Chapter
2
“Don’t
listen to her, Cal” she whispered, laying down and resting
her head on his shoulder.
Caleb recognized her voice and responded without opening his eyes.
“I know Ellie… but I haven’t, you know. Kissed a
girl, that is,” he mumbled, blushing furiously.
“So what, Caleb O’Malley, so what?” Ella said
with more oomph than she’d originally intended. Several
people briefly turn around to look at them. She lowered her voice
to add, “We’re only fifteen. One day I promise you, you
will. But really, since when do you care about what
Brittany says?” She briefly glanced at Brittany and
her friends, who (having moved on from Caleb) were now gossiping
about someone else.
“
I don’t,” he said somewhat indignantly,
“just… just, well, there’s this girl I really
like. I know this sounds clichéd, but I just can’t get
her out of my head. And she’s here tonight. She heard what
Brittany said.”
“Well, she’s very lucky, and I’m sure she
wouldn’t think any less of you because of that,” Ella
soothed patiently. “You know, I haven’t had my first
kiss yet either,” she added in a tiny whisper. She just hoped
he’d heard.
“Okay
Ellie,” Caleb concluded contentedly, and then fell back
asleep.
Those were the
words Ella spoke, but as she said them her heart sunk just a
little; she’d had a crush on Caleb as long as she could
remember. She looked around for who this girl could be, but
then, resting her head on Caleb’s chest, turned her
attention back to the world of Atticus Finch, Scout and Jem.
Whoever this girl was, Ella half hoped she was everything her
best friend deserved and half envied her with her whole heart.
