Breighton~
"BREIGHTON ELIZABETH!" My brother yelled from the downstairs foyer. I stayed quite pretending that I didn't hear him because I knew that he would come up anyway. I waited and as I waited I listened to the amazing cords from Fireside emitting from my speakers.
I smiled to myself as I finally heard that sound of the skin from his feet slapping against the wood flooring. By the time that he made it to my bedroom door I had already gotten up and turned my music down. I turned around and saw my brother Glenn panting for breath dramatically in my doorway.
I sat on my bed and waited for him to gather himself. He finally got the air he need and said, "Ok.. so. I went and got the mail today..." Thats the one thing he had to say to get my undivided attention. "And.." I said raising my eyebrows. "And.. you got a letter from that stupid preforming arts school. What was it called.. St. Stupid." he huffed and pouted.
I got up from my bed and took a step towards him. "Where is it?" I asked. He looked down and pulled the envelope from his pocket. Glenn was now holding my future in between his pointer and middle finger. I lunged toward it but Glenn put it over his head.
"Glenn thats not funny give it." I said and jumped to get it but failing. He looked hurt. "You don't really wanna go do you." he said. I knew this was a big deal for him. I was basically his best friend and I was leaving are small little town in England to go to the states and attend a school.
"Glenn." I sighed and sat back down on my bed. He sat next to me and stayed quite. "Im going to St. Claire and you need to understand that this is my future. I can't waste this oppurtunity." He wouldn't look at me. "Gle-" I started. "Don't" he said and walked out of my room.
Tears welled up in my eyes but I continued to open the letter from St. Claire. I tried to keep the tears inside but one escaped as I read the one line I was hoping for... Congrats Ms.Elizabeth you have been chosen to attend St. Claire. Pack up and we will see you on Monday.
---Congrats Ms.Elizabeth you have been chosen to attend St. Claire. Pack up and we will see you on Monday.I probably read that line over 50 times and I still couldn't believe that I made it. Even though I was standing in the airport waiting on my plane. I looked over at my family and shook my head. Glenn is acting tough for my Mom and little brother. My little brother Robert , but we call him Bobby, was only a couple of months when my dad died.
...Anyway. I took a deep breath and hugged everyone before getting onto my plane and looking out the window. Soon the sounds of stressed out babies crying and the hum of the planes engine were lulling me into a deep slumber.

"2314 Derrick Dr. please." I said to the taxi driver. "England baby huh?" He asked. He had the same accent as me so I felt more relax then before. "Yeah, do you know where St. Claire is?" I asked and he nodded his head.
He started to drive and we were there in about 10 minutes. I smiled and paid the driver but he refused. "I can see your knew here. This ones on me." I thanked the man graciously and shut the door. I walked up to the steps of St. Claire whilst looking at my time tables.
I was to ingaged in the sheet of paper I didn't see the wall ahead of me. And usualy people would say that it wasn't a wall but an extremely hot guy.... but no. I ran into an actual brick wall. Smooth Breighton smooth..
I opened the door to the school and walked to the office only to be greated with three guys and one girl. I stopped dead in my tracks. My anxiety eating me up inside and the little shadow on my shoulder telling me things no one should indure. I blushed and looked down when I noticed that the tall, brunette, god like creature looking at me.
I took a deep breath and pushed the anxiety down. "Hello, Im Breighton Elizabeth. Kinda like brighten your day." I stuck my hand out for a shake. The tallish but not really, red head kind of shrunk away. But the god like creature, that I will name Chip for now, took my hand and kissed it.
"Hello love, my names Jack." welp there goes Chip. I giggled and looked away at my thoughts and he raised a perfect eyebrow. "Sorry I just thought of something funny." I smiled. I was about to say something else when another girl walked in. "Hello L.A your day just got better." She smiled broadly and I could tell that these next few days were gonna be interesting.

Jack~
"Wow." Thats the only word I could muster when I looked through the window office walls to see a small blonde girl. She was about 5'3 and had curves.Her blonde hair fell down her back in straight strans down to her waist. She was, in my eyes atleast, beautiful.
As she was walking I noticed she was walking towards the office where me, Sam, Zach, and Gracey Mae where waiting for the rest. I hoped that she was one of the girls that we were showing around. "I call showing her around." I said and smiled a little when she ran into a wall.
We all silently agreed and watched as she walked into the office. I was about to great her when she looked up from her times table and saw all of us. She kinda flinched and looked towards her shoulder. What ever was going through her head it was pushed back with a deep breath as she looked back up at all of us and smiled.
Her smile marks prominate on her chubby-ish cheeks. But I could tell this was hard for her. "Hello, my names Breighton Elizabeth. Kinda like brighten your day." She kept her smile on her face. No one went to shake her hand so I made my move. I took her soft little hand in mine and kissed it.
"Hello love, my names Jack." She laughed a bit showing off her straight teeth. I rose my eyebrow in queston and she quickly recovered by saying that she thought of something funny. I shrugged it off and looked towards the door where there was a tall-ish brunette coming into the office.
"Hello L.A your day just got better."She spoke confidently. Well this is going to be.... fun.

"So what brings you to St. Claire?" I asked Brei whilst we walked around campus. It was Saturday and I was giving her a tour so she would know where to go on Monday. "I like the idea of traveling." She said in a sort of soft whisper. Shes not really the shy type but it looks like something is bringing her down.
"Bullshit." I said hoping to get the real reason out of her. I know I shouldn't be pushing but I couldnt help it. I had the need to know her. Everything about her. She looked up at me as we arrived at a small pond next to the dorms. We sat down under an oak tree and watched as the remaining sun flow into beautiful burts of pink and orange.
For the first time today she gave a genuine smile. Even if it was a small one playing one the corner of her lips. "Have you ever wanted to get away." She looked forward at the pond. I looked toward her and I took in every detail of her face from the side. I smiled a little bit and said, "Yeah, almost everyone has a reason for being here. Most of the time its to get away." I didn't mean to sound like a douche but I probably did.
She didn't say anything after that. She just looked down and nodded. I was about to hit myself for being so stupid but I heard her take a deep breath and she leaned over to rest her head on my shoulder. "Yeah, I can tell that we are going to be great friends." She closed her eyes and this time I actually did hit myself.. Did she just friend zone me.. Shit.
