"Hi Calleigh, already home?" Natalia asked Hearing the door closing
She passed by Natalia Speedle and Valera who were watching a movie and went strighht to her room.
"What was that about?"
I'll talk to her. Nayalia said already getting up.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Get out please."
"Not until you talk to me."
"We don't have anything to talk about."
"No?"
"No."
"Then why are you mad?"
"I'm not."
"Liar."
"Just leave me the hell alone!"
"No, what did Eric do?"
"Nothing."
"What did he do?"
"Who's Jackie?"
"Oh... I see."
"Who is she?"
"A girl."
"Really? I thought she was a guy!"
"Wow, o.k., Eric has a crush on her, why do you ask?"
"Ah, he likes her."
"No, he has a crush on her, she wants to fuck with him, she's pretty so Eric wants to fuck with her too."
"For him that's all that matters isn't it? get someone laid, get friends with a girl, then fuck and that's it!"
"Calleigh, don't talk about what you don't know."
"What's to know? They want to fuck with which other".
"Calleigh..."
Her phone rang and she read the name on the screen and ignored it, getting uo furious when Natalia took it.
"Hey Eric."
"Nat?"
"Yes."
"Is Calleigh home?"
"Yes."
"Is she o.k.?"
"Yes she's just jealous."
"What?"
"She likes you, so your little flirting with Jackie today got her mad."
"Natalia shut the fuck up!"
"See."
"She doesn't like me."
"Who?"
"Calleigh."
"C'mon, are you that blind?"
"We only met two weeks ago. "
"yes, and she likes you."
"Sure she does, why don't you put her on the phone?"
"Whatever."
"She handed the phone to a very mad Calleigh."
"What do you want?"
"Are you o.k.?"
"I'm great."
"Are you sure?"
"Why do you even care."
"Wow, what did I do?"
"Well, I don't know, what was it?"
"o.k., you disappeared, you scared me."
"You called me an hour after I took off."
"I was looking for you."
"Yeah, were you doing that or were you fucking with your little friend?"
"Why hum? Are you jealous?"
"No!"
"Then why do you care if I fuck with her or not?"
"I don't!"
"Right Cal."
"My name's Calleigh idiot!"
She hung the phone throwing it against the wall where it shattered.
"Wow, calm down."
"You had no right to do that!"
"And yet, all I said was truth."
"It was not!"
"Right, calm down would you? you look like 2 year old on a fit."
"Get the hell out!"
No, you're going to get out and you're going o cool off, because I don't have to take your fits, if "you're mad be it, if you're jealous be it, but don't blame me!"
"I'm not jealous!"
"Then why are you mad?!"
"Because he ignored me completely!"
"So what?!"
"It was our hang out!"
"And you can't support another girl to show up?"
"She only wants to get him laid! That's all, she has it written all over her face! And it's written all over his face that he loves her!"
"So what?!
"He'll get hurt!"
"Why do you care?!"
"Because I care about him!"
"Will you stop yelling!" Valera asked screaming too entering Calleigh's room followed by Speedle."
"No!"
"What happened after all?"
"Eric run into Jackie at the carnival, and they were flirting so Calleigh got all jealous".
"I WASN'T JELOUS!"
"Of course not, you were just mad because he was flirting with a girl."
"FINE, I WAS JELOUS, I WAS JELOUS BECAUSE I LOVE ERIC, HAPPY NOW?"
"You're lying."
"Thank god someone sees it!"
"No, i mean, you don't love Eric, you like him, it's different."
"Calleigh threw her hands up and picked her jacket getting out of the house.
"Where are you going?!"
"Out!"
"Where?"
"Somewhere away from your stupid theories!"
"Don't get lost!"
"I won't."
She putted her jacket on and ran down the street.
...
"Where were you?" Natalia questioned as soon as Calleigh got in the house.
"Running,"
"Gross, you're all seaty."
"I ran you know?"
"Go take a shower, you stink."
"Thank you."
"Are you calm now?"
"Yes."
"o.k., just making sure."
...
"Hi Calleigh." Eric greeted hesitantly.
She nodded lightly with a cold look.
"Look, whatever I did, I'm sorry."
"Yeah, you've been saying that for the last two weeks."
"Yes."
"But you haven't figured out what you did yet."
"How did it go with Jackie?"
"What do you mean?"
"You were dating her right?"
"No, where did you heard that?"
"In a class, never mind o.k."
"I don't date her."
"Yeah, I've figured that already."
"I don't want to date her either."
"Wow, after that flirting at the carnival I couldn't tell."
"So that's why you're mad?"
"Yes."
"Calleigh, Jackie's the coach's daughter."
"I don't follow."
"Dating her would be death sentence."
"Right, so you're saying you don't like her?"
"Well, she's hot."
"I know."
"You're hot too, Natalia's hot too."
"Thank you I guess."
It doesn't mean I want to date any of you."
o.k., you blew it."
He chuckled lightly.
"I was trying to be nice to Jackie because I needed to."
"What do you mean?"
"Well she wants to get me laid."
"Yes."
"So I figured that if I pretended to like her she would tell me something."
"What?"
"I wanted to know who the couch's choosing for the finals."
Calleigh reminded this talk, the swimming team season would begin that month and 3 of the team's member were being chosen, but one of them would be the representative, what, according to Eric was a big step.
"The fastest I assume."
"Well, yeah, but me and Jim both have the same time, so the couch has to choose one of us."
"Isn't that like, using Jackie?"
"Well, she wants to get me laid to be popular so it's a fair game."
"True."
"So, we're good?"
"Only if you take me out for dinner."
"Where?"
"I was joking."
"I know, but where do you want to go to dinner?"
"Hum... your sister's café sounds good."
"O.k. pick you up at seven."
"O.k."
"And Cal, dress up, this is a date."
"I never agreed on a date."
"Do you want to go in a date with me?"
"A romantic kind of date?"
"Yes."
"S-sure."
"O.k. then, see you."
She stood there only to realize ten minutes later that she was late for a class and ran to the classroom knocking.
"Come in."
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear the bell."
"What's your name?"
Calleigh looked at the teacher realizing something.
"You're not Miss Benet!
"Nice you noticed your name?"
"Calleigh Duquesne."
"Sit you're late."
She walked to her sit sitting surprised.
"What happened to Miss Benet?"
"She's sick, what happened to you?"
"Eric asked me out to a date."
"Really?!"
"Yes, a romantic date."
"Wow."
"You misses talking in the back, want to share with the class?"
"No thank you."
Are you sure? I think they all wanted to know that miss Duquesne is going in a romantic date with this Eric guy."
Calleigh blushed deeply crossing an apologetically look with Eric that was blushing too.
"Oh, so you're Eric hum?"
"N-no."
"There's no point on lying my boy, we all know the truth.
"O.k."
"Great, now that we're all happy you can do whatever you want, but stay quiet."
"Wow."
"Yeah, I'm not that bad hum?"
"No."
"C'mon, go sit next to your date, I don't mind.
"Calleigh turned to Natalia and started talking to her as Eric did the same with Speedle."
"You asked her out?"
"Yes."
"Finally dude."
"What? I needed some time."
"You almost let her slip throw your fingers."
"Nah."
"Whatever man."
...
That afternoon all that was heard on the hallways was about Eric's and Calleigh's date.
"I heard he was taking her to that fancy dinner downtown."
"No way."
"Yes."
" No one talks about something else than you two now."
"I know, I had a dozen people calling me bitch today."
"Really?"
"Yes! What's up with this people?"
"Nothing, they're just jealous."
But who called you that?
"I don't know."
"I know you do."
"The two girls from physic's class."
"Those two hate you."
"I know."
"Well that's it, I'm skipping math."
"What why?"
"I don't feel like having math today."
"That's stupid."
"Maybe, but I'm getting an headache and those classes do not help."
"True."
"So, are you bailing too?"
"No, we have a test in two weeks."
"C'mon Cal, it's two weeks."
"I know, but I have some difficulties."
"You managed to do all the exercises the teacher gave you!"
"And you got an A+ on that evaluation thing."
"No one gets an A+ in math."
"I was lucky."
"No, you know everything, so please bail out, it's just one time, please Cal."
"No, sorry guys."
"Please."
"I'll skip health and sports, but not math."
"Fine."
"I'm still bailing."
"Me too Speedle agreed"
"We'll meet you at the gate after math then."
"o.k."
"see you."
"aren't you going to skip math?"
"No, I want to have a positive in that test."
"o.k."
"that's why i wanted to ask you something."
"o.k."
"Can you please give me some extra help?"
"Sure."
"Thank you so much!"
"Sure."
"So, how much do I have to pay you?"
"Nothing."
"Calleigh, please."
"Let's do this, I give you math lessons, and you give me swimming lessons."
"We got a deal then."
"o.k."
"now c'mon, we're getting late."
"Yes."
