Last Time: "Sounds great, but I have another question to ask you." He said smiling a big smile.
"What?" She asked hesitantly putting her drink down and eyeing him he too set down his drink and took both of her hands in one hand and asked,
"Are you ticklish?" and before she could react he started tickling her and she couldn't do anything about it because he had her hands.
"Yes! Stop! Please!" She laughed. She got one hand free and started to tickle him they both landed in the floor with Will on top of him. They were laughing so hard that they didn't notice their position, when they started to calm down Will noticed their position and blushed all Caleb did was kiss her and she kissed back. When they pulled apart Will got up and took the drinks to the sink, she looked at the time. "Wow! Time flies when you're having fun. I wonder where my mom is. She should have been home by now."
"Don't worry she could by stuck in traffic, it happens all the time." Caleb said calmly.
"At this hour, are you sure?" Will asked.
"Yes, even at this hour." He said wrapping his arms around her waist." So what do you want to do now?" all of the sudden the lights went out and Caleb let go of her waist.
"How about getting up and helping me look for a flashlight." Will said, laughing.
"Ok, I'll go look in the living room" Caleb said. A couple of minutes later the lights came back on and Will found the flashlight.
"Caleb I found the flashlight...Caleb?" Will called; just then the lights went back out. "Oh great, Caleb where are you?" She called walking into the living room.
Caleb came up behind her without her knowing about it and yelled "BANG", she did a front flip over the couch and landed on the scattered pillows form the couch. She started laughing." Are you ok I didn't mean to scare you that bad." he said helping her up.
"Gees, What's wrong with you, you almost gave me a heart attack!" She said putting her hand over her heart.
"Ok, sorry it seemed like the perfect thing to do. "He said shrugging.
"Oh yeah, well I'll get you when you least expect it!" She said making her teasing, angry face.
"Your not like most girls around here, you know that. I would have been smacked or thrown out or they probably would have broken up with me, but you really stand your ground, not that that's a bad thing!" Caleb said.
"Thank-you, and your just like the guys back in Fadden Hills, of course they made fun of me because I'm underweight, so I beat them up and learned to stand on my own two feet." She said like it was no big deal and kissed him lightly and then found the note that the flashlights were in the drawer in the kitchen and that she left chicken and dumplings in the fridge and to go ahead and eat.
"Well are you hungry? Mom made my fav chicken and dumplings"
"Sure I'm hungry." He said looking at the clock and it read 11:11.
"Ok, tell me when to stop" She said putting some into a bowl.
"Ok that's good, thanks." He said stopping her halfway.
She put the bowls in the microwave and about 1:00 min. Later she took them out and brought them to the table. "Careful it's hot" She warned.
"Thanks I don't want to burn my tongue or my mouth, cuz I might need them later. It tastes delicious by the way." Caleb said making Will blush
After Supper Will cleaned up their spots and sat down on the couch. "Well what do you want to do?" She asked looking at him.
"I don't know, how 'bout you?" He asked her.
"Well I have a question for you." She said playing with her fingers.
"What is it?" He asked sitting up straight.
"Well, do you know how to ice skate? Because I don't, we don't have an ice rink in Fadden Hills." She asked kind of embarrassed.
"Yeah, everyone knows how to ice skate, well except for you that is." He said smiling, and with that being said she grabbed the first pillow she felt and hit him with it.
"Hey watch the hair." He said blocking the hit. "You're mean you know that." He said grabbing a pillow as well.
"I'm mean." She said hitting him with the pillow again.
"Yes! You're mean." He said blocking another attack
"Oh and how do you figure that?" She asked hitting him again
"I don't know you just are." He said hitting her in the head lightly. Then for no apparent reason Will just started laughing, which got Caleb laughing as well. "What's so funny?" He asked holding his stomach, looking over at the clock that read 11:50.
"Oh, no you've got ten mins., to get home, Caleb." Will said pointing at the clock.
"Well, I guess I'd better get going, huh?!" He said getting up to get his jacket.
"Don't for get to meet me at the pool at 12:00pm ok" Will said opening the door. He leaned into kiss her good bye; Will's mom came up the stairs. They both heard her and pulled away before she saw them; she was digging through her purse to get her keys when she saw Will standing in the doorway.
"Will, honey, what are you still doing up. I figured you'd be in bed by now" She said walking into the apartment. By then Caleb fled the scene, Will just said good night and went to bed.
The Next Day (Saturday): Will get up at10:20 ate some breakfast and left her mom a note saying she was at the pool and that was going shopping after. Will went out to find this pool that Caleb told her about when she saw Taranee reading a book on a bench in the park. So she walked over to her and said, "Hey, Taranee what'cha reading?" peeking over her shoulder.
"Well I'm reading 'The Coffin Quilt' and it's really good." Taranee said placing a bookmark in her book. "What's in the bag?" She asked pointing to the blue shoulder bag Will had with her.
"Oh, that's what I wanted to ask you about, do you know the swimming pool is?" She asked quickly.
"Come on I'll show you." She said getting up. "Hey, where were you last night?" She asked as they were walking.
"Well I had a date with someone." Will said blushing heavily.
"Wow! I've lived her one year and I still haven't gotten a date, it's your first day and you already have a date….amazing!" Taranee said shaking her head.
"Well it's more of an accident date thingy." Will said turning a corner
"And how did you meet?" Taranee asked.
"Well I met him at school and then when I noticed the time I realized I was going to be late for hay lin's tea party and cookie thing so I rushed down the stairs and ran him over." Will said blushing heavily.
"So, what's his name?" Taranee asked with excitement.
"Ok I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else, ok," Will said holding out her pinky.
"Pinky swear I won't tell a soul." Taranee said linking pinkies with Will.
"Ok his name is Caleb Tellermen." At the sound of that name Taranee's eyes went wide. "What? Is that bad?" Will asked worried.
"Oh my god, You do know that everyone wants him right. You're so lucky. Did you kiss him?" Taranee asked eagerly.
"Yes, I did, but are you telling me to break up with him?" Will asked confused and stopping where she was.
"No, but every girl is going to be so jealous especially Cornelia, she's been trying to get a date with him for at least 2 years." Taranee said holding up two fingers. "Well here we are" She said looking up.",have fun but it doesn't open for 2 minutes." After 2 minutes the pool opened and Will went into the changing rooms and came out in her swimming suite.She felt the pool water and was surprised to find it warm(this is an indoor pool and it is winter outside).So she did her usual routine of 20 of everything and by the time she got done it was 12:00pm,she did one more breast stroke and when she looked up she no one other than Caleb loking at her.
"So are you ready for a hard day of teaching?" He asked bending down to kiss her.
"Yeah I am." She answered him meeting him half way.
"Meet me over by the shallow end." He said getting up.
"Ok." She said going underwater,she beat him there.
"Wow your fast.I could have ran and you still would have beat me!Caleb said steping into the pool.
"So what do you know about swimming other than drowning?"Will teased.
"HaHa you think your so funny, Well I know that when you swim you use your hands and feet.You cup your hands and kick your feet."Caleb said showing her how he cupped his hands and feet.
"Well that's basically it.Show me how you swim."She said pointing to the water.
"Ok but don't laugh. He said pointing at her.
"I'll try not to."She said giggling.
When Caleb tried to swim he looked like like a fish out of water( he was flopping around)."Ok,ok,ok,stop I see your problem." Will said holding her hands out in frount of her to keep the water from hitting her in the face.
"What's my problem? Caleb asked standing up.
"Well let's see you,as a guy, are blind when it comes to someone liking you-" She started but was cut off from Caleb.
"You know what I mean.!" Caleb said kinda angry but in a playful tone.
"Ok I was just kidding, First off you have no since of humor,(he gave her a warning glance)OK for real you have no since of balance.(He gave her a confussed look)here lay on your stomach."she said patting the water.
"Ok" He said and did as he was told. She put a hand on his chest and the other on his thigh.
"Now kick and paddle." Will said. He started kicking and soon he was swimming,when he stopped he was in deep waterso he swam back. "Good job."Will said holding up a hand for a high five.
"Wow, your a great teacher.So does this count as a date?" Caleb asked grabbing her hand.
"No, but I know what can." She said grabbing the other hand.
"What?" he said smiling.
"My mom's Birthday is today and I need to go to the mall and since I'm new and don't know where anything is, maybe you could help me out." she asked swinging there arms back and forth.
"Ok,it's a date.I know where all the best party stuff is,let me guess it's a small party."He said putting his finger on his chin like he was thinking about something.
"Yes, and since your helping you could be invited as well." She said backing into the deep end of the pool.About that time Irma and Cornelia came walking in and saw them talking.
So Whats going to happen at the party? Will Cornelia find out about Caleb and Will?let me now what you think.
