The Boy Next Door

Chapter 39

Brent's POV

I miss her so much. It's been 2 weeks and she still hasn't talked to me. School started yesterday, which is hell. That also means that all our friends left. Nash, Cam, Erin, and the triplets moved to LA a week ago.

Since school started, people are already coming up to me. Giving me their numbers, flirting with me, and trying to be my friend. But I can't pay any attention to those girls. My mind is still on Melanie.

I saw Mel yesterday, but she pretended that I wasn't there and she didn't see me. We have biology together, but that doesn't start until today. We had spanish together but when she found out that I was in her class, with Ashley, she switched into French.

My mom drove me to school and I was upset the whole way there. Bruce has to drive Lexi to the same school because mom doesn't think its a good idea 'for her to see me this upset'.

"Brent," mom said, "can you try and cheer up? It's a new school and you can't spent the first month upset."

"I'll try," I said getting out of the car.

My first class was bio, with Mel. When I walked in, she was talking with Zoey. I sat down in the back of the classroom alone.

"Okay class," the teacher started, "I will be giving you lab partners that you will have all year. When I call your name, sit next to your partner and these will be your seats for the whole year as well."

Melanie's POV

Great. I hope she gives me someone good. Like Zoey. Or Brent. No. He broke my heart. And you broke his so your even. I don't want him. Yes you do.

"Okay, Zoey and Chad," the teacher said. Dammit. There goes Zoey. But she has Chad. She's had a crush on him for the longest time.

"Ryan and Amanda... Sam and Andrew... Chris and Katie... Brent and Melanie... Rebecca and Thomas..."

Wait, what?! Did she really just said Brent and Melanie?! Shit.

Brent's POV

This is my second chance. She'll have to listen to me now. Thanks Ms. Ricardo.

"Sit down!" Damn first day here and she's already yelling at us. Bitch. "For your first assignment, I want you and your partner to search the periodic table and write them in alphabetic order tonight," she said.

The bell rang meaning it was time for spanish with Ashley. Shoot me.

"So which house...?" I tried to ask Mel.

"I'll be at your house at 5," she said walking to her next class. Which was algebra. *cough*

Melanie's POV

I don't know how I feel about this. Should I be happy or pissed? Happy. You miss him. You want to be with him again.

I walk into math but I don't pay any attention. The only thing on my mind is Brent. All the memories we have together. Our first kiss at Taco Bell on my birthday. Going on our first date. Our "first" kiss again in the rain. Him hugging me so tightly when he got back from Magcon. Him being so nervous just to ask me out. Him helping me with Luke came to my birthday party. I miss his tight hugs. His soft lips on mine.

"Ms. Dawson?" My teacher said.

"Hm. What was the question?" I asked.

"Exactly. Pay attention. Anyway..."

Brent came back in my mind. Maybe we should get back together...
