Our Secrets

Chapter 3: A Lot You Don't Know

I hear a loud thud and I jolt awake. I look over to see that Sasha is still asleep. It must have been at least two in the morning. I get up hearing the sounds of soft sobbing. I notice they are coming from them other side of the door. I open the door to our dorm room, seeing Callan. "Callan?" I whisper with my eyed half open because it was really bright. He looks up at me from his sitting position next to the door. "I didn't mean to wake you." I shake my head. "What are you doing here?"

He huffs. "I kinda got kicked out for the night." I rub my eyes. "What?!" He sighs. "Yeah the boys are getting lucky at the frat house. So I got told to get lost for the night." I pull the door closed sitting next to him. "You need new friends Callan." He shrugs. "You can go back to sleep Sarah. I'll be fine out here. I just didn't know where else to go." I sigh. "I can't leave you out here. You'll get us both in trouble." He huffs. "Why were you crying?" He shakes his head. "It's nothing." I nod softly standing before extending my hand to him. He looks at me funny. "You can sleep inside." He is hesitant but takes my hand. I help him up dropping his hand to go back inside.

"Don't have any spare beds but you pick your spot." He takes a seat in a chair. "This will be fine. Thank you." I nod before heading back to my bed to grab an extra blanket. I give it to him before saying goodnight and heading back to bed. I doze off very quickly listening to the soft snores of Callan coming from the other room.

I'm woken softly by a shake to my arm. I look up seeing Sasha. "What's Callan doing here?" I sit up. "He got kicked out for the night and I couldn't leave him in the hallway outside." She nods letting the bat she had in her hand slide down to touch the floor. "What where you gonna do, beat him?" She huffs. "If I had too. You never know especially not with Blake's gang." I nod softly and she puts the bat away. I get up heading over to Callan. "Wake up." I say shaking him softly. He reaches out pulling me into his lap and I look wide eyed at Sasha who's trying not to laugh. I blush harshly looking at him. "Five more minutes."

I huff. "Callan...." He opens his eyes looking at me. "Oh jeez....." He says softly letting me up. "I'm sorry Sarah. Habit." He rubs the back of his neck as I get up. "It's okay." I guess I had still been blushing cause he smirks at me. "Maybe you should head back to the frat house. Wouldn't want Blake to come looking." He shakes his head. "That won't happen. I'll find somewhere else to go until I can go back." He stands. "Thank you for letting me stay." I nod softly. He heads for the door but stops to look over his shoulder at me.

I look down at my feet and I hear the door open and shut. Sasha taps my shoulder. "If you were trying to play hard to get, you failed." I huff. "I wish he actually wanted me. But I can't change that." She sighs. "Sorry Sarah." I shrug. "I'm gonna get some air." She nods and I change.

I make my way up to the balcony our dorm complex had. It overlooked the campus. It was a very beautiful fall morning. I sat letting my legs dangle off the edge but not too far so I couldn't fall. Its peaceful. I can hear the birds chirping. And most of the campus is empty. I see one person and judging by where they were headed I beleived it to be Callan. He's carrying something in his hand so I watch him.

He gets to the steps of his dorm and is greeted by Blake. The dorms weren't thay far apart so I can hear them if they were yelling. Blake asks Callan something before shouting woohoo. I lean some watching Blake take a pair of panties from Callan and frown softly. I assumed he had gotten them from another girl. That was until Blake opened his mouth. "Great I knew sending you to her dorm would work." He taps his shoulder and I jump up gasping. Loud enough for them to turn looking at me. I run off back towards my dorm. They were my underwear.

"What?!" Sasha yells. "Oh I'm gonna kill him." I sit softly on my bed crying. "I knew better Sasha." She sits next to me. "Sweetie this is not your fault." I sob. "Its feels like it." There's a knock at the door and Sasha gets up to get it. "You've got some nerve!" I get up peeking my head around the corner to see Callan.

"I can explain." I shake my head. "I don't need to hear it." He looks over Sasha's shoulder at me. "Sarah please..." I sob softly looking at my feet. "Don't Callan...." I say turning away to head back in to the bedroom. "They weren't your underwear!"

I scuff. "I don't care who you screw anymore Callan. You've hurt me enough." He huffs stepping forward and Sasha stands in his way of getting to me. "I bought them.....will you give me a chance to explain?" I huff walking up to him. "Why so you can finish out the rest of Blake's plan?" He grabs my face kissing me.

"No so I can fix this." I stumble back some and Sasha steps in front of me. "I don't think so." She says and my eyes pool with tears as I look up at him. "Don't Callan...." He huffs reaching into his pants pocket pulling out a receipt.

"I bought them Sarah." He places it in my hand before pointing up and then placing his two fingers to his lips. "You know where to find me." He whispers before walking away.

After he leaves Sasha scolds me for wanting to go after him but I think in the end she understood. I head back up to the balcony and there he was feet dangling of the edge, lips wrapped around a cigarette. I clear my throat and he looks over his shoulder letting out a breath of smoke. He puffs it one more time before flicking it off the balcony and standing to walk towards me.

He exhales the smoke before cupping my face to kiss me again. I hum pulling back. "Callan..." He smiles. "I've missed you so much. You don't know how hard it is having to hide this." I look up at him and he backs me into a wall. He brushes a piece of haid behind my ear. "There's so much you don't know Sarah." I stare up at him. "Then tell me." He kisses me softly. "The prank wasn't Blake's idea. It was mine." I gasp softly. "I just needed to get my hands on you I just didn't know how else to do it." I huff. "I wanted to be with you so bad, but what Blake says goes and once the prank ended so did us."

I push him back some. "What about..." He smiles. "The sex? I minute every minute of that." He says pulling me closer. I sigh. "How do i know this isn't another one of your pranks?" He presses his nose to mine. "You'll just have to trust me." I huff. "Where the hell is Callan?!" I hear Blake shout from the campus below us.

"So what now?" He kisses me. "Meet me here at midnight. Bring Sasha is you don't trust me." I hesitate before nodding. He kisses me gently. "I have to go." He says before running off and there I was alone and more confused and lost then ever.
