The Violin And The Football

Fresh Start

(Brooklynn's POV)

What happened last week with Blake was really weird. But I've tried to forget it.

I just started my class schedule and my bestie, Natalya, won't stop texting me on updates on how she is doing at Central Michigan.

I mean this in the nicest way, but who wants to hear how she brushed her teeth this morning with the "THE BEST TOOTHPASTE EVEA" I mean, she even texts me in how her breakfast was with every last detail , like she's writing a story or something.

Well, I'm completely confuzzled. So, I was at lunch with the rest of the squad when all of a sudden, Blake and his "crew" came over and sat with us. Without saying a word, they ate there lunches looking at each other with the weirdest look. I got up, and threw away everybody's lunches, as usual, and then Blake got up, too!! He came over to me, more of like huddling over top of me, and says " Hey, can we talk about what happened a week ago. Alone."
I was Ok with talking to Blake, but to me, what got to me the most was how he said "alone". He said it in more of a way that kind if saying 'I'm going to fire you and don't want to make a scene' look, you know what I mean.
"Ok, but what much is there really to talk about?"
" I just need to talk to you."
"Ok, let me just go tell the oth..."
"No! We need to go now!" He grabbed my arm and pulled me along, nobody even noticed.
We got outside of the side door when I dragged my feet.
"Where are we going?!" He checked his watch like I didn't say anything and dragged me along again.

We ended up at a janitors closet in the hall that only had one class, where everyone has make out session, including the teachers! He dragged me into the closet. My hands sweating and my legs trembling, I only feared for the worst.
" Ok, I need to know what happened last week."
"What are you talking about? All that happened was you helped carry my things to my room."
"No, not that. I mean the way you've been looking at me ever since. Like you know something."
"I have know idea what your talking about." My eyes quickly darted away from his.
" I know you like me."
"Yea as a fr..."
"No, you like me as more then friends."
"A little bit." I bit my lip in worry.

( Blakes POV)
"A little bit." Brooke said. She bit her lip making me nervous about what I was about to say next.
"Will you go out with me?" I quickly said it so she wouldn't be able to think about it.
"What! We have only known each other for two weeks?!"
"I really like you and don't want to be friend zoned."
"I guess."
"Please keep this a secret. If the guys find out we're dating, I'll be screwed because the newbies can't date anyone or else the person they're dating will be tortured."
"Ok, but this will be hard."
We walked out of the closet as quietly as we could. We ran back to our rooms 20 minutes before lunch ended.
"Come with me." I said, dragging her into my room. She plopped in the couch, trying to reach for the remote but realizing she was too short and lazy to get up and get the remote. I grabbed my laptop to get onto Netflix. All of a sudden I heard the door start to unlock. We were about to be caught!
