|Y/N's P.O.V.|
It's been two days since it happened. I am not allowed on school grounds for the rest of this boring week. My mom is mad at me for getting into the fight. My dad doesn't even know because he is off on a business trip. We all know he is with another woman. My mother keeps saying he is not but she knows that is not true. I scroll through my phone hoping to pass the time. All this time at home is driving me crazy. A knock at the door snaps me out of my little world. While getting up, I still feel the dizziness I've had for two days.
"Hello? Anyone home?" I hear a familiar soft voice. Quickly, I bolt to the door and open it.
"Brad? What are you doing here?" I question him. I thought he would be with Britney right now or at school for that matter. Just because I can't come doesn't mean it isn't still running. He looks out of breath like he just ran a mile. I think about it and look around. No car, bike, stake board, or anything that would get him here. He lives a mile away so did he run a mile? "How did you get here?" I finally ask.
"I kinda, well, did run here." He told me. No wonder he is so good at football. "I could have used my car but it's nice to run sometimes, right?"
"I guess so. Do you wanna come in?" I offered. Just need to keep my cool and everything will be fine. Still, one thing haunts me. Why is he not with Britney? Or at school? Why with me instead? I'll ask later. Don't want to ruin this moment. For now, I just want to hang with him. It is only now that I notice that the dizziness I have felt is gone and replaced with a welcoming warm feeling. I like this much more than the dizziness and pain I have felt.
|Brad's P.O.V.|
I walk inside after Y/N asked me if I wanted to. I feel different around her. I feel How I felt when I first started to date Britney and I loved her. That feeling has faded on my side of our love. Speaking of Brit, I should be with her. Why do I want to be here instead? Why don't I end it with Britney? Oh, right. He father. The only thing that is keeping me with her. I should never have never even started to date her. It has made me so miserable. As soon as summer hits, I am gonna break up with her. I will be going to a different school in a different state anyway. Wait, that means that I will leave Y/N here. Should I tell her? No doubt we spend way too much time together for us to be just friends. Yet, we are just friends. I shouldn't want to be close to her. To feel her lips on mine. To fall asleep and wake up next to her. To just have her around when I have nobody else. Yeah, it's wrong. But it feels right. "So, how have you been since the... y'know, thing," I ask. Good going, Brad. Mentioning the fight like that. She probably doesn't want to talk abo-
"displeasing and yet enjoyable at the same time. I feel strange but better than before." she har her reply. I feel butterflies grow in my stomach when she speaks to me. I didn't think I would get a reply. Well, not a calm one like that. That's one thing about Y/N. She is calm most of the time. The locker room is an exception, of course.
"That's nice I guess. Since you can't be at school, how about I study with you? Since I am already here that is." I try to sound cool but it came out more as a 'I want to hang out with you' type of thing. Of course, it was but she doesn't need to know that. I want her to think I am just here to study. I don't have to be here but I am here for her. Then again that doesn't sound cool. Maybe I choose the right words after all.
"Sure, why not? I was gonna bake a cake. How about you quiz me on stuff while I bake and afterward, I can quiz you? If we do well, We can even have cake as a reward." she giggles at the last bit. Man, she is great in almost every way. Super good looking and cute, brave enough to fight Britney, strong enough to win against Britney, probably good in the bedro-... No, don't think like a thing, Brad. You don't even know if she likes you back or if you are just a friend to her. It is too soon to make a move. I need to make a move before the end of the school year but after I break up with Britny, which will probably get kicked out of school. This is starting to get complicated. I get lost in my thought but my train of thought is broken when I hear her voice again. "Uh, hello? Earth to Brad." The female voice speaks up and I look up "H-huh? oh yeah, sure." I stutter out, earning a soft smile from Y/N.
