Bailey's povMy bare feet crunch the grass under my feet and I cussed inwardly when I realized I forgot to bring shoes. I crane my neck to look at my room and let out an annoyed breath. I will not go back up there. With that thought I looked around. I could not go to Mirabella's on foot, that clearly would not work. It's late too. Raking my brain for a way to get there without mom and dad knowing, my eyes fell on my little sister's bright pink bike. It's small but not too small, just way girlie and well, very pink. But it was the only way I could get to Mirabella's without walking there. I rushed to the pink bike, making sure to not make noise as I pull it gently off the wall it was leaning against. I looked back at the window, ducking when I noticed the silhouette of my dad. If he catches me then not even mom would save me from not getting grounded for life!I kept my upper half bent as I rolled the bike to the road. Peeking back at my house, I grinned in triumph. The lights were

Bailey's povMy heart thrums in my chest painfully as I glowered at the bracelet in his hand, hoping that I was imagining things. But as time passed, I realize that the hand was still there and the bracelet was very well there too. How did he even know I was here?!My mouth suddenly goes dry when he speaks again, his voice holding so much amusement. " Are you going to stay under my bed the entire night Bailey?"He playfully waggle the bracelet, as if taunting me. I knew I couldn't stay hidden under his bed forever, and I also needed to come up with an explanation for being in his room and looking for the bracelet. Panic set in as I realized I couldn't just stay silent.With a deep breath, I squeezed my way out from under his bed, standing up and dusting myself off while I looked at the floor, now finding it more fascinating than conversing with him. " You need to sweep under your bed, it's dusty." I grumble, trying to play it cool and coy despite knowing how I was caught red hande

Bailey's povMy heart raced as I realized what he was insinuating looking into his eyes, struggling to process his unexpected proposition. His intense gaze held mine captive and I swallowed, my mouth running dry. " What?" I breathed out, my heart stammering as his lips brush against mine. Kaleb's expression darkened with desire, his voice a low, seductive murmur. " You heard me Bailey. I want you. Stop with the games, at least for tonight." He lift his hand, his thumb pressing to my lower lip and pulling it down a little. " Tonight lets forget about your lies, I just want you. You'll go back to acting like it wasn't you I slept with tomorrow. But tonight be mine." I tear my gaze away from his, lying once more as I place my palm on his chest to push him away, but I do not. " It wasn't. I didn't lie." The memory of our night together came rushing back and I'm frustrated that my body was so easy to melt into his touch and crave for more. Kaleb sighed heavily, His forehead resting o

Bailey's povThe sound blares in the room so loud it made me wince. My eyes snapped to the lit up phone and panic surged in. My palms on Kaleb's chest push him off me roughly as I roll off the bed, my knees falling to the floor as I grab my phone and put it on silent. But it was too late. Mira already heard. " Kaleb? Was that Bailey's phone ringing in your room just now?" Her tone held a suspicious edge that made my heart pound. I clench my eyes shut, praying that she would drop it. Kaleb lifted himself on. one elbow, looking at the door. " Clean out your ears Mirabella, you heard wrong."There's a pregnant pause before Mira spat. " I know what I heard you asshole. What's Bailey phone doing in your room? Is she in your room?" The accusation made me grow cold and guilt swam in my being. Kaleb sat up, looking over at me while I pleaded with him using my eyes. He sighed, running a hand through his messy hair that I had been tugging without knowing. " She's not in here Mira neither

Bailey's povWhen I thought I could feel relieved, that was not the case as Mira picked up the bracelet from the floor, pinching it between her fingers as her brows furrowed, eyeing it with a strange gleam. " It is," Her words come out confused and surprised, her eyes lifting to brother's. Her eyes narrowed as she stood up with the bracelet in her hold. She eyed her brother accusingly, one of her brows arching up in question. " Kaleb. What is Bailey's bracelet doing in your room?" My heart thrusted against my chest, my palms sweaty even more. Gone was the jealousy I felt for Jessica and replaced by stilling fear again. I waited with my breath lodged in my throat, waiting for what he would respond with. I hope he could come up with something good. But that hope dwindle when he just lifted a shoulder into a casual shrug. " I don't know Mira. Maybe you two were trying to prank me in my room and it slipped." His voice was calm, as though we were not on the edge of getting exposed.

Bailey's povThree days later and let's just say Kaleb and I were acting like strangers. When he would see me in the hall he'd turn the other way and I'd do the same. I will admit it hurt me, but wasn't that what I wanted? For everything to be back to normal?Yet even though I thought of this, my heart pang with every silent glare he sent me before turning away. Even Mira noticed the tension between us and asked me yesterday what was up. I lied and said that I found out he got a higher mark in biology than me. Mira who knew how Kaleb and I competed for the best score ate up that lie. I didn't really enjoy lying to her, and hated that I had to protect our friendship. " Hey guys," Katrina said, swinging her legs over the chair for her to plop down. She takes out a sandwich in her bag and starts to munch on it happily. She had been in an uplifting spirit since morning. We asked her and she confessed her parents were working it out and for the first time in a few weeks her mom and da

Bailey's pov" Come on guys," the coach blew his whistle, the veins on his neck pulsing. He raised an arm to sling over his glistening sweaty forehead. " Stop acting like sissies, one more lap." One of the boys on the team whined, yelling for a break. I swore the coach was about to pop a vein when he shouted no to the poor boy who looked ready to faint. " Get your silly ass up Connah and run some more!" He yelled, his face red. Mira and Katrina snorted beside me, pointing out how extremely red coach Balon face was. But my attention wasn't really on the coach or the other tired football players. My attention was solely on him. I hadn't been able to take my eyes off him. I always enjoyed watching Kaleb play football, but what I enjoyed the most was seeing how much he enjoyed it. He was the one leading and right behind him was Ryan and Stefan. All three of the guys looked like they were not even sweating as much as the other players. I bit my lower lip, my eyes dropping to his str

Bailey's povFor a guy who was limping he sure freaking walks fast! Kaleb had already got to the double doors before I even caught up to him. But you can't blame me, I had to run down the bleachers and across the field! I never claimed to be athletic. He walked into the the building and my quick footsteps turn into a sprint. I huff by the time I got to the door and pushed it open. He's not far up ahead and it almost seemed like he was slowing down. " Kaleb!" I called out, rushing over to him. He stops but doesn't turn around. I am panting when I finally catch up to him, worried a bit when he stays silent. " Are you okay? " I whispered, clutching my back as I eyed the side of his face. He nod and continued walking forward. My brows furrowed. Just a nod? Is he seriously going to act cold now when I am genuinely worried about him?I followed after him silently, concerned that if I said another word we'd be arguing....but I did want to make sure he was okay. He took a nasty tackle a
