Shy

Chapter 4- Friends?

And here goes another chapter.
Happy reading. :)
****************************
"And finally this is my house. Sweet home sweet." Brook finally completed giving me a tour around the town, ending it at her house.
Her house, it is beautiful. It's like a mansion to be honest, cream coloured with huge glass doors and windows and the space is incredibly huge. Isn't girl like Brook supposed to be a major bitch? Rich, pampered and so on?
Maybe not all.
'Maybe she is..remember Victoria's words?'
Screw my head.
"Hey, you planning to come in?" Great. I must have been drooling and looking like a creep.
"Yea. I am!" I reply.
It was all of a sudden that I got comfortable with Brook, which I don't know is supposed to be good or bad. According to my observation during the short tour she had given me, Brook seems like a girl with a personality everyone loves and has a strong position around people, but something is hidden, something behind all of her walls. I wish I would know what.
Encountering Brooks parents was as always, difficult, but they seemed nice and let's not talk about her room, I wouldn't be able to explain.
"Thanks for today by the way Brook."
"My pleasure. It was a tiring day wasn't it? But you sure are a great person Ruby, I'll have to admit that much. But don't be scared or shy, make your position strong, strong enough no one will able to get to you. Take it as a warning from others who, you know are umm... Bullies?"
Woah. She just didn't go that deep.
"Okay....I'll try, hopefully." I reply pretty much hesitant and shocked.
"You'll have to, before it's too late."
True shit.
"Yeah. I've always been this way I guess."
Silence.
"Um.. Toilet? Where is the toilet?" Gimme a break.
"Go out the room, at the end of the corridor and take a right turn."
"Thanks." I rush out.
Why does she care all of a sudden? I've just known her.
Returning to Brooks room, I look around and come across a room with its door slight open. Me, too curious decided to peek in a bit. A slight smell of a guys cologne hit my face. There's another guy in the house? Curious I peek in a bit more. All I could see was a king sized bed,curtains closed and a crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
I shouldn't be doing this. Shaking my head, I left, returning to Brooks room.
"Well you took a long time." I jumped, startled.
"Well..umm... I came across this room and just got curious? I'm sorry I shouldn't have." I reply.
"Oh that must be my brothers room. I forgot to mention." She has a brother?
'Well dumb ass you just met her and don't expect to know everything.' Thanks to the head again.
"He, does he go to the same sch-"
"No he dosent." She cuts me off. Sure thing she doesn't want to talk about him. So, I drop the topic.
"Anyways I think it's getting late, I'll head out." I look down at my watch, my deadline is at 8 and it's 7 already.
"Oh sure! You can burrow my car, no problem." Wait what? Her car? And I burrow? Okay..
"Oh no it dosent matter I'll walk." I reply hesitating about burrowing her car.
" No seriously, it's gonna be late. Take it."
"Okay then.. Thanks." I say agreeing with her.
Right before leaving her room..
"And so.. Are we friends or what?" Brooks asks leaving me with a complete shocked expression.
"Well.. Um... I.. Think so." I reply.
" Thank the Lord, I've always wanted a friend like you, Ruby." She hugged me, tight, real tight.
"Oh.. Okay.. Thank you so much for letting me in. I appreciate it. A lot. But now I seriously gotta run!" I reply with a grin on my face, that doesn't want to be erased at all.
Oh my god!!! I made a friend! Oh my god, oh my god! No shit. I was doing a happy dance inside , until I hit someone.
"Woah!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.." I look up and see a guy around my age. Baby blue eyes, dark brown hair, fair skin and..
"Hey." He says.
"Hey." I reply.
"I've not seen you around before." He states.
Obviously not dumbo.
" I'm Brooks friend, Ruby." I reply.
"I'm Matt by the way, her brother." So, he's Brooks brother. Why wouldn't she want to talk about him? He looks fine, I don't think there's any problem.
" It was nice meeting you but gotta run!" I rush.
" Sure! Maybe..see you around, Ruby?" I laugh and nod my head.
"Sure will, Matt." I reply.
