Brandon picked me up for school, which left Coop to have the car and not rely on a ride from our parents. He was pretty ecstatic about it. Who am I kidding? He was yelling woohoo when he snatched the keys from me.
We arrived at school and walked hand in hand into the school as we were met by Marta, "thanks for abandoning me to ride with this dink," she thumbed at Casey.
"It's not like I enjoy listening to you ramble on about some chick and your mom catching you in the act. I prefer not to deal with your shenanigans," Casey retorted.
"Whatever," she rolled her eyes then noticed Brandon, and I am holding hands, "Wait, when did you two become a couple?"
"We aren't exactly a couple yet," I explained.
Brandon removed his hand from mine before pulling me to him, "what Andi means is we have our first date before making it official."
I nodded my head as he tightened his grip on me. Brandon is a little possessive of me.
I leaned over and whispered, "you can loosen your grip a bit."
"Nope, I finally got my chance and not losing it," he whispered back as I gave him a look.
"You two are sickening; you know that?" Casey remarked to us.
"It cheeses you off that you haven't gotten laid yet," Marta countered.
"If you mean not wanting to get some weird STD, sure let's go with that," he rolled his eyes at her. Those two were something else.
"You're a cock sucking mother Fricker, you dick!" We heard Coop yell as we turned around to see him haul off and hit Keith, causing Keith to fall to the floor.
"Someone has anger issues," Casey commented as we stood there. We all looked at him as he shrugged as Coop walked towards us.
"What was that about?" Brandon asked him.
"That was about him laughing about standing Andi up for homecoming. I swear if I have to beat his ass every damn day then so be it," he turned and yelled at Keith as he got to his feet and wiped his mouth off.
Keith walked over to Coop, "I would watch your back if I were you."
Coop got up in his face, "considering I'm a Harrison, and my grandfather is a Bennett, sure go ahead. I have no issue beating your ass."
"You'll regret that Harrison," he warned Coop before walking away.
"You know dad is going to be pissed if he finds out you're fighting," I told him.
"Who cares? I'll sick Papa on him," he shrugged.
"Why do you two always threaten to sick Mack on your dad?" Marta asked us.
"Because it's funny as hell to see his expression and the fact papa loves to torment our dad," Coop smirked. She rolled her eyes as we all split up, walking to our lockers.
My brother has a temper that he got from dad and papa. I remember mom and nana telling me how both of them beat the hell out of other guys for being assholes - their word, not mine.
Brandon and I walked hand in hand to class. People didn't pay attention to us since we were always around each other. We took our seats next to each other while the teacher taught. It didn't feel like anything changed between us. Maybe love has always been there, I just never noticed it until now. Yeah, I took after my mom when it came to being oblivious.
The rest of the day went by until lunchtime. We all sat at the table like we always do, teasing each other when someone decided to join us. We all stopped to see Cody sitting there.
"Can we help you with something or did you make a wrong turn somewhere?" Casey asked him.
"No, I didn't make a wrong turn, and I'm perfectly happy sitting here and eating my lunch," he replied as he took a bite out of his sandwich.
"Did you hit your head? I'm pretty sure you did," Marta reasoned as to why Cody was still sitting there. I could feel Brandon snake his arm around me and pull me close to him.
"For people who get pissed because someone is honest with them and hates judged, you all seem pretty judgmental," he explained.
"You told my sister you weren't into her and made her feel like shit, sending her to the hospital," Coop reminded him.
Cody put his sandwich down and looked at all of us, "actually, I was honest with her, and I didn't want to give her false hope. How she reacted to it is her own doing? Just because one person isn't interested in someone romantically, doesn't mean it's a bad thing."
We all looked at each other strangely.
"Then explain how you like Marta romantically knowing full well she's into girls," Brandon reasoned. I was curious to hear this one.
"Oh that, yeah, she's hot, but I needed her help with something. I figure if I seemed interested in her, then Andi would quit pursuing me," he explained.
"That makes no sense whatsoever," I told him.
"Well, let me ask you this, would you just accepted me telling you I didn't like you the way you like me? One thing you have to realize about a crush is that's just it, a crush. If you end up pursuing it and it turns out you don't like someone in that way, then you have to save face and try to get out of it," he told me.
I sat there and thought about it. That made a lot of sense. If I had been able to act on my feelings and found out I didn't feel anything for Cody, I might have missed my chance with Brandon.
Cody finished eating as did the rest of us then whispered something in Marta's ear. She nodded and got up with him. They exited the lunchroom together, leaving the rest of us confused and Coop pissed.
Knowing the fact my brother is gay and seeing his expression when Cody came around; it wasn't hard to put two and two together. Then again, I had a crush on Cody and found out he's not into me. That was all way too confusing for me. I needed to focus on Brandon and me at the moment along with our date. I was still curious to find out what he had planned. Whatever it was, I had a feeling he would make it unique.
It seems Brandon and Andi are on the right path and we have their first date next along with Halloween coming. Be prepared things are going to go south quickly right after the Halloween chapter. That's all I'm saying.
