Unexplained

Finding courage

Pacing back and forth in Brandis apartment wondering if Julian would go out with me!, was normal for me and Brandi lying down watching me was her usual.

Saying things like "ya know if you want her to like you just be yourself." Me being a smart ass replied " nobody would love a asshole who is talkative! "

Brandi then goes on about all the good things about me, making me blush even! Thinking of how I actually did all those things but I can't make Julian see those things.

My loyalty and commitment or my honor In people I love, but Brandi made it simple and sweet "if she wants you she wants you if not then that's fine"
"You'll always mean something to someone regardless of you know it or not"

I would smile and think about all the things I had with Julian's presence near by and if she liked it or not!

But she smiles allot and laughs at my jokes, and pays attention no matter how many times I share my journal in class and she would give me her all!

Someone I admired from afar actually takes the time too listen,but so did many other girls! And none of them had a reason too hate me and just listened as well as Julian!

I can't figure out if it's normal or I have a chance!

I then Dropped in Brandi's bed and sighed

Huhhhhhhhhhhhh...
Brandi?

"Yes Ben! She glared at her phone *playing a game waiting for my question?*

How can I tell if she likes me?

*brandi puts phone down!

She then says aloud
- I can't tell you for sure but the effort she puts in you is a reflection of how she feels!
Most girls like what they can relate too or what appeals in the sense of appearance!
Your odds are slim but show her the determination you show during practice and that appeal will get higher!

I got up*** and started laughing and said

I can't believe you went from my sweet friend right back to my teacher and attempted to make me show up more

Brandi started laughing
And said No 3 days out of 7 is well enough for me to handle
I'm tryna say show passion instead of being the academic robot show you love what you are doing!
Self expression would work,like write a cute song or practice telling people how you feel!

You can start with me!?

*my blank stare said everything*

Then suddenly
It hit me!!!!!

Brandi you're the sister I've wanted but never had, you help me so much and I look up too you as my sister you have a weird love or affection it's shown through the most simple things!
Thank you....I'm not sure what I'd be doing without you!

Brandi then hugged me........
It's rare but probably one of the best she then whispered in my ear
*don't get use too it Ben,I'm still making you my punching bad tomorrow!

That loving warm hug got tighter and felt like a dark void surrounded me.... I'm calling this her love for now!

Chris p.o.v (prepping for Brandi)

My usual,clean and crisp with spiky hair and now for my first set
Chris hits the ground and starts push ups. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8 phone rings****** 9-10 ahhh who could be calling 11-12 *reads caller ID hmmm it's Ben -14-15-16
Phone stops ringing 18-19-20-21-22 phone rings again
Reads caller ID "BRANDI"
23 and forward roll....
in the matter of seconds the phone was answered!
Hello...... suddenly Ben says *typical Chris! Brandi then says Chris we are outside your house let us in.... before I kick down the door it's cold!
Fuck such horrible timing Chris opens the door in his workout clothes and no shoes, Brandi punches him in the stomach and says
* Looking better tree man!
Honestly I'm fine with that it's cute,as long as she loves it!
Then I felt the punch and took a step back Ben then walks in and taps my stomach and says
*keep at it just don't make her catch you and you're shrine of BRANDI!
