The Boy Next Door

Chapter 4: Partners

[EDITED]

"This freakin' alarm clock!!!!" I shout banging the alarm clock hard against my pillow. Its just six in the morning. I drag myself out of my cozy bed and sway into the bathroom. I take a hot shower which is very relaxing; it soothes my entire aching body. I run my toothbrush over my teeth and stare back into the mirror.

I walk to my closet and put on a loose grey top with skinny denim jeans.

My stomach growls... and I discover that I'm pathetically, hungry."Ahh " I say to myself and stroll downstairs. A delicious smell reaches my nose. A thin trickle of drool leaks from the corner of my mouth. I follow the smell which leads me into the kitchen.

"Brook you are the best brother, ever!!! love you!!" I shout; hugging him, Brook's cooking pancakes. You won't believe me but Brook is the best chef in the whole world.

"Stop flattering, you can eat them, but first sit quitely like a good baby" Brook says.

"Aye aye Captain Brooklyn" I salute and he laughs. I sit at the table waiting for the delicious pancakes to be served.

"Take these" Brook passes me the plate.

"Only two" I frown

"Make yourself, I am getting late" Brook says.

"Okay" I roll my eyes.

He takes on his Jacket and walk out of the house and I follow him.

Hardly had I stepped out of my house when I saw Cruz coming out too.

"Hey Cruz long time" Brook pulls him into a manly hug. Brook knows that this person disgusts me than also he is being friendly with him.

"I missed you man" Cruz says in his sexy accent. I just give him death glares. But suddenly I see a bruise on his forehead.

"Hey what happened to your forehead?" Brook asked.

"Actually I was forced to go and see a retarted kid who just came out of an asylum but that kid gave me this bruise instead of a warm welcome" Cruz smirked at me and Brook burst into laughter.

"I am so sorry for that kid" I said sarcastically making him frown.

"You should be that kid really had a tough time" He snapped.

"Guys stop fighting, the bus is here" Brook interfered.

"You call this fighting? Than he is lucky I didn't smack his face" I rolled my eyes.

Cruz and I exchanged death glare's and walked into the bus. I pull out my earphones and start listening to the track 'We Don't Talk Anymore' by my fav singer Charlie.

I don't know if this song applies to me and Cruz's relation. Soon the bus stops in front of the school and we all start escaping the bus.

So let me check which is the first class. Woah its Chemistry, I love this subject *Note sarcasm*

Ding! Ding! I take out my phone, it was Emma's message.

I open the message to read it but then I realise that I am getting late for my class. I started walking towards the class my eyes still on the message which reads 'Good morning, I am just getting bore, whish you were here with me' suddenly I bang into someone.

"Ouch" I said.

"Can't you see" The boy shouted. I looked at him and he was Cruz. Ohh I hate these coincidences. He was looking at me like he would smack my face with his knuckles.

"I hate you" I snap

"Do you think I love you?" He snaped back.

"Stop fighting!" I hear someone yelling. Suddenly I realise we both are standing in front of the chemistry class and the whole lot of students laughing at us and teacher giving us death glares.

"You both are late" The teacher scolds.

"Sorry" we both say in unison looking at different directions.

"You both fight like married couple" someone shouts from back. I frown and can hear Cruz cursing me under his breath. We both take our seat.

"We all were discussing about the next project and you both are partners" the teacher exclaims. My eyes widen, how can I be partner with Cruz. Hell no!!

I look at Cruz who has a same expression as I.

"But why?" Cruz asks the teacher.

"Because you two are late and apparently every one has found themselves a partner" the teacher answers. Ohh god if I was a minute earlier I would have got a better partner. I was cursing my life under my breath. So now I have to do my Chemistry project with him.

The time passed as I tried my level best to ignore my new chemistry partner.

Finally the class is over. I flounce out of the class to the canteen to meet Brook. I don't know why but he called me in the middle of the lecture and said he has to tell me something important.

I enter the canteen and see brook moving to and fro impatiently, waiting for me.

"Brooky" I shout drawing his attention.

"Here you are blake, you know what!"he shouts excitingly.

"What?" I ask confused. I have never seen him so happy. Not even on my birthday that I unfortunately share with him.
