Brooke P.O.V:
" Morning Stefan. Where's mom and Dad?" I asked our cook as I walked into the kitchen that morning. I had pretty much only put on eyeliner, brushed my hair and teeth, put on my slippers, and come downstairs."Ah, bonjor Madame Heartly. Your Pére has gone to work, as has your Mére. Now, would you like some Breakfast Miss?" Our French chef replied. I still cant get over how epic his accent is. "Oui Monsieur Morel, Merci." I replied with a smile. He simply smiled and nodded before going over to make me my favorite breakfast. A salsa omlete, two pieces of toast, hot chocolate, and a small bowl of fruit. I loved talking with Stefan in french. It helped me learn more and not forget what I knew, plus we could have secret conversations that no one else would understand.
Suddenly, I heard my phone vibrating on the marble counter top. I quickly went and grabbed my phone just as Stefan left the room. It was Zack. I instantly got excited and picked up, forgetting that I had food in my mouth.
B: "Hello?"
Z: "Uh, hi. Is this Brooke?"
B: "Yeah. Hey Zack."
Z: " Hey. I was, uh, wondering if maybe you would want to hang out?"
Was he asking me out? OMG, what if he was? But, why would a guy like Zack like me?
B: "Sure, i'd love too."
Z: "Really, cool! Uh, where?"
B: "It's up to you. I really dont mind"
Z: " alright, how about you meet me at Punch Skate Park. Do you know where that is?"
After him giving me the adress and all, he said he would see me there at 12:30. I looked at the clock. "Crap!" I exlaimed uner my breath realizing it was already 11:30. I only had an hour! So, I scarfed down the rest of my food, and ran upstairs to get ready. By the time I was done, Sasha had woken up, Luka was fed and nawing happily on her food, while Duke had finally stopped barking and had settled on sitting next to my bed, watching my everymove. I had put my hair in two pigtail braids with my beanie. I had done a simple wing liner with cherry red lips, i had on my combat boots with my slightly ripped jean shorts. Then, I had on my purple paint splatter tank, black leather jacket, and my black and white skull scarf. I grabbed my bag and skateboard, and rushed out the door.
"Where are you going Miss Heartley?!" Carson had asked me, shocked at my rnning through the house. "The Skate Park, Ill be back in time for dinner!" And with that, i hopped on my skateboard and was headed toward the skate park and Zack.
Zack's P.O.V:
I was so worried when i got to the skatepark. It took me forever to convince My Aunt to let me use her car, and by the time I got there, I was at least 10 minutes late. So I ran to the table by the snack shack at the park, where I said I would meet Brooke. "Oh, thank god." I said as I got there and saw that she wasn't there yet. But then, as I sat down, it hit me. What if she forgot or decided she didn't want to come. But just as I started getting really nervous, I saw her. She was actually riding a skateboard right up to the table. She was gorgeous!
"Hey, sorry I'm late. It took me awhile to get ready. You must've been waiting here forever!" she said, smiling as she leaned her skateboard against her chair and sat down. " Na, its cool. Honestly, i was pretty late myself." I admitted awkwardly. She simply laughed and looked around the park. I couldn't help but smile when she did, and her laugh was perfect. "So, what do you think of Cali so far?" I asked her, watching her expression carefully. Her smile slowly faded as she said "It's alot different from my old town. And I miss alot of my old friends, but I do really like Cali." she said, turning and smiling at me with sad eyes. "You ok Brooke?" I asked her. She smiled at me, for real this time, and said "ya, just a little homesick is all." And with that, we were sitting in awkward silance for a while until I finally said "Want anything to eat before we go skating?"
After we had finished eating our pizza and drinking our soda's, we were out in the park skating. She was amazing! She was grinding and doing kick flips like a pro! It was irritating having all the guys in the park gawking at her though. Whether it was because of her sick skating skills or because of her looks, i was still unsure when we left. I decided on walking her home and she eagerly agreed with that beautiful smile of hers. As we walked home and we talked, i realized just how hard I was falling for this girl. She was smart, and beautiful, and funny. I really liked her.
" No shit." she laughed as I pointed out how stupid the guy across the street looked. "So, what's your story?" She asked, breaking the silence that had decended upon us in the past few moments. "I think I could ask you the same." I said, turning and smiling to her. She was simply smiling down at her feet. "Fine," I said after the silence threatened to cover us again "I live with my aunt and my cousin, and Seline's my bets friend. And admittedly, I havn't exactly been the happiest guy on earth." I said turning away from her. "Why?" She asked me. As I finally turned to look at her, i could see the kindness in her eyes...the concern. "Because, well. You know that feeling were everything is just crashing down on you?" Her head dropped and she didn't say anything. What the hell was I thinking, of course she did! She just had to leaveeverything she ever knew behind and here I was dumping my problems on her. I instantly felt bad and decided to shut up before I hurt her anymore. "ya, i know." she said in a soft, feeble little whisper. "Well, I guess that's why. Sorry for bringing it up." I said looking at her. Her head instantly lifted and a smile creeped across her face. "Don't be. I know how you feel."
"Well, this is my stop." She said turning to look at a huge mansion and then turning back to me. " you live here?!" I exclaimed looking at her house wide eyed. "haha ya" she said blushing. "Oh, I almost forgot," she said pulling a towel out of her bag "I didn't give this back to you the other day." I simply laughed and took the towel from her hands "thanks." i said smiling at her. She blushed and it was the cutest thing on earth. "You know, I've been alot happier lately though." I said awkwardly rubbing my neck, not looking. "Oh really? Why?" she asked smiling at me. "Because I met you." I said risking a look at her. She was blushing and smiling at me. I decided to risk it and so I moved in closer to her. She looked away and so I gently lifted her chin with my finger and brought my face to her's. I pressed my lips to hers and it felt like fireworks. I couldn't believe what was happening, but her arms wrapping around my neck assured me that it was all real.
Brooke P.O.V :
I was actually kissing Zack, and it was amazing. I loved every second of it and feeling him pressed to me pushed me over the edge. But then, I remembered Andy. Even though I had liked him for so long, when we kissed it was nothing like this. But all the same, I felt guilty. When we finally stopped kissing, all my thoughts of Andy faded away once again. It was just me and Zack. He stroked my cheek and I couldn't help but smile. "Brooke, I really like you. So I have one thing to ask you." He said looking in my eyes. "Yes?"
"Will you be mine? Will you be my um, girlfriend?" He asked me with pleading eyes. I couldn't help but smile and, completely forgetting about Andy, said "of course I will." He kissed me agin, this time with so much passion, it felt like something out of a true love story. This was officially the best day of my life. Screw cloud 9, I was on cloud 9,000! But it had to end eventually, he pulled away from me and said "Sadly, I can't keep you all night. But I'll see you tomorrow princess." And with one last kiss on my cheek, he disappeared into the night, as if the whole thing was just a dream. I stumbled back to my room, realizing I was the only one in the house still awake, and got into bed. I fell asleep that night with a smile on my face. I was sure that I was going to remember this day for the rest of my life.
