New girl || Cal [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter three | Helping

"Alright, give me my bike back," Cal said miffed, throwing his bag to the ground

"Just listen," Vic said pointing at Cal with his hands "I need you to go to Talley and convince him that these two idiots weren't cheating"

"I already told you I didn't say anything," Cal said, he isn't lying I was the one who told Talley, I didn't know these idiots was gonna react like this though

"And I get that, I do" Vic nodded "But If they can't play then the team suffers. We're 5-0 so far this season, Cal"

"And you don't understand the type of shit I have to go through if we don't win"

Cal let out a scoff, "Okay?"

"'Okay?'" Vic asked "That is my future" He explained looking at the field "I threw for over two thousand yards last season as a junior and now scouts are watching me"

"Oh, scouts are watching you?"

"Yeah, a couple, why are you being such a dick?"

Him, being a dick, you got to be kidding me. He didn't do anything if anything Vic is the only one who's being a dick "I'm asking you for a favor"

"Give me my bike back and then ask me for a favor!" Cal said pointed at his bike "You think we're stupid, you little loser?" Hank quipped crossing his arms "I'm not the loser, Hank" Cal explained

"I don't look like a caveman. I'm not failing all of my classes. And I'm the one with the actual future"

"Can his ass" Vic ordered as he went behind Cal and hold onto him as the others grabbed Cal's feet

"Stop! Get off!" Cal struggled to get off their grasp, he was put into a trash can still struggling. I know I should be helping but I don't want to be in trouble cause I didn't help or call for someone, even though I'm might show this to some adult that cares

"This is your last chance, Cal!" Vic threatened "You gonna talk to Talley?" Cal just stared right at him saying nothing, why not lie. I would've done that even though Ima get my ass beat again

"He's hopeless," Hank said, "Wait, wait, no, no no no-"

Vic pushed down the trash can to the floor at the edge of the stairs "Bitch" He muttered and  kicked Cal down the steps "Oh shit!" I whispered and put my phone away saving the video as I am. The three bullies walked away, once they were far away I went down the steps to Cal who stopped rolling "Cal!"

"Val?"

"That's me. Are you alright? You know what Don't answer that. That was stupid to ask" I shake my head as I helped him out of the trash "Can you get up?" He nodded wincing but made it up to his feet "Come on let me help you" I said wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "Can you even ride your bike? Actually, you know what let me take you home in my car" I told him "No, no it's fine, I got to work anyways"

"Dude, I'm not offering I'm telling you to let me take you to work as you said" I took his bike and walked beside it as Cal walked in the other side. He just let out a sigh and we walked to my car.

"Here" I open the passenger door "Get it in while I put your bike in the trunk. If it fits" I whispers the last part and opened the empty trunk and lifted the bike placing it inside. Luckily the bike fits. I slammed the trunk shut and went to driver sit "You okay?" I asked him as I closed the car door, Cal just simply nodded touching his bruise on his left cheek "Stop touching it" I said Turning on my car own and left the parking lot

"Are you sure you want to work right now?" I asked as we made it "I mean you're in pain. Like literally"

"I'm fine," He said opening the door "But thank you"

I hummed and nodded my head looking at him "No problem" He looked back at me, I studied his face and glanced down at his lips "Bye. I'll see you tomorrow" I waved looking back up "Bye" He muttered closing the door. I watched him get inside his work before leaving back to my house

"You're late" I heard my mom say all the way from the kitchen "Sorry" I Apologize going to the kitchen, I saw my mom cutting some vegetables "I was helping a friend out. He was getting bullied and stuff"

"Is he okay?" Mom asked "yeah he's fine. He's gone to work now" I nodded "Okay. I see you made friends" my mom smiled "Just two. I guess" I shrugged and grabbed water from the fridge "That's good, my love" I smiled at her and went up the stairs to my room. As I sat down in my bed my phone rang, I brought it out and saw Cecily texted me

"Hey, you wanna hang out in the library" It read, I sighed and texted back

"I just got home girl"

"Why so late? School ended an hour ago"

"I was helping Cal with something"

"Oh? Is he alright?"

"He's fine. I just took him to work"

"Oh alright. I'll see you tomorrow then"

"Bye Ceci"

Right when we finished texting my mom burst through my door "Hey I forgot something from the grocery store. Can you get it for me?"

"Sure. What is it?" I asked sitting up from my bed "Onions, how can I forget onions?" She asked herself "I don't know ma. I don't know"

"You can get something else if you want," Mom said giving me some money "Ooh bet," I said taking the money "I'll see you in a bit" I went down the stairs and walked to the store since it's around the corner. I looked at the store and realized it's where Cal works. Great. He'll think I'm stalking him. Hopefully, any other lane is open other than his, If he's working as a cashier

I went to grab a bucket and went straight to the food aisle and quickly found the onions, I grabbed three. I went around the store getting something I want and went to pay. I looked at the lanes and noticed one of them was half empty

I went to it and placed the things down. The cashier told me the price and gave her the exact amount and waited as the other person put the things in a paper bag "You okay, kiddo?" I heard the cashier say, I looked up and saw her looking at her partner. I looked to the side and noticed it was Cal. Bro really?

"What, did you fall off your bike?" She joked but Cal looked at her seriously "Hi Cal" I said softly "Hey" He said giving me my bag "Thanks" I said grabbing it and walking out the grocery store, walking back home to lay back in my precious bed
