I grabbed my bag and walked out to the principal’s office. Kaleb was already waiting there. Then when I got closer I saw that he was talking with Violet. Violet Smith was another half vampire and part of our group. (She still is…) But she and I don’t share any classes together. She dyes her hair purple (very coincidental) and that contrasted her bright green eyes. Everyone else in the group all knows that she liked Kaleb for months ever since freshmen year. Kaleb and Violet were talking quietly. She looked over at me and smiled.
“Hi Arron. So, you two boneheads finally got detention together. Is there anything that you two don’t share?”
…
Did I forget to mention that she has a sarcastic attitude?
“Yeah, so funny Vi. Anyways, we better get started.” “’Kay, see you later then Kaleb?” “Yeah see you later.”
Violet and Kaleb live next door to each other. So Kaleb and his mom drive her to school. They also feed her breakfast, and dinner she knows Kaleb’s family so well. She waved by and started to head for the main doors.
“You’re really lucky, you know that?” Kaleb said as he stomped off to the cafeteria. I quickly followed behind him.
“Yeah, Hi to you too Kaleb.” “I mean seriously! Do you have to get every girl in the school to like you?” “I don’t try to.” I said quietly. “But you still do! Can’t one girl in this stupid school have a tiny crush on me?!” I got angry. Doesn’t he know? Doesn’t he realize that Violet has had a crush on him for a long time? “There is one stupid. You just didn’t realize it yet.” He turned around sharply. “You’re lying.” “WHY THE HELL WOULD I?!” “BECAUSE YOURE ARRON GRAY! THE MOST POPULAR FRESHMEN IN THE WHOLE SCHOOL!”
I stopped my angry thoughts and actually thought for a sec. Kaleb was jealous of me…
“Okay…if I’m lying, I owe you lunch tomorrow and I back off on you.” “And if I’m wrong?” “You believe me and I hook you up with the lucky miss.”
Kaleb sighed and grabbed one of the mops that were lying next to a dirty table.
“Fine, deal…let’s just mop for now.”
I nodded and we started to mop the floor. I whistled Starstrukk by 3oh!3. Kaleb finished the refrain. I smirked. I could tell that he smirked too. Once we were finished I looked at the clock. 2:59 pm. I sighed and looked over at Kaleb who took some paper towels and started to clean the tables of trash and sprayed a few sprits of Kleenex. I decided to follow. Soon as I knew it all the tables were clean. I sighed and sat on the top of one. I looked over at Kaleb and saw he sat facing me.
“Ready to find your secret crush?”
I smirked as I held up my phone. He looked at me confused. “Sure…but who are you…?”
“You’ll see soon.”
I started to text Violet. Kaleb looked over my shoulder. Hey VI. What’s up?
Nothing much Arron…
…Is something wrong?
Yes. Kaleb STILL didn’t figure it out yet!
Figure out what yet?
Don’t play dumb. He still didn’t figure out that I like him yet…
How long did you like him again?
?? Ever since august…you know that Arron, you were the first to know…
Really…?
Uh, yeah, really…are you okay Arron? You’re acting weird…
Yeah I’m fine, gtg.
TTYL
I closed my phone and looked over at Kaleb. His cheeks were red.
“See? Violet likes you.”
He was speechless… “V…Violet…likes me…?”
“Yeah dude, man, you’re really slow.”
“WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!”
I laughed.
“Dude, relax! Just joking around…but really dude, why didn’t you notice before?”
He looked away.
“I…I don’t know myself…come to think of it…she’s really hot…”
I shivered. Violet is only my friend and that’s it.
“Ugh, dude too much info.” “Heh…sorry…and I’m sorry about the whole fight and forcing myself on your girl.”
I could feel my cheeks grow warm.
“She’s not my girl yet…but I hope she will be.” I decided to change the subject. “Now, about Violet…” “Uh. I can hook myself up with her no problem now Arron. But thanks.” “No problem dude.”
We did a knuckle touch. I finally had my best friend back.
