Open Hands~ Bryles

Chapter 28- The talk

A/N : May include some crude humour , I'm mainly writing this because I got called frigid for not having sex by age 14 wtf 😂😂
Briar's POV
The next Monday I wake up slightly later than usual, feeling completely drained from the dancing and relentless homework I had been set to do. My stomach is in knots and my head is pounding, I feel as if I would throw up. So I run to the bathroom and retch over the toilet, nothing coming out except sound.
I then go to the loo when I realise what caused all this: my period. Great.

I groan just thinking about the prospect of going to school and sitting through 6 hours of hell, surrounded by imbeciles. But nevertheless I drag myself to get dressed, take painkillers and eat breakfast. Whilst I eat I take out my phone, it was already 8:30.
Myles would be here soon.
Ironically just as the thought track enters my mind, my boyfriend sends me a text;

'Morning babe. My car has broken down so I've had to walk to school, sorry I can't pick you up. Love you 😘xx'
School starts at 8:45, allowing me 15 minutes to trek a 20 minute journey, and today of all days was a day I didn't want to run.

When I arrive at school I notice my tutor facing the opposite direction to my seat, giving me the perfect opportunity to sneak in. I silently step to my chair and sit down, relieved that I didn't get caught. Myles smiles and kisses my cheek.

"MISSSSS! Briar's lateeeeee!!" Whines one of the slaggy bitches; Shanel. I was not taking her shit today.
"MISSSS! Shanel's a slut!" I copy her tone, earning some 'oooh's. Myles starts to snigger as well as Jessy; Devon however was absolutely pissing himself.
"At least I can get boys." She hisses.
"And at least I can keep boys for longer than 4 hours." I retort.
"Oh yeah? Like who? You're frigid."

This whole argument started to get heated and I was not letting Shanel get one up on me; our tutor however, was just laid back and didn't intervene.
"Myles, actually." I fold my arms smugly.
"You and Myles?" Shanel raises an eyebrows.
"Yeah. But you were clearly too blind to notice, probably because you've got too many dicks shoved in your gob. That explains why all I ever hear is crap coming from your mouth." Jessy intercepts, I'm taken aback by her outburst and crude humour; as is Shanel who is in shock.

Myles slings his arm around me, both of us almost crying with laughter at Jessy.
"SAVAGEEEE Jess. You're such a g." Devon fist bumps her.
I glance over at Shanel who is still struggling to find the right words to express her anger, in the end she huffs and turns away.
Only then I realised that the whole tutor group had heard the argument, but more importantly; had heard about Myles and I. This would definitely be all around the school by lunchtime, I would just have to suck it up.
~~~~~
I was the first to leave form time, ahead of all the other students. I hear footsteps break out into a slight jog and soon feel and hand in mine; Myles stood there- a playful smirk on his face.
"What got into you?" He asked.
Devon, overhearing the conversation- very rudely said:
"You certainly didn't." Before slapping him on the back and laughing.

"Can you stop being so obsessed with sex Devon? It's not like you're getting any." I snap, pulling my hand away from Myles'.
"Yeah, but it's not like he's getting any either by the looks of it." Dev laughs, in that moment I honestly wanted to slap the smirk off his face.
"What did I say? Frigid." Shanel brushes past, her eyes cold but mouth upturned into a sweetly sarcastic smile.
"At least I don't have a fucking STD." I feel the heat rising in me and run out of the block, taking a turn into the toilet instead of my Chemistry lesson.
~~~~~

I had bunked off a few lessons, making my attendance in school obvious by showing up for class; but then leaving with a toilet pass and not returning. I was in an incredibly bad mood and wasn't thinking about consequences, it's easy to get angry with messed up hormones. I seriously needed to talk to Myles, I was completely done with this whole 'frigid' thing. The world is so sex crazed these days and I don't understand it, and plus- I'm a dancer, I don't want a disease or baby hindering my career.
I pull out my phone and text Myles.

'I'm actually fed up of this. We need to talk about sex because I can't handle people calling me names. I'll meet you at your car after school.'

Myles' POV
Midway through History, my phone beeps vigorously in my pocket- signally a text. I glance at the contact name; ' Queen Baby B👸🏼😍👑'. Immediately I pull out my mobile and just when I start to read the message, my teacher snatches it out of my hand and starts reading it.
"Oi! That's private!" I exclaim and attempt to retrieve my phone.
"Myles! Outside now!" He shouts. Damn I'm in deep shit.

"It's illegal to take the property of a student without their permission!" I whine.
"So is having sex at your age." He waves my phone infront of me, letting me steal a glance at the message I had not properly read.
"Actually. It's not. I'm 16."
Sir carries on lecturing me on sex and how I shouldn't do it, despite me telling him the whole text is about not having sexual relations. He then sets me a lunchtime detention for phones out in class and possible sex.
"Fuck thatttt." I sigh, barely audible but loud enough for my teacher to then upgrade my punishment to an after school. He doesn't give me my phone back, meaning I wouldn't be able to tell Briar; I'd have to find her- which was a problem because our school was massive.

When I finally leave the class, I stumble upon Jessy;
"Hey. Jess. You were in B's last class weren't you? Where is she?"
She explains that Briar went to the toilet but never returned, giving me an idea that she was probably in the English toilets. I thank Bri's best friend and speed off in the direction of the language block. Soon enough, I see a petite blonde girl stroll out of the toilets, keeping her head down. I catch up with her and tell her to come with me to the car park so we can finally talk.

When we arrive, I unlock Devon's car door which he lent me the keys to and offer her a seat so we could talk in private.
"My fucking teacher saw your text." I complain, immediately her face drops.
"Okay. We need to talk about this, it's driving me crazy." Briar says urgently.
"Do you want to have sex with me? That's not an offer; I just need to know if you're ready." She continues.

"I'm ready when you are B. I don't want to rush anything or ruin our careers as dancers."
She sighs and leans against the car window.
"Don't say that. I wanted to know if YOU were ready, even though you were being considerate by saying I'm ready when you are'."
"Well I don't think we're at a point in our relationship to be having sex, it's been less than half a year. Even though some may say that a few weeks are enough. But we're mature, we think about consequences. But maybe a few months down the line I'd reconsider and think 'yeah. I'm ready.'"

She nods at my solid answer and speaks her mind.
"Yeah. Not now. But definitely sometime in the future- whether that's in a few months or a few years.
I just can't take these people judging me."
Briar looked so pretty sat there with a few stray hairs planted on her forehead, despite the fact that she was wallowing in pity- she was the most gorgeous girl in the world.

I take her hand in mine, causing her to sit up, cautiously looking at me.
"Briar. There are millions of girls who would kill to look like you, dance like you. And I bet there are millions of boys who would do the same to be in my position, dating a beautiful girl who can dance insanely well- with a gorgeous face, body and personality."
She smiles with her mouth, but you could tell her eyes were doubtful.

'Trust me. I love you more than anything." I place a soft kiss on her lips before getting caught by the same fucking teacher who read Briar's message- placing my girlfriend in a detention too.
