Pov: CalebI got home before my parents did. The first thing that I wanted to do was text Victoria and see if she was okay. I felt horrible for getting her in trouble with her mom. I should have asked her if she had a curfew before I ‘kidnapped’ her. I thought about the look on her face when she realized what movie was playing and couldn’t help but smile. Victoria was a bit of a nerd and it made me like her even more.I pulled out my phone to text her when I realized that I made a grave mistake; I had forgotten to take her number. I felt very frustrated with myself. I called Carl, Roy, and a couple of other people but no one had her number. I was just about to give up when I called Christine Shrute, one of Brianna’s friends.I asked her if she had Tori’s number but she said that she did not. I considered driving back to her house but I was afraid that I would make things worse for her. Most parents loved me but I knew that I had not given Victoria’s mother the best first impression by

Pov: CalebI drove home on that Friday evening the happiest man alive. I was stuffed with Mrs. Johnson’s lasagna. I was convinced that she was a wizard in the kitchen, her lasagna was the stuff of legend. To make things even better, I was going to prom with Victoria Johnson. I felt incredibly lucky. I could not believe that she actually said yes.I knew that asking her to prom was a huge gamble but it was a risk that I had to take. Coming up with the idea had not been easy since I could not go with the normal route. If I had asked her out in school, she would have been very uncomfortable. I went the cheesy route. I knew that she loves to watch romantic comedies so I went with one of the most romantic scenes I had ever watched.She had seemed dazed after she accepted my proposal. I didn’t know whether or not that was a good thing. The last thing that I wanted was to make her uncomfortable. During dinner, her mother carried most of the conversation. She seems a lot more interested in To

Pov: CalebMy phone was ringing. I picked it up to see who was calling. It was Tori again. I silenced it and let it continue ringing so that it became a missed call. I knew that I was not being fair to her but I still hadn’t figured out how to navigate the whole situation about our parents.I had not had a conversation with her since the night that I asked her to prom. That was the other thing, the entire student body had blown the two of us going to prom together out of proportion.“Why is the fact that she is not popular such a big deal?” I asked myself several times.They were all overlooking the fact that Victoria was extremely beautiful. That Thursday afternoon, I got home and headed straight to my room like I had for the past couple of days. I still wasn’t talking to my parents and I was glad that they were respecting my decision and giving me the space that I needed. I was on my bed listening to some music when Eric opened the door.“What’s up?” I asked him not moving from the

Pov: CalebShe wanted to be just friends. When she said that my heart broke. I wanted to be more than friends, to explore our chemistry. I knew that it would have been a gamble but I believed that it would pay off. I almost did not agree to her condition then I remembered what the past week had been like without her.I would take what I got from her without complaining if it meant that I didn’t have to go through that again. I hated that we would not get a chance to see what we could be. True to her word, she stopped ignoring me. When I sat with her in class the following day she talked to me. She was just as witty and sarcastic as ever.By the end of the class, we were stuck in a heated debate about why tomato paste is not called tomato jam since tomatoes were fruits and not vegetables. If you asked me how exactly we segued into that topic, I couldn’t tell you. I was just happy I had my girl back. We were packing up our things to leave when Brianna called my name.I groaned inwardly.

Pov: VictoriaHe was dating her. Caleb was actually dating Brianna; the spawn of Satan, the thorn on my side, the pain in my ass. Even after I told him what happened between Brianna and I, he still decided to ask her to be his girlfriend. “Victoria, are you okay?” Caleb asks.It was a Monday afternoon. Caleb had come over after school. He had accidentally let it slip that he had not watched ‘Love Actually” and since we had no homework that day, I had decided to force him to watch it. Everyone needed to watch that movie at least once. It was two hours of pure genius.He pretended to be uninterested but by the time we were thirty minutes in, he was fully engrossed in the movie. His eyes were glued to the screen and he leaned forward towards the television. I wanted to ask him how he was liking the movie and he actually shushed me saying that he didn’t want to miss anything. Caleb was a big old romantic at heart and I loved that about him. During the ending, in the airport scene, he wa
