you're cute ➳ brent rivera + brad simpson

CHAPTER 6

Sophia is starting to get less annoying now. I guess I could be friends with her considering the fact that she's the only one who's spoken to me (excluding Brent). She invited me over to her table at lunch and I actually felt kind of wanted.

"Are those Brent rumours true about you?" Sophia questioned. I looked up, shocked that she could even ask me something like that.

"Brent's my neighbour, I didn't follow him to school, I'm not some crazed stalker. Trust me." I reassured. Sophia just smiled, hopefully she believed me.

My iPhone vibrated in my pocket and I checked who sent me a message.

Brent: Meet me in the gym in 10 xx

Me: and where is that may I ask?x

Brent: okay meet me by the lockers, I'll take you from there xx

I smiled and locked my phone. When I looked up, Sophia raised her eyebrows wondering why I was smiling like an idiot. 'Don't worry' I mouthed and she just shrugged and returned to her food.

I found Brent leaning against my locker talking to Harvey. He turned around when Harvey pervertedly waved to me and I looked at him in disgust. When Brent saw, he flicked Harvey's head and walked away from him.

I wasn't at all expecting what happened next: Brent kissed me on the cheek and I swear my heart exploded. We started walking down the corridors, hand-in-hand, heading towards the so called gym.

"You look really nice today," He told me. I looked down, trying to hide my smile and he just chuckled, "I mean it. Hands down you're one of the prettiest girls in the school."

"There's no need to lie you know." I laughed.

"I'm not lying. Most of the girls here are bitches, trust me I've been with some of them and they are fierce. But you, you're genuine. I like that about you." Brent explained, tightening his grip on my hand. He kissed my forehead and rubbed my knuckles. The feels.

Brent took me to the swimming pool section of the gym and told me to get changed in one of the rooms. I'm not insecure about my body, I'm not one of the skinniest people you would ever meet but I'm not overweight either.

Brent was waiting on the edge of the pool, dipping his feet. I walked over to him and sat beside him.

"Took you long enough." He turned to look at me with those chocolate brown eyes of his.

"Well was it worth the wait." I asked and he smiled.

"Wanna go for a swim?" He questioned.

"Well what else are we gonna do, wait here til the end of lunch?" I mocked him and laughed. Suddenly I felt hands on my back, pushing me into the pool.

"AAAAGGGGHHHHH," I screamed, "UGH WHAT THE HECK BRENT!"

I tried to keep afloat then Brent jumped in pushing me down underwater. I tried to kick him so I could be released and go get air.

"Trust me on this Tallulah," He told me, "Hold your breath and on 3 we go under."

"Why just tell me why." I shouted.

"Trust me. 3, 2, 1." And we both went underwater. Brent grabbed my waist, drawing me nearer to him. His face neared mine and before I knew it we were kissing. I opened my eyes just to find Brent's eyes closed so I did the same. My first kiss was an underwater one...Wow.

We both resurfaced and Brent was blushing like mad.

"I like you, a lot." He admitted and kissed me again. My arms wrapped around his neck and our bodies were touching. I didn't want this moment to end.

The bell rang.

"Shit." I cursed and swam to the edge in order to get out. I ran to the changing rooms and got changed. My hair was still damp but I managed to get it in a braid and leave before the 2nd bell.
