When You Came

Chapter 4: Fame

You guys are cool ;)

Chapter 4: Fame
We go to our normal table, and I was eager to eat the food Dona packed for me. "So tell me, how is it that my best friend gets to be with the hottest guy in school?" Lilly sits next to me. I look at her, and she's glaring at me.

"Is there something you are telling me? What about me?" I gasp sarcastically.

"I hate you." She half grins, half scowls.

"Do you like Hunter?"

"I don't know, but his band mates are smoking."

"Band mates? And what kind of smoking?" I take a bite of the ham sandwich.

"Smoking hot, and how didn't recognize him?! He's Hunter Samuels from 7Keys!"

"Oh! Him! What a plot twist." I look around, and he's hanging out with some football jocks.

"Sarcasm isn't necessary, Brooklyn." I look back at her.

"You know I'm not on Internet a lot, they've been on tour, how could I have recognized him?"

"Because....augh, I don't know!" She says.

We talk the rest of lunch, and we agree that after school, I'd stay at her house. Her mom loves me. Adores me, but only Lilly (and now I guess Hunter's mom) know about my struggle.

The day went on, then last hour happened. "Hey Greeney, are we meeting after school?" He whispers.

"I'm...busy." I say back.

"Can you do tomorrow? Then we can go out. You know, since it's Friday."

"Sure.... I guess."

He doesn't respond, then a note is flicked onto my papers.

You know the whole purpose of this project, is to get to know the other person.

I look back at him, and nod. He's in a boy band. The whole internet knows everything about him.

After class, he follows me to my locker. "I'm going home with a friend, you don't need to watch over me." I say.

"I..." he pauses. "I'm sorry? My mom says to call this number for help. But I guess you'll see her tomorrow."

"Thanks." I take the slip of paper. "Why me?"

"What?" He asks, closing his phone.

"Why do you spend so much time with me, or want to?"

"We're partners." He smirks. "Just kidding, I don't know. There's something about you, Greene. See you around."

"Bye." I say, and I finish my doings at my locker. Then I walk to Lilly's car.

**********

"Hey mom, Brooklyn's over again." Hunter shouts.

"Okay." Someone yells back. We go up to his room, and he closes the door. "Let's get this over with." He says.

I get all my stuff out, then I realize I need to pee."Can I use the bathroom?"

"No." He says with a straight face. I roll my eyes, and get up to use his ensuite. I drop something from my book, but I'll pick it up later.

When I walk back out, Hunter quickly jams a piece of paper into his pocket. "What was that?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Nothing." he plays it off.

"Okay, so I'm either really stupid...or slow. Probably both." I start. "But I had no idea you were the Hunter Samuels. Hi!" I smile.

"Hey. I had no idea you were the Brooklyn Greene!"

"I'm nobody special, now your guitar solos are legendary. I wanna start there."

"You can look everything up online. I wanna hear your story." He leans closer.

"I'm pretty basic." I lie. "I have a step dad."

"Name?"

"Kevin." I mumble. How I hate his fucking guts.

"Kevin." He repeats slowly. Then his phone rings. "Excuse me." He says to me. I nod, and he answers it. "Hello?" I couldn't hear anything on the other line. "Shit, sorry man, I totally forgot. I have this project...yes with her...I'm she won't mind...who? Yeah that's fine. Okay, see you in a bit." And he hangs up.

"What's that all about?"

"Umm...I kinda forgot that tonight was when my band members are coming over to hang. Just three others, and maybe one's girlfriend. I hope you don't mind? Because if you do, I can dri-"

"It's okay, Hunter." I smile. He smiles back, and we continue with some questions.
