brandon's povi pulled up to isabella's house to pick her up for the first day of school. after putting my jeep in park, i pulled out my phone and opened the messaging app.
i smiled to myself as i put my phone in my lap. after a few minutes, izzie hopped into the car. she put her backpack in my backseat.
she has this tendency to slump in the passengers seat of my car whenever she's in it, "good morning brandon." she said side eyeing me.
"good morning to you too, isabella." i said hesitantly while shifting the gear out of park and in drive.
she's on her phone when i interrupt, "you know izzie, everytime i think we are making progress. you just-"
"i what?" she said, sitting up and locking her phone. "am i bad for your ego bran bran?"
i was about to turn at the end of her street, "you're a mean girl, isabella taylor."
this brought a smile to her face, "but you like me anyways."
she's right, i do enjoy her company. "so are you ready? you have to sit with me and the guys at lunch. you should bring your friend if you want."
looking ahead, she sighed, "and remind me.. what am i getting out of this?"
"you mean besides quality time with me? you know-" i started before she cuts me off again, "a lot of girls would kill to blah blah blah, yeah i know you've said this before. i don't care, brandon."
so stubborn, this one. "see that's what you're getting.." i say, "rid of the attitude."
i probably shouldn't have said this because once again, she's death glaring me. i quickly clarify, "im kidding!" just to ensure my safety until we get to school.
we drove in silence for a few minutes. i ended up sneaking a few glances at her when i could. mostly because, she looks really pretty today. i probably should've told her when i picked her up maybe she would've been a little nicer to me, but then again she might read to much into it.
as ethan always says, "giving a girl that isn't a friend a compliment comes with implications and strings! and if you're not ready to follow up, then don't say shit!" but, who am i to listen to anything that comes out of that idiot's mouth.
im about to say it when she breaks the silence, "im sorry." is all she says. i blink a few times to made sure i wasn't losing it.
"slap me if im wrong but did you just apologize?" i ask, briefly turning to face her.
she smirks, "only for being so mean. im not a morning person. but about what you said earlier, I do think we are making process, some might even call you a friend brandon yorke!"
a friend. she thinks we are friends. i don't know why but that didn't give me the satisfaction it should've gave me. or what i thought it would've gave me three weeks ago.
i brush these thoughts off as she continues.
isabella rotated her body completely so that she was facing my direction, "i don't know. im practically giving you lessons and i have to pretend to be your girlfriend for who knows how long. it just seems like im getting the short end of the stick---that is this deal."
i pulled into the school's parking lot and shifted the gear back to park. she's not wrong. she's doing me two favors and the most im doing for her is helping the people's idea of her. and now that i think about it, its not much seeing as.. who gives a fuck what other people think. from what i know, izzie is one of the coolest people i know.
"so what do you want?" i asked swiftly, turning to her.
it looks like i shocked her when she speaks, "what do you mean?"
"anything. name it and ill make it happen." she furrowed her eyebrows when i continued, "you're kinda right. you should get more out of this. so anything you want." i finished and waited for her answer.
"well, i don't know. you caught me offguard, ill have to think about it."
i turned off the car and reached for her bag to give her, "whenever you do, just let me know. nothing too crazy."
"of course not. im not gonna ask for a car or something." she said taking her bag.
a.n. sorry for the hiatus but im on winter break from college so ill be updating until i get back i promise!!
