At Crenshaw High, when students hear the name Blake Wilder, they think of the scary, hot boy's soccer team captain. The girls all want him and the guys all wanna be him. Everyone fears him, knowing damn well that he's the kind of guy that won't hesi...
The awkward tension around us is so think, it's could be cut with a butter knife.
When the gang showed up at my place, Veronica and I were still fast asleep. I heard hushed voices, but ignored it and forced myself to go back to sleep.
Eventually Mason comes and pulls the blankets off of us and forces his way in between Veronica and I. Keep in mind, Veronica had her head on my chest, her arm over my torso and her bent leg draped across mine while I had my arms around her waist. How he managed to squeeze in is beyond me.
I glare at a grinning Mason before sitting up and resting my back against the headboard. The whole crew is here, even Jake and Jason are standing in my room, looking like they're trying to hold in their laughs.
Veronica is laying on her back and just lifts her head, scans the room and then drops her head back on the pillow. She turns to face her brother and instead of hitting him or being mad that he ruined our sleep, she shifts closer to him and curls herself into his side, ready to go back to sleep.
Mason laughs and pulls her on top of him so he can cradle her like a baby before climbing off the bed and sitting her on the floor.
"Time to get ready, Speedy." Mason ruffles her hair and then leaves my room, taking the gang with him.
"Sometimes I question why I love him so much but then I remember he's my brother so I'm basically forced to." She sighs and stands up from the floor.
Veronica takes a shower to wake herself up properly and when she comes out in just the towel, I have to remind myself her brother is just downstairs along with the rest of our friends, and knowing them, they're very unpredictably and wouldn't think twice about barging in here.
So instead I just pull Veronica into my arms, kissed her, and then go take a cold shower. When I come out, Veronica is sitting on the edge of my bed, putting on her shoes. She has such a casual outfit on but she makes it look so fucking beautiful.
Just a simple white ripped skinny jeans, black sweater and white sneakers with her hair lose and wavy.

"You look beautiful." I smile, walking towards her, watching her blush like crazy. "How do you always look so beautiful?" I murmur softly, leaning down and pressing my lips against hers. Veronica's hands come up to my bare stomach and I groan when her soft hands come in contact with my skin, making my skin feel warm.
Veronica pulls back. "My neck is getting sore." She frowns. I mumble a quick sorry before pressing a kiss to her cheek and walking to my closet to grab something to wear.
Once Veronica and I are both ready to go, we leave my room and head downstairs where our friends are all sat in the living room. Despite them talking in small groups, the air is thick with awkward tension.
Andrea sits beside River, the two of them having their own conversation. My jaw clench when I see her and everything that happened between her and Veronica comes rushing back to mind. Veronica, sensing this, grabs my hand and gives it a soft squeeze.
