The boy with the crooked smile.

Warnings and kisses.

I got out of Jesse's car and walked into school. I was  greeted by stares from almost everyone. Charlie ran up to me from the maths classroom.

" Brooke, your finally back! Thank god" He said pulling me into a hug.  I laughed.

" Yeah I was only gone for a few days Charlie" I said mockingly.

" Yeah but we missed you"

" I feel so loved" I stated, laughing.

" Brooke!" Jay yelled running up to me. He stopped and pulled me into a tight hug, I sighed. He pulled me closer. He pulled back and looked at me seriously.

" Rik" He called, Rikki ran up to us an joined the circle.

"Brooke" he said looking at me " Do you know what this is?" he asked waving a note at me.

" No, I've been away, how am I supposed to send you a note from Fiordland?" I asked " Gimme" I reached for it. Jay handed it to me. I took it and read it. It read: " You should really stop hanging out with Brooke.... who knows might get you in trouble one day" I stared at it... someone playing a joke on me or maybe even being serious and threatening me was fine but they couldn't bring my friends into this.

" Why would I ask you to stop hanging out with me?" I asked, hiding my fear.

" You wouldn't" Jay said. He squinted at me " Brooke are you ok?" He asked.

" Yeah fine" I answered.

" What's wrong?" He asked.. god was I that easy to read.

" Nothing I'm fine" I lied. I wanted to tell him so bad. He grabbed my hand and pulled me behind the classroom.

" Brooke something's really wrong, do you seriously think I wouldn' t notice when my best friend is upset?" He asked.

" No" I sighed.

" Brooke please tell me" He begged, running a hand though his hair.

" When I was in Fiordland I got a weird text telling me not to come back " For my own good" and when I got back someone had been in my room and stolen pictures of me and Austin. I don't know who" I sighed.

" WHAT?!" He burst out " Brooke this is serious, you have to tell someone. This person could be dangerous"

" No its fine, It'll stop soon anyways" I said.

" Brooke, I'm always here, please remember that" He said wrapping his arms around me. I smiled and returned his hug. We returned to the others and waited for the bell to ring.

The bell for the end of lesson rang and I packed up and headed out of class.

" Can I talk to you for a second" Austin asked.

" Why?" I asked turning to face him.

" Its important" was all he said. I followed him down onto the field. He stopped and turned to me.

" Brooke, I have to tell you something" He said, he glanced around cautiously. " I really meant it when I said its not what it looks like. back at my house. I can't tell you everything... it's complicated. Just be careful who you trust" He said shiftly.

  " What do you mean" I asked

" I can't say... I'm so sorry"

" Please" I begged.

" No, just please be careful, your too beautiful to get hurt" He smiled at me.

" I-Austin please don't " I stammered.

" No its true, your beautiful" He repeated... He pressed his lips into mine and cupped my face in his hands. I panicked. I had to admit I had missed this. But I knew what he had done. I pushed him away.

" Are you fucking crazy?" I half yelled at him.

" Brooke, I'm sorry" He said nervously.

" I hope so, don't touch me again" I said and walked away. I was sure I heard him whisper " I love you" But I ignored him and kept walking back to school.
