Having good grades, and trying to be good in life was every parent's dream. But for Callie Erickson it was everything but. Dealing with a cocky, self arrogant, playboy Jock named Christian Cleaver that used to be her best...

Every time I see Christian in the halls of school, I now smile a little more than usual. What am I doing? Is my old feelings coming back from when I was in Middle School? No, I can't be. I must be going delusional. Christian walks over to me, smiling and leaning against my locker. "hey gumdrop"
I peek around my locker door blushing "o-oh hi dinosaur" He chuckles ruffling my hair "It's been a while since I heard that nickname" Yeah, I haven't called him dinosaur since he was a kid. He used to look at me disgusted when I called him it in Jr High.
He puts his arm around my shoulder. Maddie walking behind us. She hands me a pop tart. I smile, reaching to take it. Only for Christian to lean down and bite into it. I shove him away from me. I take it eating it. He leans over my shoulder, biting into it again. I smack him with my math text book "stop taking my food!"
Christian laughs, hugging me. "okay, okay gumdrop, I am sorry. " Why am I blushing? Why is this feeling coming back? I don't even know if he has fully changed. I am still figuring it out. But I can't quite pinpoint if he is just faking everything.
I never could read Christian that well. He is superb at hiding his feelings, or anything pertaining to showing emotions. I sit in my 1st period class tapping my pencil on my wooden desk. What if he is faking everything? Making me think he has changed? No.. No, I would have seen a hint of that old Christian coming back. I am just being delusional. Making my negative thoughts get to me.
Christians POV:
Walking outside leaning against the school brick walls. Texting some of my old friend's. One thing I miss was my old friend's....
T- Dude, what's up? How's the old stomping ground?
C- it's good bro. Same old, same old. How goes it over there?
A- It's so shit. School has been boring since you moved back there.
T- Hey hurtful Aaron! I am still here, asshole!
A- Shut up Troy!
C- I see things really haven't changed.
I was shoving my phone back into my pocket. Until I got a text. Looking down at it.
Unknown- be at Club Rox tonight
I smirk to myself, looking up at the sky. People don't know I have a secret. Not even Callie knows this about me. But she will soon find out.
Time Skip:
Callie's POV:
It's 7pm sharp seeing Christian sneaking out his window of my old house. I peek out my door, knocking on Maddie's door. She opens her door as I motion mouthing 'look out your window'. She nods I go into her room. We watch as Christian looking more suspicious than ever.
