UNSPOKEN BOND CHAPTER FIFTY
CHAPTER 50*** MONDAY MORNING ***Caleb's weekend passed swiftly. The possibility of meeting Mrs. Wilkins hung heavily on his mind, like a persistent itch he couldn't scratch.He had attempted to remain calm, dismissing the incident in the library as insignificant. But deep down, he knew he'd crossed a line, and this time, there might be consequences.As Monday morning arrived, Caleb found himself lingering outside Mrs. Wilkins' office, his fingers beating an uneven pattern against his thighs. He could hear students' muted voices coming through the closed door, and his stomach tightened into an uneasy knot.Taking a deep breath, he drummed his knuckles against the wood, bracing himself for the upcoming showdown."Come in," Mrs. Wilkins said in a clipped and authoritative tone.Caleb pushed open the door and stepped inside, his gaze drawn to the stern-faced woman sitting behind her desk. Her lips pursed into a thin line, and her eyes narrowed as she looked at him, disappointed and frus

CHAPTER 51Caleb ran into Coach Harris as soon as he stepped out of Mrs Wilkins' office."Caleb! "There you are!"The familiar voice shook Caleb out of his reverie, and he turned to see Coach Harris approaching him, a clipboard tucked under his arm and a severe scowl engraved on his weathered features."Coach," Caleb said, his sneer fading as he took in the man's no-nonsense demeanor. "What's up?"Coach Harris drew to a standstill before him, his gaze tightening as he looked at his star player. "I heard you were called into Mrs Wilkins' office. Is everything okay?Caleb shrugged, his arrogance reinforcing itself like a well-worn mask. "It's nothing, coach. Just some nonsense about my being too 'rowdy' or something."Coach Harris furrowed his brow and let out a gruff groan. "Caleb, don't give me that attitude. "You know I don't put up with that crap."Caleb clenched his jaw and gave a curt nod. "Yes, sir."Coach Harris looked at him for a long time, his eyes probing Caleb's face for an

CHAPTER 52Caleb walked into the classroom, shoulders squared and jaw set in a furious stance. The weight of his fight with Mrs. Wilkins lingered like a dark fog, but he refused to let it weaken his determination.As he scanned the room, he noticed Miranda, his girlfriend, lounging in her normal seat at the rear of the classroom. Her neatly manicured nails beat an eager rhythm against the desk as she flipped through her phone, oblivious to his arrival.Caleb approached her purposefully, his expression unreadable. Miranda looked up as he slid into the seat beside her, her painted lips twisting into a flirty smile that fell short of her eyes."Well, look who finally decided to show up," she said, her voice tinged with amusement and veiled disdain.Caleb stiffened his jaw and regarded her with a fierce glare. "Lay off, Miranda. I had a hell of a morning.Miranda arched a flawlessly sculpted brow, her eyes gleaming with predatory intent. "Oh? "Do tell."Caleb let out a frustrated groan, h

CHAPTER 53*** NEXT DAY AT THE THERAPIST OFFICE ***Caleb entered the therapist's office with a deliberately constructed attitude of indifference and squared shoulders. The room was small and ill-furnished, and there was a strong smell of desperation and old books. Caleb allowed his eyes to roam, taking in the disorganized piles of files on the shelves and the faded inspirational posters as he sank into the worn recliner opposite the therapist's desk. It was a pitiful little room, a reflection of the school's clumsy attempts to deal with the issues that sullied inside its walls.Dr. Lyra, the therapist, gave him a polished smile that stopped short of her eyes. With wispy grey hair and a permanent frown carved on her brow, she was a mousy woman in her late fifties who had long since given up on truly improving the lives of problematic teenagers like him.She said, "Welcome, Caleb," with a false smile that made him uncomfortable. "I'm glad you could make it to our first session."With

CHAPTER 54Dylan walked into the cafeteria, with a backpack slung over one shoulder and a weary frown on his face. As his eyes scanned the familiar sea of tables, he noticed Mia and Lila huddled together in their regular corner, their heads bent over a shared notebook.Dylan sighed softly as he approached them, his steps heavy with the weight of the news he needed to impart. He knew it wouldn't be an easy topic, given the continuous animosity in their group and Caleb's relentless teasing of Lila.As he approached the table, Mia looked up, her warm grin wavering slightly as she took in his solemn demeanor. "Hey, Dylan," she said, her brow furrowing in anxiety. "Everything okay?"Dylan gave her a tight-lipped smile before sliding onto the seat across from them and dropping his rucksack on the floor with a dull thud. "Hey, guys," he muttered, his gaze shifting to Lila, who tilted her head in curiosity.Dylan reached into his pocket and removed a crumpled scrap of paper, laying it out aga

CHAPTER 55Caleb walked down the corridor with his shoulders set and a cold disdain on his face. He felt impelled to duck inside the familiar "Men's Restroom" sign as he approached the corner, if only for a brief respite from the never-ending chaos of the school day.As soon as he pulled open the door, he was struck by the stench of cheap air freshener combined with stale urine, which made him nauseous. He braced himself and moved over to the sinks, his footfall echoing on the tile floor with each step.He then noticed Yuria relaxing against the row of sinks, her cheeks bursting with a wad of bubblegum. Her tight shirt was undone just enough to offer a tantalizing glimpse of the lacy black bra that hugged her contours, and her skirt was a little too high.Caleb's heartbeat quickened as he saw her, and a familiar heat stirred in his lower abdomen. Yuria could attract a priest and leave him pleading for more, causing her significant difficulties. Nonetheless, there was something attract

CHAPTER 56*** AT THE NIGHT CLUB **The night air was thick and humid, clinging to Caleb's skin as he walked along the dimly illuminated alleyway. The constant beat of bass pumped through the walls, calling him to the entrance of Haze, the underground club that had become a second home for him and his crew. As he neared the unassuming door, he noticed Yuria resting against the graffiti-covered brick, her lips curled into a cheeky smile that sent a lovely chill down his spine. She appeared like a temptress, with her tight leather skirt and crop top leaving nothing to the imagination."Well, look who finally decided to show up," she purred, her voice seductive and cutting through the pounding music. Caleb felt his lips tilt into a lazy smirk as he sauntered towards her, his motions exuding practiced confidence. "You know me, Yuria - I like to make an entrance."Yuria's eyes sparkled with wicked enjoyment as she pushed herself off the wall, closing the gap between them until they were

CHAPTER 57Caleb's eyes were heavy, and the weight of tiredness pressed down on him like a physical force as he stumbled through the school's front doors. The fluorescent lights were unusually intense, piercing his skull with a constant throbbing that made it difficult to concentrate.He hadn't slept a wink since his wild night at Haze with Yuria, his body still reverberating with the echoes of their illicit encounter. Every nerve ending felt burnt and frazzled from the wonderful intensity of their desire and the intoxicating surge of rebellion that had possessed him.As he made his way down the busy hallway, he noticed Miranda leaning against his locker, her arms crossed over her chest and an amused smirk playing on her nicely painted lips."Look who finally decided to grace us with his presence," she purred, her voice tinged with both humor and love.Caleb felt a familiar warmth rise in his chest at the sight of her, a reminder of the unbreakable tie they shared - forged in the fire

The library had settled into its usual afternoon lull, the air thick with the musty scent of aging paper and the soft rustle of turning pages. Lila sat hunched over her laptop, fingers flying across the keyboard as she transcribed her latest research notes. So engrossed was she in her work that she failed to notice the looming presence approaching her table until a shadow fell across her screen.Glancing up with a start, Lila found herself face to face with Caleb's towering bulk. Her muscles tensed instinctively, body coiling as if readying for fight or flight. The last encounter with this lumbering bully still burned fresh in her memory - his sneering disdain, the casual cruelty as he'd snatched away her notebook filled with painstaking calculations and schematics.But something was... off. Instead of the usual sneer twisting his features, Caleb's expression seemed almost sheepish. He shifted his weight from foot to foot, hands shoved deep in the pockets of his varsity jacket as he r
UNSPOKEN BOND 75
The echoing silence stretched unbearably as Caleb's hulking form loomed over Lila. She remained frozen, muscles coiled tightly, awaiting the inevitable belittling remark or physical intimidation tactic from the lumbering brute.Instead of lashing out verbally, Caleb simply stared her down, pale eyes drilling into her with an intense, unblinking glare. The seconds ticked by agonizingly until Lila had to fight the urge to squirm under his domineering scrutiny. Finally, he broke the oppressive silence by jutting his thick neck forward, the cords of muscle straining beneath his skin as he fixed her with a callous sneer."Give it here," he growled, the gravelly timbre of his voice reverberating through the stillness.Lila's brow furrowed slightly as she met his imperious glare, refusing to be cowed so easily despite her growing trepidation. She tilted her head in an exaggerated questioning expression.Caleb responded by leaning down until his meaty face filled her field of vision, hot bur

The library had settled into an industrious hush, the only sounds the occasional creak of chair legs against tile or the muffled clacking of Lila's fingers flying across her laptop's keyboard. Dylan pored over a sheaf of printouts, lips pursing in concentration as he made notations in the margins with a stubby pencil.Mia broke the silence with a jaw-cracking yawn, slumping back in her chair as she stretched her arms overhead. "Well, I don't know about you two, but my brain feels like an overstuffed piñata about to burst after cramming in all those thermospheric equilibrium models."Lila shot her a sidelong glance, the ghost of a smirk playing about her lips as her hands articulated a response. Dylan watched the deft weaving of her fingers with a hint of envy, wishing he could fully grasp the nuanced expressiveness of that rich, silent language.Mia snorted, translating Lila's gestures with a rakish grin. "She says no one ever claimed saving the world would be easy, especially when th

CHAPTER 73Mia studied a stack of printouts and sketchy diagrams, her brow wrinkled with concentration. Lila's fingers flew across the screen of her laptop with fluid ease, signing a complicated stream of gestures interspersed by brief bursts of typing. Dylan watched the spectacle with a genuine sense of pleasure and satisfaction. Just a short time ago, this ragged company was on the verge of implosion, split between petty power battles and pointless outbursts of ideological grandstanding. However, once their focus moved to actual, concrete goals in pursuit of the Scholsemann Sustainability Scholarship, a perceptible rebirth of synergy emerged.Dylan felt the same explosive spark that had first attracted them together rekindle as he assessed his co-conspirators' single-minded focus on the mission at hand. He cleared his throat, the gravelly rasp cutting through the charged silence like a tuning fork vibration. "Alright, people - I think it's time we regroup and see what kind of big-

CHAPTER 72***NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL ***The library's hushed ambiance felt like a taut wire, barely containing the simmering tensions that crackled between them. Lila swept her gaze across the secluded study nook, taking stock of her unlikely crew bound together by shared trauma and a singular purpose.Mia radiated tightly-coiled fury, her lithe frame tensed like a spring awaiting release. Though defiant fire still burned in those dark eyes, the mottled bruises marring her skin served as a visceral reminder of the price they'd paid for resistance. Beside her, Dylan settled into his chair with measured movements, as if afraid any sudden gestures might rekindle the powderkeg hostilities. His jaw was clenched, eyes tracking the others with a wariness born of recent betrayals.The heavy tread of boots against tile announced Caleb's arrival. The towering jock swaggered in exuding nonchalant arrogance, but the corded muscles bunching along his thick neck betrayed the menacing undercurrent sim
UNSPOKEN BOND CHAPTER 71
CHAPTER 71The front door let out a deep, familiar groan of protest as Lila shouldered it open and stepped across the threshold into the Hawthorne home. The entrance stretched out in front of her, tiny but neat, a true reflection of her father's practical principles and workmanlike pride.She scuffed her trainers against the bristly welcome mat, releasing the grit and debris that had gathered throughout the day on their rubber soles. The regular shucking noises resonated hollowly along the front hall, as Lila went about her daily practice of making herself at home.Her backpack thudded on the floor with a muffled whump, spreading its contents in a tangled sprawl of notebooks, textbooks and stray pens. She'd worry about resolving that issue later; for now, the enticing draw of escape into the digital ether called with its siren song of consequence-free distraction.Lila retrieved her smartphone from the chaos, flicking her thumb across the lockscreen in a single practiced flick. The sc

CHAPTER 70The bell, which thankfully signaled the conclusion of another academic assignment, rang out in a strong dismissal tone that cut through the noise of the packed corridor. Students rush out of classrooms, eager to get away from academic duties for a few hours.Lila stayed there for a few lingering seconds, watching the storm swell and fall before getting up. She gathered her belongings with deliberate, precise care, her actions honed over years of discreetly traversing a world practically devoid of noise disruptions.As she lifted her bag and turned towards the exit, a familiar figure appeared at her side. Mia fell into step, her face a mix of affectionate irritation and lingering uncertainty."You sure you're okay heading out alone?" She asked, narrowing one eye as she examined Lila. "After this morning's...events, I wouldn't blame you for wanting someone to walk with."Lila's hands moved in a flurry of familiar gestures, her agile fingers articulating the response with prac

CHAPTER 69Miranda and Yuria paused in mid-torment, their savage sneers temporarily easing as the sound of an adjacent classroom door smashing open reached their ears."What in the name of blessed reason is going on out here?"The authoritative scream of a male faculty member pierced through the tense atmosphere like a hot knife as Mr. Levinson's towering form approached the corner. The hefty, barrel-chested History teacher stopped short, his already florid cheeks purpling even more as he took in the chaotic sight."Miss Miranda!" "Miss Yuria!" His blustering tones cracked like a whip as he focused on the perpetrators. "Release those young ladies this instant and explain yourselves!"For a brief time, it appeared that Miranda might dig in her heels and refuse the teacher's intervention. Her clean features distorted into an ugly grimace, and her grasp on Lila's hair tightened violently until the mute girl wailed. Then, just as swiftly, the mutinous fury subsided into calm, lazy apathy
UNSPOKEN BOND CHAPTER SIXTY EIGHT
CHAPTER 68The heavy wooden door bashed shut behind Caleb with a resounding finality that echoed along the empty hallway. His footsteps sounded like sledgehammers, propelled by a spinning whirlwind of embarrassment, rage, and disbelief.How dare they? How can those small little insects defy him so shamelessly, removing his legitimate claim to power with their pathetic insurrection? As the images repeated in his mind's eye, he let out a low growl from deep within.Those losers and the freak raised their betraying hands in arrogant, coordinated rejection. Dylan, the overhype little b*tch who had fooled himself into thinking he could steal Caleb's natural leadership. A strong shudder shot through the jock's titanium-hewn frame as he pictured wrapping his hands around that thin throat and squeezing until those mutinous lights went out for good.His fists squeezed till the knuckles turned white, tendons cording against the skin like high-tension cables. The abrupt jarring blast of his ring
