Chapter 9
Callie’s P.O.V
|Sunday Night|
Bianca stayed the night at my house last night and we just finished watching serendipity and we were now starting The Hangover. We have been having a lazy movie marathon all day because we went to a crazy party with her brother last night. It was now six o’clock and we are still in our pj’s.
“Have you already seen this movie?” Bianca asked.
“Yeah, have you?”
“Yeah, twice you want to go do something else?”
“Well, what are you suggesting?”
“I don’t know. How about we go riding around, see who all is in town.”
“Ok if you want you can grab your stuff and I can drop you off when we are done.”
“Sure thing”
Bianca got up and started looking around the room for her stuff and gathered it all together and threw it in her duffle bag. We walked downstairs said bye to my parents and headed out the door. We went riding around and got into the middle of town and saw everyone at the park and Bianca said that it is the usual hang out for our students and even from a few other schools.
We walk over to the swings and I see most the softball girls. I say hey and stand around before Bianca sits in a swing and offers me her lap since the rest were taken. I sit down and talk to people for a while. I met some new kids from a school in the next town. There were three guys and two girls. Two of the guys come to talk to Bianca and me. I couldn’t help but to flirt, I mean he wasn’t ugly. The guy asks for my number and I trade numbers with him. I don’t plan on using it except for as a friend. I’m still sitting on Bianca’s lap when I feel my phone vibrate in my back pocket causing Bianca to jump and give a huge wide eyed look. I laugh at her before apologizing and looking at my phone.

I hit view now and read the text.
‘I see you ;) ‘
‘What? Who is this? -Cal’
‘What, are you worried?’
‘No, but if u don’t tell me who this is u will have a reason to be. - Cal’
‘Calm down lol its AZ’
‘O lol Where are you? - Cal ’
‘Walk toward the slide’
I get up, apologize for leaving, and tell them I will be right back. Bianca gives me a look and I give her one back to let her know not to worry I was fine. I start walking toward the slide and under it I see Arizona leaning against the pole.
“Model pose much?” I ask jokingly.
“Oh yeah, of course.” She jokes back. “By the way, just out of curiosity, were you threatening the captain of your team in that text?”
“Well, you kind of deserved it. You can’t just text a girl and they not know who you are. Besides you didn’t stick around last night for me to get your number. I guess you were too busy muttering something about Joanne.” I snap back at her teasingly.
“Yeah, well, somethings just need to be straightened out.”
“So, what are you doing up under here all alone?”
“Well I wasn’t alone at first and then my . . . friend left . . . and I spotted you talking to your guy.”
“Ok your right things do need to be straightened out. First off I don’t have a guy, I’m single, and is this where you bring all your girlfriends?”
“Well, sometimes, but that would make you out of place. So, I guess now I bring my friends here too and again for the record. I’m single.” She winked at me.
There was an awkward pause at her last statement . . .
“Well, since I’m out of place, why don’t you come and join all of us at the swings?” I offer.
“Sure, let’s go.” She says linking her arm with mine to turn me around and then letting go when I follow her. Ugh. Why did she have to let go? Friends link arms.
We go back to the swing and I take up my previous residence on Bianca’s lap and Arizona stands next to us. We continue to chat with everyone for the next couple of hours when I get another text from my dad telling me to come home. I tell Bianca I have to go and she gets ready to leave. We give out hugs to the softball girls and shake hands with the guys. Arizona was the last person in line and Bianca gave her a hug and I follow suit. She wraps her arms around my waist and I wrap my arms around her shoulders, not the same one arm up one arm down friend hug. I try to shrug it off when I let go, but it felt so right to hug her. It’s because we are on our way to becoming great friends, right? Next thing I know Anthony, the guy that I traded numbers with, is offering to walk me to my car. I oblige and let him walk me. We get to the car and he opens my door for me and then gives me a hug whispering in my ear for me to call him. I look past him at Arizona and see her staring at us. I quickly pull myself out of the hug, I don’t know why but I felt like I was disrespecting her for some reason. What the hell is going on with me?
