🌻 22 🌻

It started to get cold then warm again and vice versa. Those such as Bex who never lived here before or a place like this wouldn't know what it's like until it happens. And she wasn't prepared at all.

“How could she be shivering in this room? They have no air condition in here.” Caleb says as Bex kept on shivering while wrestling with some guy.

“She's not wearing a sweater like you are, no reason you're sweating. It’s not even that cold outside.” I say rolling my eyes at him.

“Well, excuse meee. I didn't know what the weather would be like after yesterday. Strong winds, no sun.” he muttered crossing his arms.

“Anyway, I heard it might have got warmer after school. So guess all of us who prepared for the cold are going to suffer.” Diara grumbled causing Caleb and I to groan.

After Bex's practice was over, she was shivering more once we walked out the room. “Maybe you should change into the clothes you wore today.” I suggest.

“That mini skirt might help you, it's possibly warm outside.” Diara said as we walked down the hall.

“So...meaning it could possibly be cold outside still.” Caleb says earning a glare from Diara.

“I'll take my chances!” Bex says running to the nearest bathroom.

“I would not change in a bathroom at school.” Diara says shivering in disgust.

“Maybe she should keep her leggings on just in case.” Caleb says turning to me, completely ignoring Diara.

“What if she's sick?” I say frowning.

“Then you're on your own walking with her.” Diara says and I glare at her. “I'm only slightly kidding, now I have to go help with hair today.” she says hugging me and I hug back reluctantly. “See you.” she says pulling away and runs down the hallway, eventually out of our sight.

“Can't believe she left like that….” Caleb grumbled and glanced at the bathroom Bex went into. “I think I have something to do too.” he says about to run off, but I grab his collar before he does.

“I said if, not she is sick. Geez!” I huffed and let him go.

“Rather be safe than sorry.” he mutters as he laid his head and arm on my head, making me glare up at him.

“I'm not a head or arm rest!” I yell trying to push him off of me. But he laughs putting all his weight on me, making it harder to get him off. “Calleebbb.” I groan giving up and eventually some of his weight is not on me.

“Do you like her that much?” his voice was more hushed as he spoke.

“Why..?” I mutter as I feel heat rise to my cheeks.

“You're lesbian?” he asks getting off me.

“No!” I shout and he blinks.

“But you seem to only be attracted to girls in rare moments.” he says huffing.

“Well...most girls are attractive, I guess. Well not always to me. What I mean to say is most guys I've seen aren't attractive. Wait!” I say raising my hands up as he glares. “That's not what I meant, look I hardly think anyone is attractive. I don't always tell you guys when I think someone is. But I don't just think girls are attractive.” I say finally getting my words together.

“So you're bi?” he asks leaning against the wall.

“Um well...I guess So? I don't know. I could like anyone really.” I say struggling. “Why are you asking?”

“You just never said so I asked instead.” he says shrugging also. “Guess I'm the straight one in this group.” he says with a grin and I roll my eyes smiling.

“I think that's really amazing, good to have some variety.” I say with a wink and he pinches my cheek making me glare.

“Don't wink, you can't wink good.” he says causing me to gasp.

“Um...are you two done? Or do you want me to wait in the bathroom until you two are done?” I hear Bex say and immediately pull away from Caleb who's now laughing.

“Ye-Yes!” I say as I feel heat rise to my cheeks again.

How much did she hear? Were we too loud? Does she know I think she's attractive? Does she know I possibly have feelings for- No. I don't, she's just an attractive girl I know. Nothing more. Caleb is attractive and Diara is too. God...I don't like all of them like that. Do I? No! It's just Bee- I mean no, not her. I don't like anyone, not that way.

“Um..Karter are you okay?” I hear her say and notice she's right in front of me. Her hand raises up and lays on my forehead, she checks with the back or her hand too.

I can feel my face getting hotter. I glance around trying to calm down. But my eyes end up on her. Her thighs look nice- Eyes up Karter! Her electric blue eyes look right into my eyes.

“You're red, do you not like being this close?” she asks pulling her hand away.

“Uh no, that's not it…it's fine.” I mutter feeling my own forehead.

“Isn't that just adorable.” I hear Caleb say and shoot him a glare as he starts walking. “Come on you two, or I'm going to tell the administrator that I'm the last student and they can lock up!” he yells when he starts going further down the hall, that causes us to run after him.

We go our separate ways. I wave goodbye to Caleb and start walking my way home with Bex. The after school buses left too fast sometimes, so I decided to not rely on them. I also couldn't ask my parents to pick me up from school every time Bex had practice or something. So walking was probably the best option, also I guess it gives me some extra exercise.

Thoughts of the conversation between Caleb and I wouldn't leave my head. I wanted to know how much she heard. And depending on what she heard...how did she feel about it?

“Bex.” I say filling the silence, causing her to look at me. “Um what did you hear? You know, when Caleb and I were talking.”

“I remember you two were talking about your sexuality.” she says and I bite my lip waiting. “I think that's all I remember. Why?”

“Oh.” I say relaxing and she raises an eyebrow. “Nothing, never mind.” I said shaking my head and she nodded as we stopped walking. “Well, see ya.” I say and she smiles.

“See ya Karter.” she says and we go our separate ways.

Immediately I get a snack and go to my room to start working. As I started to work on my homework I heard footsteps coming near. I knew it didn't belong to either of my parents since they weren't very loud.

“What is it Peta?” I ask not looking up from my work.

“How did you know it was me?!” he gasps causing me to roll my eyes.

“Who else could it be with such sneaky, small footsteps?” I asked glancing up to see him pouting before stomping into my room.

“Dad says it’s time to go driving. He says I can come too! It'll pass time while we wait for dinner.” he announces causing me to groan.

“Tell dad I'm doing my homework right now.” I grumble.

“Tell your sister she can finish it later.” I heard dad say and look up to see him standing in my doorway.

“Hi dad…” I grumbled before looking back down at my homework trying to finish quickly.

“Come on mommy#2, we already have a mommy working her butt off. You both need to take a break, but since she's my wife I can't force her.” dad says chuckling and I huff.

“After my homework, pleeeaseee.” I plead looking up at him and he sighs crossing his arms.

“Fine, also Peta says he wants to see that friend of yours again. He says she's nice. So maybe one day we can invite her over for dinner. You're other friends should come too.” he suggests and I groan.

“Yeeesss dad.” I say and he nods before leaving my room.

“Dad says when I'm in middle school...umm seventh grade, I can have friends over!” he says making me glare.

“That's not fair, I just know started doing more things. My first year of high school is when people could come over. I'm still not even allowed really to go to other people's houses.” I mutter as he climbs up on my bed.

“Well, maybe they love me more!” he says sticking his tongue out causing me to roll my eyes.

“I highly doubt that, now go away.” I say and he pouts.

“Daaaddd! Moooommm! Karter told me-” he didn't finish because I put him in a headlock and gave him a knuckle sandwich. “Let goooo! Stooopp!” he squeals and eventually squirms out of my grasp. “Meanie!” he says getting off my bed and sticks out his tongue at me, before running out of my room.

I roll my eyes with a smile before finishing my homework. Once I was done I put it up and got my phone. I decided to just make another group chat so I could tell all of them at the same time, about having dinner sometime.

Me:

3:24 p.m.

Diara:

Bex:

3:26 p.m.

I smiled a bit and went to her contact. She said it was okay, the nickname suited her. Her contact name was now Bee with a bee emoji. I took a screenshot and sent it to the group chat on accident. I meant to send it to our private chat.

Caleb:
Well what do we have here? My contact name better have an emoji too *glaring emoji*
3:27 p.m.

Bee:
Cute! *smiling emoji*
3:27 p.m.

Diara:

3:28 p.m.

I rolled my eyes smiling and started to add emojis to their contacts. Caleb had a giraffe emoji, since he was so tall. And I had Diara a unicorn emoji, since she loved animals such as these. Then I sent the screenshots.

Caleb:
Well that took you forever *narrowed/closed eyes emoji*
3:31 p.m.
