Chapter Nine

So the Suspicion Begins

"So where's Dante? Usually you're both glued to each other." Jessica asked her one morning while they were hanging out. Classes had yet to start so they were just hanging out in the hallway.

"I don't know, maybe he over slept or something." Callie suggested unsure.

She was worried. She noticed that not only was Dante not a school yet but neither was Wyatt or Lyle. That was highly unusual. School was about to begin and Wyatt was never late. A few minutes later Callie saw all three guys rush in.

"There they are." Callie said to Jessica pointing to the three guys who were huddled around something. Callie told Jessica she would see her in class and headed over to her boyfriend.

As Callie got closer she raised her eyebrows in question. Dante was wearing a pair of black rimmed glasses. Callie never had known Dante to wear them before.

"What's with the glasses?" Callie asked him as she walked up to him nudging him in the side.

"Glasses? What glasses?" Dante asked looking at her funny.

"Um the glasses you're wearing." Callie replied to him slowly.

"Oh, these glasses!" Dante said pulling them off his face with a loud, nervous laugh. "Their uh…" Dante trailed off.

"They're mine." Wyatt finished for him. He took the glasses out of Dante's hands and put them on his face. "I have temporary retinitis." He told her as an excuse. Callie looked at him a moment longer before shrugging.

"Okay," Callie replied slowly. Something about the situation just seemed suspicious to her. Callie pushed her suspicion to the side though and smiled as Dante pulled her close to him. His arm wrapped around her waist keeping her close.

"So Callie you wouldn't happen to have any snacks in your bag, would you? I'm hungry." Dante asked. Without waiting for permission he started rummaging through her messenger bag.

"You're always hungry. Does your mother ever feed you?" Callie asked him amused watching him.

"Yeah, Barbara feeds me but I'm a growing boy. I need a lot of food." Dante told. "Aha!" Dante smiled in victory as he pulled out a bag of gummy bears.

"No, not my gummy bears!" Callie pouted. Callie loved candy and her favorite happened to be gummy bears.

"Oh come on I'm hungry. I'll buy you a new bag after school, okay?" Dante offered pulling her closer to him.

"Okay, I guess." Callie told him with a frown before swiping one of her gummy bears back from the bag. She chewed on it happily before swallowing. Dante just gave her a funny look as he chewed all several gummy bears with his mouth open.

"And Dante," came Angie's voice suddenly startling both Dante and Callie. Callie was currently looking over her science notes while Dante pretended to study.

"Yo!" Dante called over to her.

"You're the only one in the running for Most Likely to be Abducted by an Alien." Angie told him.

"Are you serious? Yes!" Dante shouted happily. "Finally my ticket off this hunk of rock you call Earth. So long cramps! There's no reading in space!" He said before slam ducking his text book into the trash before walking away shouting happily.

"He does realize that it doesn't mean he is actually going to be abducted by aliens, right?" Callie asked Angie and Wyatt unsure.

"Um, yeah probably not," Angie answered with a shake of her head. "Oh, by the way Callie you are in lead for Most Talented." She told her with a smile.

"Really? Wow, so cool." Callie told her surprised. "Well, I better go bring the alien man back to Earth he owes me gummy bears. I'll see you guys in class." Callie told them rushing off waving at them behind her back.

Wyatt and Angie just looked at her lost.

"Yeah, I totally think Dante's affecting her sanity." Wyatt said confidently to Angie. She nodded in agreement.

By the end of the next day Callie's suspicion had once again been peaked. There was something defiantly wrong with Wyatt. He had somehow become the Guru of Daventry Hills High. He even had his own morning school TV show. Something weird was going on and Callie couldn't figure it out. She was snapped out of her thoughts when Jessica nudged her on the shoulder. It was the end of the school day and the girls were walking to Jessica's Aveo.

"You have spaced out a lot today. Is everything okay?" Jessica asked as they got into her car. Callie fell into the passenger's seat with a sigh.

"Yeah, I mean no, I mean I don't know." Callie told her. "Something just seems off with the whole Wyatt guru thing, ya know?" Callie told her.

"Yeah, I guess it's a little odd." Jessica said and Callie gave her a look. "Okay, okay it's really odd. But who cares? It's not hurting anyone." Jessica told in a voice that said she was done talking about it.

"I guess." Callie said but her mind was still curious. Callie was looking out the passenger's window when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Pulling it out of her pocket she saw that she had a new text message from Dante.

'Something came up… got to cancel our plans' it read. Callie frowned before throwing her phone into her messenger bag. She didn't even bother to reply. They were supposed to go see the new scary movie at the theater. They had been planning to go all week. Jessica looked over at her with a worried expression.

"You okay?" she asked before looking back to the road.

"Dante messaged me. He cancelled our date tonight." Callie told her slumping in her seat.

"I'm sorry. Why'd he have to cancel?"

"I don't he just said 'something came up'. What does that supposed to mean?" Callie said frustrated.

"Huh, that's weird. Maybe he'll give you more details later." Jessica told her hopeful. Callie had her doubts but she hoped Jessica was right.

The next day of school was just as weird as the day before, maybe even more. Wyatt was still being overly helpful and all knowing. The school was even showing his morning show throughout the day. Dante also didn't offer up any other details about why he cancelled their date last night and Callie refused to talk with him. She hung with Jessica and her band mates the entire day.

"So Callie um, couldn't help but notice that we didn't set with Dante today." Damien pointed out at lunch. The five friends were all outside eating their lunches and Callie didn't ask to join Dante's friends table.

"Yeah," Callie replied.

"Are you guys okay? Do we need to beat him up?" Damien questioned her while putting a comforting arm around her shoulder.

"He cancelled our date yesterday without even giving me a real reason. He hasn't even really spoken to me today." Callie told them sadly as she laid her head on Damien's shoulder.

"I'm sorry Callie." Damien told her given her a friendly squeeze.

"I'm sure everything will work out." Patrick told her hopeful.

"I hope so. I thought Dante was different. I don't want him to prove me wrong." Callie told them as she played with two gummy bears. Her friends looked at each other worried. They hated to see Callie sad.

"There you are. I thought you had like vanished or something." Dante said from behind Callie with a laugh. Callie just nodded her head refusing to look up from playing with her gummy bears. Dante looked at her confused. "You okay?"

"I see you guys later." Callie told her friends before leaving the table. Dante followed quickly after her. Dante caught up to her when she stopped at her locker to gather her art supplies for her next class.

"Callie, did I do something? Are you mad at me?" Dante asked her. Callie slammed her locker shut before leaning against it facing Dante.

"Why did you cancel our date last night?" Callie asked him trying to keep her cool as she stared up at him.

"Something came up. I sent you a text, you got it right?" Dante answered. That was not the answer Callie was hoping for. Callie face flushed in anger but she tried to keep her voice leveled.

"Yes, I got your text. What I want to know is what came up?" Callie asked again.

"Just something, it's not a big deal." Dante told her reaching his arms out to give her a hug. Sadly for him she said the wrong thing.

"No big deal? So you cancel on me for something that's not a big deal?" Callie asked him half shouting. Callie's hands were clenched into fists at her sides. Dante looked at her in panic. He saw her clenched fists and his mind wondered back to when she got angry with Adam. He feared that if he didn't calm her down Callie would actually hit him. Callie was really scary when she was angry.

"No, I didn't mean it like that. It was a big deal it's just I can't tell you." Dante explained to her. He watched as the anger melted from her face and he sighed in relief.

"Are you cheating on me?" Callie asked him suddenly. The anger was gone from her voice now she just looked at him with sad blue eyes.

"What, of course not Callie." Dante told her as he successfully pulled her to him for a hug. "Look, Barbara just made me do some stuff for her and I couldn't get out of it." He told her and he felt bad for lying to her but he couldn't tell her that he was out fighting a Biyclops with Wyatt and Lyle. Callie looked up at him for a few seconds before a tiny smile appeared on her face.

"Sorry I shouted at you." She told him in a small voice.

"It's okay." Dante told her before kissing her cheek. "Come on I'll walk you to art class." He said grabbing her hand. As they walked Dante was freaking out on the inside. Dante was going to have to be careful with Callie. She was smart and curious. He was going to have to watch what he does and say to make sure she doesn't find out about him and his friends secret.
