Save him

12~ Wake up call

"Shush! They're sleeping and they look adorable!" Some girl squealed I cringed and opened my eyes "Oh my god did I wake her?" The female voiced asked again, I looked around and saw a girl with blond hair and pink tips and Jason next to her. "Um..hi" I said awkwardly, the girl smiled brightly

"Hey! Im Jemma, your brothers girlfriend" She smiled "I have heard so much about you" She chirped WAIT GIRLFRIEND?! "Funny never heard about you, Jason..." I glared at him and he grinned sheepishly in return.

"Well...Jemma has been my girlfriend for a month and I only got back a few days ago never got the chance to tell you sorry sis...oh don't forget you have school and your gonna be late" I looked at the time and got up then noticed why Jemma was saying something was adorable, Caleb was sleeping RIGHT next to me. Oh my god....

"I will see you later" I mumble walking away from Caleb. I saw Emily with two girls her back facing me so I walked up to her and was about to tap her shoulder "Yah Kristina is such a whore" She said in a high pitch voice, the girls she was talking to her looked at me surprised. I was about to say something but Emily continued "I mean she is always following me like some lost puppy and she tries to get every guy I want I mean she is just a bitch, go tell everyone alright?" I cleared my throat and Emily turned to me, her eyes went wide

"Yah I'm the whore? Check again you're the one who slept with the whole football team!" I yell by now everyone was looking "I have a boyfriend!" She screeched

"You both cheat on each other!" I yelled back and she gasped "What its not like anyone didn't know" I roll my eyes she glared at me "At least I'm not the one sleeping with the FREAK!" All eyes went on me and then I snapped no more lying who I am "Freak? No I think that's you, I'm not sleeping with anyone I'm actually a virgin! I'm smarter than you on so many different levels, did you know I get b's on most test sometimes even A'S! I always knew you were a bitch and talked about me but you don't know me....You are not my friend, especially if your being this way" I growled I started to walk off "You walk away you wont be a part of my group anymore!" She screamed

"HOLY SHIT I'M FREE!" I yell back and the crowd of people started laughing. I smirked to myself, I can be myself now im tired of lying. I walked up to Caleb and smiled brightly "Can I eat lunch with you?" I asked, his face turned to me and he looked at me like i was crazy "W-what?" I laughed lightly

"Can I eat lunch with you the bells about to go?" I said again and the bell went, he looked confused and shrugged walking to the library I quickly jogged up to him "Your not gonna eat?" I asked he shook his head in return. I shrugged and we walked into the library. "Wow...there is actually a lot of books" I mutter, Caleb chuckles lightly and sits on a chair "You never been here?"

"Barely, being with the people I used to hang out with it was always football field or cafeteria" He got up and looked through the books then came back and passed me it. I looked down at it "Looking for Alaska?" He nods in return I shrug and open it. "So...why aren't you talking to me?" I asked looking over at him. He just shrugged, I shook his shoulders "Please talk to me Caleb..."

"Do you remember what happened yesterday?" He muttered, I shook my head saying no. He sighed loudly "Do you remember you got a dare to make out with Carter and you did it..."

"Oh that I remember a bit I wasn't drunk then....but then I remember Eric came along and everything is blurry" He nodded "Yeah you get drunk we danced..." He smiled to himself "You made up a nickname that you kept using" My eyes widened, I was always bad with nicknames most of the ones I have were ideas from other people. "Oh jeez....what was it?"

"Ebby" He chuckled, I groaned and placed my face in my hands. "I don't mind it" He added, I looked up at him and laughed lightly "Its bad, you don't have to pretend you like it"

"Nah I think its cute, but only if it comes from your mouth" He smiled looking down at his book, his mouth shut tightly and I could see his cheeks going slightly red. I shook my head with a smile and read the book he gave me. When the bell rang I went to my locker and grabbed my books I needed for the next period. I walked to class and sat in my seat. "Okay class today for art you will be doing a painting, now this painting has to represent an emotion for example... Anger you could use red sadness blue? You know so be creative!" She smiled going back to her desk. Well this is an pretty good activity to do I guess.... But what emotion... Caleb....I'll do sadness I think.

I grabbed the sheet of paper, paint brush and a few different colour paint tubs. I thought back to conversations with Caleb.

**Flashback**

"So tell me about it... I wanna help or at least try help you" He sighed and looked away rubbing his face. "So whats its like?" I asked again. He looked me in the eyes and nodded

"To me...its like im in a hole a dark hole but I still see people walking around happily" I was about to say something but he continued "And I try so much to get out it but everything around me is dark, sucks out the only happiness I have!" He cried out I went over and hugged him tightly

"It will be ok...shh"

**End of flashback**

I nodded to myself and started the painting.

"Wow, this is...absolutely beautiful" The teacher beamed happily "Class gather round over here please" She called, great I didn't want everyone to see this.... There was soon a crowd around me and I sat there awkwardly. "Now do you all see how this is a perfect example of showing emotion" She looked back at my painting "Would you care to explain your painting to the class?"

"Uh well in the center of the painting I used the black to paint a shadow of a person...and around him I have different shades of black and greys to symbolize darkness, the person is lost in his own mind" I say keeping my eyes on the painting. The shadow belonged to Caleb... The teacher nodded "You seem pretty passionate about this painting... what made you paint this?" I shook my head, signalling no. When the bell went I left me painting to dry and I walked to my locker. When I felt someone push me into it

"Hey watch where your going!"

"Im going to make your life a living hell Harp" Emily's bitchy voice whispered behind me, I pushed her roughly with my shoulder and she fell over which made me snicker "Please if anyone is making anyone's life hell it would be me Em" I replied back walking off with a smirk playing on my lips.
