Xavier: I'm almost there. Less than a minute.

Caleb: okay.

Caleb: think I left the door open

Text Xavier - Caleb

Xavier: I'm coming now, babe.

Caleb: please hurry

Caleb: I can't take the blood

[stark-caleb]

"I could, but  I can’t. I left my hoodie in my room. Coffee is a good idea though!"

[trisdupont-blog]

"Oh! You could definitely have coffee — the Bean is only just around the corner? Why are you so cold?"

[stark-caleb]

I am very much aware of that. I suppose I just hadn't really thought of that option. Well, it's freezing? And a simple t-shirt doesn't do much to go against it.

[stark-caleb]

"Are you sure? Wouldn’t want you to get sick in finals weeks!"

[holdclarke-blog]

"Yeah, I think I’ll survive for a couple more days. Next week I’ll just lie about and make my dad bring me tea and soup up until Christmas. How are finals going for you, though?"

[stark-caleb]

It's sweet that your dad does that for you. Me? Oh, I'm alright. Think I'll have a few low grades as I hadn't completely caught up with everything yet.

[stark-caleb]

But there’s still rules you need to abide by..

[maffewz]

Nah, mate. Rules are there to be broken. 

[stark-caleb]

I'm pretty sure they're not. And they're there so people won't misbehave.

[stark-caleb]

I feel like a popsicle!

[natey--boy]

I’m sorry. That kind of sucks. If it helps, I think you’re a cute popsicle.

[stark-caleb]

Heh, thanks Nate. I'm not sure how it helps but I'll remember t!

Text: Nate and Caleb

Nathan: Mhm.

Nathan: Okay.

Caleb: I'm outside.

[stark-caleb]

It’s.. It’s nothing. There’s just been like a rule?

[clara-windsor-deactivated201510]

Oh, alright then. Is everything alright?

[stark-caleb]

Mhm yeah of course why wouldn't things be alright, Clara?

[stark-caleb]

Good answer. So.. Uhm…

[maccayla-thompson-blog-blog]

So, you’re cold. Why are you cold?

[stark-caleb]

I haven't got a coat on..

Text Xavier - Caleb

Xavier: ... Are you still in your room?

Xavier: Do you need anything?

Xavier: Can I come over?

Caleb: please?

Caleb: I need you

[stark-caleb]

That’s okay.. I sort of can’t? I mean I like to wear short sleeves. Yeah..

[clara-windsor-deactivated201510]

You can’t? What do you mean? And so do I, but not usually in December.

[stark-caleb]

It's.. It's nothing. There's just been like a rule?

[stark-caleb]

Best friend, but I agree. As long as you know that if you hurt Nessa I will not hesitate to break both your arms.

[maccayla-thompson-blog-blog]

It would never be my intention to hurt her, but trust me if I do I wouldn’t blame you for breaking my arms.

[stark-caleb]

Good answer. So.. Uhm...

[stark-caleb]

Ehrm, yes, but… I forgot about all of those?

[maccayla-thompson-blog-blog]

Listen, I know we had a mishap before, but you’re Nessa’s friend, I’m her boyfriend. Shouldn’t we at least attempt to get along?

[stark-caleb]

Best friend, but I agree. As long as you know that if you hurt Nessa I will not hesitate to break both your arms.

Caleb: I... I did it again..

[natey--boy]

Tested: Caleb and Nathan

[natey--boy]

"Okay…" Nathan nodded, trying to look tough and brave, but mostly he just felt scared. He didn’t want to be touched, or poked, or prodded, and he had a feeling that the doctor would do all of those things, regardless of Nathan’s wishes. He took Caleb’s hand the second the other boy was ready to go, and let him lead him out of the building and to the car their driver had parked out front. He slipped in the back, squirming uncomfortably. "So… so do we have to say it was… it was rape? Or can that part be secret?" he asked, unsure. 

[stark-caleb]

Sliding in beside Nathan he pointed his body towards him, trying to show with his body that he was there for the boy to protect him, guard him, anything his best friend needed. "I think... I reckon we can just say we want to be safe? I'm not entire sure how it works. Don't stress too much about it, Natey," he spoke softly, the tone in his voice even to stay strong for him, as he squeezed his hand softly. "We'll be as vague as possible. You, we, don't need to answer any question we don't want to. That I am sure of."

Text: Nate and Caleb

Nathan: I had my date with Matt, and we went to his, and it didn't go well. Can you just please come?

Nathan: Mhm.

Caleb: Did you do something you didn't want to do?

Caleb: Almost there. Like. Just around the corner.

[maccayla-thompson-blog-blog]

I think there are plenty of resources available to make you not cold.

[stark-caleb]

Ehrm, yes, but... I forgot about all of those?
