Chapter Thirty-Seven: Violet
For a moment, I felt like I was embarrassing myself. I sounded like a clingy girlfriend. "I didn't think anything of it either until I saw that she had left her backpack and laptop in the living room. It would be kind of hard to do homework if your laptop and books aren't with you." I threw the stray blades of grass that I angrily ripped from the ground out in front of me. A huff of frustration left me, and I felt defeated. "It's not even about her canceling. It's that since she started dating this guy, she just disappeared. I mean, I'm happy that she is happy, but I also miss her, you know?"
A glance over at him had me blushing under his unwavering gaze. "I can understand that. The solution is easy though. You and I will just have to hang out more so that you won't have time to miss her."
I couldn't help but giggle. This man had turned me into a weak, pile of pudding. "What if I don't want to hang out with you more?" Was I flirting? Abort! Abort!
"Well, then

I sputtered as I tried to find a response. Caleb didn't seem to want to take no for an answer. He was like a little kid, always asking why. At the same time, I wanted to give him an answer. He wasn't alone in wanting to be together. Unfortunately, based on what Diana had said, I wasn't the only woman that was pining after him. His position in the school and on the team would require blind trust. As it is, everyone had a different story about Caleb or about me. I would need to be able to completely trust everything that he said and would have to block out the noise from everyone else. That would be difficult for anyone. I normally don't get involved with emotions, and the fact that I was already struggling with juggling them was frustrating. How people jumped from one emotional relationship to the next, baffled me. "Do we really have to talk about this? I thought you said we were good being friends." I turned my head away from Caleb and scanned the guy that we

The walk back to her dorm came and went faster than I had wanted. It would have been nice to get more time with her. Unfortunately, the sun was already setting, and it was getting too cold for us to stay outside. If I could guarantee that nothing would come of it, I would have invited her back to my place to hang out. That would have scared her though, and I knew it. She had just decided to give me a chance. There was no way that she would uphold her agreement to us being friends if anything physical happened between us this soon. I needed to give her time, no matter how much I hated it. Right from the beginning, I knew that I would do anything to be hers. It almost made me angry to think that we had been at the same school for over a year, and that party was the first time that we had interacted. Granted, I would have been in a relationship at the time. She was the kind of girl that I would have immediately dumped whoever I was with for. The first time that I saw he

He glanced over at me with a shrug that made me think that he could care less. Even if he tried not to show it, I knew that it bothered him from his previous reactions. "Violet can make her own choices. Whatever she chooses, I have her back. That means if you fuck her over, I get to do the big brother's job and fight you. You and I being friends, won't affect that. If you're good to her, then it is none of my business what happens between the two of you." "If she gives me a chance, I'll be good to her." I cringed as I watched the miniature version of myself on the screen throw a piss-poor pass that was easily intercepted by the other team. "We lost this game by a lot! Do we have to watch this crap?" Jones stomped down the stairs like a pouting child and smacked Tyler upside the head as he walked past and plopped back down onto the couch. "That is exactly why we have to watch this crap. We can never play like that again, it was all kinds of embarrassing. My p

I couldn't help myself from wearing Caleb's hoodie to class the next day. It was big, soft, and warm. The fact that I was dozing off during class, had more to do with the soothing piece of fabric that still smelled like him rather than the teacher's boring lecture. I was happy with my decision for us to just be friends. We got along really well, and it would be nice to have someone other than Chloe to hang out with. If I even still had Chloe. Jones was an oddball, but I could see him becoming a good friend too. It just might take some time to understand him. He seemed to be a very unique guy. If Caleb liked and trusted him, then I could too. Leaving my lecture, I wasn't expecting to see Caleb standing outside of the building, and my breath hitched when I did. "You know, some might say that you have stalker-like tendencies." I teased as I walked up to him. "Yeah, yeah. I'm crazy. Glad I caught you though." I watched as he fidgeted with a piece

"Well, I was thinking about telling her how much I appreciate when my friends and family come to my games to support me." He shoved his left hand into his back pocket, leaving the right to swing freely with the jersey in his fist."That's a good start, but you didn't actually ask her." My instinct was to reach over and nudge his arm, but I fought against the impulse to touch him."I was getting to that." He nodded. "Then, I would ask her if she was going to the game this weekend.""Of course, she would be going to the game this weekend. It's going to be the biggest game of the year so far. The entire school will be there." My dad had bitched about our rivals for the past two years. He always complained about how during most of their plays, they always left a gap in their coverage that led directly to their quarterback. Yet, they continued to win game after game. He said they were careless, untrained, unprepared, and lucky.He was a firm believer that you

The loud roar from the stands echoed through the stadium, causing the bleachers to subtly vibrate. The Demons versus the Jackals. A sea of blood-red, flooded one side of the arena while the other was consumed by gold and black. Camera crews were down on the field as they captured footage of the teams warming up and the fans losing their minds. Scouts were sure to be in the stands from how much this game had been hyped up. Both teams had been introduced and let out onto the field to the sound of an over-produced song. The loud music was blaring out through the speakers stationed around the audience. It drowned out the chatter and yelling between the two universities, making them shout even louder to be heard over today's overplayed hits. Chloe said that she would attend. She was bringing Ryan with her, but they were late. The teams were out, the game was about to start, and I was fighting off person after person who tried to claim the seats that I had been sav

"Not exactly. I'm still thinking about it. Right now, we are just getting to know each other as friends. If things progress, then we will have to take it as it comes." She pressed her lips together at my words, and I bit back laughter of my own when I heard the pun."Oh, I'm sure that you will take it as it comes." She shouted to be heard over the crowd and the music. A blush filled my cheeks as the person next to me turned at the obvious innuendo. I refused to look over at them. Instead, I stared wide-eyed at my best friend.I wanted to change the subject and ask her how she was doing with Ryan, but I couldn't do that with him right next to us."Look who finally noticed you?" Chloe asked as she gestured with her chin to the field. I glanced down to see Jones pointing at me. Caleb was standing next to him and looked up at whatever Jones had said to him.Our eyes met instantly, and a bright smile lit up his face. He looked relieved and ex

And so, the cycle continued. That Monday, as I was leaving my last class of the day, he stood outside the doors waiting for me. He was there again on Wednesday. We had avoided talking about the touchdown, much to my dismay. It wasn't that I didn't want to. It was just that my tongue-tied and my stomach clenched with nerves every time I thought about asking him.As much as I missed Chloe and wanted to talk to her about everything with Caleb and Ryan without the screaming of a crowd to yell over, I was also extremely grateful that I was getting the alone time to get to know him more. He kept me laughing and on my toes with his witty jokes.On the following Friday, I was disappointed that he wasn't there, but he had been away for a game the night before and was probably tired if he had even returned yet. After I sent an unanswered message to Chloe to see if she was free to go to the dining hall with me, I made my way back to the dorm room.It wasn't that I was scar
