Anna's pov I couldn't sleep a wink last night because I was up thinking about the best way to confess to Caleb. I woke up in the middle of the night at 3 a.m and made my way to the bathroom mirror and rehearsed what I would say to Caleb. "Um..hi..i Caleb." I stammered. I kept on blabbering and stammering even though I wasn't staring at Caleb but my own reflection. I could still feel my heart pounding so loudly my chest as I was so damn nervous. Can I actually do this? I wasn't that confident in myself. I sighed again as I got back into bed trying to get sleep because I need the rest for what was about to go down tomorrow but my eyes won't sleep as my head was just filled with thoughts. Even though I was excited about it, I was also a little bit nervous. Dating Caleb would be a dream come through for me and it would also mean that I would have my first boyfriend before finishing high School. That was my dream. My alarm clock was set at 6:30 a
Anna's pov His look of surprise changed quickly as he narrowed his eyes immediately. "Tsk so annoying." He muttered as his eyes met mine. He stood up and I followed him with my eyes as I furrowed my brows in confusion. "I knew you were naive but I didn't know that it was to the point that you had no brains in your head!" He sneered menancily at me. Wait! What the heck is going on here? Caleb was acting unlike himself ,he was surprised a minute ago and now he was talking to me like this just as if he just changed into a different person. "W..what... what are you saying?" I stammered , unable to believe my ears. He insulted me just now and it felt so unreal. "Has it gotten to the point that you don't hear anymore,do I have to spell it out for you ? Fine then if that's what you want "Caleb scoffed as he stuffed one hand into his pocket. "I. don't. like. you. and I never did just get to the point into your damn head." He tapped his finger on the side of his head. I was just sit
CALEB'S POVEven as I walked away I still can't believe that Anna was brave enough to tell me she likes me. It is still a surprise to me. Her tears did not affect me one bit. I was never interested in her nor did I care for her one bit. It was all a show,a show I was so used to putting on when guests came to visit our house.Even though my Father would beat the crap out of me I would still smile at our guests. That was how messed up it was.I scoffed as I remembered bits of my childhood.After what Vincent told me the other day I was pissed and I saw no need to be friends with her anymore, it made no sense to hang around her when Vincent wasn't much interested anymore.It was fun while it lasted. I proved to Vincent that I can take what he wants and he couldn't do anything about it.The way he easily gave up brought a smile to my face.At least I could say I hurt him after what he did to me.Mira was the only girl I could say I fell completely in love with and yet he had to snatch h
Anna's pov I was not in the mood to think about Vincent and his troubles. He was the one that got me into this mess in the first place. "They could all go crawl up somewhere and die!" I hissed. "Woah Anna easy, Vincent is…" "I don't want to hear his name anymore." I cut her off. "I don't know what he wants and I don't care, just please don't talk about them anymore." I muttered. Sarah sighed. "I am sorry this Is all my fault if I didn't presusde you to confess to Caleb this won't have happened." Sarah apologied sadly. "And if you didn't I would still be thinking he was my friend it was only a matter of time before he got tired of pretending." I sighed. "It's fine I understand now that being too trustful has its downfalls." I sniffled. "But Caleb…" "Let's not talk about it anymore. I am done with anything that concerns him, please don't talk to him. I still don't know what he's capable of doing." I told Sarah,She said nothing. I knew she might want to confront Ca
Anna's pov Words were easier said than done. Even though I made my resolution that I will get over this, my resolve quickly melted away when I had to go to school the next day. Mom was supportive and told me it was best. I went to school so Caleb won't think that I was so hung up on him that an ordinary rejection would make me skip school. I was apprehensive but I went to school early as usual. I didn't cry anymore after mom talked to me yesterday, I fell asleep in her embrace and was only woken up when mom called me to eat dinner last night. I was careful to look out for Caleb so I won't run into him but I was more careful about the new guy. I didn't want to come across him and felt like I was trying to avoid Vincent all over again. The only difference was that Vincent was finer. I would say that the rest of the day was uneventful since I tried my best to stay out and haven't gone to the secret hideout since my last encounter with Caleb.
Vincent's pov Anna asking me to give her my sweater was surprising to me. Even though I didn't want to at first since I needed it, I still tossed it at her because I knew she would never ask for my help if it wasn't something that was important. I wonder why Caleb wasn't sticking to her like glue today. It seemed as if he was her shadow because I saw him.with her practically everywhere. She thanked me as I continued walking back to class then I saw him,the new guy in my school calming to be tough and strong, bullying everyone and trying to see what I would do. Honestly I don't care what he does. I got sick of bullying. Yes I didn't think there would be a day I would say it but yeah I don't think I feel like bullying anyone anymore. That is unless it cannot be avoided because some people are just plain stupid and ask for it. I just gave up on bullying after what happened with Anna,that hit deeper than I thought. I shrugged it off as I continued to walk down the hallwa
Anna's pov Mom looked at me sadly but remained silent and her silence was killing me slowly. Sarah's mom didn't even pay attention to me or my question. I don't even think that she realized I was there because she continued crying as mom rubbed her back gently. "Mom, is everything alright? Where is Sarah ?" I asked and mom sighed. "Sarah is fine Anna, you should go to your room." Mom told me. I was not convinced because she was acting weird so I stayed rooted to the spot. "But where is she mom?" I asked not wanting to leave until I got the answer I needed. "Anna, just go to your room." Mom sighed. I was about to speak again when I heard footsteps down the stairs,I glanced over to the stairs and I saw Sarah coming down the stairs. Oh goodness she scared me! Mom scared me as well,why was she delaying to answer my questions? I sighed in relief as I ran to her and embraced her tightly. I was fearing the worst but now that I saw her I was relieved. "Oh Sarah I missed you
Anna's povSarah's voice sounded hoarse from crying and judging from my wet pillow case I think she had been crying in my room as well.I felt so bad I didn't know what to do at this point. She always stayed with me when I got bullied but I just couldn't do anything to help her. Now I could only sit and listen to her."Even if they don't tell me ,I know what's wrong. I just hope they get through it . I don't want to lose my family over this." Sarah said sadly.I felt sorry for her as I consoled her. I just hope that her family gets over this because I actually thought that yesterday something bad happened to her.We started talking about schools and I remembered about the new bully in school. I asked Sarah if she knew his name."He's called Tom,he transferred from another school." She told me.Trust Sarah to know the latest happening in school.Tom was going to be a problem for me if I did nothing about it. Right now I don't want any trouble or problems. I don't know why he transfe
