. She caught it placing it on my hip, then tackling Michael.

"DOOOOONT."She exclaimed, making me laugh.

"OW!"He whined, but I looked at his face. He looked happy.

"Bad Michael."She scolded, getting up.

"Bad Karen."He mocked her.

"I'm going to slap you silly Clifford!"She yelled, tackling him again.

~~~

I woke up, rubbing my eyes. I looked down to see the ice pack still on my bare hip. I sat up, and placed the ice pack on the bruised hip. Looking around the room, I was still in the living room. It looks like a mess, once again this is Michael's house, it should be a bit of a mess. A movie was playing in the DVR. And I looked down, I saw Michael and Karen on the floor, sleeping. I smiled at Michael who was fast asleep, next to Karen, one arm wrapped around her waist and the other, laying on the floor.

Karen looked so peaceful, as she snored quietly. Her hair in a ponytail, with her jacket on top of her like a blanket. Her head was laying on Michael's chest using it as a pillow.

I almost shut my eyes, as they wanted sleep. But it's been two hours and school is into second period.

"Good whatever time it is..."Karen mumbled, rubbing her eyes. She saw me awake, and her cheeks became a light pink.

"It's still morning."I laughed. Michael threw something at me, wanting to sleep. Karen moved away from Michael sitting next to me.

"Good. It's 11 isn't it?"She looked up, at the clock.

"Yup. Mikey should wake up yah know."I smiled at her.

"Yeah."She giggled and her phone started ringing.

"Blocked number?"I asked her, looking at her expression.

"Yeah. I know who this is."She mumbled, a small smile appearing on her lips.

"Who?"
