Not So Perfect

Chapter 8

Last night I had slept soundly, and woke up refreshed and whole again, Sage must have felt the same too because his mood was bright, always being sweet to me all through breakfast. He looked different too, like he could relax again, his eyes were brighter and his smile was breath taking....

“Callie!” Tori's call brought me out of my thoughts. 

“hey Tor,” I hugged her and when she pulled back and assessed me, she grinned. “you look different.”

“different?” my eyes narrowed. 

“yeah…your eyes…they look…bright!” she glanced over at Sage, he was leaning against the drivers door checking out the girls most probably. “he looks like it too, how strange,” she murmured.

I gave her a weird look, hmm....strange...

“Hey Cal,” Hunters voice went by, I looked up and saw him and Cole walking past us on the pavement.

“hey,” I called. Then I remebered mine and Cole's bonding, "Hey Cole?!" He turned around eyeing me suspiciously.

“yeah?” he asked lazily.

“you know our art-“

“whatever Cal, talk about it later,” he said abruptly and turned back around walking off.

Woah. He had changed his attitude. keep your hair on!

Sage came up behind me. “ignore him Cal,”

I nod slowely and look at him, he was gazing down at me thoughtfully. I met his eyes and his expression changed into light and easy, flicking my hair out my eyes, He smiles down at me, "come on Cal, lessons...which have I got with you?" 

I grin. Me and Tori compare our timetables to his, I had 2 lessons with him today, 1st and 3rd and 5th Tori had one which was 3rd so we were altogether that lesson luckily.

The bell went loudly and students started off towards their lesson pushing past us, i catched a few girls lock eyes with Sage and he returned it with a hungry look. oh jeez. 

“come on Cal, See you at Lunch Tori,” Sage said politely and rushed me way from her. She frowned but went in her direction on her own. Shit.

“hey, we cant just leave Tori like that, she is my friend too,” I told him in a defensive voice.

He rolled his eyes, “ok, whatever Cal, how about me?” Why did i suddenly find him irriating?

“you know you’ll always come first but I do care about Tori, I don’t just want to ditch her now your here, it would be totally unfair.” I explain in a snappy voice. Oh no.

He pulls me towards the classroom, he hasn’t forgotten the school layout... freaky.

“I thought you were in a good mood?" he asked frowning at me. "You can still hang out with her, I’ll probably be with my other friends anyway,” he told me.

Jealousy swept through me and I pushed it back, annoyed. Girls, he meants. Surrounded by girls. 

“I know…I'm sorry, I just feel bad,” I sighed.

He gets the classroom right, not that I'm concentrating and we sit down at a desk. He plays with my fingers while I stare at his face. He looks gorgeous today with dark expensive blue jeans, with a matching light blue shirt that is fitted to show his abs, his hair is styled with gel, god, he looked amazing...

“your too nice,” he murmured referring back to our earlier conversation.

I looked away towards the door where Cole came through with a different girl, a brunette red head but this time she was really pretty. Unlike the other blonde who looked fake.
