The boys next door

Brad's POV

I never meet any kind of girl like these girls.

I mean don't get me wrong but they are really cute and I'm starting to fall for one of them. But I'm so used to girls asking me out all the time and them being so clingy. But this girl I wouldn't care if she was clingy at times or bragged about us to her friends.

"Hey Christy wait up!" I yelled after her as she walked ahead to the food court by herself in front of James and Roxie.

Christy stops and looks back at me. "Yes?" she asked.

She looked pretty shy and it made her look even cuter.

"What do you feel like eating?" I asked as I looked at her.

"Chinese." She said and giggled alittle. Man am I falling hard.

"Wow you have a cute giggle." I said. "What do you want from there?" I asked and smiled at her giggle.

"Noodles and chicken." She said and smiled showing me her pearly white teeth.

"And what would you like to eat?" She asked me.

"Pizza I guess since your having Chinese." I said while looking at her.

"Okay." she said and started walking to the Chinese line.

I followed her and waited in line with her.

"I thought you were getting pizza?" Christy questioned confusedly at me.

"I am. I just thought that I would wait till you got your food first." I said and walked with her as the line moved up.

"Okay." She said and looked away biting her lip. Dang I'm falling for her really hard. "So Brad since we have some time alone, I wanna get to know the guy that is standing next to me." Christy said as we moved up.

"Okay. Um I'm adopted along with John. We both don't know much about James to know if he is adopted or not. I am German, Dominican and American. I am 17 and I have a twin brother." I said. "What about you?" I asked her questioningly.

"I am Bahamian and American. I'm 16 turning 17 next month and I always go with the flow cause its no point trying to find a way around things." She said with a half smile on her face.

"Oh so when's your birthday?" I asked her trying to get to know her some more.

"July 12th." She said and moved up in the line.

"Oh cool mines already passed it was on January 15." I said and walked up with her.

"Nice." She said and looked at me. Her glance went from me to the ground then back at me. "Um...can I asked what happened to your family?" She asked shyly.

"Um I really don't remember them that much but my mom was an addict and my dad was a workaholic and one day my mom just couldn't take it anymore so she killed herself in front of me. I remember that because she was in the room with me and my brother. I-"

I was interrupted by her.

"I am so sorry!" She said with watery eyes. She grabbed me and hugged me.

"It's okay but what I didnt get was when I call 911, cause that was always the right thing to do when something happens...." I said and paused. "When they came and got her body and my dad came to the hospital he started yelling and hitting me and my little brother. Telling us it was our fault, that we shouldn't have been born, that this wouldnt have happened and that he hated us." I said as a few tears building in my blue eyes.

"Oh my... I am so sorry." She whispered in my ear and she cried on my shoulder.

"No don't be it's alright. But ya someone saw and called the cops on him and we went into foster care and that was when the Morales family adopted me and I tried to save my little brother but it was to late some other family adopted him by the time the Morales adopted me." I said. I watched as she loosened up on the hug and let me go.

"Wow you've been through alot. If that was me, I would have probably been on medication right know." She said as she backed up with tears still in her eyes.

"Ya that's how I feel sometimes...." I say as I look at her and wipe away her tears from her light brown, caramel eyes.

"But right now lets not worry about it. Okay." I asked her as I still had her face in my hands.

"Okay" She said and shook her head yes.

"Okay, now can you stop crying so I can see that beautiful smile of yours?" I looked at her. She smiled and laughed alittle.

"You think my smile is beautiful?" She asked as she wiped the rest of her tears.

"Yes now lets go cause we're next." I stated as I walked with her to order something.

"Can I get the noodles and sweet & sour chicken and an egg roll." She said to the cashier. Her total came to 15 dollars and some change. I took out my wallet and paid the cashier with a 20.

"What are you doing?" Christy asked as she looked up at me and grabbed her food.

"I'm paying for you." I said casually.

"No I mean why?" She said.

"I have my reasons but I just want you to enjoy your time with me." I said.
After walking her to a tabel i started walking to get some pizza at some place that I never heard from. While I'm in line I turned around to look at Christy sittung with James and Roxie.

I got my pizza and sat down with my brother, Christy, and Roxie. I took a bite out of my pizza and looked at Christy who sat right across from me.

"Hey you might start drooling if you dont stop staring like that." James said to me and laughed.

Roxie looked up at me then at Brad then over at James but continues eating.

"Hey Brad you wanna try this? It tastes really good together." I looked over at Christy who looked at me for an answer.

"Sure why not?" I said. I watched as she twurled some noodles on her fork and picked a piece of her chicken and held it out for me to bite. I leaned in and ate the food off the fork and chewed.

"Wow that actually tastes pretty good." I said as I looked at her.

Then I noticed that John and Julie werent here. "Where's John and Julie?" I asked and looked around the table.
