The Boy Next Door *On Hold*

24

Brooklyn POV

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

Satan's own demonic creat- my alarm clock pulled me out of my slumber at precisely 6:27. I took an extra two minutes to stretch before I turned that damned alarm off and text Val.

Me: how does a ride sound this morning?

Why walk in the bitter cold when you have a Val?

6:30. I laughed to myself and got out of the bed.

I pulled out a pair skinny jeans and a hoodie and slid into them. I decided against brushing through my stupid hair and put it in a bun.

6:40.

Mr. MarVALous: I got your ride if you treat me to breakfast ;)

Me: I'm not spending a million bucks on you..

Mr. MarVALous: you should, I'm worth it

Me: I'm ready when you are

I rolled my eyes and made my way outside. Val's car pulled into the driveway as I locked the door. I jumped into his car and we made our way to school.

Thankfully, our school serves breakfast, so we don't have to risk being late to get a muffin or a breakfast sandwich.

Val went through everything in the cafeteria before grabbing a coffee, a breakfast sandwich, a bagel and an orange juice.

I raised my eyebrows at him.

"What? I'm a growing boy."

"I'm not buying you all of that."

"Fine." He grumbled, putting back the breakfast sandwich and the juice.
