I kissed her. If you would've told middle school me that I would get the opportunity to kiss Breanna I would've told you to ease down on the cocaine. I couldn't erase the moment from my mind and here I was in my last class not giving anyone a piece of mind. She was exactly two classrooms down to the right and in precisely three minutes I would be able to feel her again.

"Mr.Bradford."

I looked toward the teacher that decided to interrupt my thinking, Ms.Keen. She was standing with her hand on her hip and all eyes were now on me.

"When you'd like to rejoin my class, could you tell me what x is?"

I didn't even take a full glance at the bored before responding.

"X is a letter in the alphabet. You know the one between W and Y."

With that the bell rung and I was out the door, leaving behind a very angry teacher and a room of laughing peers. I guess it was funny, but what really mattered was the gorgeous girl that just now emerged from her classroom. It didn't take long before the two of us caught eye contact and just like that she had me. Her simple smile sent vibrations throughout my body that could keep going for years! I needed to feel her touch, so I began walking towards her immediately wrapping an arm around her waist. Feeling her arms wrap themselves around my neck made me smile.

"What's got you so happy Bradford?"

"Umm, I don't know, I've just got a beautiful girl in my arms. No biggie."

A giggle left her lips and she lifted herself on the tips of her toes, planting a kiss on the corner of my mouth, but I didn't let her pull back I took my chance and captured her lips with mine. Like once before there was that spark, the feel of her lips against mine ignited a fire within me and I was now burning with passion. For her.

"Come on, you've got practice."

"So do you."

"But my coach isn't going to make me bear crawl the whole field if I'm late."

She had a point, doesn't matter what the excuse was Coach would make me bear crawl. So taking her had we walked to the gym together and parted our ways going into the separate locker rooms. The moment I enter the locker room the team goes wild. They're screaming, hollering, and clapping.

"My man Chase finally grew a pair!"

"Got him a dime piece!"

They all shouted different things at me and I couldn't help, but just life. Man I love my brother, but they some fools.

"Are you all forgetting this girl was Ms. Nerd Herd."

Like always, when I'm having a good moment Luke and his dumb self got to come in an ruin it.

"So! She still look better than your girl."

Marco, who never really spoke when Luke was on his dumb sh*t,  said. When he said that the whole room started laughing, hell I did too. It was true! The only person who didn't laugh was Luke, he just sat there looking at Marco huffing and puffing like he was going to go do something.

"Calm down doggie, all jokes."

I threw a smirk at Luke who was now red faced, but who cares. I for one didn't so I got my gear on and left. I wasn't getting bear crawls for this idiot.

When practice ended I was immediately cornered by my teammates. They were blasting questions at me left and right, it was like I was in an episode of Law & Order being questioned by Elliot Stabler.

"You guys!"

I yelled getting them to shut up.

"One, Chase and I haven't done the deed. Two, no, he's not with Lauren, never was. And three, I don't know what we are."

I said the last part in a sort of whisper, because now I too was questioning some things. I wanted to just go along with things and let time reveal the answers.

"Girl, who says you two aren't dating? He may not have asked you properly yet, but the school knows you're his girl."

"She's right chica, you might as well write 'Chase Bradford' all over you."

Everyone laughed at that one. It was ?in a way, true. Both Chase and I were already perceived as a couple, so why weren't we one? Should we make it official or was it too soon?

"I don't know you guys, it we'll see."

They all did their little sassy 'mmm-hmm' and walked off, leaving with me with Brooke. She had a smile on her face, but I could tell from a mile away she was not okay.

"What's up?"

I asked as I got my things together. She only shrugged, but quickly held up her hand knowing I was going to blow up on her. She knew if she played games with me I'd pop off.

"Remember when I came to your house crying like a damn baby?"

"Brooke stop."

"It's true!"

"Get back on topic."

"Fine. Well my brother may be coming back."

I gasped at this. For years Brooke's brother hasn't come now and he comes home when something serious was going to happen, last time it was the ISIS bombing and now what could it be now?
