《Never in a Million Years ✔️》3-I know you aren't

"Bailey-Belle if you aren't down here in twenty minutes we aren't getting coffee" Arrex yells up at me
Today was my first day back at school and I couldn't be more excited. The first day back to school had always been exciting for me.
"I'm coming shut up!" I yell back at him. They were lucky I didn't take as long as Em. That's partially because of my own personal laziness. I would have to wake up forty-five minutes earlier than usual if I did a full face.
I run downstairs after fifteen minutes of struggling to get ready and quickly throw my converse on
"Wow fifteen minutes" Ace grins as he held his hand out to Arrex who just huffs in return and slaps a five dollar bill in his hand
"You two bet on me" I stare at them with my mouth wide open
"Four actually" Beck grins says as he and Colton hand Ace two more five dollar bills.
"I said it would take you fifteen, Arrex said thirty and Colton said thirty five And Beck said twenty" Ace says stuffing the bills into his back pocket
"Wow you have no faith in me" I say smacking the other three of them on the back of the head
"Okay let's go guys" Ace says throwing our backpacks at us
----
"Little Ski!" Tyler yells and practically tackles me in his bear hug.
"Ty you're killing her," Wes laughs
"Yeah so keep doing it" Caleb grins
I just smile and flip him off "bitch please you'd miss me"
"Thats debatable" He says with a smirk
I just scoff in response
"Little Ski what do you have first period?" Tyler asks
"AP Chem why?" I glance back up from my schedule
"Yay! You have it with Caleb and I, you will love our teacher, she doesn't like Caleb" she laughs as Caleb sticks his tongue out at her "Her and Mrs. Ria are the two best teachers in school"
"Finally someone I can get along with!" I grin making Caleb snort
"You love me princess" he states simply
"That's debatable" I say mocking his previous statement
"Okay do you have to go to your locker?" Em questions as the guys start to throw around a football
"Nope we can hang out here for a little while" I say smiling at the guys
"Oh by the way everyones talking about you" Em grins. I just look at her with a questioning glance.
"Me? Why?" I mean not very many people here knew me before I left anyways, our town may be small but our school was huge. Because my town and the surrounding ones were all pretty small, there was one highschool, combining our town with the five surrounding towns. There were a lot of kids here and although my brothers and friends were pretty well known, I'd always managed to fly under the radar.
"Cause you just got back" she shrugs with a smirk
"And you're ho-" Wes starts to say before the football is whipped at his chest
"OW! What the fu-" Wes starts to tell at Caleb before he shuts him down with a pointed look.
Em just rolls her eyes and I look at her confused
"They're just being stupid, come in the bell is going to ring soon" she says taking my hand and pulling me away.
"Okay so we have first through fifth period together" she smiles.
"Yay! How are our teachers?" I ask he as we walk the crowded halls. To say I was nervous was an understatement, it was like I was the new girl all over again.

"They're good, oh and you have a lot of classes with Caleb"
"Great" I say sarcastically
"But you also have some with Jordan, Beck and Arrex too though"
"Oh okay then thats fine"
"So how was yesterday?" She asked
After the party on Saturday, my brothers, Caleb and I just relaxed around the house, I slept for most of the day.
"It was fine, Caleb and my brothers just played video games all day and I unpacked my things and slept"
"Oh is your room all back to normal?" She grins at me
"Yep, I put the pictures I took to Chicago back up on my wall, I got all of my clothes washed and put away and I cleaned my balcony off"
"God you have the best room, I wish I had a balcony" she grins
"Yeah I traded Ryan the big room for the balcony" I laugh
When I was younger I loved the balcony room even though it was the smallest. I loved it so much I gave up my room, the second biggest in the house, to have it.
"I loved sneaking up there at night"
"Yeah all of you did" I roll my eyes at her. Another reason I loved it- I could sneak out and sneak people in whenever.
At some point everyone one of my friends had snuck in my room, or just up to the balcony. It was an easy way of getting into my house without waking my parents. The most frequently was suprisingly enough, Caleb. We accidentally found out things that no one was supposed to know about eachother one night and since then, we were able to talk to eachother about them. No matter how much we hated eachother, we were there when things got bad.
"Okay ladies why don't we get to class" Caleb says looping his arm around both mine and Ems shoulders before semi-urgently pulling us along.
"Since when have you actually gone to class on time?" Em snorts looking up at him.
"Since Lexi's been trying to find me, please hide me!" He begs while bouncing nervously
"Ha nope, you got yourself into this, you can get yourself out" I grin as I hear taps from heels coming around the corner, assuming it was this Lexi chick.
His face looks back and forth from Em and I, his eyes lingering on Em a little longer and I see her slightly nod. Oh no, they were doing the silent talking thingy.
"Please princess!" He begs
"Nope this is your problem not mine" I grin and start internally laughing
As the loud clicking of heels got closer he looked down at me, I didn't dare to break the stare, he was silently pleading for my help.
"Caleb!" I hear the girlish voice
"Belle please don't get mad" he says seriously, glancing behind me before meeting my eyes again
"What wh-" I start to say before I'm cut off by his lips crashing into mine
I am stunned at first but kiss him back slightly before pushing him back just as Lexi storms away. I knew why he did it, it just would've been nice to have some warning before.
"What the fuck asshole?!" I yell at him
"You said to figure it out" he shrugs with a smirk "and I did" he says, points his to his lips.
"God you're an ass" I roll my eyes before walking away "At least fuckin warn me"
Em catches up with me while a silently laughing, Caleb is trailing behind us
"To be fair he did say to not be mad" Em reasons

"Doesn't change the fact that he's a dick. Now she's going to be a bitch to me and I hate bringing bitchy Belle out" I huff, I didn't care that he kissed me, I cared about the fact that whoever that girl is, is going to be a bitch to me. It's my first day back, I don't need to be making any enemies just yet.
"I thought she was always out" Caleb snorts from behind me, I stop quickly to land an elbow jab into his stomach before walking away
"Okay I deserved that" He grunts clutching his stomach as he once again follows after us. I think even he forgets how short I am sometimes, I'm right at that height where I can easily land any hit to his abdomen effortlessly.
"You know Arrex and Beck are gonna kill you" I tell him. Sure, he was their best friend but I was sadly, their younger sister. The two main rules with them was no hooking up with assholes and no getting with their best friends.
"No they're not, they're my best friends, plus they know I was trying to get away from Lexi so they'll be fine" Caleb scoffs "not like I haven't kissed you before" he adds quietly to the point I can barely hear it. I just roll my eyes at the last comment before glancing behind me.
"Are they really?" I questions
"Yeah I might've made a mistake"
"I think you made a few" I start to laugh
"Whatever, let's go to class you two" he rolls his eyes at us while we continue laughing at him all the way to first period
------
"Thank fucking god" Beck and I grumble as Em, Caleb, Arrex,Beck and I enter the
cafeteria
We both look at eachother and give eachother high fives.
"The twintuition is coming back!" Caleb yells looking at us with wide eyes.
When we were really little Beck and I were literally connected in every sense. It was like this weird twin thing. We could communicate with just our facial expression and as weird as it sounds, we felt eachothers feelings. Like when he was pissed off or angry, I automatically could feel myself getting pissed. Or when I was anxious or sad, he'd also start to get anxious or sad out of nowhere. It was honestly creepy sometimes. Whatever one twin felt, so did the other. We also talked at the same time. Caleb has been calling it the twintuition forever.
"Is all you two care about food?" Arrex questions
"Dude have you met them? If course it is" Caleb snorts
They were both just quiet for a minute before Arrex pipes up.
"Oh yeah, now that I have a chance to talk to you" Arrex lands a hard punch on Calebs arm "I know it was purely to get away from Lexi but you kiss her again and I'll kick your ass"
"I'll help him" Beck calls behind him
"Understood" Caleb rolls his eyes at my brothers with a lazy grin
"Shut up you two" I order both of my brothers before walking over to the travel thays occupied by the rest of the guys. I swear, I'd never get married if it were up to these two.
"Hey guys!" Wes grins
"Hey boys" I smile at them before setting my stuff down "I'll be back in a sec"
After grabbing my food and making my way back to the table I sit down and start to devour my pizza
After a while more and more football guys started coming over
"Are you serious? It's obvious that Newton is the better QB" One of the guys, Jamie, from the team argues with Caleb
"Better than who?" I questions, honestly interested, I love football
"No one you'd know we're talking football princess" Jamie says arrogantly making my face immediately turn to a scowl, I glance at Caleb who is sending daggers at Jamie
"Try me, no need to be an asshole about it bud" I resist the urge to roll my eyes at his arrogance as I smirk over at him.
"Where did you even come from? And why are you sitting with us?" He interrogates. I knew a lot of the guys on the team but he must be new, cause I've never met him before and he sure as hell didn't know me.
"Doesn't matter," I shrug innocently "Now are you gonna tell me about this little football debate or..."
"Fine, You say you know everything? who had a better season, Newton or Mahomes?" He told his eyes as he asks the question
"Obviously Mahomes" I scoff
"Clearly you know nothing" he was matter of factly, Caleb just smirks at me as I begin to speak making me internally smile. He knew exactly what I was going to say.
"Excuse the fuck out of me asshole, but I'd check yourself before you start something you can't finish . Newton hasn't had a good season since 2015 when he choked in the Superbowl, not only that but Mahomes is a fuckin rookie and had a better record than a player whose been in the league for what? Six years? Not only did Mahomes have a better season than Newton but he also had a better season than a majority of the Qb's in the league. Mahomes had a total QBR of 85, what was Newtons? Not only did Mahomes have one of the highest QBR'S of the season, out of the 44 passes he's thrown in under 2 seconds, 42 of them were complete, he also threw about 715 yards in total regular season, it's one of the highest out of every QB in the league this season besides maybe Brady and Rogers, was Newtons? Next time you want to argue, know who you're talking to. Now that I've proven my point you can't take your 'Cam Newton is the best ' headass opinion, wad it up into a tiny ball and shove it up your dick." I say sweetly and calmly whileall of the football players look at me with wide eyes, well besides my friends, who just smirk at me.
"Yeah dude should've probably told you, guys, meet Bailey-Belle. You know, the Skilanski's sister we were telling you about?" Caleb tells him with a grin and Jamies wide eyes snap to mine. "By the way don't call her Bailey"
"Oh I'm sorry, did I forget to mention that?" I say innocently as my lips form a devious grin
"Wow" Jamie just stares at me "That was hot"
"Sorry not interested," I laugh
"See that is what I missed" Caleb grins holding his hand out, I smack it with a grin "seeing you put people in their place is one of the best things I'll ever watch" he says making everyone laugh
"Yeah you actually think it's funny when it isn't you" I grin
"Well obviously, getting put in your place by your best friends little sister isn't the ideal situation, but I learned my lesson a long time ago. I still have the fucking scar" We both laugh at his comment, thinking about the last time I put him in his place. It was like fourth grade and we were arguing about baseball. He said I couldnt play because I was a girl, I then proceeded to hit his fastest fastball at the time, straight back at him, giving him the biggest bruise of his life on his shoulder and a scar in the pattern of baseball laces.
The bell soon rang and all of us split off to make our way to our next classes. My first day back was almost over and it didnt go nearly as bad as I thought it would.
"So princess it's just me and you for Honors anatomy"
" I honestly forget how smart you are sometimes" I laugh at him. You honestly would never guess this kids a genius, you'd take one look at him and instantly write him off as a stereotypical jock.
"Im going to take that as a compliment" he chuckles "you said I was smart"
"Only cause I know I'm smarter" I state cockily
"Not gonna argue with that, you're technically supposed to be a junior"
"Yep!" I grin as he hold the door to our class open and we both walk in
I sit in a table near the back and a guy quickly slides in beside me
"Bye Dorian" Caleb growls behind me
"Hi I'm Dorian" he smirks at me
His grey-blue eyes kept darting to Caleb but eventually stayed on me when I spoke back
"Dorian, I know you, it's me Belle" I grin at him. He and I were somewhat friends before I left
"It's really is you!" He grins
"Yep she's back, bye" Caleb goes to push him out of the seat but I grab his hand and stop him
"No it's fine Belle, I was just leaving" Dorian says rolling his eyes at Caleb
"Oh okay, I'll talk to you later" I smile at him
"No you won't " I hear Caleb mumble
"You didnt have to be rude" I glare at him
"Yea I did, Dorian's a manwhore" he rolls his eyes
"So are you"
"Yea but I don't hide it" we start to bicker back and forth. I was seriously suprised at how really nothing's changed between us.
"Caleb he was just being nice, relax, we were friends before I left" I roll my eyes at him. He was always annoyingly protective
"Yea and he liked you then too" he scoffs
"No he doesn't"
"Yeah he does"
"You aren't going to give up on this are you?"
"Princess the only one more stubborn than you is me and possibly Beck, so no" he smirks as two girls walk by sending them a quick signature douche bag wink, sending them giggling
"Why do you always do that?"
"Do what?" He asks looking over at me
"Smirk and wink and that shit, it's annoying"
"Why?" He snorts as he leans back in his seat
"Cause you look like a douche" I shrug
"Well maybe I am" he says bluntly his face hardening as he says this.
"But I know you aren't" I shrug before I start taking notes for the rest of class.
