Brooke and Wayatt are at the A&W fast food still at the mall Eaton center of Toronto, in front of their already served Burger, with fries, ketchup and a drink.

Wayatt does not seem interested in the food, he is focusing on his phone busy typing. Brooke needs to entice his attention and the question of why he seems angry with her since yesterday appears in her mind. All this distance does not disturb Brooke but it triggers her a little and she does not like feeling such a tense atmosphere.

"Are we not friends anymore?" Brooke suddenly asks while hanging her head supported by her hands on the table under her chin and looking at Wayatt who lifts his head to face Brooke with a raised eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" He interrogates.

"I mean nothing, it is a question," she continues still looking at the boy and waiting for a possible answer.

"I already told you what friends are supposed to be to each other, be truthful." He digs back his eyes on his phone screen.

"And how have I not been a true friend?" She continues insisting on the topic.

Wayatt does not answer and continues his activities." Do you know I still have your keys?" She provokes.

Wayatt frowns and redresses on the chair, then decides to respond to Brooke's question. " I saw you yesterday in Mackenzie's room kissing Mason,"

Brooke removes her hand from the table and redresses her head back, then laughs after looking at him for a second. Wayatt does not seem happy with her reaction and feels as she is just joking, after all, he continues typing, ignoring Brooke's childish attitude " she is just a baby," he says to himself.

"I'm (chuckles) I'm sorry about laughing like that, but I don't get it, have I kissed Mason?" Brooke continues mocking.

" Stop pretending,"

" How can you know something I don't know Wayatt? I mean if I kissed Mason then I'm sure I would have remembered about it,"
Wayatt does not answer and continues focusing on his phone still frowning. " (Sighs) I didn't kiss Mason." She declares after stopping her blows of laughter. " So is it what was disturbing you? Are you jealous?"

Wayatt chuckles and looks back at Brooke.

" Don't make me laugh,"

" So why were you angry? Admit it," she emphasizes.

" You were on his laps!" He exclaims.

" Okay, you are free not to trust me but let me ask you a question... If it was the case, that I kissed Mason and you were jealous. Will it be because I just kissed another boy after we almost fucked up?" Brooke asks with tempting regard.

Wayatt rolls his eyes at Brooke and folds his hands on the table while approaching. " I'm not jealous, and I will never be!" He affirms.

" Never say never," she snatches a fries from Wayatt's plate and eats it with a smirk while Wayatt continues his favourite activity of the day, typing on his phone.

Brooke puts some ketchup in her Burger, closes it, holds it, lifts it, then bites it causing the burger sauce to remain on the corner of her mouth. She gets out a "shit!" and she hides her mouth with one hand, takes a handkerchief with the other hand under Wayatt's furtive regard. Brooke wipes her mouth and lifts her eyes to Wayatt noticing he is looking at her. She gets down the handkerchief and asks embarrassed " what is it?"

Wayatt nods his head," you are terrible!"

He approaches the table, then straight his hand to Brooke's mouth and with his thumb, he wipes delicately Brooke's chapped lips and liberates her from the little sauce she forgot to wipe at the corner of her rosy rims.

Without giving attention to the regards of the people around them, Wayatt stays with his thumb on Brooke's lips, attracted by her green eyes and Brooke not wanting to separate from his dark eyes too.

Wayatt realizing the moment removes gradually his thumb while breaking the contact between them.

"Sorry!" He says.

But Brooke holds his thumb and slowly licks slowly and seductively the sauce on his finger accompanied by a gentle bite under the regard of Wayatt, surely telling himself, why he feels so focus on her actions, seeing her lips on his thumb and feeling her tongue on his skin. His spits get down to his throat and assimilate the moment.

" I don't like wasting food," she declares before leaving Wayatt's thumb and leaving him astonish by her savage behaviour, but rather attractive. He redresses on his chair, clear his throat uncomfortably, and decides to eat. Brooke knows she has probably woken up something in him and is glad of the effect she still has even on such an indifferent person.

After a few minutes finishing their launch, they get into the car ready to get back home. Brooke has her eyes out of the car while Wayatt is focusing on the road driving, with no noise and no one wanting to add a word.

They pass through the Nathan Phillips square of Toronto and Brooke through her window sees a group of young blacks dancing at the public plaza. She recognized the group and shout to Wayatt to stop somewhere. " What?" Wayatt does not understand what is wrong with her.

" Just stop Wayatt please," she continues.

Wayatt stops and Brooke prepares to get down but he holds her hand. " What do you want to do here? It is already 6 pm and Mackenzie is surely waiting for us." He declares.

" If you don't want to wait, then go and I will manage, okay?" She gets out of Wayatt's control and goes out of the car.

She gets closer to the group still dancing in the middle of the public plaza with people encouraging them around. Brooke loves these street dancers and usually dances with them when she was just 14years old.

They finally finish, before people throw coins and dollars in their hats in the middle of the circle they where performing in. Brooke gets to them and with a smile " Hey guys!" She says to them before they turn back to Brooke and get glad to see her back with them. The group is composed of one girl and two boys, one black boy and the rest are mixed races.

" It's being a long time baby," one of the boys says.

" Yes, I know. I have been busy since. I came here several times to search for you but you weren't here," Brooke declares.

" Yeah, baby we had some problems but is alright." The black boy says.

" So what's up babe? Come and give us some show... You know, like the good old times." The girl says.

Brooke can't resist the proposal and accepts under their cheering. They stand in the middle of Nathan Phillips Square, the large public plaza in front of the city hall. They switch on their radio and prepare for the show.

In his car, Wayatt doesn't understand Brooke's attitude but is curious to know what she went to do. He gets out while closing behind him and sees people crowded around the public place and with music sounding all along. He excuses himself to pass and gets in front, he can see a group of street dancers, performing with Brooke at the center.

Wayatt stares at the show but instead concentrates on Brooke's performance who does not seem to care about the regards around her, who seems different when dancing. She smiles and gets out her dimples while shaking at the music's rhythmic sound. He can see passion and joy on her face and is almost feeling guilty of wanting to retain her in the car later.

The dance show stops and Brooke thanks everyone, notice Wayatt is looking at her and first decides to greet her friends then get to Wayatt.

" And so? What did you think about my performance?" She asks Wayatt.

Wayatt smirks" you are talented!" He compliment.

Brooke smiles and thanks him "That's my world! If you want to change me as you always intend to say, just tell me to dance and you will see the true Brooke."

"You don't believe I can make it, right? I will prove to you the contrary." He concludes.

"Good luck then!" She exclaims while getting to the car before Wayatt gets too and rides to the frat house.
