Special | Colby Brock

Colby's POV

*PING*

I groan a look up from my pillow to look at the clock on my nightstand.

1:38 PM

I sigh then grab my phone to see a text from Brennan.

-Hey man, get ur lazy ass out of bed and meet me at Mac Dons

Why?

-Bcuz I need ur help with something and it will take too long to type out. Now get your skinny butt over here

Fine! Be there in 10 you persist piece of garbage 😂😂

I roll out of bed and walk to my closet and grab my maroon joggers and throw them on. I then realize that my shirt that I want to wear is upstairs, so I grab my phone and walk upstairs to locate my shirt. I walk upstairs through the living room when I feel a dozen eyes on me.

"Heeeeey Cooooolby!!!" I hear in a chorus of 13-year-old girl voices.

"CARA!" I yell as I bolt to the bathroom and shut the door to escape the prying eyes.

"What!?" She yells back from her bedroom...I think.

"Come here!!!"

A couple moments later I hear my sister pad her way to the door. "What do you want?" she asks from the other side of the door, sounding irritated.

"Why didn't you tell me you had friends over?" I exclaim quietly.

"Because I don't have to since you aren't Mom and Dad?" She simply states. 

A frustrated sigh escapes at her snippy remark.  "Just text me or something next time." I reply as I start searching for my white t-shirt in the laundry basket and grab a clean pair of socks.

"Whatever." She says as she walks back to the living room. I finally locate my shirt and pull it over my head before walking to the front door and sliding on a pair of shoes. I snag my wallet from the small table by the door before starting my trek to meet with Brennan.

A few minutes later, I stroll inside and head to the counter.

"Welcome to McDonald's, what can I get for you today?" The short, blonde girl behind the counter asks me a little too enthusiastically.

"I'll have the number two but I'll have a chocolate shake instead of the drink." I reply while digging in my pockets for my wallet. Shorty puts in my order and tells me my total. Once my food comes up, I grab it and go sit by Brennan who is sitting in the corner with his back towards me. I quietly sneak up behind him before jabbing his sides with my index and middle fingers into his side, causing him to choke on a fry momentarily.

"Really Brock? I could have died!!" He exclaims dramatically after he takes a drink of his smoothie.

"That's pay back from when you scared the hell out of me when I was eating my Dino-nuggets!" I simply state while sliding into the seat across from him

"So why did you want me to come down here exactly?" I ask as I unwrap my burger.

"Well, I saw you go after Courtney after practice the other day. What happened?" He asks as he smirks at me. I feel my cheeks heat up as that night replays in my head.

"I may or may not have kissed her in the woods..." I trail off.

"DUDE!! How was it?!" He asks excitedly.

"Best kiss ever..." I reply dreamily as I start to think of the way her lips felt on mine. Soft and warm and tasted kinda like-

"HELLO! Anybody home?" Brennan shouts in my ear as he knocks on my head.

"Sorry...daydreaming..." I say sheepishly as I look to Brennan's phone, whose screen just lit up.

"Who's that?" I ask while trying to read the name on the screen.

"Oh...ummm...Ayriona..." he says as he sends a reply back without looking at me.

*PING*

I look down at my phone to see a text from Courtney.

Hey! What are you doing atm?

-Eating. Why what's up?

I was wondering if you wanted to maybe meet up in town or something?

I look up at Brennan to see him staring at me.

"What?" I ask

"Ayriona wants to hangout." He simply states before taking a bite of his burger.

"Courtney just asked me the same thing. Wanna meet up with them?" I reply.

"Sure!" He says.

"Ok." Is all I say before I send a reply back to Courtney.
