My Happy Little Pill

Chapter 2

Brandons POV

I watch Nick finish up, trying to keep myself from looking at the football players. They're just being jerks Brandon, don't worry about it, I chuckle, easier said than done. I didn't want to go home, my mom would freak out on me and call me sissy. I just wanted to be with Nick. I looked down as Nick was single basing, he was so strong. He threw that girl up and caught her like it was nothing. Sometimes I was jealous of how strong he was.

I was too busy thinking about next to notice Carly sit next to me, "Hey Brandon, what are you doing over here? Aren't you supposed to be over there?" She said, nodding over to football players.

"I can't... They're making fun of me and Andrew almost punched me," she stood up in anger and I grabbed her arm "it's okay, Nick already dealt with it. He punched him in the face," I said with a giggle.

She sat back down and looked at me, "Brandon, is there something you want to tell me? Like, anything about yourself?" My eyes got huge, she knows.

"Uh, no, why?"

"Well, you've been acting strange whenever you speak about Nick," I smiled at his name, "See! There is something going on?"

"Carly, if I tell you this you need to keep it to yourself." I said, looking her in the eyes.

"Promise," she said, doing her "zip my lips" thing with her fingers.

"Well... I'm...uh..."

"Gay," she said, with the straightest face I've ever seen.

"You know?" I was surprised.

"Yes I know silly! Why do you think I take you shopping for clothes?"

"Oh... Well I bet you didn't know this part... I-"

"Like Nick. I can tell," wow she is good.

"What do you not know about me?"

"Well... I don't know your middle name."

I chuckled, "and it's going to stay that way," I said, looking down at Nick who waved at Carly and I, "Practice is done in 5 minutes, want to go to the vending machines and get a couple sodas with me? I always get one for Nick after his practices."

"Yeah sure, your paying" she laughed as she got up and walked with me to get three sodas. Nick and I like the same type of Pop, Dr.Pepper, and sometimes when I don't have money for two, I get one and we share, that's just like kissing right? If so, I've had my first kiss with a straight cheerleader.

"What are you thinking about?" Carly asked, pulling me out of my trance, "you're smiling like crazy and..." She moves close to my face, "you're blushing!"

"Stop it," I said getting the two Dr. Peppers and walking back to our stuff. Cheerleading practice was now over and Nick was talking to one of the cheerleaders with his shirt off. God he was so hot.

He finished up and ran up the stairs and came to us pulling me into a hug, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I am," I smiled, hugging back, "thanks for what you did."

"No problem, now let's go," he said, grabbing his bag, his Dr. Pepper, and his car keys and we walked to his 2011 red Chevy Camero. I got in the car and Carly bent over the car and put her arms on the door.

"So, where are you two going?" She asked with a smirk.

"Well I'm going to dri-" but I cut him off.

"To his house," I said, smiling.

"Have fun," she said, walking away laughing.

"I thought I was driving you home," Nick said, starting the car.

"No. I don't want to go home and be called a sissy for crying. Let's just go to your house."

"Okay, to my house it is," and with that, we left the parking lot of our high school.
