To people who have never read my other story, the usual thanks to .RenabelleGal. for editing the original shit I came up with, people, R and R!
Caleb opened the door and let himself in without bothering to knock. "Sarah, I-" he stopped short.
His expression hardened. He just could not believe his eyes. There was Sarah lying next to a half-naked boy Caleb recognized from school.
He dropped the books on the floor and Sarah stirred from her sleep. She yawned and sighed deeply before opening her eyes – which widened considerably. "Caleb!"
"Here Sarah, here are the books from the library you wanted," he said coldly, hatred burning in his eyes.
"Caleb," her eyes filling with tears. "Please."
"No Sarah… all this while, you were seeing him? We're through. Through!" he bellowed before slamming the door closed.

Caleb sighed as he remembered that dramatic scene from a week ago. He scanned the bar and spotted Reid and Tyler making "panty bets" (as Reid called it) and Kate and Pogue making out. Even though he did not love her anymore, things just did not seem right without Sarah.
Making up his mind, he hopped off the stool after sending a text message to Tyler informing him of his whereabouts before heading for the door - only to be blocked by Kira.
"Hi," she said, batting her eye lashes a few times flirtatiously. "Are you free tonight? You could come over to my place if you are…"
"Go throw yourself at somebody else," Caleb's mouth was set in a grim line. " Busy tonight."
He sighed. Ever since the word that he and Sarah had broken up got out, girls had been throwing themselves at him. He heard her voice the second he stepped into the car park.
"Marco! Please, back off!"
"Come on Reg, I know you want me."
Caleb's expression hardened. This guy, Marco whatever-his-surname-was was even worse than Reid when it came to girls. There was a rumor he had even screwed minors before. Before he knew it, he had decked the jackass on the jaw and sent him sprawling.
"God damn it Danvers! Mind your own freaking business!" He yelled before retreating back into Nicky's.
He quickly scanned her up and down. Oh God, he thought. She had long, black silky straight hair, brown eyes that had a natural look of innocence, – but yet there was a certain rebellious air about her - full lips, an hourglass figure and legs that seemed to go on forever.
But that was not what completely attracted him. Her eyes. Something about them.
"Excuse me! Put your eyes back in will you?" she snapped.
Jerked from his thoughts, Caleb had a hard time finding his voice. "Hi," he said, extending a hand.
"Hi Danvers," she replied as she slipped her fingers into his, and then continuing briskly. "Look, I don't want to seem rude, but I have to go."
"Wait!" He couldn't let her get away that easily.
"Do you go to Spencer? Why did you go out with that creep? And I didn't catch your name!"
"Firstly," she said, "yes, I do go to Spencer. Secondly, I didn't go out with him, he cornered me. And lastly, you didn't catch it 'cause I didn't throw it!" And on that mysterious note, she hopped into her car and drove off.
--
The jet of warm water seemed to take away most of Caleb's troubles… except one. He had to find out just who that girl was!
--
"Damn, Caleb! Stop stepping on my foot!" hissed Pogue.
"Sorry!" Caleb apologized.
Sensing something, Tyler said, "Hey, man, you looking for someone?"
"Well, yes," Caleb replied, surprised.
"Bastard or bitch?" Reid interrupted.
"Girl, not bitch," Caleb said defensively, frowning at this.
"Hot or not?"
"Hot."
"What colored hair?"
"Black."
"Straight or wavy?"
"Straight."
"Eye color?"
"Brown. With a sort of innocent and rebellious look about them."
"Figure?"
"Hourglass."
"Legs?"
"Go on forever."
Finally, Reid took out his phone and produced a picture of the hot girl in a candid pose. "Is this her?" he asked smugly
Gazing in awe at the picture, Caleb nodded.
--
"Regina! Hey! Hold up!" Caleb called.
Regina turned and saw the guy who had saved her from the creep the previous night. "Hey!" she said with a bright smile." I never got to thank you properly!"
"Don't mention it," replied Caleb, uncomfortably aware of all her friends staring at him. "Listen, you want to go grab a bite with me tonight? I know this really great restaurant…"
"Oh, sure! Pick me up at eight?"
"Fine, eight it is."
As Caleb turned to leave, she called him. "Hey, Caleb?"
"Yeah?"
"Did Reid Garwin give you my name?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
"Oh, he used to stalk me," she said, rolling her eyes before leaving with her huge pack of friends.
Then she whipped her head around quickly and Caleb could almost swear there was a sudden spark of fire in them.
