Bet On It

Two-jack

I've been at school for a few days now, Brook and I talk in science sometimes he even smiles at me in the hallways. It was your basic high school, You had the popular kids, The nerds, The musicians, The jocks, and the kids who don't fit in anywhere so we fit together. My class right before lunch was English. Today I was zoned out and couldn't think about anything other than Brooklyn Wyatt. The bell rang and andy was outside my class waiting for me. 

"Jack how was English mate?"   

"Good I guess now let's go look for Mikey" 

Andy and I went down to the soccer fields because that's where mikey always was. We waited for Mikey to finish up then we headed towards the cafeteria.

"Hey Jack" 

"Hey Mikey" 

"So Brooklyn, how are things with him going?" 

"Ooooo yeah spill please" 

Andy really likes to know everything it's just who he is, Yet when we ask him about Rye he flips.  

"Uh um well he sometimes smiles at me in the hallways and we talk during science but that's about it"  

"Jack, you haven't talked to him outside of school?" 

Great now I have mikey on my case about talking to him as well as Andy. 

"Look Jack talk to him today after school he usually hangs out with me and Rye in the parking lot anyway just come say hi Mikey and I will be there you'll be fine. 

 Lunch continues with Andy and mikey being dumb, I look over to see Brook laughing and it makes me smile. The bell rings and the rest of the day goes by in a blur. Finally science comes around and I couldn't be happier it's my one chance to talk to Brook. 

  "Ok class, today we will be starting a project. You have two weeks to get it done, thats plenty of time so I will collect no late work. The directions and rubric are on the sheet that I'm passing out. Please follow them carefully and ask any questions you may have. This will be a group project so find one person that you trust to get the work done." 

I see brook looking around the room, He looks as lost as I feel. 

"Would you like to be my partner?" I really hope he doesn't notice me fidgeting with my hands  it's a nervous habit of mine. 

"I'd love too" 

  "This is an out of class project so make sure you have someway of getting in contact with your partners," the teacher reminded us. 

 "So would you like to come over to mine after school?" Brook just asked me over to his house wow Andy will be proud. 

"Yea, I'd love that"
