you're cute ➳ brent rivera + brad simpson

CHAPTER 7

Assemblies, who likes them? When you could actually be doing something necessary, you have to stay 20 minutes waiting for an announcement that doesn't even concern you.

"Okay this year we are going to try a little experiment." Mr Green, the headmaster, announced. Everyone groaned.

"Sophomores are going to be paired up with juniors. You are going to be able to choose your partner however if we have any concerns with your choice we will move you." He explained.

A smile instantly spread across my face.

"Sophomores will get to choose their partner as they are younger. See Mrs Rooney at break to tell her your choice" Mr Green continued.

I tried looking around for Brent but there were too many students in the hall.

*I'll tell him later* I thought.

By the time I got to Mrs Rooney's office, the line was huge. I was on my own so I had to get music out and pretend to "socialise". One thing I've done way too often.

A figure came up beside me and I turned to see it was Brent.

"Soooo...who are you picking?" He asked.

"Oh I'm picking Harvey. He is one hot spice." I lied.

"Erm excuse me have you seen my abs." He questioned and I laughed.

"I'm sure they're very nice." I giggled. Brent then moved nearer to me so he could whisper in my ear.

"You can see them if you like," He used his finger to turn my face and he pecked me on the lips, "I'll see you later." He smirked and walked away.

"Ugh bitch," I turned around to see who said that. The blonde girl who sat next to me in Science and who clearly had fake boobs stood behind me, "Brent's mine so just back away ok. Anyway he doesn't dig losers like you."

My turn was coming up and I seriously wanted to rub in that girl's face that Brent was never going to be hers.

"Next." Mrs Rooney announced. She kept her head up until she saw I was near enough to her, "Name, and year?"

"Tallulah Durley, sophomore."

"Oh you're the new girl, hope you've settled in well," Mrs Rooney kindly asked.

"Yeah I've settled in great." It was nice seeing that Mrs Rooney wasn't that kind of teacher who was always strict and stern.

"Okay so here's a list of names and their images next to them. Pick someone who hasn't been ticked off." She explained.

"Ugh hurry up bitch." The blonde bimbo complained.

"Erm Rebecca, language. For that you're having a detention with me at lunch."

*ha teach you a lesson*

I checked for Brent to see if he was free and no tick was beside him.

"I'll have Brent please. Brent Rivera." Mrs Rooney nodded and wished me a good semester. In your face bitch, Brent's mine!

Lessons continued as usual but last period was different. This was when we were able to see our partners and hang out with them for a while. Rebecca walked into the hall with Harvey (who's acne has cleared may I say) with an angry look on her face. She looked at me and scowled, no forehead lines or wrinkles were revealed so this girl is even more fake than I thought. The two began walking up to me and Harvey gave me a hug. We're a lot closer than before because the flirting was all a joke.

"Bitch you're gonna pay. One day you will be effing sorry you picked Brent." Rebecca threatened. I smiled at her and walked away. What the hell is she gonna do? Make Brent cheat on me with her... haha I don't think so. Wait a minute, Brent and I aren't even going out, we aren't official. I frowned at this realisation and decided to leave.

"Hey Tallulah, hold up!," a voice cried. I turned around seeing Brent run in my direction, "Why'd you leave?" He asked, trying to get his breath back.

"Brent are we going out?" I looked him in the eye to see if he was going to lie.

"Tallulah..." He sympathised and stroked my arm.

"No Brent answer me. Are we going out?" I moved away from him to stop my feelings from escalating. The hairs on my arm tingled whenever he touched me.

"We aren't official, that I know. I haven't had the time to plan out when to ask you and I wanted the time to be right. I wanted it to be romantic and perfect." He explained. My heart melted and a smile appeared on my face.

"Brent Austin Rivera, did you just say you want me to be your girlfriend?" I gasped jokingly.

"Tallulah Avery Durley, yes I did."
