Hayden's POV:

There he was, his defined torso in clear view as he stood there, the light from his phone glowing up his face. He hadn't noticed me so I took this opportunity to check him out.

He had golden brown hair and tan skin that made every muscle, curve, and dip in his body stand out. He had defined arms and a six pack. His shorts hung low on his waist, not too low, but low enough that you could see some of the detailing of his v.

His body began to shift, turning around to face me, and immediately I drop down to the floor, landing on my stomach with a thud. I stay still for a few minutes until I have the courage to peek to see if he is gone. Lifting my head slightly peaking into the window he was no longer there, it was time to move. I spring up to my feet and run to the bathroom, shutting the door behind me.

Leaning on the back  of my door, I let out a sigh, then make my way over to my shower. I sync my phone into the Bluetooth of my speaker and start jamming out. When the water was sufficient I hop in and use my razor as a microphone, while I rap to Congratulations (feat. Quavo) - Post Malone.

They was never friendly, yeah

Now I'm jumping out the Bentley, yeah

And I know I sound dramatic, yeah

At this point I was fully belting out the lyrics, not giving a care in the world. I was rinsing out the conditioner when the chorus came on.

My momma called, seen you on TV son

Said shit done changed ever  since we was on

I dreamed it all ever since I was young-

I hop out of the shower and change into some pjs consisting on my volleyball plaid long pants, and a sports bra.

Opening the door to my room the next song A$AP Ferg- Plain Jane comes on and I immediately feel hyped. Once the lyrics start to play I begin to jump around my room belting out the lyrics.

Ride with the mob

Alhamdulallah

Check in with me, and do ya job

Brayden's POV:

I walk into my bathroom, remove my sweaty clothes and hop in the shower. I let the warm water fall down my face as I think back to today.

I haven't seen coach this happy in such a long time, and to think that Hayden caused that brings a smile to my face.

Hayden.

Her name rang throughout my head, and to think that she was so good at football. I'm not going to lie, I was shocked on how well she did. Especially because she was throwing the same distance as the rest of the team.

Once out of the shower I slide on a pair of grey Nike sweats. Heading out of bathroom I hear music coming from next door. Walking over to my window I see an interesting sight.

It was Hayden.

She was in front of the window dancing while rapping to music. It was actually quite funny, and I did enjoy what I was seeing. I'm just happy she's not listening to any of the girly pop love song crap like everyone else in this city. Instead she was rapping to what I think was Plain Jane.

She wasn't looking my way so I took this time to check her out.

Her long blonde hair was damp, and was cascading down her back. She was wearing a grey Nike sports bra and some plaid pants. It's funny because unlike most of the girls at our school, she didn't have a rack, but she wasn't completely flat chested either. To be honest, I don't even think she had an ounce of fat on her. Instead she was fully built on muscle.

But not in a creepy way where she looks like a man, she was the opposite. There was no doubt that Hayden was pretty.

I was instantly brought out of thought when I saw her body begin to turn toward the window. Immediately I jump the side of the window so I was out of sight. Then I grab my phone and turn it on pretending I was texting and walk back in front of the window, acting like I didn't just check her out.

After a few seconds I look up just as she turns and come face to face with her bright smile and rosy cheeks.

Hayden's POV:

I turn to come face to face with Brayden Haze, the star quarterback, golden boy, and most of all,

brother's best friend.

I flash him a smile, turning my music down so only I could hear it as I feel my cheeks begin to heat up. He returns the gesture with a small laugh. We stand there motionless for a few awkward moments, until You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift comes on, and an instant idea comes through my head.

I run over to my desk and grab an expo marker before making my way back to the window. He gives me a puzzled look, and I just smile at him, before opening the cap and begin to write on my window, backwards of course, so he could read it.

I write out Hey :) and he laughs and grabs a marker before writing Hey back.

This is kinda awkward I write.

Just a little he writes back, which causes me to laugh.

We end up exchanging snapchats via window writing and talked for an hour, about the most random things before we call it a night.

I was honestly so tired from today, and the whole Kaitlyn drama wasn't helping. I closed my blinds and crawled into bed with a sigh.

I smile to myself as I replayed todays events in my head until I fall fast asleep.
