Chapter 7

Brooke's POV

I woke up before my alarm clock could. I wonder if Jordan was awake too? Shaking my head trying to get thoughts of Jordan out of my head, I got up and walked into my bathroom to take a shower. I washed my hair and did the rest of my hygiene routine before getting out. Deciding to let my hair air dry, I walked into my closet. I found some baby blue high-waist skinny jeans, a hot pink crop top, and a black scarf. I paired that with some leather boots and went to go do my hair.

By the time I was finished getting ready my mom was calling me down for breakfast. I ignored my parents and only talked to the twins cause right now they were the only ones I could trust. I'm a very stubborn girl if you couldn't tell already. After many attempts from my dad trying to talk to me, my mom gave up after three tries. I finished my breakfast, kissed the twins, and left the house.

Arriving at school I could feel many eyes on me. I kept my head up though and made my way to the locker room. When I walked in I saw Brittany and her minions already there. They thought they were so slick but I knew. I saw Tracy over by our lockers and made my way over to her.

"Hey boo." I greeted her.

"Hey hey!" She replied giving me a quick hug.

"I missed you yesterday! I have so much to tell you!" I told her then continued to fill her in on what happened after we got off the phone.

"Wow that's messed up about your dad. So are you still gonna go on the date with Jordan?" She asked.

"Yeah my mom said I could go just so I would talk to her again. We're just gonna tell my dad the teams going out to eat after the game."

"You slick thing you." She laughed.

The bell rang and we put our stuff in our lockers and walked to class.

During math we had to take a quiz and of course I passed. We had time to talk after that, so I filled Trace in on what happened at dinner. By the time I was done she was shell shocked.

"Dang I didn't know your dad could snap off like that." She said.

"Yeah well he's just being very immature about it, I don't see what the big issue is when he's the one that got the girl!"

"So what are you gonna do?" She asked.

"I'm still going but I'm just gonna cover saying the team's going out to eat after the game."

"Well if you need me to I'll cover for you." Trace offered.

"Aw thanks girl I knew I liked you for a reason." I said laughing.

"See that's real low." She said all salty.

"You know I love you girl!" I said throwing my arms around her kissing her cheeks.

"Alright alright! Enough of that before you ruin my makeup." She said pushing me off her.

The bell rang and we left to Spanish, upon arriving, we sat at our separate seats. I could feel his presence before he even sat down. He sits down next to me and just looks at me.

"Can I help you sir?" I tease.

"No you just look good enough to eat today." He says his voice a little husky.

"Well alright then Mr.Cannibal I think I'll pass." I laughed.

"So will you still go out with me?" He asked looking nervous.

"Yes now if you keep asking I'll say no!"

"Thoroughly noted." He said facing towards the teacher.

As my teacher started class I took the time to check Jordan out. He was wearing black and white nike joggers with a red t-shirt, and some black and and white roshes. Even though his fit was simple he looked good. I didn't notice I was staring that hard until he cleared his throat.

"See something you like babygirl?" He asked with his signature smirk resting on his face.

"I mean you look alright today nothing special, so no I don't see anything." I said.

"Yeah well we're supposed to work on these flashcards." He said throwing them on my desk."

After we finished those we had to work on a worksheet. I finished early and was playing on my phone, while Jordan was finishing up.

"What class do you have next?" He asked after turning in his paper.

"I have study hall then open hour after that, why?" I asked.

"Good I have open hour same as you lets go somewhere yeah?"

"Where will we go?"I skeptically asked.

"A special place." He smirked.

"Yeah okay, but I have a taser in my bag in case you wanna pull some funny stuff." I warned.

He laughed and the bell rang and I left to my study hall. When I walked in the room I spotted the twins in the back at our table.

"Hey Snitches!" I yelled setting my stuff down."

"Girl I am not no snitch! This one maybe but not this one boo." Jacob said pointing to Justin.

"Okay but who was the one who told Tracy and Bey about her in Jordan in the hallway yesterday? I'll wait." Justin shot back.

I cracked up laughing at the two as they went back and forth.

"Watch out though, I heard Brittany is out to get Jordan back in he arms." Jacob warned.

"Please I'm not worried about her, besides he was never in her arms, she was hanging off of his. She tried to make a plan to ruin my jersey for our first game but the dummy forgot that I stay in the locker room and I heard the whole thing so she's not really gonna win." I explained.

"Bruh I can't stand her she's like an annoying pest that won't go away. I just want to swat her away like a fly." Justin complained.

"Anyway next subject are yall coming to the game on Friday?" I asked.

"Of course we wouldn't miss it for the world babe." Justin said.

We talked and joked some more before class ended. I dropped my backpack off in my locker and walked outside to wait for Jordan. I went to my car to grab my charger. While sitting on the hood of my truck, Jordan pulled up.

"Hop in babygirl." He said.

"Where are you taking me playboy?" I asked.

"Don't call me that." He said, his whole voice turning serious.

"Then don't call me babygirl." I shot back.

"Mines is flattering though, yours isn't" He argued.

"Where you taking me Jordan?" I asked again.

"To a special place." He said this time with a mischevious smile sitting on his face.

"And where's that?" I questioned tired of asking him where we were going.

"My house." He said pulling out of the school parking lot with a smirk replacing the smile he was just sporting.

Oh lawd what did I get myself into?
