Enough Secrets (gxg)

8 : Can't Wait

Brook's POV

If this is what it feels like to have feelings for someone then why are romance movies so popular? This is horrible. I don't understand why or how people can do this multiple times in their life.

"Yo Brooks you want to play some fifa with-" Kade walks into my bedroom. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing" I quickly close my phone.

"Come on Brooks, I can tell when something is wrong" he comes and takes a seat next to me. I hesitate at first thinking if I should tell him or not.

"I met someone"

"Really?" he smiles. "That's great Brooks"

"Yeah great. Except for the part that she has a boyfriend" his smile fades. "The first girl that I want to date and be in a relationship with is already in one. I guess I deserve it"

"Brooks don't say that. It's not true"

"Yes it is Kade. I have spent all of high school just hooking up with a bunch of people, not wanting to date or be in a relationship and the one time I want to be it isn't going to happen"

"That doesn't mean that you don't deserve to be in a relationship. Brooks you may be annoying at times, but you are a good person. I know that when you do get into a relationship you will be a great girlfriend. Especially since I will kick your ass if you aren't" he says, making me laugh.

"I'm sorry that the girl you like has a boyfriend. This probably won't help right now, but if you guys are suppose to be together it will happen. And if not you will find someone. It may not be soon but there is someone out there for you"

"Thanks"

"Now show me who the girl that has changed my sister. And don't try to lie and say you weren't on her page when I walked in cause you locked your phone real quick"

"I swear sometimes I hate being part of a spy family" he laughs at my response. I grab my phone and unlock it to show Kade. I was on Blake's social media.

"She's really pretty Brooks" my brother remarks. "Shit sorry"

"It's okay. She is hot"

"Fifa distraction?"

"Yeah, let's go. But I'm not going easy on you just because I'm sad. You are still going to lose"

"I wouldn't expect anything less"

******

Avoiding Blake has been harder than I expected it to be. Besides physics class I have not been near her. Although I didn't ask her to and would never ask her to, she hasn't sat with us at lunch since we last talked. She hasn't come up to my friends if I am with them.

I knew that if I was going to get over her I needed some distance between us. Getting closer to her would only make everything hurt more. It sucks because I do enjoy having her as a friend, but I can't help how I feel.

In physics class it is very awkward. I tried to see if I could switch seats but I was told no. Me and Blake have to stay partners till the end of the semester. For all of the class we both are silent. Neither of us saying anything to each other unless we have to work on an assignment. Even then our conversations are short and focused on our work.

We have class together today. I am not looking forward to the awkwardness that doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon. As I sit down in my seat, Blake is already sitting. The hour of silence and avoiding eye contact has begun.
