Chapter 10

Callie's P.O.V.

'Cal what are we going to do?', Mark asks. I have never really seen him this sad over a girl. He must really like Lexi.

'I don't know Mark, we messed up'

'Lexi refused to talk to me Cal. She isn't answering any of my calls'

'Yeah Arizona is the same. She is really angry. She told me that she was too pissed to talk and today when I went to meet her, she said that she was busy', I say with a sigh.

'Why can't they just understand that it was a long time ago. That it means nothing. Why can't they just understand that?', Mark was starting to get annoyed himself. His voice was raising and Addie caught that. She came over to our table in the teachers' room.

'Guys...what's wrong? Arizona and Lexi are still not talking to you'll?'

'Yup', we both said in unison.

'What is bothering you both? Talk to me...'

'Arizona is making this into a big deal. I already told her that it was just for fun! She is looking into this a bit too much.' yeah I was pissed too.

'And Lexi knew I was always a golden boy. She shouldn't be surprised. Why can't she be a sport about it!'

'Guys take a minute to think. Cal if Arizona had told you that she and I were a thing and Mark if Lexi had told you that maybe she and Alex were a thing and they wouldn't have told you about it and you would find out out of a drinking game then how would you feel about it?', Addison asks us!

'I love you Addie but I would never look at you the same way', I manage to say.

'Yeah I would Kill Alex'

'Now can you imagine how difficult this might be for them? Arizona lives with Alex, Callie and Lexi had no idea that three of your hot dates were in your friends circle. So take a minute to think and give them a minute to process this', Addie finished. And she was right. Mark and I weren't thinking about how they feel. We were being babies about this. We needed to apologize to them, but first we needed to give them time to be upset.

'You're righty Addie. Shit. When did you get so smart anyway?'

Arizona's P.O.V.

'Take a seat Candice', I say to my next student. It has been a long tiring day. I've had student after student come in an tell me there stories. This morning when I rode here with Callie, I tried to avoid her and her apologies as much as possible. She thinks I am making a big deal with this but it is a big deal. I am thrown out of my thoughts when Candice begins to speak.

'My mother is torturing me Ms. Robbins! She keeps asking me who I am hanging out with and where I am at all times. She doesn't give me my space and doesn't give me my privacy. My mother recently had a surgery for breast cancer and she has removed her uterus. She is emotional at all times and she takes it out on me. I have been doing poorly in my last two tests and I thought I shouldn't tell her or else it would stress her out even more. She found the papers in my bag this morning and we got into a huge fight. I didn't want her to panic. I didn't get time to study because of her appointments with the doctors and everything. It didn't mean anything and so I thought, I could do without discussing it with her. She won't see that. She won't try to understand. She just gets mad at me.'

She finally stopped speaking and I offered her a glass of water. I pondered over what she said. The girl knew that her tests were nothing serious and she had a reason to explain it. She wasn't wrong in hiding it since she meant no harm. What if her fight with Callie was similar? Callie kept her relations from her because it didnt mean anything to her and they were just flings. She also thought that telling me would make it worse. Was she really at fault? Was I really making it into a big deal?

'Candice... If your best friend hides a secret from you and you got to know about it somehow, would you be angry at her'

'Yes I guess'

'Then that is exactly how you mom feels! She expects you to talk to her no matter what and she is just pissed that you didn't tell her. You are not wrong for looking out for her, but have you told her your side of the story?

She shook her head lightly.

'Then you need to tell her that Candice. She needs to know what you are thinking and you need to know how she is feeling! You just need to communicate better'

And so do Callie and I, I think to myself.

General P.O.V.

'Arizona...!', Callie says while asking for permission to enter Arizona's room.

'We need to talk Calliope.' Hear her full name caught her by surprise.

'Will you come with me? I know a good place where we could go'

Arizona agrees and Callie takes them near the pool of the school. Both of them had to do some kind of student evaluation and they stayed back until it was dark. Luckily there were no students around them and it was pretty quiet.

They sat on one of the benches next to the pool, the light from outside coming from the window and falling perfectly over the pool.

'Seriously...how do you manage to see the beauty where anybody would least expect it?', Arizona asks, clearly amazed.

'That's kinda my thing. Attracting beauty towards me', she says that with her eyes fixed on Arizona's and her hand reaching out to stroke her cheek.

Callie clears her throat and begins to speak,' Arizona... I didn't mean to hide anything from you. I really did not think it through and I made a mistake. I should have understood how it would be for you. I would also be upset in your place and I should have seen that before. I am so sorry Zona.' by the end of it she has a tear in her eye.

'Apology accepted!' she says with a sweet smile,' And I am sorry too. I understand how you might feel. You didn't want to tell me because it means nothing to you and I get that. We just need to communicate more Calliope. Just hear each other out, put ourselves in the others shoes and then react. Because I don't like being pissed at you. I hate it!'

'I hate it too, Zona! And I am all in to talk more about it. I will tell you my part of the story and listen to yours too. And then we will go with the flow.'

'Awesome! Now shut up and take me home!' with that they hold hands and drive home.
Something which is right for me, may not be right fo you! That is something which if understood, can really help us!
