Eyes off you

42

The party was about to start and I was excited, it was already loud from the guys all playing around. The big yard was all decorated in princess stuff and the music was being set up.

Austin took a break from basketball and was playing with the music things, Richard and nick were playing with Aaliyah on the bounce house.

Erick, Christopher and Edwin were playing basketball. Joel and zabdiel we're teaching Zion and Brandon how to play soccer. I feel happy, like everything's falling into place.

"Aria, hey girl haven't seen you in a while you look nice" halie said walking up to me.

"Thank you but I actually haven't changed yet which I should do"

"Before you go how is Brandon doing? Did he finally get rid of that toxic bitch?"

"Charlotte? I think so I'm not really sure I don't really wanna bring it up, I don't know how he'll react about that."

"Hopefully he has"

"If he does still talk to her it's rarely cause we've been hanging out a lot sometimes alone sometimes with the guys and he's rarely on his phone"

"Ouu alone..." she says bumping my shoulder

"Halie not this again... he's just my best friend nothing more"

"You know you both feel more"

"Doesn't matter what I feel he definitely doesn't feel anything but friends, plus he just got out of a relationship"

"Yeah they broke up because of yo-" she stops herself wide eyed. I catched that. She said they broke up because of me...... but what could I have possibly done.

"Wait me?"

"I didn't say that"

"Yes you did"

"OH LOOK basketball ima go play, you should get ready" shit I should get ready but want to know more, but she walked away to fast. I saw her whisper something to Brandon and he gives her wide eyes and looks mad and looks over at me with panic in his eyes. Anxiety rushes through my whole body. I panic as well and just run inside and up the stairs to my old room and change.

I do my hair first just putting some mousse and a bit of hairspray and only mascara and lipgloss.I begin to take off my clothes and grab my dress

I'm only in my bra and underwear when I hear the door begin to open and a knock.

"Hey Ari I wan-"

"HALF NAKED-"

"SORRY SORRY" Brandon says closing the door putting his wide eyes down. I put on the dress super quick and see if my hair is still intact. I go to open the door and see a blushing Brandon waiting.

"Ri I'm sorry I- I didn't mean to wal-"

"Your fine b you've seen me in a bikini before it's basically the same"

"I actually wanted to talk about what Halie was saying"

"Oh she said something but I didn't hear her over the music and when I asked what she said she just panicked and left so I don't really know what she said"

"OH it's fine it was something stupid but...... um your too beautiful to not take some pictures come on" he said extending his hand. I smile and walk with him down the stairs and outside.
