33: Shit Show

CHAPTER 33: SHIT SHOW

I planned on avoiding Caleb because I didn't know what kind of face I would make when I see him. I didn't know if he was serious about it but I think he was because he said so but I didn't trust him. It felt like I was one of his conquest. I always see him with different girls and I think he was curious about being gay and he decided to choose me as his medium of experiment.

I paused when I saw him in the locker hallway and he was talking to a girl and laughing. I knew he wasn't serious about me. He was just messing with me and it pissed me off.

I turned around and I was surprised to see Hal behind me.

"Caleb, weren't you looking for this guy?" Hal said, calling Caleb and I was dumbfounded.

I was trying to get away because he was busy with his girl and Will was calling him.

I grunted.

"Yes, I was looking for him." I heard Caleb and I turned around and he was walking towards us.

Hal placed his arm around my shoulders and it looked like he was preventing me from getting away because I think he knew I was going to ran away. I rolled my eyes.

I wrinkled my forehead at Caleb. "Why are you looking for me?" I asked and Hal pulled his hands back.

"I'm going ahead." Hal said and Caleb nodded at him. I just smiled and I watched him walked away. I wished he stayed because I didn't want to be alone with Caleb even though a lot of students were in that area and were busy preparing for their morning class.

"I want to see your face before I go to class." He snickered and I felt my cheeks heated up and I looked around checking if someone heard him.

"What are you still standing here? You already saw me." I said while looking away and I walked past him but he held my arm.

"Why are you so grumpy today?"

"I'm not."

Caleb frowned. "You are." He held my hand and pulled me from the crowd.

"Hey, I'm going to get my books." I said as I tried to pull my hand from his grip.

"Screw it." He dragged me to the men's rest room and pushed me inside an empty cubicle and locked it.

Caleb leaned his hands on the wall, me in between and looked at me.

"Screw you." I said and I was taken aback when he pressed his lips on mine in a quick kiss.

I shove his chest away from me. "I don't approve any of this shit. Why the hell are you doing this to me?"

"What am I doing to you?"

I glared at him. "This! Dragging me like I'm someone you can just control."

"I'm not controlling you."

"Then don't force me in your shit show." I said and went out of the rest room and went to my locker, grabbing my books and went to my first class with my heart beating so fast in my chest.

I didn't know where did that outburst came from but it just came out. I sat on my seat and scratched my head because my conscience hits me for shouting at him.

**

I didn't know why it really bothered me so much about what I said to Caleb. We were eating our lunch and I couldn't eat my lunch properly and Will was getting suspicious because I kept on saying nothing was wrong.

"I don't believe you." Will said and I just growled.

"Just eat your lunch." I said and I looked at the other table right beside us and I was surprised to see Hal's people and Caleb was there, of course, and I caught him looking at me.

I looked away and looked at Will. "We should hurry." I said and Will gave me a suspicious look.

"It was Caleb, right?" Will asked.

"This isn't a shit show." I sighed and grunted silently when I heard Caleb's voice beside me. He was standing.

I looked up at him. "I'm sorry but I'm having my lunch."

"What, are you like having a love quarrel?" Will asked and I glared at him. He just shrugged his shoulders.

"I just want to talk to you after school in the gym. I'll wait until five thirty and I will go home if you don't show up because I don't want to control you by saying I'm waiting for you until you show up no matter how long it'll take."

"The later sounds so you." I said and he smiled but it didn't reach to his eyes.

"Yeah, but I don't want you to feel like I'm forcing you on me." He said and I looked at him. He sounded serious enough and I didn't want to stare too long.

Caleb walked away and went back to his table with his friends and resumed his lunch and I didn't have the appetite to eat anymore.

Why does it felt like he was still controlling me of meeting with him. I didn't understand myself anymore.

"What's happening?" I heard Will asked but my brain didn't process what he said. I just glanced at Caleb and he was talking to one of his friend.

My cheeks heated up when he caught my glancing at him making me look away and paid attention to my lunch.

"Am I talking to nobody here?" Will said making me look at him.

"He just want to talk." I said.

Will leaned his elbow on the table while chewing his food and looking at me.

"I know there's something going on between you, so tell me honestly, are you falling for him?" He asked and I was surprised why Will asked that question.

"Are you insane?"

"You don't have to answer. You ask yourself that." He said and resumed with his lunch.

There was nothing to fall for Caleb.
