The Boy Next Door

Chapter 7: The Photo's

[EDITED]

"Its morning!!!!" someone shouted in my ears.

"What the hell, I need to sleep" I shouted placing a pillow over my ears but suddenly I felt a pair of strong sinewy arms shaking me. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Brook.

"Are you mad??" I chucked a pillow at him.

"Ohh Jesus! Thank god you are alive, I thought you were probably dead; trapped somewhere.." Brook said sarcastically.

"Let me sleep.." I groaned at him.

"Blake dear, its already eight and we have missed our school bus" Brook said in a very calm tone.

"Ohh shit why didn't you wake me up before, I am freakin' late!!!!" I sprang up;

"You girls are weird" Brook rolled his eyes. 

I dragged myself out of my cozy bed and slogged to the bathroom.

"I am ready; lets go" I said as I walked downstairs.

"What in Hades took you so long to get ready??" He demanded.

"Lets go; its a twenty minutes walk from here" I said realising it was not his fault.

"Wait a second, who said we were walking?" Brook asked.

"We don't have any other option, do we, smarty pants?" I shrug

"Girl I. will. not walk for freckin twenty minutes, we are going by my bike" He said showing me the keys.

"Are you stupid!! I don't want to die this early, I am just 17, I have my whole life waiting for me!!!" I shouted.

"If you wanna walk you can..." Brook smirks as he locks the house and starts his bike.

"I will come on one condition" I smirked.

"And what's that?" He raised his eyebrows.

"You have to let me; drive." I smirked.

"Are you stupid!! I don't want to die this early, I am just 17, I have my whole life waiting for me" he said in a girly voice repeating my tone.

I rolled my eyes.

"Listen sit or I will go" He says firmly.

"Okay okay" I say sitting behind him.

"We will be there in five minutes" he said looking at his watch.

"Hell no its a ten minutes drive, please for god's sake don't drive fast" I say but its too late he had already raised the speed.

'I hate bike's, they make my hair look worse' I say to myself adjusting my hair.

Suddenly I feel a jolt.

"Hold me tight" Brook say's 

"I told you not to drive fast" I shout.

"Don't shout in my ears" he say.

"As I said, exactly five minutes" He says as he pulls the bike into the parking. There are some girls and Cheerleaders standing near the parking . They suddenly start giving me death glares thinking I am Brook's girlfriend as I was holding him too tight, but that was just for my safety. Maybe they don't know I am his twin. Brook parks the bike and starts looking at his mobile.

To make them more jealous I plan a trick on them. I move closer to Brook 

And plant a kiss on his cheek. "Love you brook" I say loud so that they can hear.

I saw them cursing me under their breaths. I whisper in his ears, "those girls are giving me death glares thinking I am your girlfriend"

"Love you too" he said smirking, his eyes still on mobile.

"You are getting late come on lets go inside" I said.

"I will be there in a moment I have to meet my coach first" he replied. I rush inside the the school to my locker. I check my schedule for Monday: Physics, Mathematics, English, Geography and French.

I check my watch to see I am already ten minutes late for the physics class. I run towards my class and stop on the door catching my breath.

"May I come in" I ask.

"Yes take your seat" Miss Mary says.

I am shocked to see her calm. She did not shout at me because I was ten minutes late. Weird! I know.

I look at the class and see their are only few students present. Cruz is sitting at the middle bench and Jasper at the first similing at me. I see Cruz staring me. I sit beside Jasper giving back his smile.

Soon the period gets over. All the students rush towards the door.

I am still sitting as Jasper wants to say something.

"Jasper what you wanna say?" I ask.

"Uhm actually I wanna tell you-" Jasper starts but is cut off ,"I want to talk to you" Cruz firmly says cutting Jasper. I see him standing in front of my desk. His hands are leaning on the desk.

"Can't you see I am already talking" I say. 

"Its okay, I will tell you later" Jasper says as he grabs his bag and walks out of the room.

"I don't wanna talk to you" I say folding my arms to my chest and leaning back at the chair.

"You should not sneak in someone's house" He yells.

"I have to when my neighbours are making weird sounds and disturbing their neighbours" I yell back.

"You are impossible" he says and walks out. 

Cruz has changed alot. He is not the same Cruz I used to know. I don't know he has changed in a good way or a bad way, but still I hate him for what all he did.

****

Finally the school is over and I am back home.

I slip inside my blanket and start looking at my laptop. 

Today was a boring day. Monday is always boring. Brook is not at home as he had to stay after school for the practices. 

I was looking at my old photos. And my thoughts, swim inside the numb fluid flooding my brain... bringing back millions of memories...
