Chapter Thirteen: Caleb
My body protested as a loud noise pulled me from my sleep. It was Saturday, and nothing stops me from sleeping in on the Saturdays that we don't have practice. I turned my head to get comfortable again and quickly fell back asleep.
It felt like it was only a moment later that I was forced awake once more. The sound of Brick, our team's fullback and fraternity house president, yelling through the bullhorn pulled a groan of irritation from me. It was a stupid tradition that the house had after big parties, but it was one that I used to be entertained by… if they could wake me up in time to watch. At the moment, it just feels stupid that I was ever a part of it.
Girls shouldn't have to go through the hazing that they were put through just because they had sex. There was nothing wrong with it. I was elated when there was no movement from the bed next to me as Brick proceeded to announce the famous Kappa walk of shame. It made me happy that my mystery bandit was not getti

You don't know true boredom until you've sat through Professor Nelson's bi-weekly lectures on The Fundamentals of Corporate Finance. Two hours of furiously typing notes as he blabbered on always put me in a bad mood, but if I wanted to graduate, I would have to take the class sooner or later. I wished it would be much later… or never, but that wasn't an option according to my academic advisor. As he droned on in his nasally and whiney voice, my keystrokes got more forceful until I was practically stabbing through the plastic of my laptop. My eyes dropped to the bottom right corner of my screen every few sentences to check the time as the end of class approached at a snail's pace. When Professor Nelson finally dismissed us, I shoved my laptop in its case as I stood, eager to get out of the building as soon as possible and beat the rush to the local coffee shop on campus, FIX. Whoever chose to name it that may have thought that they were clever, but it truly was a stupid name. It opene

It was a long week of avoiding the hunt. Luckily for me, I had mastered hiding my tattoos under makeup from when I had job interviews back in high school. Granted, it was annoying as hell that I had to do it every day, and I continuously complained when I had to touch it up a few times in between lectures. I had made it a point once they were covered to wear a short-sleeve shirt, despite the cold weather just so no one would stop me to have me pull up my sleeves. I'm pretty sure they could get in trouble for harassment if anyone turned them into the school, but everyone seemed to find it hilarious and willingly showed their arms when asked. I even heard a few people wish the team good luck in finding me as they walked through the makeshift checkpoints. They were efficient. I would give them that. They had been outside the business lecture hall a few times throughout the week, and I even caught them outside of the dining hall at one point. Just like today, I w

"You know that you look ridiculous, right?" Chloe said as she walked beside me across the quad. I glared over at her from under my sunglasses as she tucked her hair behind her ear. My eyes rolled over her outfit, and I internally grumbled at her long sleeve blue top, standard carpi pants, and white vans. If she had listened to me when we were getting dressed, I wouldn't look so ridiculous. My hair was tucked under my black hoodie, and I wore the same dark pair of skinny jeans that I did at the party. "The whole point of this was to be incognito." I huff at her as she let out a laugh. "So, instead of dressing normal so that we don't stand out, you decided to dress like you were going to rob a liquor store? At least loosen the string on your hood, so it isn't so tight around your face. Be cool, woman." I swatted her hands away when she reached over to untie the string and adjusted it myself. "The last thing we need is for someone to see me going to the locker r

"Is that a threat?" My feet pulled me forward and around Chloe as I got closer the Teresa. "Oh goodness, no! I just wanted to let you know that your secret is safe with me." The way her eyes widened in feigned innocence was offset by the malicious emphasis in her statement. As if I would ever trust a secret to be safe with her. "Look, we are in a hurry, but I appreciate you checking on me. I am fine, clean, and healthy." I snapped before I turned and began to walk away again. Nothing sounded better than to get as far away from her as possible. Chloe stayed back a moment more, but I didn't listen to what she said to Teresa as I stormed off in my blind rage. Slight panting reached my ears as Chloe jogged to catch up to me. "Okay. I'll give it to you. She can be a bit rude at times, but she is a good person when she wants to be." She defended, and I planted my feet and turned to face her with the quickness of a possessed Chuckie doll. "

I ducked my head in anger as my pass fell short. A glance at Coach, with his face red and the clipboard ready to snap in his hands, I could see just how angry he was with me. When Diana and I broke things off, I couldn't throw to save my life, but that had changed after I met her, my mystery girl. It was like I wanted to impress her, and had been playing better than ever - until today. I could feel something hanging over me like a dark cloud, and I knew something bad was going to happen. "Briggs! Get your ass over here!" Coach yelled, and I recoiled slightly at the animosity in his tone. I didn't want to be on the receiving end of his anger, but there was no evading it now. Jones ran by me and slapped his hand down on my shoulder pad in encouragement before he continued down the field. I glanced up as a drop of sweat dripped off of my eyebrow, and I pulled my helmet off. Coach Anthony jogged back onto the field, and I watched with curiosity as he lea

Caleb, I can't tell you how perfect that night with you was. I'm sorry for all the trouble that you have gone through to find me, but I need you to stop. Please. You will one day make a girl very happy, but I don't think that girl could be me. I want you to step out of the path your parents set out for you, and if certain people found out about me (about us), that would never happen for you. You, of all people, should know the truth already, but some pretty shitty things are being said about me. So, I want to clarify a few of them for your peace of mind... and my amusement. Here I go, starting with my least favorite rumor to the absolute best one: 1. I've heard you may have an STD and were trying to track me down to either tell me that I have one too or to sue me for giving you one. From what I know about you, you don't seem like the kind of guy that would be so public about something like this

That night, I sat at the back of the bleachers as our school dominated the field. I rose to my feet with the other spectators as our team took the ball into the end zone. A noise of "Oh" left my mouth with the crowd each time one of the opponents took down one of our men. In all reality though, I couldn't tell you what was going on in the game. My eyes were locked on number 17 as he played the game like it was as easy as breathing. The stands were filled with red and black in school spirit. Holden University was a large campus, and we were all bound together like a large family ready to take on an intruder at a moment's notice. Our mascot, a cartoon-like demon, was wildly protested by the churches that surrounded the campus as well as quite a few parents. They would never take us down though. We were unstoppable, and the harder that they protested our mascot, the stronger we grew as an impenetrable united front. Every now and then, my eyes would drift from th

My lecture went by quickly, too quickly. Much to my neighbor's dismay, my leg shook the entire time and was partnered with the clicking of my pen. As everyone gathered their belongings, I sat stiffly in my seat. It wasn't until students started coming in for the next lecture, that I made my way from the hall. If anything should be called the walk of shame, it should be this. Having sex is not a shameful act. Leaving the next morning after a satisfying night of sex is not a shameful act. However, walking to my dad's office to get yelled at and judged for my latest one-night stand; I could practically feel the shame radiating off of me with every step I took. My lower lip sat pinched tightly between my teeth as I got closer to my destination. The further from the main campus I got, the emptier the halls were until it was just me and the chilled winter air to keep me company. The feeling of my heart as it thumped in my chest made breathing quicken as I k
