Caleb Davenport

"CALEB! I can't find anything to wear for tonight," Maya yelled. "That's because the rest of your clothes are still in storage," I yelled back. "Just wear your dark blue romper with your white wedges." "That's not a bad idea, but what are you going to wear?" "I think that I'm going to wear my black jeans and a white button up." After getting my clothes ready, I head to the shower, turned the knob, and head in the tub.

As I started lathering up my body, I had one thing in mind and that was fucking Cylyss. I guess you can say that I think with my dick but I'm not heartless either. Everytime I tried getting her out of my mind, she just kept on popping back into my head. I hop out of the shower and got dressed. My thoughts began to wander elsewhere. I wanna know her strengths and weaknesses. I wanna know what she does in her free time and more. I was about to have more wild thoughts about Cylyss, that's when my sister said that she was ready to go. I ordered us an uber and we were on our way.

When we got to the dance it was very crowded and everyone looked their sharpest. Maya and I made our way through the sweaty bodies and to the drinks. I was reaching for the infamous red solo cups, when Maya's hand beat me to it. "What do you think your doing?" I said grabbing the drink from Maya's hand. "I'm thirsty," she said grabbing the drink back with more force. "Umm, OK but you know that there's alcohol in there right?" I said looking back at her. "Well I'm not stupid," she hissed at me before taking a big gulp. As she was about to take off, I turned her around and look at her dark brown eyes, "Let this be your first and last drink tonight." Maya looks at me clearly annoyed and screeched, "You don't fucking get to tell me what to do, you lost that right when you let dad lock up mom!" "Maya, you know that it wasn't lik-," "Get lost Caleb, I've kinda had enough of your bullshit today to last me a lifetime." Then she shoved the cup into my hand and left my sight.

I pushed Maya and her drama out of my head. I try to bring my attention back to Cylyss. Tonight I plan to tell her how I feel about her. Yes, I know I've only known her for a day but something draws me to her. I start walking around the dance trying to find her and then finally we lock eyes. I approach Cylyss giving her a warm hug and then giving Logan a strong handshake. "If you need me, I'll be talking to Ms.Garcia," he tried to whisper to her finally walking away and leaving us alone.

I lead Cylyss into the hallway and we find an empty classroom to talk in. She sits on top of a desk and starts playing with the ring on her finger. I assume Ace got it for her but regardless she needs to know how I feel. I take a deep breath and begin to talk. "I don't really know how to say this without seeming like a complete psycho. I like you Cylyss, I want to get to know you better and make you happy. I understand that you're with Ace but you and I both know he's not enough anymore." She furrows her brows, "Who are you to tell me when someone's enough? Look, I have this weird attraction to you also and I'm not going to act oblivious. I owe it to Ace to at least talk to him, he's my boyfriend and doesn't deserve any type of pain,"

I grab her chin gently and make her look at me. "I'm not asking you to break up with him, I want you to be happy. But you'll never know if you'll be happier with me." I lean in slowly and kiss her. It was gentle and soft. She kissed back, for someone that's so in love with her boyfriend, she has no issue kissing other guys. We pull away and she gets up straightening her dress. "We can't do this Caleb, seriously. I get that you like me but you're going to have to suppress those feelings for me. We can be fri-," I cut her off by slamming the classroom door shut. I don't want to hear that bullshit. She kissed me and still wants her boyfriend. She's so confusing. Suppress those feelings for me. My ass. She will be mine, I don't care how it happens.

I walk into the dance and Angelina walked up to me. I know Cylyss wants me I just have to get inside her head a little bit. Maybe Angelina is the exact way I do that. Cylyss walks in and we lock eyes. "I want to go somewhere with you," I hear Angelina say. I like the idea and find myself being led out of the dance. This might be a really good distraction and an even better way to make Cylyss jealous.
