Bryce's POV
I pull Jacob into the bathroom with me.
"So you and Ace, huh?"
"Me and Ace are not a thing, and we haven't done a thing, hell, we don't even talk."
"But you are having dreams about him?"
"Bryce, I'm with you, I know it's not real, but I would still never do anything to hurt you and that includes "cheating" on you."
I couldn't handle this tension building inside me. I wrapped my hands around Jacobs back and pulled him into me and I leaned up and kissed him.
"Jacob, I don't want this relationship to be fake anymore, I'm in love with you."
Jacob looked down at me and frowned. "Bryce, I really have to go."
He turned away from me and shut the door.
Did I do something wrong? Does he not feel the same? Did I read this situation totally wrong?
He probably thinks I'm weird now because I wanted to turn our fake dating into something more. I sit on the floor. I lean my head against the wall as I feel tears streaming down my face. I text Ace.
Me: Wyd
Baby face Ace: Nothing, I was fr about to fall asleep
Me: I think I just ruined everything me and jacob had going on
Baby face Ace: wdym
Me: I told him I didn't want to fake date him I wanted more
Baby face Ace: And???????
Me: He said he had to go and walked out
Baby face Ace: That's all that he said?!?!
Me: Yeah, he seemed rushes and left
Baby face Ace: Next time you see me I may be in prison
Me:???
Baby face Ace: I'm killing him
Me: Ace do not kill him, give him time to maybe explain
Baby face Ace: why should I? He didn't give you time to explain
Me: Ace plz not rn
Baby face Ace: Fine I give him until 8 pm 2nite and one second after that he's gone
Me: fine
I walk out of the bathroom because I hear the bell ring. I walk into the cafeteria and see Ace talking to Kristian. I walk past them and sit at the table in the corner of the room like I do every day.
After a few minutes of scrolling through TikTok thirst traps I hear someone clear their throat on the other side of the table. I put my phone down, I don't recognize the girl sitting across from me.
"Yes?"
She looks down. "Are you Bryce?"
I raise my eyebrows in pure confusion, I've never seen this chick in my life.
"Yeah?"
"I'm Brooklynn," she took a long pause, "Parker."
"Are you lost or something or what?"
"Bryce, my mom Bailee Hayes, she passed away recently and I was told to live with my dad and brother."
"Okay? What to you need with me then??"
"You're my brother."
"No I'm not, you must be crazy."
"Bryce, you are my brother, our dad left my mom as soon as he found out she was pregnant."
"Ok that actually does sound like him, I guess after school I can show you where to go. Give me your number and I'll text you later."
"Okay thank you so much Bryce."
Ace comes and sits beside me. He looks at Brooklynn and then gives a confused look at me. He leans over and whispers,
"Who's she?"
"Ace, this is my sister apparently, her name is Brooklynn."
He looks over at her and smiles, "Hi Brook, I'm Ace, Bryce's best friend/ better half, also his personal therapist that he tells all of his issues and if you try to take that away from me I will not hesitate to kill you."
There is a long, loud silence of us trying to tell whether he's joking or not. We hope he is, but I don't think he is.
"Don't look now but Jacob's coming over here," Ace says looking down.
"Who's Jacob, do we like him?"
"Well, we have mixed feelings about him right now."
"What, why?"
"Well Bryce and Jacob are paired together for a project, you know typical teen love story, but anyways, they started "fake" dating, but Bryce caught feelings for real and so he told Jacob and then Jacob said he had to go, so we don't really know what's happening right now."
Brooklynn looks shocked. "Damn I've been here 5 minutes and I get the tea."
Jacob sits beside me and grabs my hands. He leans close to my neck.
"Baby, please give me a chance to explain what happened earlier, maybe come by the house later and we can "work on our project some more," he whispered into my neck causing me to turn every shade of bright red.
I nod, he gets up and smiles. "I'll see you tonight then, do I need to come get you?"
"You can if you want."
"I'll be there at 6."
He walks off.
"He's hot."
"Brook, he really isn't."
"He kinda really is."
"Brook, I can tell we're gonna get along already."
"Okay, you two almost done, we have things to do."
"Give us some time, Brycey."
"Never call me that again, Ace."
"No promises."
