Cold blood

The first time we talked.

I turned around to face him. What was I suppose to say? Maybe I shouldn't say anything at all.

I pulled out my book and opened it. What page were we on? Ugh crap I need to pay attention more often.

I looked at him clueless. As if I didn't even know how to ask a question. But he answered like he could read my mind.

"Page 171"

"Thanks" I said quietly.

The bell finally rang. Everybody was storming out the door. Chloe caught up with me again in the hallways.

The hours past by fast. It finally was 7th hour. Last hour of the day thank god.

I was at my locker grabbing my books with Chloe by my side. I'm glad I actually made a new friend today.

I saw him across the hallway. He was leaning against his locker with his arms folded with a smirk on his face. He kept staring at me never looking away.

Chloe snapped my gaze and caught my attention. She looked towards what I was looking at.

"You should talk to him."

"Wait what?" I said

"Talk to him! You obviously want to." She said with a smile. Then she walked away.

You know Chloe was right. I can't just hold myself back all the time. I need to be brave and do what I think is best.

I closed my locker and walked towards where he was. He must have left cause he wasn't there.

I headed to my 7th hour. As I walked in the classroom I noticed he was there. I guess I have another class with him.

I took a seat right next to him.

"Look we need to talk." I said.

"Okay I'm cool with that." He said with a smile on his face.

"Why were you at my house yesterday?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't act like you don't know. You were in front of my house yesterday. Why?"

"Okay first of all I barley know you. And I don't even know where you live."

Once he said that pain went through my stomach. I sound stupid. He's right I must have been seeing things that day.

I put my head down. How much more can I embarrass myself on the first day of school?

He chuckled.

"You know I would love to get to know you more though." He said with a smile

"I'm Caleb."

"I'm Veronica."

I can say one thing about today, it sure was interesting.
