Truth... or Dare?

8= I Love You

Katie's PoV

We arrived at my house. I changed clothes, and went downstairs. I sat beside Caleb, since that was the only seat, and I ate in silence. They were talking, but I didn't jump in their conversation. I was used to eating and staying in my room. They didn't bother me at all, and that was great.

"Kates? You alright?" Caleb asked as I sat down on the swing in the backyard.

"Uh, yes. Yes." I replied, looking down and moving a bit.

"Okay." he sat next to the swing I was on. Silence filled the air. I looked at my shoes and thought of possible things that might happen at this very moment.

"I really like you, a lot. You mean the world to me." Caleb suddenly blurted out, which made me blush. I didn't say a word. I was too happy and too shocked at the same time.

"I, I..." "Hey, meet me at the dock tomorrow. I'll tell you something." He smiled and got up.

I got up, too, and when he was about to walk, I hugged him. "Thanks for talking to me, today. If you didn't I would still be in my room, eating and crying my eyes out. Thank you so, so much." I said with a huge grin on my face. He messed up my hair and smiled back. "I have to go." He whispered. "I don't wanna let go." I whispered back.

"You'll see me tomorrow." He rubbed my back. "Goodbye." He mumbled and I let go. "Goodbye." I replied, and without my mind's approval, I kissed him on the cheek. He was tall for me.

He waved, with a huge smile on his face and left. I stood there, frozen. I kissed him on the cheek! What was I thinking?!

I went inside my room, locked the door, and caused a little tantrum by jumping and trying to break my pillow. I was freaking out.

It's funny how a single conversation could make you alright again, forgetting what happened and forgetting the fights.

I thought about Caleb, as always, and soon drifted to sleep, hoping tomorrow wouldn't be bad.

I woke up to someone jumping on my bed. "KATIEEEE!" Caleb whisper yells. "Oh you're already awake." He laid beside me. I placed my blanket on top of my head. "Oh, so you want me to jump on your bed again." He whispered. "I want to sleep." I mumbled and closed my eyes.

"C'mon! We have a day to spend!" He stood up. "Alright." I sat up and pinched his cheek. "Okay, you can leave my room now." I chuckled. He smiled and followed.

I wore a crop top and shorts, already wearing my bathing suit since we were going to swim as we get there. I packed a bag full of clothes and stuff, similar to what I pack for sleepovers.

"FINALL-- oh Katie you look gorgeous." Annie said, sitting on the couch and making herself at home. "I'm just wearing what I usually wear, how did I become gorgeous?" I chuckled. Caleb hasn't looked at me yet. He was focused on what he's playing, and hasn't turned around since all I see is his back. "Well, you aren't a mess right now." She joked. "OH ANNIE!" Brennan jumped. "Yeah?" Annie replied. He whispered something to her, but she doesn't seem surprised at all. "You're late, Caleb al-- WAIT, KATIE LIKES HIM?" Brennan nodded. "OH YASS!" She started to jump. Then Annie whispers to Brennan. "I knew it."

"What? Who do I like?" I said, confused. "Who does Katie like?" Caleb looked at me. "It starts with Y." Annie lied. We're going to have a fight again. "Oh, alright." He looked back at his phone with a sad expression. He's jealous.

"So right now, we're waiting for Ryan and Hayley to come out of-- Oh they're here now." Mrs. Katie started to vlog. "Okay, let's go in the car."

We followed. Caleb still has a sad expression on his face. Annie and Brennan was beside each other, Hayley and Ryan, then me and Caleb was at the back.
