Chapter 1: The Mistake
School ugh I wish it was over already. Our teacher Mr. Vermont is just droning on and on it's practically putting me to sleep.
Ring Ring the shrill bell went finally. It's the end of the day meaning party time.
"B wait up" Craig shouted from behind me.
"Hey Craig what's up?" I smiled.
"Not much can't wait for the party at your house," he smirked.
"Yeah yeah. You just prefer my house being used so that you don't have to clean up a huge mess," I laughed.
"True True."
Craig's my best friend and next door neighbor. We've known each other since we were babies and are practically family. Everyone thinks we will fall in love, but that will never happen. I think of Craig as an annoying brother.
"Hey B. Snap out of dream land. I know I'm hot and all, but you've lived with this perfection for years you should be used to it by now," I just smirked at that.
"Sorry Craig honey. But you just don't do anything for me," I drawled in my fake Texas accent.
"Maybe Craig doesn't, but what about me Belphina?" Cavien asked daring to use my full name.
"Craig can you get your idiot clone away from me," I snapped. Cavien and I don't really see eye to eye.
"Honey you know your just pretending to hate me," he said right into my ear making me shiver in disgust.
"Seriously Craig unless if you want to explain to your parents why they have to fly home for your twins funeral I suggest you get him out of my sight," I growled.
"Cav just leave her alone. I know it hurts your ego being the only guy other then me that B hasn't played yet. But get over it she sees me as family and you as the pet she has to tolerate," Craig said laughing.
"Rai why do you always side with her. I'm your twin brother yet you side with this slut," he hissed. I didn't bother denying it the whole school knew I got around. I'm the biggest player at this school.
"Cav she's like a sister to me and you know it. I don't understand why you 2 can't get along. When we were younger everyone called us the 3 musketeer's," he's not joking.
"Look Craig let's just go to my house and get ready for the party. Cavien just probably wants to be alone. He can't stand being turned down yet again," I said smirking as I left.
Craig doesn't know what happened between us. I don't think anyone, but Cavien and I do. It was 3 years ago when we were 14.
Flashback
"Cav you can't find me," I sang from the tree.
Rai was sick and Cav and I decided we'd play hide and seek even though we had just started high school.
"Ya I will Bell you just wait and see," he laughed.
It was comical watching him go back and forth. This old park really did have good hiding places. We'd actually started off by exploring around the riverbank and found this abandoned park by a highway. It was cool and our little secret.
"Found you," Cav said popping out of nowhere. I screamed and almost fell out of the tree.
"Cav you scared me half to death," I shouted at him.
"Sorry Bell," he said smiling.
We climbed down from the tree and I stood against the tree with my eyes closed counting. I had gotten to ten when I felt a soft pressure on my lips. My eyes snapped open and I saw Cav in front of me and we were kissing. Well he was kissing me and I wasn't responding. Pulling away he blushed.
