Brooklyn had just invited her friend, Shelia, To help her pick out an outfit for the first day back to highschool. As The girl prepared snacks for the two, she heard the door open " Hey Shelly!" She smiled and turned with a tray of all different kinds of snacks. " Let's go!"Brooklyn exclaimed and rushed up the stairs, she was giddy with excitement for the first day of school, you could just feel the excited energy coming from her.
Once they arrived at Brooklyn's room and placed down the snacks, the excited girl raced to her closet and tossed a speaker on the bed " Hook up the Speaker! Let's listen to some music!" She said and started to look through the tons of clothes in her closet as Shelia fumbled with the speaker trying to hook it up to her phone.
It took a while, But Brooklyn finally decided on what she wanted to wear, A cute white blouse with a beautiful floral pattern and black high waisted ripped jeans. She stood up off the floor with the folded clothes in hand. Suddenly a sharp knock from the lower level of the house made the girls turn towards the door and freeze. Finally Shelia stood up and announced " I'll go get it! You stay here" Brooklyn raised an eyebrow at this but brushed it off, if only Brooklyn had seen Shelia glance out of her open window.
Brooklyn was starting to get suspicious of why Shelia was taking so long, and after fiddling with her phone and switching the songs around quite a few times, paused the music and silently opened her door and peaked down the stairs to see a pretty cute kid and Shelia talking. The kid seemed to be blushing, 'oh Shelly' the girl cleared her throat and loudly asked " Shelly! Why didn't you tell me there was a cute boy at the door?" she giggled a little at her own comment.
What she didn't realize was the death glare she was getting from Shelia as she walked down the stairs, Shelia noticed the boys eyes glued on Brooklyn, " God why do all the boys fall for her!" Shelia yelled, and everything went silent " I thought being your friend would get some boys to fall for me but no~ you get all the attention, you're not even that pretty! You know what!? I'm just going to leave, bye slut, don't ever talk to me!" she screamed before grabbing her purse, which she forgot to take upstairs, and walking out.
Brooklyn's eyes went wide when what just happened set in. The poor girls eyes started to water but she brushed the tears away and turned to the boy who stood by the door kinda shocked " I guess I Dodged a bullet there huh?" he sheepishly chuckled. Brooklyn was dead silent for a minute, trying to find it within her to laugh, but she pulled the wrong strings and she broke down crying. The boy rushed over to her and asked if she was okay, and he sounded genuinely concerned but Brooklyn was not okay right now " Do I look okay!? I just lost my closest friend over boys!" she snapped and broke into more tears. The boy sat down on the stair next to her and gently rubbed her back "It's okay, if that girl was like that because of boys she wasn't worth it"
It took an hour but Brooklyn was finally calm enough to stop crying and get some things sorted, first was to close the door. After closing it she turned to the boy on the stairs " I-I don't b-believe I caught your name?" she asked, sniffling, the boy responded " My name is Shawn" he said after standing up, " And on I'm sorry for invading your personal space" He apologized. " It's f-fine... " she mumbled and wiped a stray tear from her face " And my name is B-brooklyn" She said in a trying-to-be happy voice. " Look are you sure you're okay?" He asked, Concerned for this beautiful stranger. " Yeah" Brooklyn mumbled and sniffles again " You live in the neighborhood right?" Brooklyn said as she walked over to the kitchen and motioned Shawn over. " I actually live next door" Shawn said as he sat at a barstool by the counter.
It was quite a while later when Brooklyn was finally seeing Shawn out the door. As Shawn disappeared out of sight Brooklyn started to blush, She couldn't have fallen for him, Right?
