Chapter Eleven
Aiden-
In the morning, Caleb was waiting for me by my locker.
"Sup, Gorgeous," He said, as I twisted in my combination.
"Stop calling me that," I muttered.
Caleb's eyes narrowed. "Why?" He asked.
"Just cause. I don't need a guy calling me gorgeous and pretty boy out in public. People might get the wrong idea," I said.
"Oh, so it's okay to call you gorgeous in private?" He whispered in my ear.
I almost shivered.
"Don't you have somebody else to bother?" I asked spitefully.
Like Ashley?
"You know I have eyes for only you," Caleb said cheesily.
I swear, I probably just turned red in the face. I tried to put it off as anger.
"Get the hell away from me," I said, shoving past him.
He grabbed my arm. "I think you need to loosen up. Skip with me today."
I swear, he must be crazy.
"Why would I skip with you again?" I said.
He looked at me with those dark, bottomless eyes. "Why wouldn't you?"
And all of a sudden, I seemed to forget all of my reasons against it. And so I followed him out to his big, black truck.
"I see your truck got fixed," I said.
"Yup," He said, as we headed away from the school.
"What happened to it, in the first place?" I asked.
Caleb didn't answer.
He was so damn mysterious, but I wanted to know more about him and what all has happened in his past. Though, apparently I wasn't the only one.
"So, you seem to be popular with the girls," I said, a little uncomfortably.
"Is that so?" He said.
As if he didn't know!
"Yeah, you and uh Ashley?" I managed to say.
"Ashley....interesting girl," He said, his face neutral.
"God, why won't you ever just talk to me?" I demanded to know.
"What are you talking about? I talk to you plenty," He sniffed.
"Yeah, but it's always cryptic or mysterious. Never any details," I complained.
"Why do you want to know so much about me?" He asked.
I didn't say anything. Why did I?
He reached over from the driver's side and touched my chin.
"Lighten up, champ. We're here," He said.
I looked to see where 'here' was.
It was a broken down old records shop. I realized we were downtown.
"What are we doing here?" I questioned, more out of curiosity than contempt.
"I'm going to show you something about me. I love music, especially the eighties," He said with a small smile.
And I realized that he was doing this for me.
And that made me feel kind of weird. But not necessarily in a bad way.
