Katie's POV

I tried as hard as I could to stay home from school Monday. I placed a warm heating pack on my head for an hour and pretended to have a fever, which didn't work. I also pretended to have a bad cough, which Mom didn't buy again.

So I had to go to school.

She dropped me off and I walked in miserable. I tried to hide it, though. When I got to my locker I saw Caleb and waved. He looked at me for half a second before walking off.

"Caleb! Wait!" I called after him, but he ignored me.

I decided not to chase him or continue calling his name because it made no difference; he was never going to forgive me.

Then I saw Luke walk by. I waved at him, too, but he just kept walking.

Then I saw Sydney.

"Syd! Hey!" I called as I ran alongside her.

"I was forbidden by Luke and Caleb to talk to you." Sydney said as she walked faster.

"Listen, Syd." I said but she kept walking faster. I sighed and grabbed her arm and pulled her aside, my grip so strong she couldn't move.

"What the heck do you want from me?" She asked, clearly annoyed.

"I just want you to tell Luke and Caleb that I'm sorry. Please. Tell them that I know I made a huge mistake and that it was wrong for me to just dump one guy for the other. Please tell them that I love them both with all my heart, and I'll need time to decide who I love more. Please, that's all I want." I said with tears.

Sydney rolled her eyes. "Why can't you tell them that yourself?"

"Because they won't even talk to me or wave to me, Syd!" I exclaimed.

Sydney sighed. "Fine, I'll try. But why didn't you ask Annie to tell Caleb that?"

"Because she hates me for breaking Caleb's heart."

Sydney nodded, and when the warning bell rang she ran off. I felt bad for keeping her there because her first period is on the other side of campus, but this had to be done.

When I got to class the bell had already rang. Señora Rodriguez cleared her throat when I opened the door. "Señorita Katie, detention after school. My room." She handed me a yellow slip.

I sighed and stuck it in my pocket as I sat behind Caleb. He didn't even look at me when I walked by.

It was so hard not to play with his hair. Then at one point I started twirling it and stroking it. Caleb turned around and snapped in annoyance, "What are you doing? Quit it, I'm not your boyfriend!"

"Señor Caleb, no talking in class unless you have been chosen to! Detention after school here, too." Señora walked over and slammed a yellow slip on his desk.

Caleb turned around and glared at me. "You happy? You got me detention."

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

"One more word out of your mouth you'll have two days of detention, Señorita Katie!" Señora shouted as she stormed back to her whiteboard.

I sighed and placed my chin in my hand. Today was going to be a terrible day.

Caleb's POV

At lunch Katie tried to sit with me. I was just eating peacefully and listening to music on my phone when she sat next to me and Luke, Sydney across from us.

"Mind if I join you?" She asked as she sat down.

"Yes." Luke grumbled.

Katie sighed. "I'm sorry, okay? I know what I did was wrong but—"

"Come on, guys, let's go sit over there." Luke said as he stood up with his tray.

"But that's where the dumpsters are." Sydney whined.

"So? It's better than here." I said as we got up and left. Out of the corner of my eye though, I saw tears stream down Katie's cheek. I know she's sorry, but she really hurt me. I don't know if I can forgive her.

But her beautiful chocolate eyes melt my heart every time I look into them, and her beauty...it's just hard to stay mad at her.

"Ugh, I hope we never see her again." Luke said as we sat at our table.

"Well, she goes to school here too, so that'll be hard." I said as I took a bite out of my burger.

"I think we started World War III when we walked away." Luke said as we all laughed.

"Hey, Caleb," Sydney said. "Wanna go on a date after school?"

"I can't." I said with a mouthful of burger. "I have detention, and it's Monday, my mom won't let me go out unless it's Wednesday through Saturday."

Sydney sighed of disappointment. "Okay. What did my bad boy do?" She said as she traced her finger over my chest.

I laughed. "Katie was touching my hair so I snapped at her and Señora gave me detention. Guess she was having a bad day."

"Oh. Well that wasn't very bad." Sydney said.

I laughed again and hugged her. Then we threw away our trash and headed to class.

When I was on my way to class, a hand grabbed me and pulled me into a storage closet. I tried to scream but the person covered up my mouth.

It was Katie.

"What are you doing?!" I exclaimed.

"I really need to talk to you, but you won't let me." Katie said.

"Yeah, because you cheated on me—"

"I did not cheat on you! We were taking a break and I went on a date with Luke to sort out my feelings! Plus you were with Syd—"

"Have you figured out your feelings yet?" I asked.

Katie hesitated. I can't have her not knowing anymore.

I sighed, grabbed my backpack, and headed to class.

"Caleb, please. Wait! Give me a chance!" Katie yelled as she ran after me.

"You've run out of those. Sorry." I said as I sat down in class.

Katie sighed and sat in her seat as the lesson began.

After school Luke and I walked to baseball practice together, where I saw Katie and Sydney sitting on the bleachers waving at me. This felt like dèjá vu; the last time they were here together was when Katie and I got together.

I waved to Syd and ran up to her in the bleachers and kissed her. I did it in front of Katie on purpose to make her jealous, yet it made me seem like a jerk.

Sydney hugged me and waved as I left the bleachers. Luke and I ran over to the bases and began to practice, me being pitcher and Luke was practicing batting.

He's really good; he hit so many balls I lost count.

After practice in the locker room, Luke asked me, "Who do you like better?"

"Gosh, man, I don't know." I said as I put on a clean shirt. "Your sister is great, and so is Katie—"

"What? No, I meant which one of these Doritos do you like better. I only need one." Luke said as he held up the nacho cheese tortilla chips in one hand, the cool ranch ones in the other.

"Duh, cool ranch, it's the best." I said as he handed it to me.

"What? Come on, everyone knows nacho cheese is better; it's classic." Luke said as he sat next to me and popped open his bag.

We laughed and ate our Doritos together before we left. That's what I like about Luke being my friend; he can turn something serious into a joke real quick.

I just hope all these love triangles don't ruin our wonderful friendship.
