Chapter 1: The Confession

Deborah's POVI've been secretly in love with Caleb for ages. Today, right after the match, I'm going to finally confess."Go Caleb, Go Caleb," I shouted excitedly from the sidelines as I snapped several photographs of Caleb Hall as he sprinted down the court. My big rimmed glasses slipped down my nose, but I didn't bother to push them back up as all that mattered was capturing the perfect shot for my perfect star. "Way to go, Caleb! I see some hustle, Liam," Coach Justin shouted from a corner of the basketball court, but all I cared about was Caleb, my sweet Caleb. I am Deborah Fleming, the basketball team's assistant that no one cares about and I love this job because it mostly keeps me close to Caleb, my crush since childhood. The same crush I've been harboring for years, building up the courage to finally tell him how I feel.Just as Caleb made a slam dunk, the ball bounced off the rim and shot straight at me. Before I could have time to react, it hit me squarely on my nose, mak

Chapter 2 : The Deal

Deborah’s POVI don't know what I was hoping for. Maybe I was hoping for the ground to open up and swallow me whole. Or maybe I was hoping I had confirmed that Caleb was alone before I baring my heart to him and telling him my secret. Or maybe I was hoping for Caleb to stand up for me and stop Olivia. But as I looked at Caleb, then at Olivia, then at all the students that had gathered around me, pointing fingers at me and laughing at me, I felt my face wet. I touched my face and realised I was really shedding some tears and that gave Olivia all the satisfaction she needed. Unable to stand there anymore, I ran out of Caleb's dorm, absolutely embarrassed. As I pass through the hallway, several of the students laugh loudly at me. “What's going on, Debby? You're trending on Olivia's insta,” Charlotte, my best friend, mouthed to me as she saw me with an apologetic look on her face. I couldn't answer her nor could I return to my room to cry in peace as Olivia had said. Everywhere I turne

Chapter 3 : My First Flirting Lesson

Deborah’s POV“You help me and I'll help you get Caleb,” Liam said. “And boom, you'll be swinging fifth base in no time.”Unable to understand what he was driving at, I stared at Liam. It seems he realized my confusion so he added, “That's a sexual reference for you seeing as you want to have sex with Caleb.” I take a deep breath, “It's not just sex, I love Caleb,” I replied, adjusting my glasses on my nose. “I've been saving myself for him,” I added even though I know a guy like Liam wouldn't understand. “So, do we have a deal?” Liam asked. “Okay. But I need to clear something up. Swinging fifth base?I thought it was sinking in dunks as we don't have bases in basketball.”Liam chuckled and replied simply, “You have some work to do.”“You think I'm a joke, right?” I asked Of course everyone in the school had turned me into a laughing stock, he wouldn't be any different. “It's called teasing, Deborah,” Liam laughed simply with a light jab on my shoulder. Seeing that I wasn't lau

Chapter 4 : Liam To The Rescue

Deborah’s POV “They are just eyes and I have two of them like everyone else,” I said plainly, wondering what exactly he was playing at. “Come on, Deborah. I was flirting with you,” Liam said, with a roll of his eyes. “You see, this is why I need help,” I groaned in frustration. The fact that I did not realise Liam was flirting with me, meant it might have been possible that Caleb had flirted with me in the past and I did not know, “Oh my God. I'm a hopeless case,” I groaned, feeling sorry for myself. “Why couldn't I see what you were doing?” I asked as I moved back to my bed to sit. “You just have to be open to signals. Don't be Deborah the ignorer,” Liam said with a small smile. I realise this wasn't the first time Liam had called me Deborah the ignorer. “Did I ignore you?” I asked, trying to figure out the reason behind the nickname. Liam looked like he wanted to say something, but was holding himself back. “Why would you care if I ignored you?” I asked again, wondering if he
