El is for love

Chapter Two- Sorry Hayes

At lunch, I waved Caleb over to our usual table. He walked over to us quickly after spotting us.

"So this is Caleb." I said to my friends

Hayes waved while Jade just nodded in recognition before continuing to scroll through Instagram on her phone.

"Caleb this is Jade and Hayes."

Caleb waved at them awkwardly. Jade looked up from her phone and looked at Caleb as if she was inspecting him for any impurities. Then turned to me giving an almost invisible nod of satisfaction before turning back towards Caleb smirking.

"So Caleb... any special girl in your life?"

I could feel myself turning red. That bitch! Why would she say that?

Caleb just laughed good-naturedly before shaking his head.

"Na, not really-that is unless my sisters count?"

Jade rolled her eyes before winking at me discreetly.

"Great, great..." she muttered before going back to scrolling through Instagram. Hayes took this opportunity to start talking to Caleb.

"So how are you liking it here?" he asked casually while taking a bite of his hamburger.

But it didn't seem casual enough.
He probably likes him.
I should tell him later about my crush.

Meanwhile, Caleb started answering the question.

"It's pretty good. Really different. Less people but I got a new phone out of it."

Hayes nodded thinking.

"Where were you before this?"

"NYC."

"NEW - FUCKING YORK CITY?!" screamed Hayes "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU LEAVE?!"

I winced at how loud Hayes was screaming. By now probably half the cafeteria was looking at us. I gave Hayes a pointed look sending him a silent message.
Can you be any fucking louder? He rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out at me, sending another silent message back at me.
To you want me to test?

"My parents wanted to go somewhere quieter for my siblings' childhoods." Caleb continued as I snapped out of my stare with Hayes. "Well that's what they said, anyways, but I think it's 'cause they're sick of the hustle and bustle of New York City."

-----------------------------------------

After school, I threw my bag down and laid down on my bed.

"Fucking hell." I muttered

I grabbed a bag of chips before disappearing upstairs to start my homework. I cracked open my laptop and started on some English homework. I was about halfway through my essay when I heard my phone buzz. I looked down and smiled when I saw who it was from.

CALEB =)

Hey! What's up?

Taking a break from my homework I turned my attention towards my phone. Shakespeare could wait

EL

Nm. Hbu?

CALEB =)

Just homework. This english is WAY too much. I'm dead and it's literally the first day. How the hell do you even live?

I laughed.
