I Think I'm Falling....An Ethan Dolan Fanfic

Part 13

"No freaking way," I choke out between giggles.

"I'm telling you, I was forced to pierce my tongue because I lost two competitions," he said through fits of laughter.

"I swear you have to show me. I don't believe you," I say my hands on my hips.

He stands up from the bench and takes off his shirt. His abs were very toned and he was clearly well built. His skin was tanned the perfect shade and I couldn't stop staring. He does a backflip and then wiggles his tongue at me. And yep, there it was. A shiny sliver ball resting atop his tongue.

"All of that? Just to show me?" I start saying laughing even harder.

"Come on, it was dramatic. I had to show you," he says smiling as he puts his t-shirt back on.

He slid up next to me on the bench. "You know, it's like I know you," he says out loud.

My head snaps in his direction. "That's crazy. We literally just met," I speak trying to keep a light tone.

"I know but it feels like I've known you for like weeks or something," he says.

I couldn't blow my cover. I laugh as naturally as possible, "Weeks? Good one E!"

He laughs as well which calms my nerves the slightest bit, "I don't really know you but I would like to. We are working on the project together," he says coming back and taking my hand and pulling me towards him. He grabs my wrist and pulls me closer, so I feel his breath on mine. "After school, my house," he breathes, not taking his eyes off of mine.

"Yeah sure, for the project right? It's a date," I say immediately facepalming myself for what I had said. Seriously? A second time?

"See you around," he smirks leaving me hanging as I stare.

What just happened?

As the bell rings for the lunch period being over, I turn around and head back to the school, determined not to mess up this time. Not at all.

*********************

I hear the teacher tell us we have a free period which means that I was now able to basically do whatever I wanted to. I decide to go to the library to work on the project for math class.

I ask for a library pass and grab my books, exiting the classroom.

As I enter the library I see a new dyed blue streak. I immediately have the urge to rush over but of course, he is surrounded by his football buddies. They were all probably talking about who they were going to smash later.

I rush to a computer and start typing up our project which required many formulas and a lot of work. I see Ethan walking toward me and I keep my head down. He taps my shoulder. "What are you doing?"

"The project," I reply as my fingers fly over the keys.

"I would work on it too you know? I'm not just a jock," he says clearly hurt.

I felt guilty. I shouldn't have left him out. "Sorry E, here I only starting typing up the formulas. Nothing too important."

"It's ok Brooklyn," he said smiling while looking at me.

I immediately had an ache in my chest. It was wrong. I knew more than he did. This is my second time meeting him. It was wrong to just know without saying anything.

I see Ethan waving his hand in front of my face.

"Huh?" I say aloud. 

"Man, you can daydream easily Brooklyn," he says smiling.

I smile back, "Guess I can after all Ethan."

"You know, I wanted to make a video today but we have no one to shoot with. We need someone to set up the lights and record and stuff, " he says. 

No. No. No. I can't. I won't. I will not say, "I can do it."

Shit.

"Really? You would help me and my brother?"

I want to slap myself across the face. "Why not? It should be tons of fun," I fake smile. 

"Cool, see you later, " Ethan says grinning at me. 

What have I gotten myself into?
