Rewrite the StarsChapter 3

After classes were over, Caleb Reed cornered me in the stairwell.

"What was that with Jaxson Miller today?"

I didn't want to waste a single breath on him. "None of your business."

Caleb flinched, clearly not expecting me to snap at him. He blocked my path with his arm.

"Chloe, Jaxson isn't the kind of guy you play with. Why would you give him a love letter?"

Thinking about everything that happened in my past life, my blood started to boil.

"Who I play with is my business. What does it have to do with you?"

"He’s bad news. Even if he’s 'bad news,' he’s better than someone who strings people along—someone who won't say yes but won't let go, either."

If Caleb hadn't given me just enough hope every time I was about to move on in my last life, I wouldn't have wasted my youth on him.

Caleb’s face paled. "Chloe, what is that supposed to mean?"

I crossed my arms and sneered. "It means I'm insulting you. Can't you tell?"

Caleb looked like he was about to explode, but I was done. I spotted Jaxson walking not far away and waved frantically. "Jax! Over here!"

Under the gaze of the crowd, Caleb had to drop his arm. He leaned in and whispered, "Chloe, I’m disappointed in you."

I smiled at Jaxson while telling Caleb: "Get lost."
