CHAPTER TEN

Chapter song: Abel Chungu- Ichitemwiko

Caleb: what if there wasn't a tomorrow? What if we all died tonight? Our time will come whether we like it or not. Our main characters should have been honest with each other and told each other how they felt. They should have lived in the moment and maybe things would have been better
Me: I object! I mean not everyone can express how they really feel about someone.
Teacher: proceed
Me: Well it's easy for some people to come out and show how they feel for someone but it's rare. So our main characters did not act out of ignorance or self pity but out of natural fear
Caleb: natural fear?
Me: yes natural fear. It's not like they do it on purpose it's just one of those things
Caleb: well I disagree
5 other classmates: yeah me too
Me: well I stand by my point
Almost every girl: yes!
Caleb: wait so what your saying is its okay that our main characters ended up in different beds instead of actually falling in love and staying in one bed together
Me: Yes
Caleb: why?
Me: because some beds are dangerous
Teacher: explain
Me: not everyone is to be trusted who knows they probably wouldn't have been happy together so I feel it's okay they went there different ways
Caleb: even after he did everything to love and protect her?
Me: killing people is no way of showing love!

Everyone stares at me with confused expression, obviously because what I just said does not relate to what the book talks about. Stupid Caleb this is all your fault

Destar: oh wait I get it now. Because Drake did some many things that broke him for Christa so he was killing himself and your saying nobody should do that for love, right?
Me: Ah yes that's exactly what I meant

The class then drop their stares and then concentrate on the teacher who begin to about the book and the points me and Caleb put out. The day was already feeling heavy on me, I couldn't stop thinking about the fact that he actually killed people and was here okay with everything.

The day is finally over and I pack my stuff and say goodbye to my co workers. Walking out of the restaurant with headsets plugged in me ears but am disturbed by a really loud sound. It was a car. I turn to see who it was but I couldn't because the windows where tinted but for some reason I wasn't so scared because I felt like it was someone I probably knew. And just as I suspected, the car parks on the side of the road and Caleb walks out of it. I continue to walk and pretended like I hadn't seen him because his the last person I wanna see after embarrassing myself earlier. But am immediately distributed from my thoughts when I feel a strong grip around my waist pulling me back. I turn to him with a dozen of insults but before I could say anything, my words find no way out when my eyes meet his. He was staring at me in a way that made me feel paralyzed. What on earth are u doing to me Ashton. He then pulled my waist closer to him leaving no space between us and then pressing his lips onto mine. I do not stop him but instead we go on for while, until I pushed him away to catch my breathe. I then turn to him with a confused expression on my face.

Caleb: it's getting late can I give you a rid home?
Me: Ah yeah, sure

We get into his car and he drives off. I still couldn't believe what just happened so I just sat next to him quiet. He notices that I am a little tensed up and so he decided to be the first one to break the silence

Caleb: am not going to apologise for the kiss
Me: excuse me
Caleb: you may have not wanted me to but I know you needed me too
Me: (laughing) wow, your ridiculous
Caleb: what's funny?
Me: you thinking am angry with you
Caleb: oh, so your okay with me kissing you?
Me: am not okay with it I just know it was something stupid, neither of us meant for it to happen
Caleb: wait, so your saying our kiss meant nothing to you?
Me: am saying you kissing me was a mistake and it can be forgotten
Caleb: well I don't agree with you
Me: you say that a lot you know
Caleb: I don't believe this, I mean after that scene you caused in class
Me: what do you mean?
Caleb: oh come on I know you were talking about us instead of the book
Me: (laughing) don't flatter yourself Caleb
