"Caleb?! Is that you?!" I sputtered. The gorgeous brunette/blonde smiled at me.  I stared in disbelief.

"What the hell happened to you?!" I was lost for words. Caleb just grinned.

About 2 years ago, he was just a tall, gawky, skinny awkward teen with acne on his face. He was always around until about 1 and a half year ago. That was when he started travelling for swim meets. He was a good swimmer and had won many swimming competitions. He was either on the road, or at school. I didn't get to see him much. But damn, that is some growth spurt....

Caleb had filled out. A lot. Like he was buffed and toned from all the swimming and his hair was light and almost blonde. His eyes were piercing green hazel orbs. His face was gorgeous and he was chisseled as fuck. Like defined jaw line and shit like that.

"Hey, Charlie! How're you?" Caleb said as he hugged me tightly. And he even smelled different. Axe, soap and something else. I hugged him back through my bewilderment.  When we broke apart, I peered at him as he looked at me weirdly. 

"Whoah, Caleb. You have grown up. Like seriously. I'm sure girls are already swimming upriver trying to get you in their pants." I said bluntly and guffawed. Caleb just chuckled. He felt familiar, yet strange. I dunno what. I couldn't put my finger on it. Caleb slung his arm around my shoulders and give it a squeeze.

"Well, I do have my eye on one." He looked at me and wiggled his eyebrows mysteriously. I raised my eyebrows and smiled.

"Nice...Good luck. I'm sure you don't need it since you've grown up to be really hot, Caleb." I joked but it felt weird that I wanted to take it back.

"Well, I hope you're right. I think I need a lot of luck with this one." Caleb said with a mysterious smile.

"Oooh, a spunky one. I like her already!" I said and three of us sat in comfortable company and talked. It was nice to see my old friends after almost a year being apart. 

"So, I heard you won a sports scholarship. Way to go! So, where are you going to go?" I asked casually.

"University of Washington." Caleb said and smiled as he looked at me and munched on a danish.

I stared at him. No. Fucking. Way...
