My Stepbrother

Chapter Four

I tried calling Brit but she didn't answer. I needed to tell her everything.
I kept on trying until it was late at night, I decided that tomorrow was a brand new day, I'll tell her then.
I packed my bag, brushed my teeth, and went straight to bed.
I woke up the next morning energised. I don't even know why. I took a quick body shower, wore my clothes, did my make up, and styled my hair in 40 minutes. Can you believe that?
I went down stairs and grabbed an apple to show Aunt Janet that I was eating, plus I didn't want to faint during PE, again.
I took the bus, alone. Brit ditched me again, but this time I was willing to talk to her about it. I was so pissed off and lost in my thoughts on what to tell her until a soft voice woke me up.

"Is this seat taken?"
I looked around, it was Tyler.

"Hey, uhhh no. No it's not. Please, have a seat."
I said shocked.

"What happened to your car?"
I asked.

"Nothing, it works just fine."
He answered.

"Then why are you taking the bus?"

"Because I knew you would be here and I felt like spending more time with you, you know, since we only go to English together."
He smirked.

"Why do you want to spend more time with me? It's not until yesterday that you talked to me. What's going on?"
I suspiciously said.

"It's not until yesterday that I got the courage to talk to you, it doesn't mean I didn't try earlier."

"Aha.. good to know."
I rolled my eyes.

"What stopped you?" I asked

"The fact that I thought you were way better than me. I mean, look at you. An A+ student that is gorgeous and modest at the same time. Who can be up to that?"
He asked not waiting an answer.

"I don't know, maybe the handsome popular student that's also smart and the captain of the football team."
I sarcastically said.

He didn't reply. Instead he gazed into my eyes. I blushed so hard that my cheeks were pure pink, and no that wasn't due to my blush.
He finally broke the silence.

"What are you doing tomorrow?"

"Dad is coming back from his trip to England."

"What time?"

"I don't know, at noon I guess. Why?"

"Do you want to, I don't Know, go out sometime?"

"What?"
I whispered. I was surprised I didn't believe what was happening.

"If you don't feel like it, it's okay. I totally understand."
He said in an upset tone.

I wanted to say yes so bad, but I remembered dad's advice.

"No no, it's not that... it's just... Dad is coming, you know? Maybe some other time. I'd be more than glad to go out with you."
I smiled. I hated myself for rejecting him.

"Okay, whatever you want. Just, may I have your number? Just in case You felt like going out?"
It was the first time I ever heard him in an anxious voice.

"Yeah, of course. Here you go."
I said as I wrote it on a piece of paper and handed it to him.
We reached the school faster than ever. it felt like it was a second since I was totally enjoying my time.
i had a free first period, so did Britney.
I told her everything. She screamed and fangirled harder than ever.
She was so shocked and happy she started crying.

"That doesn't mean that I'm not mad at you, I still am. Why are you ditching me over and over again!"
I sarcastically said.

"I'm not! Girl you may have the captain of the football team as your prom date let me do what I do! I need Locus to ask me out soon or else I'll lose hope!"
She cried.
