Confident

3- Sparks

Brooklyn watched as the trees whizzed past as Brandon drove them to school. She was aware that Brandon was talking, but her concentration wasn't on him.

"Hey." Brandon gently poked Brooklyn and she looked at him. "You alright?"

"Fine," Brooklyn smiled.

"You sure?" Brandon frowned. "Is it to do with Harry? Why was he with you last night-"

"I'm fine," she said. "I just have a lot on my mind today."

"Do you want to talk about-" Brandon stopped talking when Brooklyn shook her head.

"I want to forget about it," Brooklyn said stiffly and Brandon nodded in understanding.

"Well, you've got the wonders of school to look forward too," he said sarcastically and Brooklyn chuckled as he drove into the school car park.

"Thanks for the lift," Brooklyn smiled.

"Do you need me to accompany you to your first class?"

"Alice said she'll meet me by my locker," Brooklyn said. "We have bio together."

"Cool," Brandon nodded and Brooklyn got out of the car. She walked into school and mentally high fived herself when she remembered the way to her locker. Alice was leaning against Brooklyn's locker, looking at her phone and chewing a piece of gum.

"Hi," Brooklyn greeted and Alice looked up with a bright smile.

"Hey, you ready to dissect some frogs?" Alice said cheerily. "I wish we got to do that, but all we really do in bio is answer questions out of text books."

"Sounds fun," Brooklyn said sarcastically.

"And the fact that my brother is in the class makes it even better," Alice said and rolled her eyes.

"I spoke to him yesterday, he doesn't seem that bad," Brooklyn said.

"Just wait," Alice said. "The toe rag will start to grate on you."

Brooklyn chuckled and the two girls made their way to their first lesson. "I spoke to Harry last night," Brooklyn said quietly and Alice's eyebrows shot up.

"Last night?" She questioned as Sasha joined the pair on their way to their class.

"Brooke was with Harry last night," Alice said immediately and Sasha looked at Brooklyn curiously.

"Last night?" She said.

"I wasn't with him," Brooklyn said. "I bumped into him. Literally."

"What happened?" Sasha asked eagerly as the three girls walked into their class and took their seats.

"I... He... He walked me home," Brooklyn said. "Well... Ran me home. I was out for a jog."

"And you just had to go and make us look bad by being active," Alice pouted and Brooklyn laughed.

"He walked you home? You mean he offered?"

"Not exactly," Brooklyn said. "He didn't give me a choice."

Sasha pursed her lips. "Interesting," she murmured. "He doesn't really bother with girls to be honest, you'd be a first."

"Well, he's not really bothering with me," Brooklyn said. "He's seems like a bit of an ass actually."

"Do you like him?" Sasha wondered.

"I just called him an ass."

"Looks wise?" Alice questioned and Brooklyn shrugged, smiling sheepishly.
