Semua Bab Love Tap: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Sitting at my desk I chew on the end of my pen awaiting for Professor Kelly to finish writing on the whiteboard. This class drags by and it being at noon I'm always hungry half way through.Bored I trace the words stenciled into the top of my desk with my index finger.'Lick it before you stick it.'Where do people even come up with this stuff?"I love how her hand erases half of what she writes as she moves across the board," Keegan whispers next to me, bringing my attention from my tracing to Professor Kelly. Sure enough, the sentence on the left is half wiped off as she continues to write along the board. Keegan is the only person I talk to here at UCLA. I don't know if I would call her a friend, more of a roommate, and study partner. College isn't any different than high school and I'd rather stay to myself. If you're making friends then you're a part of the drama. Who is screwing who, drugs, and mean girls it's a vicious circle.Keegan and I click because she's diffe

Police sirens startle me awake. Peeling my eyes open, red and blue lights flash along the walls of Chloe's room."What is that?" I groan pulling myself from the floor. Growing up we hardly ever saw police in this area. Has it gone downhill over the years?Chloe groans pulling her pillow over her face. Getting up I step on her bed to look out the window.Spreading the blinds apart, I spot the cop car stopping in front my old house and what looks like my sister and dad outside yelling at each other. Adrenaline wakes me like a cold glass of water to the face."Shit!" Jumping off Chloe's bed I nearly trip on the air mattress rushing out of the house."What is it?" Chloe hollers, but I don't stop.Exiting her house, the screen door slams as I run four houses up."No, you don't understand daddy." Journey pleads, her hands pressed up against my father's chest."I understand alright and he's going to jail!" My father points over Journey's shoulder. Following his finger I spo

TateSitting on the steps of Chloe's house I palm the cup of joe, and blow a the steam swirling from it. It's windy, and warm outside this morning. Sweat beads at the back of my legs as I embrace the quietness."Sup ho?" Chloe plops her ass right next to mine. "You going to see your dad this morning?" Glancing up the street I spot my old man spraying bushes out front. "Hell no." I pick at the peeling paint of nail polish. After our conversation last night, I think we both made it clear what we think of I being back.Looking above the rim of my mug as I take another sip I eye the blue and white bungalow sitting next door."He still comes through here you know."My eyes snap to hers. "What? Who?" I try to play off that I don't know what she's talking about."Camden, he comes through here a couple times a week. Checks on the house and things, some say he is renting the place out." She looks down the street, her lips scrunched in thought. Hearing his name is a karate

Camden9 Years OldBiting on my inner cheek I look around the back yard. There's red and blue balloons, a cake with two fighters on it, and a few presents. "Damn it!" My mouther voice echoes with hint of frustration. I bet I left my bowl of cereal on the counter again, and she knocked it over.Furrowing my brows I head toward the back door leading into our kitchen. "What's wrong mom?" She digs in her purse with pursed lips."I could have sworn I bought candles, but I can't find them. Have you seen them?" She looks at me briefly before lifting various items off the counter to look under them."No." I start helping her look."I'll go buy some more babe." Dad states grabbing the keys off the microwave.Mom runs her hands through her hair and exhales."Just candles, Andrew." She points her finger at him. "Hurry, guests will begin to show up soon.""Candles. Got it." He smiles, ruffling the hair on my head. "Be back soon Champ."Mom nibbles on her bottom lip, ju

"Camden this is Chloe and Tate," Chase introduces."I know who they are," Camden snaps as he sits down uninvited next to Chloe. His smiling bimbo sits on his lap and I grit my teeth wishing they'd leave. He's purposely flaunting her in front of me and I'm not sure how much more I can take before I snap."The gym!" Chase slaps the table. I jump, not sure what he's going on about. "You're the girl who was at the gym today. I knew I saw you from somewhere."Giving a tight lipped smile I nod.Peering up from under my lashes I catch Camden staring at me with hooded eyes. I didn't get much of a chance to look at his face earlier. But now I can't help but ogle him. His blond hair falls into his eyes, and his nose has a scar across it giving it a crooked look. He wears it well though. His eyebrow is missing a few hairs dead in the center, giving him that tough guy persona. He has grown so much since I've seen him last."So how do you guys know each other?" Chase interrupts our stari
