Seeing my brother made me so happy. It did so many things to me emotionally and mentally. It's funny how someone's presence can lift a burden. I needed to have a conversation with him. Even if it wasn't lengthy, just the thought of him showing up in a matter of minutes because I had a mental breakdown gives me so much contentment.

He cares. "He fucking cares about me," I tell myself perplexed. "Of course he does, his my biological brother." I lightly whack my forehead which is not so big.

My phone buzzes and it's a text from Bryann letting me know that he'll be here to pick me up in the next 20 minutes.

"Oh crap". I jump off my bed and trot into the bathroom. I forgot that he was picking me up for class. I take an abrupt shower and pick out the first thing I lay my eyes on in my dresser. Luckily, it's a perfect combo. Dark Blue skinny jeans and a Black Ricky and Morty T-shirt with white crocs. I mean, easy skanking. I'm not trying to look good for anyone. I spray my hair and place it in a messy bun. "PERFECTO."

I check my phone and I have surprisingly done everything in due time. My phone buzzes and it's Bryann again letting me know that his outside. I put lipgloss on my lips and head outside before locking the door to the apartment behind me.

The girls had class early so we didn't get to see each other in the morning. Our schedules are different because we're studying different programs.

I spot bryann leaning on the hood of his car pressing his phone. His in sports shorts and a tigers vest. his muscles are prudent in his stance. That stance can make any girl fall to his knees. Not me though, I'm not the easy type. I don't know what time he stopped pressing his phone and I'm caught admiring.

"You know what? Take a picture, it lasts longer." Bryann teases me with a smirk on his brims. I'm blushing from embarrassment because I was caught armiring him, but I deny it either way.

"Take a picture of what? Your car?" I question him and he looks taken aback " stop making scenarios in your head I was admiring the car, not you." I lightly chuckle and he just scratches the back of his head as if embarrassed and opens the passengers side door for me. I do the happy dance while he walks over to the drivers side door and I stop once he opens the door and seats. It's funny how I turned the tables around in a blink of an eye. That's why I always say "be complacent with yourselves kids." See how I turned a situation that was favoring him and not me into favoring me because of confidence? I shake my head and smile.

The school is not far from the apartment and in no time we arrive at the schools carpark. We part ways with bryann, he has football practice.
Meanwhile I have a lecture to attend. Class goes by pretty fast and the lecture was good. Once we're done with everything, I decide on going to the football field to check on bryann because I have extra 20 minutes before my second class of the day.

I know that going there will make me run into Adrian. The chances of not running into him are zero to none but I head there either ways because my legs are taking me there and honestly, a big part of me wants to see him. I don't know where this boldness is coming from but I like it.

I get to the field and find them winding up there game. Bryann is playing against Adrian and Adrians team is leading by 11:8. Bryann spots me and winks at me and I smile at him. He tries to wave at me but his stopped by a ball slamming into his head. I check for the person that threw the ball at him and it's Adrian. It's a bit funny because it was so sudden and unexpected but I stop myself from laughing because I'm supposed to be mad at Adrian for doing that.

The coach calls both of them out of the game and Adrian storms off angrily and Bryann follows behind him. I decide to follow them too because they're the reason I'm here in the first place. Technically bryann is the 'only' reason.

I find them in the hallway to the boys locker room luckily, because I don't have access to the boys locker room or the gym because it's only accessible to the schools sports players. It's out of bounce for locals like myself.

They seem to be arguing about God knows what. As I urge nearer I get a glimpse of what they're talking about. ME.

"Don't ever fucking look at her like that again." Adrian threatens Bryann with a stain voice.

"You're not the boss of me neither are you the boss of her. I don't even know why you're overreacting when you don't even know her." Bryann fires back. Adrian clenches his fist, grabs him by the collar and aims his fist at Bryanns face. Bryann is also ready to fight back when I jump in to avoid any casualties. I wouldn't be at piece if any of them broke a bone because of me or under my watch.

"Adrian!" I yell and he looks at me and let's go of an angry looking bryann. "Who I talk to or become friends with is none of your goddamn business. Get a grip of yourself and get your shit together. This same attitude is one of the reasons why we're no longer friends. If you continue like this you'll end being alone." I finish off and grab bryanns hand, I pull him besides me and start scanning his head looking for the part that had impact with the ball.

Adrian looks at me in disbelief. A part of me feels bad for him but another part of me doesn't.

The coach walks in and they both compose themselves " Mr cornel and Mr knight. To my office, NOW!" He instructs them franticaly. I can tell that they're both startled by his tone because of the looks on there faces. I would be intimidated too because he certainly looks feverish. He then turns to me, " and you missy?" I feel like pissing in my pants right now. "What do you think you're doing here? This place is out of bounce. Shu now before I get you suspended." He hustles me off and without a second thought I storm off.

His quite the character.
