Chapter 12

"I hate him when he's like this," Kate told Prue and Sarah while walking out of the bathroom. "He's been jealous since the day we meet. It drives me crazy."

"You don't hate Reid," Prue told Kate while rolling her eyes at Sarah, "You guys are perfect together."

Shrugging her shoulders, Kate thought maybe they weren't. "Maybe its time to check out something new," Kate said climbing into bed.

"And maybe that's what Reid is picking up on," interjected Sarah.

Looking over at her ringing cell phone Kate picked it up and held up to the girls. "It's the eighth time he's called me in the last hour."

"So talk to him," encouraged Prue.

"No. Not till he stops being an idiot," Kate replied while rolling over in her bed.

Looking at each other and rolling their eyes at each other, both Prue and Sarah turned off their lamps and got into bed. "I bet Caleb's not the jealous type," commented Kate.

Prue smiled to herself while unbeknownst to the two other girls Sarah had a large scowl on her face.

Caleb was sleeping when he was woken out of a dead sleep. Standing over his bed was the darkling of the dead student pointing a drenched soaked finger at him. Disappearing, the sight of the darkling left a bad feeling in Caleb's stomach leaving him worried about the rest of the coven, especially Prue.

The next day at school the group of six were having History together. Their teacher, Professor Ramsay, was assigning a class presentation to be done in pairs with one group of three. With Reid giving Kate longing glances and her ignoring him in return, Tyler peeking over at Sarah who's entire attention was focused on the eye sex happening between Caleb and Prue; the entire group wasn't listening when Ramsay told the class that he would be doing the pairing up.

"Now lets see Mister Danvers and Miss Wenham, Mister Garwin and Miss Parry, and Mister Sims, Miss Tunney, and Mister Collins will make up the group of three," announced the professor with both Reid and Tyler's faces falling and Prue smirking at Caleb's pout.

"So it seems like we're going to be partners huh?" asked Sarah sitting down beside Caleb.

"Yeah so it seems," Caleb replied absentminded while watching Prue walking over to Reid.

"Do you want to get together after school in the library and work on the presentation?" Sarah asked.

"Sure."

"So what's up with Kate?" Reid asked Prue while she was looking over at the closeness of Sarah and Caleb.

"Huh?"

"Why's Kate being such a bitch?" Reid asked while rolling his eyes at Prue's lack of interest.

"She's not a bitch," Prue jumped at the defence of her best girl friend. "She just needs some space. You're crowding her with all of your jealousy."

"Well I wouldn't if she would just stop hanging out with that Chase guy," Reid defending his actions.

"Well she's not. Just give her some space and show her that you trust her."

"Like how you trust Caleb?" countered Reid.

"What?" yelled Prue with the entire class turning to look at her. Ducking her head, Prue asked more quietly "What? Of course I trust Caleb."

"Really? I couldn't tell what with all of your staring at them," sneered Reid.

Scoffing at Reid, Prue looked over her shoulder to just catch Sarah laughing at something Caleb said and placing her hand on his forearm. "I'm sure there's nothing to worry about," a voice sounding a lot like Chase whispered in her ear, "I'm sure they're just friends. But it wouldn't hurt to follow them, hmm."

Later that day at swim practice, Caleb was encouraging Reid while he won the practice race. "He really is good," spoke Chase has he went to stand beside Caleb on the sidelines.

"The best," said Caleb looking over at Chase. "Hear you swim a mean free style?" inquired Caleb.

"That's what they tell me," replied Chase.

"See what you got," Caleb spoke in a friendly manner with Chase agreeing with a grin on his face.

The two of them dove into the pool and fought for dominance the entire way. With the Reid and Tyler encouraging from the sidelines, when both boys touched the wall on the far side and were doubling back to finish the race Caleb looked over at Chase to see his eyes turn to coal black and bumming his head the entire world went black. Coming to Caleb noticed Reid, Tyler and Chase all crowded around him making sure he was okay. "You okay man?" inquired Chase, "There you are. Had us going there for a second."

Blinking away his headache while looking around the group, Caleb slowly sat up. "You knocked your head pretty good," informed Tyler, "Lucky for you Chase was there to get you out before you sucked up the pool."

Looking up into the stands, Caleb noticed the absence of his girlfriend but in her place was the worried looking Sarah Wenham. "He also whipped your ass," joked Reid.

Giving Chase a look of suspicion, he got up and nodded his head in thanks and headed off towards the changing room. After getting dressed, Caleb bumped into Sarah while coming out of the changing room. "Oh my god. Are you okay? Do you need to go see the nurse?" asked Sarah while reaching up to touch Caleb's forehead.

"No, no I'm fine thanks," replied Caleb moving his head out of her reach. "Do you know where Prue is?" asked Caleb.

"Yeah. I think she said something about going back to the room and taking a nap. She was really cranky this morning cause Kate woke her up with her singing and being late for breakfast so she didn't get any coffee," answered Sarah.

"Aahh, gotcha. I know what Prue's like in the morning without her coffee and it isn't pretty," joked Caleb.

"Yeah tell me about," Sarah joked backed. "So do you want to go to the library and do some research for our history presentation?"

"Sure, why not. I don't want to go and try and wake up Prue. I'll let Tyler handle that one."

Walking down the hallway towards that library, both Caleb and Sarah didn't notice the camera phone taking their picture while Sarah looped her arm through Caleb's sending it to Prue.
