Dallas

When the teacher tells us that class is dismissed, Caelyn bolts out of  class.

I quickly run after her, trying to find where she ran off.  That's when I spot her throwing her bag in the back of the truck and trying to get in the drivers seat quickly.

"Hey, Caelyn!"  She looks over to see who called her name and when she sees me it looks like  she's trying to move faster.

I run over to her truck and grab her by the shoulder.

"Don't touch me!"  She hisses in between clenched teeth.

Ok maybe not my best move to just grab her.

"Okay, okay, you're right I never should have grabbed you.  But, why do you keep avoiding me?" 

She just looks at me like I'm the stupidist piece of shit alive. 

"I just don't think someone like you can change.  You were a jerk in junior high and your a jerk now.  You probably just want to get down my pants, right"

Wow, that was  a major blow.  That actually really hurt.

"No, Caelyn I-"

But she doesn't give me a chance to finish, as she shuts the trucks door and drives off.

As I walk back to my dorm, I see Liv walk over to me.  God the last thing I wanted was to have to see her today.  

Liv was a girl I dated in high school.  We hooked up a lot back then, but that's when I started to change.  Well, she didn't like that.

I told her that I didn't want to be in a relationship with her anymore.  Classic bithch she is, she didn't take that to well.

She said if I broke up with her, she'd tell everyone my secrets.  At first that threat meant something to me.

But that blonde little bimbo didn't see it coming when about a month later I said whatever and didn't care.  The look on her face!

Anyways she's still trying to get me back, even after five years of me saying no.

"Hey, Dallas!". She saunters over and I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

"Hey Liv, I'm really not in the mood for your games."

"What games?"  She asks like she really doesn't have a clue.

What a ditz.

I sigh.  This is the last thing I wanted to deal with. 

"You know what?  Leave me the hell alone, Liv.  I am never going to date or hook up with you again."

"You'll pay for this Dallas, I'll find whatever girl's making you act like this and tell her everything.  That bitch will never see what hit her."

I grab her by her shoulders and force her to look at me.

"Don't you ever call her a bitch again, got it?"

She looks at me with amusment dancing in her eyes.

"Thanks for proving to me that there really is a girl.  it wont take me long at all to figure out which one it is." 

She saunters off and that's when I realize what I've done.

Liv Summers always gets what she wants, and if she wants to tell Caelyn everything, I'm officially scewed.

I finally get to the dorm that Ty and I share.  I open the door and slam it shut.  Ty looks up from his statistics homework to see what's up.

"Liv?"  He phrases it like a question, but he knows he doesn't have to ask.  He already knows.

"Shit, yes.  She asked me to hook up with her again.  When I told her that I was done, and that she shouldn't botherr me again, she asked who the bitch was and I got pissed.  She knew that would be my reaction so when I told her to never say that again, I just confirmed her suspitions."

"Damn, dude.  I know that Liv's been a big problem for you, but you have to let it go.  All that stuff was from the past.  You need to get over your shit before you even try something with Caelyn."

Ty was right.  I sighed as I shoved a hand in my hair and ran my fingers through it.

"I know, I just can't stand Liv anymore, trust me you should know."

Ty glared at me for this.  After Liv started realizing that she couldn't just win me back easily, she started threatening my friends.

She told me that if I didn't get back together with her, she would find away to make Ty and Kailey break up.

I told Ty about this as soon as I found out.  He didn't want me to be miserable all the time because I was forced to be with her.  Ty told.me he would deal with it.

So ever since, poor Ty and Kailey's relationship has been put on the down low.  Its a secret and basically the only people that know about it is me and possibly Caelyn, I don't know though.

"Why'd you let it slip, man."  Tyler asks, while he turns back too his statistics.

"I was is in a fit of rage, what did you want me to do.  I just couldn't stand the thought of someone calling her a bitch. 

Tyler looks up from his homework with a raised eyebrow. 

"Says the one who teased her all through junior high."

"That was different Ty-"

"No it wasn't.  She obviously wanted you to stop if she rocked your

jaw."

I let out a sigh and run a hand through my hair.  Having her back. has got me so fucking confused.  I don't know what to do anymore.

"Listen, dude.  If you really like her, its gonna take going through hell and back to convince her.  Trust me."

Tyler was right again and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to convince Caelyn.
