The Brooks Boys

Chapter Seven

I'm finally home after my long day at the neighbours house. I like them and I hope me and Autumn can be good friends. Autumn? No I meant April. I haven't spoken to Autumn today. I walk towards the night stand and check my phone. She hasn't texted me. I'll text her. I'm not sure whether i'm going to tell her about the boys today. She was and still is my best friend but she's not all that good at keeping secrets. And if I tell her I know theres no doubt that Troye will find out. I know were not together but I hope one day we can be, again. I just don't want him to think that I've moved on too quickly and forgot about him. I loved him and he loved me. I can't just forget about him what we had because I kissed someone today.

Beau didn't talk to me for the rest of the day at Aprils. I knew he was upset because of my new arrogant pig of a 'boyfriend' but, there wasn't much that I could do. It's only for a week, it's harmless really. After next sunday we can all forget about it. I wish I could speak to him now. I have his number but I don't think I should call. I know Luke will probably be with him and know that I called Beau. Then Luke would probably tell Jai and I really don't want to face public humiliation. Especially not in the first week of school.

School! I have school tomorrow. I completely forgot. April said she would meet me tomorrow morning so we can meet the boys at school together.

Theres not much that I need to get ready really. But i'm still quite nervous. I have already made three friends and a boyfriend/enemy so I should be fine. Shouldn't I?

"Eleanor!" I hear my dad call from downstairs.

I run down to see what he wants.

"Have you got everything ready for school dear?"

"Yeah I have."

"Are you sure you don't want a lift to school tomorrow."

"Yes, i'm sure i'm meeting April and the boys tomorrow before school." Oh no. I forgot I didn't tell them that Aprils friends were boys. I just said that they were nice and we played some fun games.

"Boys?" My dad says tilting his head downwards, so he can look over his glasses.

"Yeah, erm, Aprils friends. They were boys, in my year." thats all i'm saying. I not telling them about the game we played and i'm definitely not telling them that I kissed a boy that I hardly know in their bathroom. Or that i'm now going out with his brother for a joke. Wow. Maybe Jai is right, maybe I am a slut. I giggle and remember what he said today. I look up and my dad is starring at me.

"What is so funny? Because I don't think you playing with boys all day is funny." I know he is joking now, but if he ever found out about what I really did then i'd have to go grave stone shopping for Beau and I.

"Oh nothing, just remembering something that Autumn said to me before I left." I lie.

"Okay. And how is Autumn? Did she speak to you today?"

"No, for some odd reason. She said she'd text me every day."

"Oh thats peculiar." It is isn't it. I nod and yawn.

"I think it's time for bed now. It's ten O'clock." My mother says. She has been sitting there all this time just starring at me.

"Okay, good night."

I make my way upstairs and wonder why she hasn't texted me. I'll call her tomorrow. When the time appropriate for both of us.

I lay in bed for a while thinking about tomorrow. I want to speak to Beau but I don't think he wants to speak to me. What does he expect me to do?

At that moment my phone starts to ring. I think it might be Autumn or Beau. I really hope its Beau. I get up and run to my phone.

I look at the screen and there it is. Jai's name and number spread across the screen. I almost forgot that he gave me his number after he agreed to the dare. I answer it.

"Ermm, hey Eleanor." He says awkwardly.

"Hi Jai."

"The boys made me phone you so..."

"Okay, erm, how are you?" this is the awkwardest phone call i've ever been through in my life.

"I'm good. How are you?" He raises his voice above the noise around him. I can hear people shouting things in the background. "Babe." he adds.

"I'm okay, just really tired."

"Okay, i'll go then and let you sleep." the people in the background are now shouting louder.

"Okay bye." I say and hang up.

If we can't get through a one minute phone call, then I really don't know how we're going to get through the whole week of pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend.

I look at the time, it's half past ten. I better go to bed, I don't want to be late for my first day at my new school.
