Callie Rose

Chapter 12

A/N: The song is pretty long so if you're gonna listen I recommend skipping to 1:00 it depends on how much of a fast reader you are.

Callie's POV

All through the long boring hours of my class I wasn't able to focus on anything.

I wasn't even thinking about the humiliation that I had been succumbed to a few moments ago because somehow Evan had managed to take all those bad thoughts and he had them flying through the window of my mind to never return again.

I sat in class, my desk was located in the far end that wasn't exactly hidden but also a place where I couldn't be noticed by the lingering eyes of the other students. I hated attention but lately it seemed to gravitate towards me causing the students at this school to stop ignoring my presence and actually acknowledge me.

It peaked my anxiety.

I sat with my mind dwindling away from the loud but firm voice of my lesson teacher and thought back to our encounter in the hallway, the way he talked to me with such delicacy and care.

I liked it.

It reminded me of the kiss we shared in my room the day he decided to sneak in, my first real kiss, excluding the rough one I had experienced days before.

He did a great job making me forget but now I had another problem.

I couldn't stop thinking about him.

Was that a bad thing?.

My parents said to not make friends or talk to anyone that I don't necesarily have to, but Evan and I are in this arrangement together and they know him so it was fine if I engaged with him outside the purpose of family business right?

I don't know.

And he told me he had feelings for me.

Something I was still struggling to believe but I was now almost convinced considering the way he had treated me before.

Maybe he does actually like me.

It's a possibility but I really hope he genuinely does.

Because I think I kind of like him too.

Evans POV

After letting Rosie leave I contemplate actually heading to class or just skipping so I can talk to Leah.

After thinking for a while I decide to go just so I can stay a little while for attendance and leave later on.

Leah sometimes skipped classes with the rest of the boys and hopefully when I made it out of class today would be one of those days that she did skip a class.

I then go to class and stay for attendance, I had been absent alot this week and while I didn't give a shit about my school responsibilities my parents were already pissed at me and there was no use angering them even more.

After 15 minutes of staying in class I rise up from my seat and leave not making a request to the teacher, she should probably assume that I was going to the bathroom, which would be dumb of her because she and I both knew that i wans't coming back.

I already decided that if Leah was in class today I would show up and motion for her to come out through the window but as I made my way to her classroom and peeped in I realized she wasnt.

She skipped as expected.

I send a quick text to Trey expecting her to be with them and just as I thought she is, they're infact at the bleachers and they never left since lunch.
