    Bailey''s pov


    The ride was ufortable. It wasn''t silent because Mira kept questioning about Stefan and what


    had triggered Kaleb to fight his friend, but his answers were so blunt and clipped that it made


    everyone feel uneasy.


    So after a bit, Mira decided to keep her mouth shut and looked out the window just as I did.


    They dropped me off first and as I bid the two goodbye I noticed Kaleb was too upset to even look


    at me.


    My stomach twisted.


    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.


    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 I knew for certain that I had really upset him.


    I needed to fix this.


    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 I wasn''t sure if Mira would happen to see it.


    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 off Mira.


    -


    * Fifteen minutester*


    I''m pacing my room, my thumb in my mouth as I bit my nails in nerves.


    My mind was a storm of worry and regret. I kept reying the way he looked at me when he recited


    my words. He looked like he was in pain and I know he was.


    I let out a groan, stopped pacing and flopped on my bed.


    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 choked up and hurt the only boy who has ever made


    my heart thrum.


    I 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.


    I lie down on my back and stared at the ceiling, contemting if to text him now. My belly twisted in


    anxiety. Oh God, what if he doesn''t answer?


    What if he hates me now?


    " 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.


    I am nervous, terrified and I don''t know what to say.


    How do I go about this? How do I apologize to someone like Kaleb?


    A breath pushed out my lips and I find the courage to text him.


    Bailey: I''m sorry for earlier. I didn''t know what to say in the moment and I didn''t think.


    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 I furrowed my brows.


    Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Was he that angry with me?


    A bit frustrated that he left me on seen and didn''t reply, my thumbs quickly hit the letters.


    Bailey: I know you''re pretty angry with me right now but I didn''t mean those words Kaleb.


    I sent it and waited. My eyes glued to the screen.


    Seen.


    Did he just seen me again without a response?


    I sat up and red at the screen. The worst feeling is having someone purposely ignore you.


    Bailey: You know I had toe up with something! Mira took me off guard and I just blurted out


    whatever to make her get off our backs.


    I sent, waited only to now re at ''seen'' again.


    I stood up and scowled. We were not even in a proper rtionship yet and he was already giving


    me grey hairs.


    How frustrating.


    My thumbs furiously tap on the screen while I begun to pace the floor.


    Bailey: I know your feelings are hurt right now but the least you can do is text me back!


    I stopped, huffing as I press a hand to my hip and tapped my foot while glowering at the screen.


    A minute goes by without him reading the message but when he does this time, he''s typing....


    My hearts flutters and tingles of some sort rage havoc on my body. I rolled my lips between my


    teeth and waited with anticipation.


    I am such a wreck of nerves, I flung my phone on the bed and turn around until I heard the soft ping


    sounding from my phone.


    I whipped around and quickly snatch the phone, only to furrow my brows at his text.


    Kaleb: I''ming to pick you up in about three hours.


    " What?" I whispered.


    Bailey: What are you talking about? Where are we going in three hours?


    I waited impatiently for him to text back and he surprised me when he did in a few seconds.


    Kaleb: On our first date.


    As my heart thrust against my chest rapidly he sent me another text that had my fingers shaking.


    " I''m going to show you how I will be the only guy on earth you''d ever want to be with."
