Chapter Three: Morning Troubles

The following day and in class, most of the class had been quiet and both Elizabeth and Caleb were talking, when Brian had shown up. Elizabeth only said "Great he's here" while Brian said "What do you have an issue with me?". Caleb said "Leave Elizabeth alone" while Brian only said "Oh look at this, Caleb has feelings for the new girl". Caleb just stood up "I said leave her alone" and Caleb had shoved him to the ground.

Brian only said "I see how it is" which he went after Caleb now and some Brawl had taken place in the classroom which Elizabeth had pulled Caleb off. This was when the Vice Principal came into the classroom unhappy. All she said was "all three of you come with me now" which Elizabeth couldn't believe she was being put into this. When they entered the Principal's office, all the principal said "So what brings you three".

The Vice Principal only said "these three caused a fight" however the Principal only said "Oh no, did you guys get injured and all that". The Vice Principal only said "Principle" which the Principal said "Right my bad, I am disappointed in all of you". Caleb said "First of all, this wouldn't have happened if dickface here didn't do what he did". Brian rolled his eyes before he said "Yeah well she would've still wanted you".

Elizabeth only said "Both of you enough" which she just didn't want to be there and the Principal asked "Elizabeth why are you here". Elizabeth only said "I don't know I was trying to break the fight up" which the Vice Principal only said "Sure you did". Caleb only said "It's true she was trying to stop the fight". The Principal had only said "well listen, I am disappointed in all of you, and so I have decided your punishment".

The Principal had added "you three are being placed on the Homecoming team" which Brian said "What, I don't want to work with these". Except the Vice Principal glared at Brian which Brian said "On second thought I'll work with them". The Principal said "You're to attend the first day this coming Monday after school". And the three were dismissed now, which Brian said "this is all your fault".

Caleb said "Mine? You're the one who went after Elizabeth" which Elizabeth said "Caleb's right" Brian said "Yeah of course you're siding with him now". Brian said "You know what, maybe Zoe was right about you". Elizabeth then said "Zoe is full of shit, and you know something Brian, Karma is coming towards you". Brian just said "Whatever, I'm out of here" which he walked off now.

Caleb only said "Today is not going great" Elizabeth only said "I'll see you later alright" which Caleb nodded and he said "I'm sorry about what happened". Yet Elizabeth replied "Don't be, at least I'm here to defend you". Caleb chuckled and he said "True, anyways I need to head to class, I'll see you later alright". Elizabeth nodded and she went off to her next class now, which had Emma in her next class.

The two were talking about something, to which Elizabeth said "I am gonna be going to the cheer tryout this weekend" which Emma said "Have fun I suppose". However Elizabeth only said "Why don't you try out, I think you'd do good". Emma replied "Me as a cheerleader I couldn't, I wouldn't be any good". Payton although says "Who says, have you ever tried it?" Emma said "No but".

Sydney added "Don't let your emotions control you, besides I think you both would look good in the uniform" she chuckled a bit. Then she said "Besides, I think Caleb would like seeing you in the uniform Elizabeth". While Elizabeth just tensed up a bit, she knew that Emma also liked Caleb and now she was concerned for her own friendship. However when she saw that Luis needed Emma's help with something.

It gave her some relief after seeing those two together like, at least she doesn't have to try and play all fighters over who she wants to be with and all that. All she had to do was hook Emma and Luis together and then she could have Caleb to herself. Besides it couldn't be that hard to do right? All they needed was the perfect moment. Elizabeth only said "Sydney, Payton Imma needs your help".

Sydney then said "What is it?" Elizabeth points at Emma and Luis, to which Payton said "Oh Luis, he's been trying to get to be with Emma for some time". Elizabeth only said "That's going to change, we're getting them together". Which Payton then said "That's going to be the challenge" but Elizabeth only said "Trust me I know what to do". It was another period class and such, and now it was lunchtime.

Elizabeth was looking and she saw that Caleb was sitting by himself, which only then she went over to him and sat with him and she said "Hey". Caleb had looked up and all he said was "Hey" and Elizabeth only replied "How's it going". Caleb shrugged "Hard, the feeling of being betrayed not only by your girlfriend by your own best friend". Elizabeth only could say "I know what it's like, in my last school it happened to me".

Elizabeth only said "Listen, I just wanted to say" however they were interrupted by Ezra and some of the other guys and luckily Brian wasn't a part of it. Caleb said "So what did you want to say" and Elizabeth said "I'm uh looking forward to practice". Caleb smiled a bit and he said "I am too, besides I think you'll look beautiful in the outfit". Julian only said "Y'know you two there's a new movie coming out this Sunday".

Caleb only said "Guys no, we've talked about this" however Elizabeth only said "Please, I mean what do you really have to lose now Caleb?". Caleb had looked at her now and he couldn't really say no to her and he said "Fine then, but just this movie". Ezra only said "There you go little brother, at least you have someone to hang out with". Julian added "And not sit in your room for most of the evening".

Elizabeth just said "Hey now, I'll sit in my room for most of the evening" which she got defensive of her own hobbies. However Brian came over and he said "What are you all talking about" which the table went quiet now. Ezra only said "Just screw off Brian" and Julian added "Yeah just do that for us for once". Brian only said "Jeez alright sourpusses" which he went off and Julian only said "I hate that guy".

Although they had noticed that Caleb was clutching Elizabeth's hand in this case out of stress, Julian then said "Caleb". Caleb had ignored them which Ezra said "Brother" as he snapped his finger which Caleb said "What?". Caleb looked down as he said "Ah I'm sorry" which he stopped which Elizabeth just said "Just unexpected really". Julian had only said "Don't kill her hand man".

The Bell had rang, which Elizabeth groaned as she hadn't had a chance to eat anything so now she had quickly eaten everything and they watched this happen. They were surprised at this, Julian then said "Jesus Christ, you have a bottomless stomach". Afterwards and in the next class, which was Chemistry and she and Caleb had this together so the two were sitting in class together.

Their Teacher had come in and he said "Sorry that I am a late student, traffic and all that. Now then today we will be learning of the chemical reactions your brain admits". Then the teacher asked "Now, we're looking at a romantic chemical reaction". He added "This reaction is the release of a hormone called Dopamine". He said "Dopamine is a hormone that is released when you're in the presence of someone who makes you happy".

The Teacher then said "A Great example would be when there is a connection between two people and they seem unable to stay away from them". He looked around the classroom before he said "Another case is when two people are in love". He added "Now, in many cases the Dopamine for love is usually hidden by those affected". The Teacher wrote down the chemical names for each effect of the brain.

Julian then said "So are we just learning these emotions" and the Teacher replied "Mainly yes however these emotions will hit you randomly". Before he said "But for two of our students it seems like the emotions are already affecting them. He was referring to Caleb and Elizabeth and the class knew this quite well. But the two were busy talking about their plans and all that but it took them a bit to realize what was going on.

The Teacher then said "This is a result of Dopamine itself, however it is on a minor scale. Once more it controls one's emotions for another person". This had gone one for a few minutes or so, or what felt like forever really and when it was done. The two were glad to get out of there and they split up to head to their own locker. Elizabeth seemed to be focused on her own thing, when Payton came over.

Elizabeth only said "Yes?" and Payton said "So, I was talking to Ezra and Julian about some stuff and Julian mentioned Chemistry Class". Elizabeth replied "Nothing special really, don't know what he's talking about". Payton said "Okay then, now I'm curious about what happened since you just mentioned it like that". Elizabeth only said "You'll find out about it more I suppose".

Payton had smirked a bit before she said "Who knows maybe you two will be the next great couple of the school and with the great homecoming game coming up". Elizabeth only said "Oh shut up, besides we're not even dating". Payton chuckled before she said "For now you guys aren't however, from what we've been hearing". Elizabeth only said "Oh great what now have you been hearing".

Payton chuckled "Apparently, according to Ezra, Calebs has been talking about you quite a bit" while Elizabeth only said "What about me? I ain't special". Payton replied "Well according to him, you're something to him". Elizabeth shrugged "Anyways I need to get to my next class I'll see you at tryouts tomorrow for the team". Payton nodded before she said "Personally I think Caleb will enjoy seeing you though".

Elizabeth just said "Shut up" and she went off, which Payton chuckled and she went to her next class and apparently, Elizabeth was stopped by Emma. Elizabeth sighed and she said "If this is about Caleb, we're just friends I don't know why people". Emma said "What? I wasn't, wait what is going on between you two". Elizabeth sighed and she said "After class I'll explain about it besides its the last period".

After Class, both Emma and Elizabeth were walking out which Elizabeth only said "Listen, they're trying to state that me and Caleb have something". Emma only said "Well I have seen how you two look at each other". Elizabeth said "Yea but like he said, it's too early for him to get back out there since You know the mess with Zoe and Brian". Emma said "Yeah but that doesn't mean he doesn't like you".

Emma stated "Besides I mean personally you probably do him better then I would" which Elizabeth said "Emma I ain't trying to" which Emma said "Its fine". Emma had gone off but Mia had come up and she said "What's wrong with her?". Elizabeth sighed and she said "She's jealous that there's that rumor going around about me and Caleb". Mia only said "We gotta find Emma a boyfriend before she snaps".

Elizabeth only asked "But who?" and the two took a minute to think and they said "Luis" and only a few minutes later, Luis had only said "I can't". Elizabeth only said "Why can't you" which Luis said "it's just… I have never been truly great with these moments". Mia just said "If we have to help you, we will" which Luis thought for a second. Luis then said "In a few weeks or so there will be a gaming championship held by Sakura".

Elizabeth only said "perfect, me and Emma will attend" while Mia said "I'll tag along to make the plan go through" while Luis said "Thanks". Caleb and Ezra and his friends were going by, Brian was not with them which was for good reason. Ezra only said "There's your girlfriend" while Caleb said "She's not my girlfriend". Julian then said "Sure she's not" which the group had gone by, which Luis said "So it's true then".

Elizabeth just said "What's true" and Luis replied "The Rumor, that you and Caleb are seeing each other" Elizabeth replied "We're not dating that's the thing". Mia only said "Elizabeth, just because you're not actually dating". Luis had added "Doesn't mean you can't have a fanbase of a possible couple". Mia said "We just see you two as a potential couple really since you two have seen each other's issues".

Elizabeth only said "Less of me and we need to get Emma figured out quickly" while Luis said "I'll talk it out with Sakura and Ezra about it". Luis departed, and Mia said "Good luck on your date Sunday, and I'll see you for tryouts tomorrow". Elizabeth nodded and she waited for her father to show up so she could get a ride home. Tomorrow only tells another tale to be unfolded before the student's eyes.
