Magnetic in every way

Ch 2- Thinking about her

ELI: i️ sat there and stared for a moment longer than a best friend should've.she sat there with her brown hair falling over her shoulder and lying comfortably in the arms of another guy the way her lips curved upwards made my body shiver we made eye contact with me and ruffled my hair making my heart skip a beat.

brooke and i️ didnt grow up together i️ met her in the beginning of sophomore year when carter and i️ transferred over from private school. it's a nice place i guess. i was happy in my other school eagleson prep for the boys. but when my mom lost her job the financial income she used to bring in wasn't there anymore and we couldn't afford the cost of the prestigious school.

it feels like i've known her forever. i️ know everything about her from her biggest fear to the way she looks down at her feet when she's embarrassed. but i️ would never go there it would be to reckless it would be like tightroping over the grand canyon without a net, bound for failer. i️ didn't grow up with brooke but i did grow up with toby. toby's moms and my mom met at the fertility center where they immediately bonded over having kids and being lesbians. 9 months later toby was born and as toby was born came carter and i️ a few months later but we just miss each other in the school year so toby is a grade above us all. we were the greatest threesome from the start from the same football team to acting in theater camp we were all inseparable i remember sitting on his roof when we were nine and promising to be brothers forever but carter insisted we make it official so we snuck downstairs took toby's pocketknife snuck back on the roof and we all cut a slit on our left palms to become "blood brothers". looking back at the scar on my hand and the thoughts about that night that probably was really stupid but hey we were nine. but that was it we were together forever nothing could ever disrupt our bond. that was until we met brooke. she changed us she changed us all.

if i️ was gonna describe brooke i️ would say she is courageous strong gorgeous talented wonderful and magnetic she just has a way of making everything, every bad situation good every feeling of regret of sadness ok and comforting for all of us. from the day carter and i️ walked into her history class and saw her with her earbuds stuck through her shirt so that the teacher wouldn't notice and me sitting there in awe thinking she was magical sparkling just sitting there. when i focused back into reality i realized that it was just the sun hitting her in a certain way. but from that moment, we knew she would be part of our lives and right we were. after about 2 weeks of history and weird exchanged looks she came up to us wearing her abercrombie jeans and vineyard vine shirt and introduced herself "hi i'm brooke" she said in a voice i'll never forget i️ managed to get out "hi i'm eli" my brother was fine like he always is Mr. cool dude "hey hunny i'm carter" he said giving her the cleshaye up down look. i️ glared at him.
"so are you two twins" she asked
"yeah we just transferred here from eagleson prep were the new kids"
"oh i know who you boys are" she said tugging at carters shirt sleeve. "i've heard more about you guys in the past two weeks then when mrs.cubbersin got arrested in class for god knows what" i let out a small chuckle at that.
later that week she invited us over to her house . i️ was so nervous to go to her house but just like brooke her family was magnetic they welcomed us in i remember it perfectly we walked through her front door and her mom sat there in her office and brooke ran over to her and hugged her
"you and your mom are pretty close huh"
she gave me the most serious look and said "yes she is my bestfriend,knows everything and anything about me. probably knows more about me then i know about myself"
we walked shyly into her kitchen which smelled like homemade chicken dumplings but apparently it was just the kitchen smell. brooke walked in and gave us food whatever we wanted and told us to make ourselves at home. brooke's sister clair and her friends roseally and britt came out. clair was a sophomore in college she was tall not like brooke and had brown curly long hair that flowed down her back. her green eyes just like brooke's glimmered and she was one of the funniest people i've ever spoken to. they walked in and made some interesting inappropriate jokes that made us all laugh. i'll never forget when they walked in the front door with trash bags over there clothes and each one of them held up a sign that said "welcome new cummers" i asked them why they had trash bags and they stared me in the eyes and said
" well that's on a need to know basis and i don't thing you need to know"
and that's how it all started. now if your wondering why brooke is off limits well that's because toby's with her.

at the time it seemed like a good idea at the time i️ didn't realize i️ was in love with her i️ imagined it perfect bestfriend meets other bestfriend and it's perfect and perfect it was there like romeo and juliet but more attached to each other and everyone accepted it. it sickened me now it's perfect to everyone but me
