Abby

I was about to go to bed when I received a message from Caleb.

Caleb: hey Abby, so I talked to my manager and he said if you can come in for an interview at 3 tomorrow?

Me: yeah, sounds great. Thank you so much Caleb, I owe you one!

Celeb: I'll take your word for it. ;)

I fell asleep after that, I woke up the next day and got ready for school. The thought of Chase giving me a ride had me all jittery. Just then I received a text.

Chase: I'm outside

Me: be right down

I ran downstairs. I saw his car and open the door and went I side. "Good morning Abigail." He said as he drove away.

"Good morning Edward." He turned to look at me. He hated being called  Edward. That was his middle name.

"Take that back!" He said.

I smirked at him "it's only fair if you call me Abigail". I have no idea where this confidence was coming from.

"Take it back or you're going to pay." He said.

"I don't think so Edward." I said smiling at him.

"Ok you asked for it!" He set his car on autopilot and immediately started tickling me.

"Chase stop" i said laughing. Unfortunately I was very ticklish.

"Say you're sorry!" He said as he continued to tickle me.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I said laughing. He stopped tickling me and put his hands back on the wheel. Stupid Tesla's.

We pulled up to campus and I got out of his car. "I have practice today so I'll text you when I'm out."

"Thanks Chase. You know it's not necessary..." he cut me off.

"We've been over this" he said.

"Ok thanks, I'll see you later. I walked to my morning class with Chase on my mind.

The day went by pretty quick before I knew it, it was 2 pm. I had the interview at 3, so I was reading a book to kill a little bit of time. Just then some came up behind me and yelled boo!

I immediately jumped and screamed. I turned and I saw Chase laughing. "Chase you asshole!"

"Language Abigail. Language!" He said still laughing.

Just then a blonde girl came up to him and kissed him. "Chase baby i missed you! Why haven't you returned any of my calls." She said completely ignoring.

Chase looked at her with an unamused face, "Brittany, I told you I've been busy. Look I'm busy at the moment" she cut him off and looked in my direction.

"Who the hell are you?" She asked with venom in her voice.

I was about to answer but Chase beat me to it, "she's none of your concern, now if you'll excuse me."  Then she kissed him again. I couldn't watch this so I started to walk away.

"Abigail wait!" I heard Chase call out.

"It's ok, i have to be somewhere. Have fun with your friend I said." Then I walked away towards the cafe.

To say I was jealous was an understatement. Why should I be tho. That was Chase for you. Plus I never actually stood a chance, so what was even the point.

I got to the cafe and I asked to speak to the manager. His name was Steve.  He was a very nice middle aged man. He hired me on the spot and asked for my schedule so he could work around it.

I walked back to school and headed to my last class. Just then I got a text from Caleb.

Caleb: I heard you got the job! Congrats!

Me: thanks Caleb. I really needed a job.

Caleb: no problem! We need to go out and celebrate

Me: maybe another day

Caleb: ok I'll take your world for it, by the way, since we are going to be working together now, I could give you a ride if you want

Me: oh thanks Caleb, you really are the best

I just chuckled and put my phone away. Class passed in a blur.

Chase texted me and asked what building I was in, I texted him back and before I knew it class ended and he was waiting for me.

We walked to his car in silence. " hey listen about earlier" I cut him off.

"It's fine, i don't want to hear about your flings." His hand tightened around the wheel.

"No listen.."

" honestly Chase I don't care. I know how you are." He looked mad. Why was he mad?

"You don't know anything Abby." He never called me Abby. Why was he mad?

"Why are you even mad at me? Look I had a good day today and I don't need you to ruin it for me."

"Why what happened?"

"Caleb got me a job!" I said with excitement.

"Did he now?" Was all he said, he looked tense again. Why was that?

"Yeah, he did. So now our schedules won't match, I won't be needing a ride from you anymore."

"I'm still giving you a ride."

"No that's not necessary, Caleb and I have pretty much the same schedule now, so I won't be needing a ride anymore." Chase hit his steering wheel and the car swerved a bit. " what the hell is wrong with you?!" I yelled at him.

Just then we arrived to my apartment complex "get out" was all he said.

"With pleasure." I said and slammed the door. He drove off and I walked up to my building.

What the hell was wrong with him? Was was he so mad?

I was finally able to talk to Ashley. She was going on about how wonderful San Francisco was. I wish she was here with me. I decided not not mention anything to her about Chase. She would end up yelling at him and I didn't want that. After talking for about two hours I took a long shower and fell asleep.
