Caleb Harper.
I stood waiting for Josh and his new step-sister to my dismay it was only Josh who approached me. Where is she? I thought she was coming to our school, well that’s what he told me a few days ago unless he was wrong or she changed schools at the last minute but highly doubtful.
“Caleb my man.”
“Josh.”
We fist each other. “Where is she?”
“Who?” He asks, confused.
“Your new step-sister. I thought she was coming to our school?”
“She is.”
“So where is she?”
“She left early.”
“What did you do Josh?”
“Who? Me?” He grinned.
“Yes, you.”
“Nothing. Nothing at all. She didn’t want to be seen dead with us. She’s a bitch.”
“You expect me to believe that, after everything you said?”
“Believe what you like, it’s the truth.”
“Can we just go?”
“Sure.”
We walked down the street meeting with our other friends.
After registration and getting our timetables we parted for lessons. I wanted to meet her to see why he hated her so much. Then someone bounced off me.
“s**t I’m sorry.”
I looked down at her f**k she was beautiful. “It’s fine. Are you lost, sweetheart?”
“Yeah, it’s my first day. I’m so f*****g lost. I asked for directions, but people are so f*****g ignorant here.”
“They are,” I admitted. “So what room are you looking for?”
“10.51”
“Cool I’m heading there too, come on sweetheart.”
She smiled, f**k that smile I could drown in it, her voice was like an angel.
She walked by my side. “Oh I’m sorry, where're my manners? I'm Caleb Harper.”
“Hope Evans.”
Shit, it’s Josh’s sister. Play it cool Caleb play it cool. I put my hand out and she took it and I shook it. “Well, it’s nice meeting you, Hope Evans. I hope we can be friends?”
“I’d like that.” She smiled, and f**k I melted right then.
I don’t understand why Josh has got it in for her; she's not seeming like a b***h to me.
I dropped my hand from hers as we walked down the corridor. “So why did you come here, Hope?”
“My stupid mom decided to get married again.”
“I see.”
“I didn’t want to leave my old school, but she insisted we move into their house when they could’ve easily moved into ours. Mom said their house was bigger, but who gives a f**k on size right when you lose everything because your mom decided it’s time to move on. We’re not exactly rich or poor but I liked it there. I had lots of friends there. I doubt I’ll find any here.”
“I’m sure you will.”
“Not if it has anything to do with Joshua Kingsley it won’t.” She seethed.
So that’s what he pulled on her this morning, no wonder she didn’t want to walk with us.
“Well, you’ve made one new friend, Hope.”
She smiled. “Thanks, that means a lot.”
“Well, here we are.”
“Thanks for showing me where the room was.”
“My pleasure I’ll show you around, you’ll get used to this place by the end of the week.”
She smiled.
“So are you ready for an hour of torture?”
She laughed.
God, she’ll be the death of me. Her laugh was so sweet to the ears. I opened the door. “This way my lady.”
“Thank you, kind sir.”
We laughed as we entered the room. I could sense this being the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Maybe more?
