A Tragic Love Story

Chapter Seven

Caleb's POV

"Ian get the hell away from her!" I screamed in the busy high school hall. Everyone looked at me like I was a madman.

"Caleb, you should be resting! Go home," Josie stated while walking towards me. She had confusion in her eyes, for no one knew why I was yelling at Ian,

"You can fuck with me, you can jump me, but don't you dare go near her! This shit is between you and me. Don't drag my best fucking friend into this!" I boomed, staring staggers into Ian's soul.

"Caleb what are you talking about? I was just tutoring Ian, I told Ms. Mendler I would help her," Josie informed me. I quickly looked at her. I just made an ass out myself.... because she was tutoring him.

"Dude chill, I wasn't boutta bring Josie into this. I need to get my grade up if I wanna stay on the team. You need to shut your god damn mouth though," Ian said with a smug smile. He liked to see me look like a dumbass.

"Yeah seriously what the hell were you talking about?" Josie asked, still confused.

"Um, can we go somewhere, just me and you?" I asked, quieting my voice, trying to not draw anymore attention to me. She nodded and I grabbed her hand. We went into an empty classroom. I shut the door behind her and was automatically bombarded with questions.

"What the hell was he talking about, Caleb? Is he the one who did this to you?" she was trying not to cry, I could tell.

"So you know that bet thing Alexa was talking about?" Josie nodded her head, eagerly. "Well that bet was made by Ian. We were just fucking around one day, saying who could get the most girls to fall for them. The loser had to pay up $500. After I kissed you, I forfeited the game and refused to pay up. That's why he jumped me," I said, pacing. She looked at me, her face was emotionless.

"I can get you the $500, but I need you to tell me one thing," she replied while sighing and closing those beautiful eyes of hers. "Was I part of this bet at first?"

"God no! I'd never do that to you. Like I said, I'm done with the damn bet, I love you and I don't need any other girl!" I said, grabbing her hands. She pulled them out of my grip.

"I'll get you the money," she mumbled while grabbing her backpack. "I'll see you after school."

"Wait Josie don't leave," I begged. She turned around and my lips came crashing down on hers.

Josie's POV

I was filled with that tingly feeling again. This kiss was more intense than any of our others. It felt way different. I pulled away when I needed to breathe.

"I'll see you after school," I said once again. I sped walked out of the classroom, imagining how red I was right now. I was looking down when I rammed into someone.

"Shit... er.... sorry," I heard a familiar voice say. I looked up to find Ian. I lifted my hand and slapped his cheek.

"How dare you fuck with my best friend? You put him in the fucking hospital. Stay the fuck away from me. Have fun failing calculus," I partially yelled. I stomped away, feeling his glare on my back. I headed to my class and sat next to Yessica.

"Ooooooh girl you look pissed," she said, elongating the s in pissed. 

"Yeah, I am. I kind of just slapped Ian and my hand really hurts," I confided. She burst out laughing.

"Ian? As in Ian the soccer player?" she asked, still dying of laughter.

"Yeah," I admitted, blushing again.
