Our Hidden World

Chapter 10

Brooklyn's P.O.V:

At 7 o'clock my mom wakes me up by turning on my light and saying "Wakey wakey eggs and bakey." She's been doing this since sixth grade and it's starting to get on my nerves. At least it gets me awake though.

I grab my phone from the nightstand and start playing music. Walking to the bathroom I do my daily routine. When I come back I hear my phone playing Cain by Cousin Marnie and I just have to plug it into my boombox and blast it. I don't even care if I wake up my sister in the process, in fact that might be a plus.

As I dance around I look for an outfit to wear. I find my red tiered ruffle cami and a pair of dark wash skinny jeans. Finding my black riding boots I put them on just as Josie starts walking downstairs. How the heck did she get done before me? I decide to curl my hair today and go to turn on the curling iron. It takes me 15 minutes to get my hair done and when I do I hear the front door open.

Grabbing my black leather jack I head downstairs and see that Landon is here. Not giving it much thought I grab my backpack and tell Josie that I'm taking my bike.

"Ooh can I see it?" I hear.

"Sure"

We head outside and I take Landon to my bike.

"Woow"

"I know right?"

"Do your parents know you have this?"

I laugh "They're the ones that got it for me when I turned 17."

"I would love to have one."

"Well I can't let you take it but maybe I'll let you ride it some time."

"Thank you."

"No problem. I should probably get going. See you at school." I say as I put on my helmet. I turn the key in the ignition and it roars to life. I wave to Landon and drive away.

Parking in the parking lot at school I see a lot of the people looking at me as I walk by. Halfway to the school doors I see Landon and Josie and I start jogging to catch up to them.

Walking to our lockers I see that our friends are already there and I start talking to Regina and Violet. Regina and I start walking to our sign language class once the rings while Violet walks to gym.

Like always I'm bored out of my mind in class. Finally, the longest hour of my life class is finished and I can get out. All I can think is two more hours Brooke two more hours till lunch.

2 hours later

LUNCH!!!!

I practically run to the lunch. Where I see Landon already sitting at our table.

"How the heck did you beat me here I practically ran?!"

"Skipped class" he said shrugging his shoulders.

"Why would you skip class?"

"Shanon's in it." He grumbles.

"Ahhh. You do know you don't have to be scared of her or anything right? She knows not to mess with our group."

"But I'm not in your group."

" Yes you are. You've been part of the group since the beginning. Anyone who can deal with the craziness of our group for more than two minutes deserves to be in it group. Trust me when I say that"

"Hey guys. Whatcha talkin about"Asher asks.

"Nothin."

"Suuuure. What are you doing tonight Brooklyn?"

"What do you think."

"Working?"

"Wait you work?" Landon cuts in.

"Yes. Like every other teenager."

"Oh..."

"You don't have a job?" I ask in surprise.

"Well no. I mean I've had a job before but I don't really need one right now."

"That's so unfair," I pout.

"What's so unfair?" Asked Josie.

"Landon here does not have a job."

"Well the rest of us don't either." Nyssa said.

"And we've talked about this before."

"We all know the reason why you two got jobs and why you haven't quit."

"Wait. The two of you?" Asks Landon.

"Yep, Josie and I."

"Where do you work?"

"Barnes and Noble."

"Why would you work there?"

"Well you see Landon, Josie and Brooke here are nerds."explained Asher.

"We are not nerds we're geeks. There's difference."

"There is not a difference."

"Yes, there's nerds who are super smart and geeks are into weird stuff."

"So movie at the twins house?" Asked Eli as he reaches the table. "Ooh. You were talking about something weren't you...oops."

"Yes. Why is it always our house?"

"Because you two are like the leaders of the group."

"Fine. We'll text you when to come over."

20 minutes later

Ding ding ding. We all get up and throw away our trash. Then head to class.
