Caleb's POV
I needed to calm myself down, so I all of a sudden grabbed on to Carrie's hand. She then noticed my worry and asked me what was wrong. I couldn't tell her when I was in the shower I sense strong magic. She would either think I'm crazy or joking. Instead I told her I was nervous of our date. I kind of was, but man she must think I'm kind of lame.
I mean I am kind of nervous about this date. She is different than any other girl I met before, and I seriously have strong feelings for this girl. I just hope she enjoys what I had planned for her.
"So, where are we going?" she asked me.
"Well, there's a carnival in town, so I was thinking we can hang out there, then drive to the beach to watch the sunset" I answered.
"Oh, that sounds fun!" she exclaimed in excitement.
I was glad that she liked the plans. The whole ride there I held on to her hand. When I parked I got our to open the door for her. We walked around and talked. "Oh, let's go in to the fun house." she exclaimed.
It was something I never thought a girl would chose, but then again she was different. We both got in line waiting, who would thought there would be a line for this. Well now I have more time to talk to her. "So are you enjoying Spenser?" I asked her.
"It's okay, considering I haven't really made friends other than you, the guys, and Kate. The academics is good too, although some is kind of boring. But I enjoy most of it," she replied. "Hey, you want to play a game?"
"Sure, what's the game?"
"40 questions."
"What?"
"You know like 20 questions, but instead of 20, it's 40" she said as she took out her phone to put it on silent. "Oh, okay, who's first?" asked Carrie.
"Let's flip a coin," I suggested as she nodded.
So I took a coin from my wallet. "Call it," I said to her as I flipped the coin. "Heads" she said as she watched the coin.
"Tails, sorry mam, but I'm first" I said smirking.
"Ask away, hold up. Okay, so if either of us lie than the other person can ask another question" she said.
"Okay then first question, favorite colors?" I asked.
"Hm, black, silver, purple, white, and blue." she answered.
"Okay, your turn now"
"Same question" she said.
"Black, clue, grey, and white" I replied.
For the first ten questions we asked each other simple questions, then it started to get a little personal. I was about to ask a question, but we finally got into the fun house. So we both went in, Carrie was screaming out of fear and excitement, and laughing at the same time, as she held on to my hand the whole time. By the time we got out "That was fun!" she exclaimed.
I laughed at her reaction. "C'mon let's go!" she exclaimed grabbing my hands.
We went on many rides and things. "I'm getting hungry. Want to go get something to eat?" she asked me.
"Let's go then" I replied.
We walked over to the section with different food. The food was all kind of, well had weird names. We walked around looking at the kinds of food. "Hey, I dare you to eat that," Carrie said to me pointing at a stand. "It has a funny name, ha-ha."
I looked over at what she was pointing at; it was called "Deep Fried Feathers". She and I laughed at it, but it was just fried chicken, so it was fine. "So, what do you want to eat then?" I asked.
"Oh my goodness! Funnel cake!" she exclaimed pointing at it smiling excitedly.
"Let's go get food then" I said to her.
"Okay I'll go get my food and you go get yours, then just meet back here."
I nodded as we separated, forcing myself to let go of her hand. When I finished ordering my food, I look for Carrie to find her still in line. So I went over to her then stood next to her. "You're so slow" I joked.
"Hmph" she pouted.
She ordered and was about to pay, but I went ahead of her and paid for her. "Hey, that's unfair," she said.
"It's the point of a date. The guy pays for the girl." I said.
"Who says that? There's no law that states a guy always pay for a girl on a date." She replied.
"Well too late. I already paid" I said to her.
"Geez, why can't I just pay?" she muttered.
"C'mon, let's go grab a seat." I said grabbing her hand once again.
"Fine" she said following me towards the table.
When we sat down, she was still pouting. I laughed at her reaction. "Let's just eat." I said to her.
"If the next time you don't let me pay, I'll be mad at you" she warned.
"We'll see" I said teasing her.
"Hey!" she whined.
"C'mon I'm just being a gentleman."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I already know you are, so don't worry."
We both started to eat, as I fed her some chicken. She gave me some of her funnel cake, while we continued the 40 questions game. By the time, we finished eating the game was finished. We walked around some more after eating. We played some games, and I manage to win her a few stuffed animals. We were walking around then she stopped and stared at something. "What's wrong?" I said.
"That's so cute" she replied pointing at something.
I looked up to see what she was pointing at; it was a gigantic life size bear. "It's so huge. Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed staring at it.
So I went up to the stand and asked "How do I win that teddy bear?" pointing at the bear.
"No, Caleb you don't have to. Don't worry about it." She said to me.
"It's fine" I said to her.
After about 10 games I won the bear for her. "Oh my goodness! Thank you Caleb!" she exclaimed hugging me. "Thank you so much! You're so awesome!"
"No problem," I said to her, while handing her the bear.
"Thanks! You're such a great friend." She exclaimed, giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"You're welcome" I said to her.
I watched her holding on to the bear; it was taller than her too. She then put the bear on her back, as we kept walking she kept thanking me. As we walked, this guy bumped in to here almost causing Carrie to fall. It was good I caught her on time. "Are you okay?" I said holding her small waist.
"I'm- I'm fine" she replied standing back on her feet. "Thanks"
"No problem. Let's go, alright?" I said to her.
"Sure" she replied grabbing on to my hand again.
We walked to my car, as we put the bear in the backseat. We got in and drove off to the beach. When we got to the beach we walked around a lot. Also took many pictures, she kept taking pictures, some of me and some of us together. Then we walked around near the water, as we walked we continued to talked. Then we found a nice spot to watch the sunset. "So, what's happening after?" she asked me as she stared up towards the sky.
"Well, last night you must of fallen asleep, but Reid wants us all to hang out at Nicky's" I replied.
"Oh, hm, okay then" she said sounding a little disappointed.
"What? You don't like it?" I asked.
"No, I'm just wondering why Reid likes to go there so much. What's so great about that place anyways? Is there a certain someone he wants to impress there?" she asked.
"Well, there's not much to do here in Ispwhich. Besides Reid's always been a flirt like that, so I doubt he'll have someone that'll catch his eye." I replied, why was she all of a sudden so interested in Reid.
"So, he's the true playboy, huh?"
"If you want to put it that way."
"Hm, I wonder what kind of girl will one day steal his heart."
"You seem very interested in him"
"Why can't I be? He's a friend of mine too, right?"
"I guess you can say that."
I must say I was kind of jealous of Reid. Was she interested in him, what's so great about him? I mean I know he's my brother and all, but damn I'm seriously very jealous of him at the moment. "Wow, it's so beautiful!" I heard her exclaim.
I look over to see her looking at how happy she was, but too bad she doesn't cant me to be here.
"Caleb! Look, it's so amazing!" she said grabbing on to my hand.
"Yeah, it's great" I replied.
"Thanks for today," she said to me as she hugged me tightly.
She then just gave me a kiss on my cheek. "Wow, this is so beautiful," she said leaning on my shoulder still holding on to my hand, smiling brightly.
We both sat together, there until the sun fully went down. We sat there a while longer enjoying each other's company. I liked being around Carrie, she made me feel comfort and happiness. The simplest things she did and said to me were to different to me. I wanted to enjoy my time with her longer, but sadly my phone had to ring. Also it was Reid, someone I didn't exactly want to talking to right now. "Hello" I said in to the phone, with Carrie staring at me intently smiling.
"Hey bro! where you two at? Unless you two are busy going at it, ya know," he said joking.
"Shut up. We're at the beach." I replied.
"Oh, so you guys like having you fun there" he said, I can almost hear his smirk.
"We're coming, chill" I replied rolling my eyes, causing Carrie to laugh.
"Alright, bro. see you soon"
"Bye," I said hanging up, staring at Carrie who was just smiling at me.
"Reid and them are waiting for us" I told her as I got up, and offered my hand to help her.
"Aw, we have to leave now," she said pouting, while holding on to my hang to get up.
"I'll tae you can here soon, if you like" I said to her as we slowly walk towards my cay.
"Really?" she asked excitedly.
"Of course, I promise," I replied to her.
"That would be great!" she exclaimed.
When we got to there door I opened the passenger doors for her as she got in, then when we were ready, I drove us of to Nicky's. when I parked, I got out to open the door for Carrie. I had to par a block away from Nicky's due to the lack of parking space. As we walked towards Nicky's, Carrie kept a hold on to my hand and I lied that. When we were almost at the door Carrie stopped, so I turned around to see what was wrong. "I had a great day today. Thanks a lot Caleb." she said as she gave me a hug, then a kiss on the cheek before she released me from that warm sweet hug of hers.
We walked in and looked for Pogue, Karen, Kate, Terrie, Reid, and Alice. We spotted them at a table, so we walked towards them. "Hey everyone," said Carrie as we got closer.
In return we heard a mix of greetings from them. Carrie then went to sit next to Alice and I noticed next to Carrie was an open seat for me to sit next to her. I noticed my brothers smirk, and the girls wearing a triumphant smile. Too bad Carrie isn't into me thought. She was talking to Alice, as Reid tried to gain Alice's attention. Then Reid gave up and asked us all is we all wanted food. We all answered except for Carrie, "You don't want to eat?" I asked her.
"I'll steal food from you," she said quietly. "Unless this isn't apart of our date."
"Only if u want it to me." I said to her, winking.
"I get free food, so he what the heck." she said, laughing quietly. "Look at what you did, I spent one day with you and you managed to spoil me."
"I'll take it as a good thing." I replied.
"Here's your food" I heard Tyler and Reid say.
They handed everyone their food, we all ate. Carrie got up to go get a drink. I watched her as she walked over. She also started making conversation with Nicky. After a few moments we heard a loud crash. We then looked around to see people crowding the spot where Carrie was at ordering her drink. The three girls automatically rushed over and we all followed. When we got through the crowd we saw Alice and Karen holding back Carrie, while Terrie kept the space between Carrie and whoever that was on the floor. I just noticed it was a girl with blonde hair, but I didn't care who it was at the moment. I was just worried about Carrie, the look in her eyes was true anger.
All of a sudden, she escaped Alice and Karen's grip and managed to push Terrie out of the way with out hurting her. She grabbed the girl's hair to show her face and it was Sarah. Then she slapped Sarah in the face so hard that Sarah started to bleed at the corner of her mouth. "What bitch? Is that all you can do? I'm sure that would make you brother very proud" I heard Sarah say.
I saw Carried get even more made, which I didn't even think was possible. Carried was about to punch Sarah, but Alice and Karen pulled Carrie back in time while Terrie helped push Carrie back. They were all trying to calm don Carrie, but it didn't seem as id Carrie was even listening. At the corner o my eye, I saw Sarah stand up. "Your brother was probably so disappointed in you, that's why he overdose and killed himself, huh Carrie?" Sarah kept saying provoking Carrie.
"Ri, calm down. You know it's not true. You know Kevin loved you very much," I heard Karen say to Carrie.
"Yeah, this stupid Barbie, doesn't now anything" continued Alice.
"Kev wouldn't want to see you like this. Remember what he said, 'Pick you fight and you won't kill your own rights' C'mon Ri, chill," said Terrie.
Once again Carrie managed to escape, the three girls. So I went up to her and grabbed her by the waist holding her back. "Calm down. She's not worth it" I said in her ear trying to calm her down.
I noticed around us many people was still frozen in shock and fear seeing Carrie like that. One of them was also Nicky, who probably thought of her as a sweet, innocent chick. I know for sure Pogue, Kate, Reid, and Tyler was shocked. Carrie kept trying to escape my grip on her, while Sarah opened her stupid mouth to say something again. "Your parents probably hates you so much for killing their one and only son. That's why they sent you here, huh? They probably can't even stand to say your name, or even mention you."
Somehow she managed to escape my grip on her. Once again, Sarah was on the floor, as Carrie poured some random drink all over Sarah. She also slapped and punch her a few times. This time Karen, Alice, and Terrie managed to grab her and keep a tight grip on her. "Talk about my brother, parents, and friends again, I swear, you'll burn in hell. By the way, if you haven't fucking noticed Caleb's not into you and is not some kind o item you can claim. So stop being a stupid brainless blonde. This is the first and last time I will warn you talk about my brother or parents one more time and it will only take a second to make you feel pain." Carrie said to Sarah in a tone that sound as if she'll kill you.
She managed to get Karen, Terrie, and Alice to release her, and she just walked out of Nicky's. soon after she left Karen and Terrie managed to follow Carrie out, while Alice stayed behind to fix the mess, but before Karen and Terrie left they both glared at Sarah. "You know, you're lucky Karen didn't hospitalize you, cause if that was me you might as well be half dead!" said Karen in a death tone.
"You thin, you're so smart provoking Carrie, huh? Guess what, it's going to become your worst nightmare ever. So bad that you'll wish you were dead." said Terrie before they ran out after Carrie.
"you're going to wish that you can sleep with one eye open because you're going to need it." said Alice.
Alice cleaned up all the broken glass and well mess that Carrie made. Ate was the first one to come out of shock, so she helped Alice. Once they were finished Alice got a call. She picked up and listened to what the person on the line had to say. After a moment, "WHAT?" exclaimed Alice. "Did you two check everywhere around the block?"
She listened, then said, "Okay, we're coming."
Alice hung up grabbed her jacket and said "Carrie's missing!"
"WHAT?" we all exclaimed to the news.
"Yeah, c'mon let's go meet Alice and Karen." she said.
We all grabbed out jackets and followed Alice out. "If anything happened to Carrie, you better learn to watch your every move, step, and breath" said Alice in a serious tone, as she spoke to Sarah, before running out of Nicky's, as we followed behind.
