After school, Brandon waited outside Lisa's class. As Lisa was walking out from her class, Brandon immediately stopped her. Nate, who was leaving as well was concerned for Lisa when he saw Brandon.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Nate walked over towards Brandon and Lisa.
"It's none of your business. I need to ask Lisa something." Brandon answered.
"Well, it is my business considering Lisa's my friend."
Lisa, who was still surprised to see Brandon, decided to ask Nate to leave. "Nate, please, I'm fine. I'll catch up with you tomorrow."
"You sure?"
"Yeah. See ya." Lisa waved goodbye to Nate as he left them. Lisa turned her attention to Brandon in front of her. He looked very serious. Wonder what is wrong with him?
"You...You and Nate. Is there something?" Brandon asked her in a serious tone.
Lisa looked at him confusedly. "What? What are you saying here?"
"Don't play dumb with me. You like him don't you? I saw the both of you during lunchtime."
"We were just hanging out and eating lunch together Brandon! Why are you making a racket out of this? Amanda was with us too." Lisa answered in frustration. Why is Brandon pestering her over this? It's not like they are a couple.
"Yeah but she left."
"She left, and told me to talk with Nate. Why am I explaining myself to you?! We're not together you know."
"If you were really her best friend, you would follow her and make sure she stays okay. You're not supposed to stay and flirt around with her crush."
Lisa scoffed. She was really mad this time. "Do not accuse me of flirting when I did not! What is wrong with you?! Do you like me or something?!"
Brandon fell silent. He questioned himself as well. Why am I getting so angry about this? This has nothing to do with me.
"Brandon? Answer me. Why is this a big deal to you?" She crossed her arms over her chest. She wanted to know why. Or... does he really like me? Lisa's anger faded. She felt more of embarrassed.
Brandon ruffled his hair, feeling frustrated. "I'm leaving."
"Wait!" Lisa stopped him. "Aren't you gunna apologise?"
Brandon smirked. "I'm sorry." He said simply. He left her immediately.
Lisa was left puzzled. What is going on here?
Sommer's Residence
Brandon watched as his sister ran up the stairs. He heard her door shut. He went up the stairs slowly. He was feeling more and more moody. What is going on with this girl? She has been avoiding me for two days. I'm her brother for god's sake! She should be preparing lunch for me! Standing in front of Amanda's bedroom door, he thought for a while whether to knock or not.
"Screw this. I'm knocking." Brandon said to himself. 'Knock knock knock'.
"Yeah?" the voice behind the door answered.
"Let's have lunch doofus."
"No thanks, I'm not hungry."
Brandon knocked on her door again. "Get out of there wimp, come have lunch with me." Brandon waited for her reply. After a while he knocked again.
