I dropped down on the chair next to my brother with a wide grin on my face. The boys and I were seated on our usual table in the cafeteria.

"What got you smiling so much, Brooke?", asked Bastian who was sitting opposite to me. Collin looked at me for a second before a wide grin spread over his face. "The question's not what, Bastian, it's who?"

I threw a mischievous grin over to Collin. The young boy knew me too well already. "Who?", asked Joel irritated. It wasn't unusual that I was with someone but they usually didn't make my smile grow that large. But Lilian did.

When we were done yesterday with talking about the play we started to watch movie after movie. We ignored the fact that we should have gone to bed since we had school today but instead didn't want to break the comfortable state we were in.

We were sitting on her couch, eyes fixed on the TV and even though we didn't talk much it was great. I didn't really concentrate on the movie but on her and I could see her tense a few times when my gaze dropped to her body. I was not stupid. I could see that she wasn't used to be seen this way by a girl and much less seeing a girl that way herself.

But I could also sense that she wasn't completely reluctant to the idea of being with a girl or me in that case.

"Is it Lilian?", Collin asked, his blue eyes shining with excitement. I broke out from my thoughts at his question.

"She's not even gay", muttered Boston next to me. I threw a mischievous smile at him. "Well, in that case that is changeable."

"No, she was with Karter for three years", Boston said, his voice turning grouchy.

"That doesn't mean she can't like girls as well", I responded turning annoyed. I could see her staring at me, dammit, I even FELT it. She got nervous around me and I could see her getting tense when we accidently touched. Why was he trying to talk her out of my mind?

"I just don't like the rumors about her", he says, now putting his fork down to give me his full attention. There was sternness in his eyes that I didn't understand. What was his problem?

"Rumors? You got to be kidding me. Out of all people YOU should now that rumors are nothing more than that. Rumors." I was angry now. I just didn't get what he had against Lilian. She was nice and not a big thing in this school so what was he even talking about.

"I just think, you should stay away from her and not be with her", he said angrily. His voice was quiet so no-one from the tables around us could hear but it made him sound threatening and then I realized. He didn't want anyone to hear. 

How could he. What was wrong with him to think this way?

I quickly stood up too angry with him to keep sitting on the table.

"You sure this isn't about the fact that you think the same way like mom does?", I kept my voice as low as his. Venom dropping off of my lips with every word. Anger flood through my veins and also disappointment but the rage was stronger. I turned around and walked out of the cafeteria angrily. "Asshole move, man", I heard Bastian before I was too far away to hear them anymore.

I left the main hall and went into a side floor where I was alone. I huffed and leaned on one of the cool walls, letting my head drop back against it and closing my eyes. How could he think about me like this? I thought I left this behind with my mom. Why do they care so much about me being with girls except boys?

And then the disappointment kicked in. He was my brother. My twin brother. I thought he would understand. How comes this was the first time he mentioned something like this? How did I not know that he disliked me being gay?

"Are you okay?", suddenly a soft voice asked and I pulled my head back into its normal position, looking at the beautiful girl in front of me. When I didn't answer her and just kept staring, she seemed to get nervous. "I saw you coming out of the cafeteria and you looked angry, so I thought I should maybe check on you", her gaze dropped to the floor.

Lilian looked so cute standing in front of me all shy like that. I have watched her the past one and a half week, she wasn't much of a shy person usually. Only around me.

Without thinking I took the few steps between us so I was standing right in front of her. She lifted up her head when she realized how close I was and right that second my lips lay on hers.

The first thing I noticed was how soft her lips felt on mine and the tingling feeling that ran through my whole body when I kissed her. The second thing was her smell filling my nostrils. She smelled of flowers with a bit of honey. Very floral but not too much. And the third thing I noticed brought me back from the little heaven I was in. She tensed. Instead of kissing me back she tensed even though she didn't pull back.

But when she didn't, I did. I quickly pulled back with the urge of heavily face palming myself. I was so stupid. What was wrong with me? I didn't think about it, it just happened out of the rage I was in. I just did it in defiance of my brothers opinion on me not dating girls. She wasn't ready for it but I did it still. Ughh, why are you so stupid, Brooke.

My eyes met her blue ones that looked shocked and out of concept. "Sorry, I shouldn't have done that, that was too early, you weren't ready." I didn't hide the fact that I indeed wanted to kiss her but not just yet.

She looked at me stunned and before she could say anything I turned around and went away quickly.

Wow I seemed to like running from people today.
