{A Haleb love story} Beauty and the Hacker

Chapter 3

It was two days after the Caleb incident.  There was no way me and Caleb could ever go out for real. I mean he’s gross and bad and no! But I don’t know that for sure. And those eyes! Lost puppies. They sink into your soul. What am I saying? That could never happen and I don’t want it to. 

There was five minutes left of school and I was desperately happy. After the girls and I went over Spencer’s house the other day, we made plans to go to the Brew after school this afternoon.

For some reason I think he feels the same way about me that I do about him.  He doesn’t totally hate me, but he doesn’t really want to go out with me. But we both really don’t know anything about each other. But whatever. 

“Whatever. I have plans to catch.” I said and started walking away.

“See you around!” he replied and I could picture that smile on his face That annoying smile. 

“And just stop with that smile. It’s extremely annoying!” I said and walked out, but I could picture Caleb behind me obviously confused but smiling a

I finally got to the Brew. I stepped out of my car and instantly saw my friends siting in a table outside. 

“Nice of you to show,” Aria said and the other girls smiled. 

“Hey guys.” I said, waving to Spencer, Aria, and Emily. 

I walked to the seat across from Emily and sat down there.
