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 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 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 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

Bailey's povI could feel the collective gaze of the room on me, and I struggled to come up with a reasonable explanation for the hickey. But nothing seem come to mind and my temples pinch slightly. Katrina glanced at me with a knowing smile, her eyes dancing with amusement, while Nurse Charles simply raised an eyebrow, as if she was waiting patiently for the excuse I would come up with. Does Katrina suspect what was going on?Kaleb's lips curved into a sly grin as he leaned back on the bed, clearly enjoying the situation he'd put me in.Before I could come up with an excuse, Mira pressed on. " It's so red and looks fresh," her brows furrowed as she stared at me confusion and surprise. She moves closer to me to obvious inspect it to make sure and by instinct my hands lift to cover over it. Well where I thought it was.Damn you Kaleb. I cleared my throat my mind and heart racing. "Uh well, it's just a..." my head hurt as I try my best to come up with something that won't have Mira
