Caleb's Point Of View

I Like Me Better - Lauv

The next morning, I was woken up by the soft knocks of our Butler on my bedroom door. And after, he announced that breakfast was ready, I laid back down and took a whiff of the satisfying and delicious scent which Jordan left on the spot where he laid when we were 'studying'. My feelings was stronger than ever for him, as if my soul was hungry for him. Just imagine how it would've been if he slept over almost every night and wake up next to him. That would've been heaven on earth, or in my bed. Anyway, I finally rose from my warm and exposed my shirtless body to the cold air hanging on my huge room. After quickly getting myself a shirt from my walk-in closet, I grabbed my phone from the charger and sent Jordan a good morning text, then went downstairs for breakfast. After greeting the family and chefs, I sat down across from my dad and started filling my plate with scrambled eggs, toast and bacon. While my dad was busy on his tablet, sorting out some plans for the day, and if you're wondering why my dad's always in such a mood, he's like that cause I'm not following his demands and expectations. He always wanted me to create a carrier of sports, then pass it on to my kids. But fortunately, my mom and I were pretty cool with each other.

"So, about your little friend from last night" my mom suddenly started.

"Yeah?" I asked, "What about him?"

"What's the relation between you two?"

"Nothing, we're just friends" I shrugged, and blushing a little.

"I saw the way you wanted to hold his ha- are you two together?" she asked surprised.

"No, we're just friends"

"Are you and... what's her name uhm... Madeline still together?" she asked

"No, after we broke up, she still made everyone believe that we're still together" I scoffed in ridicule and shook my head.

"Good, I never liked her by the way" my dad suddenly added, "She was toxic and an embarrassment to the family name. Last year, she called your sister a cunt at the carnival chilly-cook-off"

"I know dad, that's why I ended things with her" I pointed out.

"Good, now go get ready for school" he ordered and I responded.

Just an hour after breakfast, I was standing leaning outside of my car, waiting for my friend Darian to arrive. And since the air was quite colder, almost like we were at the heart of winter, yet the year just started, he was always late or overslept. And just around 7:45am, I recognized the car which dropped Jordan off at my house the previous day. As I saw him in the passenger seat, an unexpected smile grew on my face. And as it seemed, he too did smile. Are we both heading te same direction in life?

"Hey you" I greeted him as I walked up to him.

"Hey Caleb" he grinned and headed towards the entrance. Further on we didn't have much words for each other, but walked together into the school building. Then we separated from each other to our lockers and when I arrived, I quickly shoved my bag into it and dashed off to the boys locker room to get ready for gym class. The football slash basketball and PT couch had a rule: the football team always started twenty minutes before the rest of the class join. And so,  I sat down on the wooden bench between lockers and started changing into my uniform. Which was of course: gym shorts; shoes; and the school's t-shirt, but I always ended up shirtless cause of all the sweat and hot flushes I gained whenever I worked out.
We started off pretty hard and fast, and when those twenty minutes had passed, a huge crowd walked in through the doors.

"Mr Lim, you have a big class today" announced Mrs Green, enthusiastically, as always, with her her pitched voice.

"Why?"

"The day is being cut short cause it will be a hot day today" Mr Green informed him.

"Okay, good" Mr Lim said, "Everyone, ten laps around the basketball court NOW!!" he yelled and the students immediately responded by starting to run, and left three. Those three was Morgan, Martha and obviously Jordan. My eyes wandered up and down his feminine body, the shorts slightly added some visibility and detail to his bubbly butt.
They didn't even look scared of Lim, but strolled towards the bleachers and sat upon the third seat.

"Dude, can you stop staring all ready?" I was brought back to reality when my friend, Nathan, hit me on my lower back and messed up my hair.

"Stop it" I scoffed in annoyance and fixed my hair.

"Then stop staring at her" he attempted to mess it up again but this time, he didn't succeed.

"Her?" I asked in confusion.

"Morgan, you're into Morgan?"

"No, why would I be into Morgan?" I asked

"So, you're obviously not into Martha cause she's clearly not your type, and up next we ha-" he then got the message who I'm really into and his eyes grew wider than saucers.

"Ye-" before I could give him a proper answer, Lim hit the back of our necks, which annoyed the shit out of me, like I was ready to fuck him up, and yelled in our ears, as a reminder that he had given us an order.
We did what he wanted us to do and right after, I took he risk by going to sit down next  JJ. And suddenly, his phone rang...

"Hey Lana" he greeted the girl on FaceTime.

"Hey JJ, ho-... who's that hunk sitting next to you?" the person, who I'm assuming is called Lana, referred to me.

"He's just a friend"

A friend? Well technically...
