Chapter 3 of This Boy's Back
Caitie stared at Jamie for a moment. His nerves were racking, her heart was pounding. Caitie looked
at Jamie and turned around. She bolted down the bleachers. The clanking and clanging echoed off
the other bleachers. Jamie looked after the fleeing Caitie and his heart dropped. So that was it.
That was how she felt.
Jamie sighed and sank down onto the metal bleacher. He could see Caitie walking into the building.
He dropped his shoulders and stood up. So much for that.
Caitie didn't know what had come over her. It was like when you're too scared to do anything and
then instincts take over. She did the only thing she could think of. The truth was, she was scared.
Sure, maybe in every dream, every fantasy, that had happened. But when it actually came true, it
was scary. Caitie took a deep breath to calm her nerves. What a week this had been.
Caitie stood up and walked out of the damp girl's locker room. She could see Jamie stepping down
the bleachers. Caitie's lips form a tight line. She felt bad. He was probably feeling really
discouraged. Caitie touched her upper lip gently. Jamie's been here, she thought. What a thought!
"Ugh. Why did I do that?" Caitie mumbled as she headed toward her next class. She didn't see Jamie
around so everything would be okay.
"Hey. Cay-tie!" Someone yelled from down the hall. Caitie looked up. It was Billy.
"Oh uh..hi Billy." Caitie said. She sounded very unenthusiastic.
"So...did you think about me last night?" Caitie made a face and started walking toward her locker.
"Well you actually didn't cross my mind last night." Caitie smiled. Billy looked surprised, like
it was impossible for someone NOT to think of him at least 20 million times.
"Really? Cait, can I call you Cait? Well Cait, what happened to us? We used to be so close." Billy
whined. Caitie turned around.
"Do you not remember the events as cleary as I do? You played me for a fool. I don't really need
that. Someone here cares alot about me..."Caitie smiled, blushing. "And my name is Caitie." She
walked away, leaving Billy with his mouth open wide enough for a semi to drive through.
Jamie watched grinning from the top of the stairs. But if Caitie talked about him like that, why
did she freak out on the bleachers? Jamie shook his head and walked sullenly for his class.
Caitie called Val later that evening. She had to tell her what had happened. Val was shocked with
the news.
"He didn't?!" Val gasped. Caitie nodded.
"He did." She answered. A sheepish smile played on her lips.
"Wow! So what did you say? Are you going out?" Val asked. Caitie blushed.
"I kinda ran away..." Val stared at Caitie.
"You ran away? Caitie..?" Val was a little confused. "You've liked him forever."
"I got scared. I mean, this changes everything." Caitie sighed and looked at the picture of her
and Jamie. It was in a silver frame on her nightstand. A smile slipped onto her lips.
"Caitie, in this case, change is a very good thing. I got to go. Brooke needs the phone. Bye." Val
said. Caitie waited for the phone to click and hung up. Outside the sky was turning purple. The
sun had slipped beneath the Virginian hills and the stars were beginging to shine. The light coming
through Caitie's window was soft. Caitie sighed. It was a lovely evening. Suddenly, the door bell
rang. Caitie leaped down the stairs. She flung open the door and...there was Jamie.
"Hi." She said. Her heart slammed in her chest.
"Hey..Do you wanna take a walk?" Jamie asked nervously. He glared down at his hands. He was fiddling
with the button on his leather jacket. His body language always gave him away. Caitie smiled. She
was a little uneasy too. She tucked a piece of wild hair behind her ear.
"Sure." The two set off. Neither said anything till they were far away from the house.
"Caitie...about today.." Jamie said.
"Jamie...today was-" Caitie began at the same time. They laughed.
"Go ahead." Caitie smiled.
"You go." Jamie waved his hand.
"No please. You first." Caitie was too nervous to say what she had started to. Jamie nodded slightly.
"Today...I was out of line. I shouldn't have done that and I'm sorry. It doesn't have to change
anything..." Jamie sighed. There, he'd said it.
"No no. I was just scared. I mean, I'm glad you did. I never would have come out and said it the
way you did. I want it to change something...everything." Caitie grinned as she slipped her arm
into Jamie's.
"Okay..." Jamie stopped and faced Caitie.
"You never answered me about my kiss.." He said, blushing a little. Caitie giggled. He looked cute
when he was embaressed.
"What about it?" Caitie bit her lip to keep from smiling too big.
"How..How was it?" Jamie wasn't sure he wanted to know.
"Incredible!" Caitie exclaimed. Jamie grinned and the two continued walking, hand in hand.
