Young love

Chapter 2

-----------

Russ's POV

The last bell of the day. Finally! I can't wait to get home! I need to call my parents and make sure everything was ok with Todd, my younger brother who was 9.

I ran to my locker and quickly grabbed my things. I nearly sprinted to Chase's locker so that we get get back to the house. I was spending the week with her after all.

"Come on Chase! Move your booty! I want to get home."

"Wow! Chill Russ! What's the rush?" she said.

"I want to call my parents to see how Todd is doing."

"Oh, yeah. I sure hope he's okay!" She exclaimed. My brother used to have a crush on her until he found out I did. Now he only thinks of her as a mom or a sister.

What? Oh, you didn't know? Yes, I have a crush on Chase. But she has a crush on that jerk Noah. What does she see in him? He's a player! He's been with like, 5 girls this month then left them all crying. I couldn't stand it if Chase dated him!

"Russ. Russ. Russ. Snap out of it man or we'll have to walk home!" Chase yelled at me snapping me back into reality:

"Oh, yeah. Sorry. lets go."

----------

"Chase, I have to go pack my things. Can you come with me?"

"Sure," she said.

We got off at my house and went up to my room. I quickly packed up my things and we went over to her house.

"Hey mom!" Said Chase. "Russ's parents are at the hospital with Todd. Don't worry, he's doing fine. We called his parents when we got home. Anyways, Russ is going to stay with us until they get back. Is that ok?"

"Sure honey," Chase's mom said. "I hope he gets better soon! I have a meeting tonight and I'll be gone until tomorrow. You kids can order pizza. There's some money on the kitchen table. I don't trust you guys with my kitchen."

Feeling the love.

"Ok, bye." We both said giving Chase's mom a hug.

Chase's POV

After eating the pizza we got ready for bed. The heater must have not been working because it was super cold!

I threw on a sweatshirt and pajama pants instead of shorts.

"It's so freaking cold!" yelled Russ from the guest room.

I went to where he was. "I know! I don't know why though."

"Can I sleep with you?" he asked.

No, not like that you dirty minded people. We have done this so much it wasn't even awkward.

"Sure, but in my room. It's a little warmer in there."

I jumped in my bed and he crawled in too. I turned my back to him and he put his arm around me. Aw, so cozy! I snuggled up against him and we pulled the blankets up as much as we could.

When he thought I was asleep he whispered, "Chase, you're the best friend I could ask for."

I whispered, "Right back at you big boy."

"Do you still like Noah?" he asked.

Why did he care?

"Um, yes. Why?" I answered.

"You know he's a player right?" He said attacking my sweet Noah.

"No he isn't!" I yelled.

"No, he used to be my best friend until he broke my cousin's heart! He's been with about 5 girls this month!" He said.

"I don't believe you!"

"You know what. Forget I said anything. I'm sorry Chase! I just don't want you to get hurt." He said.

"It's okay. You're still my best friend Russ." I assured him snuggling closer to him. He kissed my cheek and we both fell asleep.

------------

We woke up and went to school. But instead of getting up at 6:30 we got up at 6 so that we would both have plenty of time to get ready.

I decided to straighten my hair today and let it lay down. It was starting to get chilly outside. I threw on my leggings, combat boots, and a high-low long-sleeved sweater.

I put in my ring I wear everyday. My dad gave it to me the day before he went to the army. My dad was a solider. He died about 7 months ago.

I came to the kitchen and made toast for me and Russ.

"Smells good!" He said coming down the stairs with his spiky light brown hair and brown eyes looking into mine. I can't believe he was single!

"Thanks! I spent hours on it can't ya tell?" I said jokingly.

He smirked and wrapped me in a hug before the bus came up.

----------

I jumped out of the bus and sprinted to my locker. The bus got to school late! I had five minuets to get my books and go to first period!

I turned the corner walking. Somehow I had 3 minuets left. I looked up and saw my worst nightmare. Noah was making out with Marian, a total boy magnet she's dated so many guys, I can't even count them. And that was just this month.

"What the!" I yelled. Breaking them apart. Noah smirked.

"Wanna join?" He asked. I looked in shock. I could almost feel the tears running over.

"No! You're a jerk!" I yelled and ran to my first class.

Oooh, twist! What did y'all think? Should Russ and Chase make a good couple. Sorry this chapter was so long.
