Blake's Playbook

Crazy Sense

Valerie's POV:

As I sat down in english grinning to myself, I suddenly felt a dark aura, I turned to face Kayla

"Hey Slut' she said smiling 

"What's new hoe" I said smiling back at her

"You know, if it weren't for Blake and Brody, I think we could've been good friends" she said staring down at her table

"And if you weren't crazy" i added on

"I may seem crazy but that doesn't prevent me from seeing the obvious" she said mysteriously

"What do you me-" my question was unfinished by a loud shush from the teacher

"Open your eyes val, ask any pretty girl in the school about Blake Smith" Kayla whispered

I slumped down in my chair, trying to tune out Kayla, but she did make me curious 

When it was finally lunch, I didn't go to the cafeteria as usual but instead went out into the football field, I watched the cheerleaders practice their mediocre routine, Kayla's advice echoed through my head as I looked at the pretty blonde girl at the top of the pyramid , Suddenly my legs were moving faster than my brain could register. I was suddenly in front of the pretty blonde girl who seemed confused by my presence 

"Blake Smith" Was the only thing I could say

"What about him" She asked clearly confused

"Dateable?" I simply asked

"If you like getting your heartbroken" she said with a pain in her eye

"Brody Young?" I asked curious to know if my almost best friend could be the same

"Stay away, unless you want your reputation ruined by Kayla" she said warningly 

I walked away, bothered by the fact that I didn't actually know these boys at all, our friendship was to sudden, almost as if it was planned. I could feel the anger in my veins, I was more upset at myself for being so dumb

"Rose, what's wrong" Brody said as grabbed my arms 

"Nothing but yet everything, I feel so naive" I said frowning 

"Lets go" Brody said as he tossed me over his shoulder

"where are you taking me" I said hitting his back with my hands

"Somewhere where you wont feel naive" He  said

Brody rested me in the passenger side of his jeep, as he went around to the driver's side and speed off onto the road. My eyes suddenly felt heavy, I needed a quick nap. I soon fell asleep to the sound of Brody's humming 

As I woke up, the sound of waves crashing shocked me, I opened my eyes to see the beach. I couldn't help but smile

"I love it when  you smile Rose" Brody said looking down at his legs

"Thank You for taking me here" I said getting out of the jeep

I quickly took off my dress and my shoes, and ran into the water, It wasn't freezing but it wasn't warm. but the ocean felt nice against my skin

"Get in  here B" I said playfully motioning to Brody

Brody took off his jeans and his shirt and came into the water

" I didn't think you were gonna get into the water Rose" he said laughing

"I didn't think I would either" I said truthfully

I suddenly felt the urge to hug Brody, so I did. Hugging Brody felt right, he always made me feel safe and happy. 

"Lets go build a sand castle" I said like I was a little kid

"Whatever you want Rose" he said carrying me out of the water 

"You don't have to carry me" I said smiling at Brody

"I want too" Brody said smiling back

We spent the rest of the day at the beach, I learned that Kayla was Brody's first love, but he always felt like he was more in love with her than she was with him

Brody also told me that he wanted to try out for the lacrosse team but he didn't want to disappoint Blake and the Volleyball team, he shared his dreams about helping people all over the country one day. 

While Brody confided in me, I also told him about my previous relationship and how the jerk had cheated on me with my former best friend, I explained to him that is why I don't have close friendships to girls anymore  or why I am hesitant to ever be in a relationship again 

The day ended, as Brody drove me home and I scarfed down the french fries we had bought, suddenly we were at my block, singing "Don't Stop Believing" , as we arrived in front of my house, Brody lowed down the music

"Thank You for today, I hope you know we are getting that ass to lacrosse tryouts tomorrow " I grinned at him

"Anytime Rose, and as long as you're there" he said looking into my eyes

As I looked into Brody's eyes, it was apparent that Brody was a true friend

"Brody, get your ass in here... we need to talk" Blake yelled from his window as he broke me and Brody's gaze
