Bailey’s povÂ
The ride was uncomfortable. It wasn’t silent because Mira kept questioning about Stefan and what had triggered Kaleb to fight his find, but his were so blunt and clipped that it made everyone feel uneasy.Â
So after a bit, Miradecided to keep her mouth shut and looked out the window just as I did.Â
They dropped me off first and as I bid the twoÂ
I the two poodbye I noticed Kaleh was too upset to even look at me.Â
My stomach twisted.Â
I didn’t mean to make him feel bad, I had just said those words to Mira to get her off my back. I didn’t mean them at all.Â
IÂ
I frowned, feeling the awful sinking feeling in my tummy as I watch them drive off. He didn’t horn like he normally did when he dropped me off and knew for certain that 1 had really upset him,Â
inceded to fox this.Â
I pulled out my phone and looked down at the screen, squinting as the sunlight casted a glow, I chewed my lips. I can text him but wasn’t sure if Mira would happen to see it.Â
So I made up my mind. I’d wait for thirty minutes to go by and then text him. By then he’d probably have already gotten home or at least dropped offÂ
Mira.Â
Fibeen minutes later”Â
I’m pacing my room, my thumb in my mouth as I bit my nails in nervesÂ
My mind was a storm of worry and regret (kept replaying the way he looked at me when he recited my words. He looked like he was in pain and I knowÂ
I let out a groan, stopped pacing and flopped on my bed.Â
I can’t help but be angry and disappointed in myself. Today had been the perfect chance to tell Mira, to officially spill the beans. But instead I had chokedÂ
p and hurt the only boy who has ever made my heart thromÂ
upÂ
buried my face in my hands and let out a loud un–prettily grunt. He had every right to be mad at me right now. I screwed up.Â
Ilie down on my back and stared at the ceiling, contemplating if to beat him now. My belly twisted in anxiety. Oh God, what if he doesn’t answer?Â
What if he hates me now?Â
At least try Bailey. It’s the least you can do.” I whispered to myself as I pick up my phone and opened the chat.Â
ath nervous, terrified and I don’t know what to sayÂ
How do i go about this? How do I apologize to someone like Kaleb?Â
A breath pushed out my lips and I find the courage to text him,Â
Bailey: I’m sorry for earlier, I didn’t know what to say in the moment and I didn’t thinkÂ
My trembling fingers press the send button and I waited with a staggering breath for his reply. My heart lurches in my throat when I see that he had read the message but after five minutes had gone by without a response furrowed my brows.Â

Was he that angry with me?Â
A bit frustrated that he let me on seen and didn’t reply, my thumbs quickly hit the letters.Â
Bailey: I know you’re pretty antry with me right now but I didn’t mean those words Kaleb.Â
I sent it and waited. My eyes glued to the screen.Â
SeenÂ
Did he just seen me again without a response?Â
I sat up and glared at the screen, The worst feeling is having someone purposely ignore you,Â
Bailey: You know I had to come up with something! Mira took me off guard and just blurted out whatever to make her get off our backs.Â
I sent, waited only to now glare at ‘seen‘ again.Â
I stood up and scowled. We were not even in a proper relationship yet and he was already giving me grey hairs.Â
How frustratingÂ
My thumbs furiously tap onÂ
the screen while i begun to pace the floor.Â
Bailey: I know your feelings are hurt right now but the least you can do is text me backÂ
I stopped, huffing as I press a hand to my hip and tapped my foot while glowering at the screen.Â
A minute goes by without him reading the message but when he does this time, he’s typing.Â
My hearts flutters and tingles of some sort rage havoc on my body. I rolled my lips between my teeth and waited with anticipationÂ
I am such a wreck of nerves, I flung my phone on the bed and burn around untill heard the soft ping sound coming from my phone.Â
I whipped around and quickly snatch the phone, only to furrow my brows at his textÂ
Kaleb I’m coming to pick you up in about three hours.Â
“What?” whispered.Â
Bailey: What are you talking about? Where are we going in three hours?Â
I wanted impatiently for him to text back and he surprised me when he did in a few seconds.Â
Kaleb: On our first date.Â
As my heart thrust against my chest rapidly he sent me another text that had my fingers shaking.Â
