Chapter 11

WHAT WAS I GOING TO WEAR?!?!? 

"Brooke, what's wrong with  you? Are you NUTS?!? just put on a tshirt and some jeans and go!" I told my self, yelling and waking around my room. 

I really was going crazy. Talking to myself like that. 

I opened my double door-walk in closet. As soon as I stepped in, the motion sensor lights lit up, illuminating the closet and making entire rows of clothes visible. 

I loved my closet. It was pristine, and I had just about any type of clothing available. From tops to t shirts to cardigans to  ponchos!! I had two whole shelves of shoes, any kind. 

And the purses, oh the purses! That was my favorite part of my closet. I walked over to the back corner of the closet and found racks of the most expensive purses. Coach, Fossil, Frada, Louis Vitton, Chanel, and Gucci! 

Let's see.....

Examining each and every one of them, I picked out something not too fancy. A navy blue fossil purse. It was studded with tiny diamonds all over, and so it made it look like the whole purse was showered in glitter. 

Then, I picked out some dark blue skinny jeans, along with a light green three-tierd top , and slipped on my flat flats. 

I walked over to the bathroom, and re-did my makeup, to something that looked somwhere between "I don't care" and "I'm a supermodel" 

I applied some mascara, and some light eyeliner that made my violet eyes pop. 

There. 

Giving myself a final look in the mirror, I was satisfied. It wasn't too over the top, and it looked like I had just put something on. 

I grabbed my wallet and my phone, sliding both of them in my purse. I also grabbed my backpack as I walked out of the door. 

I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. 

"hey Connie?" 

"yeah, hon, need anything more to eat?" 

"no, I just wanted to let you know that my frien--algebra partner is coming to pick me up. I'm going to work on my project with him, so I'll be home in a couple of hours ok?" 

"ok sure, but just be back before dinner" she said, with a nod. 

"don't worry, connie" I assured her, just as the doorbell rang. 

I looked at the time. Exactly 10 minutes had passed. Wow, he was right on time. 

I Connie accompanied me to the door, opening it for me. 

Standing there was nick, standing upright and rubbing his palms on his hands, looking at his feet. 

As soon as we opened the door, his head snapped up, and his eyes locking with mine. I looked at my feet, not knowing what to say. 

"N-N-Nick? Nicolas Walker? Is that really you?" 

Connie stuttered in surprise, smiling widely. 

Wait, had she forgotten? Why was she so friendly towards him? she was supposed to be the lean, mean, Kick-Nick-out-of-the-house machine. 

"hi Ms. Connie, long time no see"  he replied politely, his voice quivering. Ha, that's right, fear the wrath of the great Connie. 

"my, my, it HAS been a long time" she replied, clearly still taken aback. her eyes shine with confusion as they darted back and forth between me and him. 

Looks like her wrath has died down over the past three years. 

"how are you?" he asked. 

"oh, same old, same old" she replied with a wave of her hand. "and you? How've you been?" 

"good, I made the basketball team captain this tear, so Im really excited for the season to start" he replied. 

I scoffed. Just like him to bring up his sports and show off about it to a person he hadn't seen for three years. Could he get any more obnoxious? 

"oh,  well that's good! Good job! Do you want to come in? Maybe I can whip up some---" 

"no he's fine, " I interjected. No way was that scumbag coming into my house ever again.  If Connie wasn't going  to keep him out of the house, I was. 

Oh, I can't wait for this project to be over. 

"hi Brooke," nick said, shifting his gaze to me, smiling one of his killer smiles. 

Like that was going to work. 

His crystal blue eyes locked with mine, and it seemed like time froze. I got those familiar tingles down my spine again, and I stared into those eyes that I could live in forever. 

No, snap out of it, Brooke! I told myself. 

I jerked out of my trance and picked up my Backpack which seemed to have slid on the floor while I was dumbfounded. 

I looked up at him again, to see that his expression mirrored mine, showing surprise and, well, just surprise. 

"hey nick, ready to go?" I asked him. 

He seemed to snap out of his thoughts as he foucused his attention toward me. 

"wha--?" 

"I said, ready to go? We have a lot of work to do" I asked, putting my hands on my hips. 

"y-yeah, sure. Nice seeing you, ms. Connie" he said, turning around. 

"you too, sweetie" Connie said, with a wave, before disappearing into the house. 

I got into his car, dumping my backpack and purse into the back seat. 

nick slid into his seat and pulled out of the driveway and onto the main road. 

That's when I realized where I was REALLY going.
