Hey everyone thanks to my reviewers! I just wanna say if you read this story and like it or you want something to happen PLEASE review and tell me because it makes my day to read your reviews :) On to the story. Just warning you in this story there will be a lot of Pete bashing and a lot of Caleb and Cornelia cute moments! :) Enjoy.
The bell just went, and me and Matt made it out of our form room. We both had sports together and it was basketball this week and he wanted me to try out some of my mad skills to show that I was a better captain for this team than Pete. I only agreed to it because in form Will and Cornelia were talking about the girls cheerleading practice the same time we had basketball, so hopefully I could impress her with my moves.
We got into the locker room and over in the corner there was Pete and some of his mates messing around with one of the younger kids of this school. I felt sorry for this kid because he didn't deserved to be treated like that; he just wanted to play the game he loved. I was about to go over there and stop Pete but then the coach came out of his office holding a clip board.
"Hey, team it's a new year and one more trophy to be won" he said as he looked over his shoulder to the trophy cabinet. "We have a new member on this team today and before you ask Pete, yes he can play" Pete gave the coach a dirty look. "Please welcome Caleb Salvatore"
Before I could thank the coach Pete stepped in. "Come on guys lets show the newbie how it's done". Pete and the other members walked out onto the court.
"It doesn't matter mate, I don't know what Cornelia sees in him, and he's a right dick" Matt laughed.
"Come on lads lets show them your mad skills, hey Caleb" Coach Jason said as we walked out into the sun and onto the court. "I've just met your dad Caleb, he's told me that you are a great basketball player and you can sing and act, my wife is the drama teacher here and she is starting a new production this term, she wants guys like you"
"Hey what about me coach" Matt wined
"And you Matty boy" Jason laughed
As we walked to the court I saw Cornelia and the girls on the bleachers dancing and my God she was breath talking. She was golden. The think I love so much about this girl is that Cornelia is nothing like Pete, she still believes in love. She still believes happiness is waiting for all of us, and that our dreams are within our reach. She believes in goodness. She demonstrates goodness. She is full of hope and she delights in the hopefulness of others. That is what makes her golden.
"Alright guy's lets get started" Jason said breaking me out of my Cornelia trance.
We started a pair game; I and Matt were on the same team against theses other two and we were winning the coach kept coming up to me and congratulating me on my moves and Pete kept looking over obviously getting pissed. I kept looking over and Cornelia and catching her staring and me. Pete was in a team with one of his mates and the kid younger than him and they were teasing him again like they were in the locker room, so I decided to step in even though Matt though it would be suicide.
"Hey Pete is it, come on dude this guy is smaller than you at least pick on someone your own size" I shouted
"What you gonna do about it newb" Pete laughed and pushed the kid on the floor.
"Just leave him alone" I said as I went over to the boy and grabbed his hand and pulled him up.
"Hey mate" I whispered to the kid. "What's your name?"
"Tom"
"Your hurt" I asked as I looked at his leg that looked to be bleeding.
"Yeah" Tom whispered.
"Matt" I beckoned for him to come over. "Take him to the nurse"
"Will do Caleb" Matt said as he picked Tom up and started to take him away from the court.
"Hey dick, why you take away my toy" Pete sniggered along with his friends.
"What the hell is your problem? You don't like me is that it, just because I'm new and I'm better at basketball than you" I asked. That had to be done.
A crowd started to gather and started to oh and ah with my comments. Cornelia, Will, Taranee, Irma and Hal Lin and some other cheerleaders started to come other to the court to see what was going on.
"You bastard" Pete shouted and launched himself at me with his fist. Yep that started an uproar with the crowd.
Pete just missed my face and I turned round and kicked him on the back of his leg which set him falling to his knees. Cornelia finally made it over and started moving from the crowd, and she saw Pete then faced me, her face was shocked, in her eyes you could see panic.
"Pete come on leave him, he is not worth it" She said with a sad smile. Pete got up from his knees. He was still shaking with anger. He sprang forward but Cornelia was fast she grabbed his hand, but he pushed her away with force. Cornelia fell to the fall with a thump. Pete still running at me even though is girlfriend was on the ground obviously hurt from the force of his push. That isn't right; he doesn't even care about her well-being. Pete was approaching fast, so I dodged him and grabbed his t shirt and punched him in the face.
"How dare you treat your girlfriend like that you dick, you hurt her" I shouted in his face. I pushed him to the ground and made my way over to Cornelia who was still on the floor. I knelt by her side.
"Hey, you okay?" I asked
"No I think I hurt my arm" I looked at her arm and I saw red hand marks, where Pete had held her to tightly.
"That looks really bad" As I looked at her arm. "Let me get you to the nurse". I extended my hand out for Cornelia to grasp; she got up onto one leg, and then screamed in pain when she tried to move the other one.
"It's alright, it looks like you might have twisted your leg when you fell, let me help you" I moved in closer to Cornelia and picked her up in bridle style.
"Thank you Caleb, we barley know each other but thank you so much" she said as we made our way to the nurses office.
"No its okay, I always help pretty damsels in distress" I laughed
"So you do this to all pretty girls then?" Cornelia giggled. Does she know she laughs like a 4 year old?
"Nah only you, you know did you really hurt yourself when you fell from heaven?" I asked, Cornelia blushed and moved her head into my chest and she smelt like a summers day.
"You know that is one of the worst pickup lines I've heard in my life"
"Yeah but it works" I said as I knocked on the nurses office, and opened the door.
"I like you Caleb, you seem really nice and funny and your caring" Cornelia said.
"Thank you Cornelia, and your not that bad yourself" If she only knew. I placed her on the bed. "You want me to stay?" I asked but then the nurse interrupted us.
"Morning miss Hale, what do you need me to look at this morning" the nurse said.
"Um, I've think I might have twisted my leg while cheerleading" That's not right Pete was the one who hurt her.
"Ah I see, is that your new boyfriend Corny I never liked Peter" the nurse asked.
"No, he is my friend, Caleb meet Jenna"
"It's nice to meet you Jenna" I replied. Jenna moved searching for an nice pack, I went over to her out of ear shot from Cornelia. "Hey Jenna, Cornelia didn't do her leg in when she was cheerleading you know"
"I know sweetheart, I see the burses when she comes to see me, I know it is Peter who does this to her but Corny denies it because she loves him so much" Jenna said while placing ice in the bag. "Did you carry her here?"
"Yeah I sure did"
"You know Caleb I'm starting to like you even more, you like her don't you"
"You don't know how much…. I hate Pete for what he is doing to her"
"I know you will protect her, and look after her, I know you will be her savior" Jenna explained. Then she moved back and started to look after Cornelia's leg.
I started to move to the door, when I felt a hand slip into mine. "Thanks Caleb for everything you're my hero" Cornelia whispered.
"It's alright just get better okay" I said as I went out the door and slammed my first on a locker.
Jenna told me something when I was with her, she told me once "you shouldn't love someone you can't have".
Oh Caleb has been told twice about Cornelia and that he shouldnt love her, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens! Will Cornelia dump Pete and start falling for Caleb? You'll just have to read and find out! Sorry about any spelling mistakes :)
