My Brothers Best Friend [Abandoned]

Chapter 2.. Routines and Blushing..

Attention is turned to the tv, primarily. Wandering eyes tend to find their way to me. I'm curious to as what he was seeing? I was nothing like the upperclassmen in my school. I'm a pebble compared to them. So why did he look at me so.. I'm not sure if intensely is the right word but, it'll work. I mean if he's going to look at me, I might as well look at him right?

I woke up Thursday morning around 5:30. I was extremely tired but dragged myself out of bed to get ready. I threw some curls in my hair and did light makeup, just some concealer, mascara, and a bit of lipgloss. I looked through my closet for something to wear. I settled on a pair of black flared leggings with a light pink tight crop top. I glanced at the clock it was 6:15 by time I was done. I checked to see if Alex was ready or even awake. He wasn't. I sighed and went downstairs to get something to eat, I grabbed a strawberry yogurt and ate it quickly before brushing me teeth, to which Alex had finally woken up. We made our way to the car, he starts to reverse, breaking the morning silence,

"We're going to pick up Marcus on the way."

I nod as he continues driving

When we finally pull into Marcus' driveway Alex looks over to me,

"Get in the back Alyssa"

I give him a dirty look as I step out of the passenger seat, then look over to Marcus, whom was taking my seat, and he shrugs and whispers

"Sorry.."

I roll my eyes at his fake apology as I get in the back.

Towards the end of the day I see a flyer on the wall about cheerleading tryouts. That'll be fun! I'll talk to Hannah about that.. maybe we can try out together.

The bell rings and I walk towards the football field to wait for Alex's practice to be over. I sit on the bench and put my sunglasses on to block the sun's beaming rays. I get my phone out and start listening to music and zoning out.

"Alyssa?"

"Ally?"

"Alyssa!" I hear Alex shout

"What? Jeezus no need to yell at me"
Alex and Marcus start laughing

"Clearly I did need to seeing as you didn't hear either of us calling your name!" Alex scoffs

"Whatever" I say as I stand up and start walking toward the parking lot

As I'm walking I see Alex dash past me and Marcus catching up and walking next to me at the same pace

"What's the rush?" I look up at Marcus

"Who knows with that kid?" Marcus sighs

That kid? He's like a few months younger than my brother..

As we reach the car Alex is already sitting at the driver seat playing his music with the windows down. I slide into the back seat putting my sunglasses at the top of my head

When the car gets to quiet I try to break it,

"I'm thinking about trying out for cheerleading" I say, still looking out the window

Alex breaks into a laugh,

"You? A cheerleader? You're so clumsy!"

I scoff, "I never said anything mean when you had football tryouts!" Marcus looks back at me while I speak

"There's nothing mean to say about me"

I burst out laughing, Marcus smiles

"How do you even remember the football plays with your terrible memory! You forget the most basic of things!"
