1 Chapter Eight
Caitlin waited for Griffin to get in the tacky cheap car, Griffin was so proud of owning. He had gotten it almost a year ago. Jim had helped Griffin fix the major problems with the car, but Griffin and Brett and Jordan had done most of the work. It was a dull forest green with a rust painted hood. It looked like someone had just painted the car with regular house paint or something. "Come on Griffin!" Caitlin sighed. "Let's get going!"
Caitlin did not want to stick around and talk to either Will or Eric. Over lunch Will had proceeded to defend his behavior, citing it justifiable because it was true. Caitlin was fed up with his jealousy.
It took her half the day to realize it, but Caitlin finally understood that Will was jealous of Eric. She had tried to explain and reassure Will he didn't need to be jealous, especially of Eric. Will feigned understanding, but Caitlin knew that he didn't believe her. So she gave up.
"I'm not going to explain myself every time I speak to Eric or laugh at his jokes. Get over it! I don't understand why you're being so stupid! I mean, Eric and me? Are you kidding?"
"Caitlin, I'm not stupid. Eric has a thing for you. I knew it before he left and I know it now!"
"You know, even if he did like me, which he doesn't, except as a friend; it doesn't matter. I'm with you. And if you can't trust me and know that I really care about you, you don't know me at all."
And with that she walked away to her next class.
Caitlin shook her head. I don't need the grief!
"Just a minute Caitlin. I told Eric we'd give him a ride to his house."
Oh great! It's not like I need Eric to ream me out for telling Will that he cheated on his English poem after having it out with Will.
"Fine!" she yelled. Caitlin released the front seat lever so she could sit in the backseat.
This is going to be a long ride home!
***
"Hey Griffin! You know I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be riding in a car with you. Man this is so cool!" Eric laughed.
Caitlin was surprised Eric hadn't mentioned the fact that she had told Will about the poem. Even when Griff picked up some gas before heading out of town, and they both sat in the car waiting for him, he never said a word.
As they pulled up Eric's driveway, Eric turned to Griffin with a wicked look on his face. "Hey, why don't we see if my parents will let me stay at your house this weekend? I'll bring over all the photos my friends took in the Rockies of us boarding!"
"Yeah! Uh, give me a call tonight okay?" Griff nodded.
"Yup! Sure!" he grinned. "Ya wanna invite Jordan and Brett?"
"Nah! Brett's too busy with Taylor on Friday and Saturday nights. Jordan, well, he's got work on the odd weekends and this one is his next one."
"Aw, well, that's all right!" Eric dismissed as he got out of the car. "See ya Caitlin!" he yelled running to the house.
"See ya!" Caitlin called as she jumped out of the backseat and climbed into the front.
***
Brrrring!
"Got it!" Caitlin yelled from the upstairs. "Hello?"
"Caitlin?" Will's voice answered.
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing. Just hanging." Caitlin didn't know what to say. She really wasn't mad anymore, but yet she was still irritated.
"Well, do you want to go for a ride?"
"I don't think so. I promised Dori that I'd help her out with the stables after school."
"Oh," he paused. "Are we okay?"
"I guess," she said curtly. It was the only answer Caitlin could think of.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ragged on Eric, I mean, we never liked each other beforeā¦"
"But you don't like him even more now?" she asked.
"Yeah, I guess. Look, I don't have to like all your friends right?"
Caitlin sighed. "No," she pouted, "But you do have to stop cutting them down in front of me! I hate it. I mean, he's my friend and I know sometimes he can be a pain, but once you get to know him, you'll like him. I mean, think of Griffin. You guys hated each other, but now you're friends."
"That's different. Griffin didn't hate my guts. Eric does. I'm not going to give him a chance if he doesn't and from the looks of it, it doesn't like it's going to happen any time soon."
"Fine. Just don't start any fights. Even though the teachers know you've turned your attitude around, doesn't mean they'll like you fighting."
"Aww, you're worried about me?" he teased.
"Well, I wouldn't get your hopes up. I happen to be dating this amazing guy who can ride horses."
"Oh really," he laughed. "Do you think I have a chance with you? I mean, if I'm on my best behavior with Eric and all?"
"Oh, I don't know," she paused, smiling to herself. "My boyfriend might have a problem with you trying to pick me up."
"Oh, I'm pretty sure I could take him," he laughed. "He was being a loser today at school. You don't want to hang out with him."
"Caaaitlin!" Dori yelled.
"I have to get going, Dori's calling me."
"Okay. See you at school tomorrow?"
"Of course!"
