My Brothers Best Friend

ch.17: betrayal

he grabbed his jacket and went downstairs. i felt relived because it was too awkward. i don't know how tomorrow's gonna be like.

                                          ***

when i arrived at school brandon was with his friends and some other girls. 

i looked at him but he didn't look at me. i didn't think anything if it until he went the whole day not talking or looking at me. did i make him uncomfortable? i didn't know what was wrong. i guess we don't have to go talking every day right?

i saw him talking to some girl in gym so i decided to go up to him and talk.

"hey..we haven't talked all day." i said.

"oh.yeah sorry i didn't see you." brandon said

i felt like he didn't want to talk to me. so i went to talk to kevin.

i felt weird. like something was wrong between brandon and i. i texted him when i got home but he never answered. maybe he needs time to sort all this stuff out.

***

since caleb wasn't going to school today i had to walk by myself to the bus stop.

brandon wasn't there so i thought he wasn't going to school. but when i got to school i was shocked.

he was in a car with some girl. she took him to school and when they got out she was just giving him like that flirty look shit.

i got pretty jealous.

i started at them as they went inside the school. is he serious? why would he do that?

he looked at me then went on to talk to the girl. why is he avoiding me? was he trying to make me jealous? i have so many questions.

i went to my locker and i just kept staring at them. i think kevin was talking to me but i didn't listen. so then i told him about what happened

"why would he do that tho?" kevin asked

"i don't know. i didn't think he'd be like this after that conversation."

kevin hugged me and i hugged him back. i saw brandon staring at us hugging. he looked mad.

***

a few weeks passed and i've been hanging out so kevin more and brandon was hanging with that girl.

i asked him if he wanted to skip and he said yes. so we skipped 4th period.

"and then she got mad at me and we broke up" kevin said.

"when did this happen?"

"two weeks ago. i'm over it now."

"i'm sorry that happened. i don't know why she would act like that."

"yeah..but it was better because i like someone right now."

"ohh who is it?" i asked

he grabbed my hand and he put his other hand on my cheek.

"uhh what're you going kevin?" i asked

"you're the one i like."

kevin pushes me to the locker and he kisses me

he was actually a really good kisser.

he stopped and i just stared at him smiling. i looked behind him and my heart dropped.

"brandon.."
