Story of my life *BRENNEN TAYLOR*(on hold)

Part 9

Next Morning:
I woke up late. Didn't care, I just felt like absolute shit. Brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, threw on a pair of black jeans, tie dye hoodie and my new shoes.

I walked downstairs, obviously no is home because it's a Monday. You know I wonder why Xavier doesn't just wait until I'm ready so I can give him a ride? Oohhhh I remember this conversation.. it's because I'm late.... everyday, since kindergarten. Today I left at 8:30am. While I was driving to school I almost fell asleep. I should've eaten something.

Skip car ride
I walked into class and sat beside Brennen and just put my head down and fell asleep.

Brennens pov:
I was day dreaming not listening to the lesson and I was interrupted when I see Amanda. She walks in at 9:00! I wonder what's wrong? She's even more late than me. She sat down and didn't say a word and just folded he arms and put her head on the desk. She had her head down for like 20 minutes. I just had to check to make sure she wasn't dead. "Amanda" I whisper and give her a little nudge. "Amanda" I whisper again nudging her a bit harder. She's kicks my leg "what was that for" I say. She slowly rubs her hand on my thigh and leaves her hand there. I was thinking, come on A just a little higher (cringe) After the lesson we had a worksheet to be done, so now I needed to wake this girl up. "Amanda" I say shaking her. "Xavier piss off" she groans. "Xavier?" I say in confusion "sorry. Xavier does that whenever he wakes me up" she says. "Well clearly he didn't do that this morning" I say. "Your so funny aren't you" She says following a fake laugh.  "Hey Bren can I see your hand" she asks. I give her my hand, she intertwines our finger pulls my arm closer to her, rests it on the desk and puts her head down on top. Honestly this isn't even uncomfortable but we needed to get shit done so we pass. "Amanda" I say pulling my arm away. She looks up at me, I look at her face. She didn't look herself, if somebody hurt her I swear. I wanted to be sure she was ok so I asked "Are you ok? Is there something wrong?" I ask. "Do you wanna Skip next block?" she says. "Anything for you" I say and smile. She cracks a little smile. I reach my hand out to take off her hood. But she puts it back on, tightens the drawstring and ties it closed. She dramatically whips her head to face me "Nobody's getting into this hole" she says. "We'll see" we burst out laughing. I know the whole class is staring at us but I don't care. When I'm with her I feel like we are the only ones here..

Amanda's pov:
We burst out laughing. I could just get lost in his eyes all day. "What is all the commotion back here" the teacher says. I take off my hood and straighten out my hair. "Nothing Sir" I say. The teacher walks away and we both try to hold in our laughs. We worked on our worksheet till the bell. When the bell rang we walked right out of the school. I stop "wait! I have to text my mom" I say pulling out my phone. "Your gonna text your mom that your skipping?" He says. "Ya. She's gonna find out either way. This way I don't get into trouble" I say. I text my mom she says it's fine. "K let's go" I say then we continue walking. I'm not actually sure where we are going, but I didn't mind. I feel safe when I'm with Brennen.
As soon as were out of sight of the school Brennen takes my hand and locks our fingers. I look down at our hands then up at him. "What" he says with a stupid smile. I look back down at the ground "nothing" I say. We walk up to a park and sit on the swings. We were sitting there, I had no thoughts. My mind is blank, I closed my eyes, tilted my head back enjoying the sunlight beaming onto my face with the wind softly blowing my hair. "Amanda" Brennen speaks. "Hmmmm?" I respond not really engaging. "Why were you late this morning" he asks. I think of what happened yesterday, I open my eyes to see him staring back at me with a worried look. "Oh I just slept in, nothing to worry about" I say lying straight to his face. "I know when your lying, cuz whenever you lie you bite your lip" he says. Oh my gosh he's totally right I do bite my lip when I lie. I sigh "yesterday... my siblings told me that.... my dad is engaged" I say looking to the ground not making eye contact. "Is that upsetting?" he asks. "Well I mean, ya it is. I have my reasons and my dad always.. you know what it really doesn't matter" I struggle to say from holding back tears. Brennen gets up stands in front of me, pulls me out of the swing and grabs me into a hug. He rests his chin on my head while I bury my face into his chest. "This is what I needed" I mumble letting out a tear. Then I move my face to look up at him. "Thank you" I say. "Your welcome" he says. We pull apart "sorry I got your shirt all wet" I say sniffling. He wipes my tears with his fingers and puts his hands on my cheeks. We're just staring at each other, Brennen inches his face closer to mine. We're only centimetres apart but I look down. I just stare at the ground. REALLY AMANDA!? YOU COULD'VE SAID SOMETHING DON'T JUST FUCKING IGNORE THE GUY. jeez I don't even know what to do. Do I let him kiss me or do I...Fuck I feel so bad, I want it so bad, i want him so bad. But I'm not in the right place, not right now. Plus we like just met! He moves his hands back down to my waist, pulls me close and squeezes me tight and puts his face in my neck. "Sorry" he says. "No I'm sorry" I say. I hug him tighter "B.. it's too soon. There's a time and place for everything." I say. "Just-" I cut him off saying "no, it's not right" he kisses my forehead before we decide to head back to school before lunch ends. We part to our classes as we walk up to school.

END OF DAY:
At the end of the day I just dropped off my books to my locker and I run into Chloe. "Hi Amanda" Chloe says. "Chloe!" I hug her. "Hey this weekend wanna sleepover" she asks. "Ya of course." I say. "Awesome. Plus I got some tea to spill" she says. "I can't wait" i say. We continue talking just about random things while we walk to my car. We say goodbye and I jump in and drive home. I park in my driveway get my keys and open the door. "Hello!" I yell. "Amanda" I hear my mom. I walk up to her room "hey Ma" I say and give her a hug. "School called today because you were late.. again" she sighs. "I know, the whole dad getting married thing is just crazy. Like why now you've been dating for 8 years honestly what's the point." I say. "Yes I know, but that still is no excuse" she says. "I promise I'll wake up early tomorrow. I'm gonna go eat" I say "Ok" she responds before i walk downstairs to the kitchen. I pour myself some oatmeal crisp in my special ceramic bowl that I made in grade 9. I eat while scrolling through Twitter and I see Brennen tweeted
'There's a time and place for everything' I liked and retweeted. After I finished eating I washed my bowl, headed upstairs to do my homework. I was searching up something on my laptop when I get a FaceTime call from Brennen.

Ft call with Brennen

Brennen: Hey

Me: sup

Can you help me with this homework please?

Sure

I grab my iPad to finish what I was searching. We finished all our homework in under an hour. We had time to talk so we chatted. He was telling me about this guy who's new around town. I must not have any classes with the guy because I have to idea who he is. His name is Joshua McLean. Sounds like a douche, Brennen was saying he's pretending to be friends with him so he can see what he's really like. After an hour and a half, I was called down for dinner. I hung up and ran down to set the table to eat. After eating I went back up and had to catch up on my fav show Atlanta. There's no new season but I haven't watched it since before we moved. At 9:00pm I decided to get an early start plus Brennen wants to introduce me to Joshua in the morning.

MORNING:
This morning I woke up at 7:00am. Threw on black leggings, a blue tshirt, and my old skool checkerboard vans. Finished get ready and ate cereal by 8:00pm. I drove to school, pulled into the parking lot to see Brennen and a Filipino guy leaning on his truck. I get out and walk up to them. "Yo A" Brennen says and gives me a hugs and a small kiss on the cheek. "Hey" I say. "This is Joshua" Brennen introduces. "Hi I'm Amanda" I give a small wave. "Hi" he says with a smile. Damn he's kinda hot. Shiiiii- wait Amanda. Shut up. You like Brennen. "Has Brennen showed you around school" I say. "No I haven't. I thought we could give him a quick tour." Brennen says. He looks down to his phone. "We have a good 25 minutes" he says. "Ok let's go" I say. We showed him around till the bell rang. "Gotta get to class, B will you come with me to my locker" I say. "Ya sure. See you in gym Josh" Brennen says. "Bye" Joshua says as he walks away. Brennen and I start walking to my locker. "So what do you think" he asks. "He doesn't talk much." I say. "No, but I'm sure he'll come around" he says. "But you know he's good looking" I say. As we stop at my locker. "Ya but not as good looking as me" he says. I stayed quiet. "Right!?" He says. "Of course" I say sarcastically. "Say it like you mean it" he says. "I did" I say. "Noooo. Say 'Brennen you are the sexiest man alive'" he says. "I wouldn't say sexiest" I say. "Come onnnnn" he says. I close my locker and start walking away. "B I gotta get t-" I was cute off by Brennen grabbing me by the waist and pulling me away. We carried me to the janitors closet and locks and stands in front of the door "Brenneeeeeen. I'm gonna be late. I'm going to ruin my perfect attendance." I say whole hitting his chest. "ahem" he scoffs. "Are you thirsty?" I say. "AHEM" he scoffs again. "Ugh. Brennen Taylor. You are the sexiest man alive." I say. "Thank you, also one more thing" he sticks out his tongue and licks me. "Ew Brennen your so gross. Your lucky I don't wear foundation" I say while wiping my face with his shirt. "Oooh you'll be getting that a lot soon" he says. I roll my eyes and run to class before it starts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yes I know, I know. This chapter was a lil cringe, don't @ me. I'm also just gonna make a few time skips cuz we want to get to all the goodies. Also I'm not really good at transitioning my chapters, so if someone can help me with that, that would be great.
