Caleb's Point Of View

Escape - Kahlani

Two Days.

Two spectacular days has passed since that day in the gym and finally, we had reached the first weekend since school had started. But first, we still had a long day of school ahead of us.
As I sat in the classroom of Mr Olly, I dozed off into the deepest part of my thoughts, thinking about the hot day, which was cut short, how I had the time of my life in our pool with Jordan. And then, because of my feelings and strong desires, I ruined the whole mood. Let me explain: After school, I insisted on driving him to our house so his dad or older brother won't have to run out of fuel. He agreed, texted his dad and we drove to our house, listening to loud music and singing on top of our lungs, like old 'friends' or maybe lovers. If you know what I mean...
When we arrived at my place, we went inside and ate lunch. Right after, we headed up to my room to start studying. Just about two hours later, I noticed how he wiped the sweat off his forehead. I too was extremely hot and in need of cool or cold and the only way to achieve that, was swimming in the pool. At first he wasn't too sure about my idea, but I made sure that it wouldn't be a problem, so he caved. I borrowed him a pair of my brand new and slightly smaller sized swimming trunks and a towel. For long hours, we had fun but at sunset, we both climbed out and rested on the sun loungers at the pool. For some known reason, my eyes followed up his long, not skinny but perfect legs, up his abdomen and as my eyes got closer to his lips, I also seemed to have neared myself and attempted to kiss him. And just one centimeter apart, he felt my breathing, so he opened his eyes and pushed me off him, "What the heck Caleb?" he said when he pushed me off him and when I apologized, he grabbed the towel and dashed back inside. I was left there with frustration and embarrassment, mentally kicking my own ass. Finally I grew the guts to face him after what I did. I went inside and when I arrived in my room, he was already dried and dressed. I offered to take him home, when we arrived, I apologized one more time and he assured me that it was fine.

Now back to class...

I was suddenly hit on my shoulder by Nathan.

I turned around to face him and found all my friends standing around his desk, waiting for something. "What?" I asked

"Are you going to Martha's party tonight?" Derick asked excitedly.

"Yeah" I murmured uninterested.

"He's only going cause he wants to be with his little, you-know-who" Nathan teased me.

"Shut up you hormonal virgin" I said impatiently and annoyed, and everyone cheered me on.

"Now you know that's not true" Nathan said not hurt nor embarrassed.

"Please just leave me alone today, I'm not in the mood" I turned myself back around in my seat and continued with whatever I was busy with. Or at least I tried cause I ended up drawing zigzag patterns on the corner of my blank page.

"Damn, someone's on his period" I heard Nathan say and instantly, I jumped up, ready to break his nose but this others distanced us from each other.

"Mr Warden, please sit down" the teacher said but we all ignored her, "Or do you want me to call Mr Young to come and tell you to sit down?"

"That won't be necessary Miss" I murmured and sat back down and just few minutes after that unnecessary anger, I calmed down and the bell rang. I strolled down the packed hallway to the cafeteria and when I arrived, Jordan was in the front in the food line. Getting himself a burger and a water. And just as he turned to go to his table, he froze in one place when our eyes met. I thought he was going to be weird about it and all freaked out, but he flashed me a smile and went sitting down at their table. My mood was suddenly lifted, so much that I actually considered apologizing to Nathan for my pussy-like actions earlier.
