[Briam] "I'm not into him"

chapter 4:

im laying in my bed, trying to ignore my alarm clock buzzing loudly.
i squint because the sunlight peeking through my curtains.

minutes pass while i decide whether or not to get out of my warm bed.
finally, im up on my feet and i hit the snooze button on the clock.
i rub my eyes and sigh heavily.
i didn't get much sleep last night because i spent last night playing C.O.D, but now i regret that decision.

"i hate this," i walked over to my bathroom and grabbed my toothbrush and paste and start brushing my teeth.

i took off my pj bottoms and boxers, throwing them in the laundry bin.
i turn on the shower, making sure to add a ton of hot water.
stepping a foot in, i get fully in and begin to wash my hair and body.
it was refreshing and somehow woke me up a bit more.

about 10 minutes later, im out of the shower and have a towel around my hips.
walking over to my dresser, and grabbing my axe spray, putting it all over.
i pick out my clothes for the day and it happened to be; black jeans, and a blue and black flannel.

this time, i was able to go downstairs and peacefully make some breakfast for today.
i opened the fridge, finding barely any food.
my mom hasn't been able to buy any food lately and we've been running low on almost everything.
deciding on just eating an orange, i sigh and head back upstairs to get my stuff.

about 10 minutes later, i was walking outside to get to the bus stop.
to be completely honest, i was nervous for today.
i didn't want to be teased or freak out today, and i certainly didn't want to allow Brett to make me feel all
flustered.

his change of thoughts on me have thrown me off but im attempting to go along with it.
i looked up from my phone, pulling out an earphone and saw the bus had stopped just then.
(A/N: let's also pretend they all take the bus most of the time unless they drive lmao)
walking onto the bus, i saw most of the same people as the day before.
i smile and wave slightly at my friends.
i notice that every seat seems to have been filled with somebody.
my eyes wander around as i head further to the back.

the only empty seat was straight across from Brett and his friend.
it might be just a bit awkward but i was sure i would be able to handle that.

i put in my other earphone in and close my eyes, blocking out everyone and everything else.
although not everyone was blocked out.
i could still manage to hear Brett and his friend.
(note that Brett is Scott's age, they just mix some seniors in for our classes)
"he's such a loner, you noticed?" his friend whispers harshly.
"yeah-" i open my mouth and say something even with my eyes closed.
"i may be a 'loner' , but I'm certainly not deaf" .
i open my eyes and turn my head, looking at the pair.
"shut up, nobody was talking to you" the boy sneered at me.
i saw Brett laugh and that annoyed me, i rolled my eyes facing forward as i tried to ignore them.

about 15 minutes later, we finally come to our final stop.
just as i got up, the bus moved back slightly, causing me to topple over near Brett.
"look who's clumsy much" Bretts friend spoke again.
I'm going to rip his head off.

a few things had fallen from my bag, therefore, i picked them up in silence.
throwing my backpack over my shoulder, i stood up and noticed Brett right in front of me.
"you good?" he raised an eyebrow at me.
"yeah of course.." i mumble.
Brett was practically towering over me, making me feel quite small and even somehow useless.
he smiled slightly and his friend told him to hurry up from halfway down the bus.
i bit back my lip to prevent myself from smiling as he quickly turned around and walked down the bus aisle, as did i.
