Chapter 2

Three months later and things have been amazing. My body has changed already so much. I got a little taller and my shoulders got broader. My hands got bigger and of course my facial hair and my voice. It's even deeper than Jesse's! Brett thought. This move has been great so far. Brett's been working so hard to build his new body and Brett couldn't be happier. He's definitely gotten muscular along with a six pack of abs. Tryouts are this week and Brett is beyond nervous. Brett and Jesses have been practicing every day. Brett's arm has dramatically improved and even Jesse has been great. He has always been Brett's right-hand man as his wide receiver and of course as his brother. Jesse always had Brett's back and Brett will always have his.

"Let's take a break, bro." Jesse said as he ran over panting. "You're right, Jess." Brett said. "Dude, we are going to kick ass at tryouts. With your awesome arm and my amazing catching skills." Jesse said gesturing to himself. Brett just laughed at him walked inside where he found Emily sitting there looking sad. "What's up little sis?" Brett asked concerned. "Nothing." Emily said not making eye contact. The move hadn't been as easy for her as it was for Brett and Jesse. Brett walks over to Emily putting her hand on Emily's shoulder. "Hey, I know you. I know when you're not yourself." Brett said. Emily turns to look at Brett in his eyes. "I'm just scared about starting high school without my friends." Emily said after a few moments. Brett sighs, "I know Em, but this is a chance to totally reinvent yourself." Emily is silent for a moment while thinking about Brett's words. "You know what? You're right." Emily said as she got up the hug her big brother. "I'm always right." Brett said smirking at her. Emily rolls her eyes, "Shut up." Emily said as she pushed him playfully. "Jesse and I have your back, okay?" Brett said to her. "Thanks, Brett." Emily said hugging Brett and walking away.

Finally, it was the day of the tryouts. Brett actually woke up with no problem. Brett is absolutely not a morning person but today is different, he has a good feeling. "Morning, Mom." Brett said walking into the kitchen and giving his mother a kiss on her cheek. "Good morning, honey. Why are you up so early?" Mom asked with a questioning look. "Tryouts are today, Ma." Brett said shrugging his shoulders. Katherine put her hands on her son's shoulders letting out a chuckle. "Honey, that's not until 11:00am and its 8:00am." Mom said. "Can't a guy just be excited without getting the 3rd degree?" Brett said smirking at his mother. Mom rolled her eyes, "Honey, you are so my son." Mom smirked back. Jesse came into the kitchen about a half hour later rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Morning, guys." Jesse said as he yawned. "You ready for today, brother?" Brett asked excitedly. "Hell, yeah!" Jesse said high-fiving Brett.

Finally, it was 10:00am, only an hour until tryouts. "Jesse! Let's go, dude! I swear I am going to kick your ass if we're late!" Brett said yelling. Jesse finally comes running down the stairs. "Dude, I'm here. Let's go." Jesse says as he picks up his bag. "I'm driving." Brett said as they walked out to the pick-up truck they shared. They are twins, why not right? Brett and Jesse arrive at the field 20 minutes later. They both go change and run out to the field. There are quite a few people at the field. People just hanging out on the bleachers and of course the cheerleaders. Brett and Jesse gather around with the other guys while the coach walked up crossing his arms.

"Alright, gentleman. Welcome to Hell. I am Coach Turner for those of you that don't know." Coach said. Brett was listening until he turned his head and saw one of the cheerleaders. She was at the top of the pyramid. She had beautiful long red hair flowing over her shoulders. She had the brightest blue eyes he had ever seen. He couldn't stop looking a bit his lip. She looked right at him, locking her bright blue eyes and his dark blue eyes. She smiles and him and he smiles back with a nod. Jesse nudges his arm and Brett turned back to look at the coach. "Okay, I want defense with Coach Davis and I want offense with me. QB's line up!" Coach yelled blowing his whistle, causing all the boys to scramble around the field. There's only Brett and one other guy for quarterback. The tall brunette walks over the Brett sticking his hand out. "Hey, I'm Tom." The boy said. Brett takes Tom's hand and shakes his hand with a firm grip. "I'm Brett." He said as he introduced himself. Tom pulled Brett's toward him and leaned over to whisper in his ear. "Don't even think about being first string. That's my job and it's going to stay that way." Tom said snarling. Brett leaned in and said "Things change. You better watch your ass." Brett glared at him and pulled his hand away. Brett walks away to warm up with the coach.

Tryouts went amazing. Brett was certainly better than Tom in every way. He made all his passes, succeeded his runs and didn't get sacked once. He handled the ball gracefully and with determination. Tom kept missing his target and got sacked twice. Brett was surprised he did as well as he did because he was complete distracted by the beautiful redhead. They kept stealing glances at each other and it just made Brett want to impress by showing off his skills. Well, it worked. He was still staring at her when Jesse walks up. "Brett, we did awesome! Brett. Earth to Brett…" Jesse trailed off. "Brett!" Jesse yelled to get Brett's attention. Brett turns around glaring at Jesse annoyed. "What, Jess?!" Brett said. Jesse looked over to the direction Brett was looking in and saw the redhead looking back at them. Jesse smirks and says, "I didn't know redheads were your style." Brett gasps and pushes Jesse. "Shut up, dude!" Jesse shook his head grinning. "Come on, Romeo. Coach wants to talk to us." Jesse says as he grabs Brett's arm and leading him back over to the team and the coach, taking a knee. "I've got to say, I'm impressed. Everyone that didn't make it has left already, so congratulations men." Coach Turner said smiling. He knows he's got a good team this year. Tom shot a glare over at Brett but Brett just smirks right back at him. Tom turn red with anger. Tom knows he did shitty today and might have lost his spot as starting quarterback. I'm going to get that son of a bitch. Tom thought.

"Okay, for the new guys, practices are Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. You have Thursdays to rest and games on Fridays. Now go home and rest. We'll see you after school on Monday gentlemen." Coach said and the players started leaving. "Mitchell! Brett, come here, son." Coach called. Brett stops and turns to Jesse. "Wait for me, Jess." Brett said before jogging over to the coach. "Yes, sir?" Brett asked nervously. "You did an outstanding job today, both you and your brother." Coach said smiling patting Brett on the back. "Thank you, sir." Brett said smiling back. "You're welcome, Mitchell. Keep doing what you're doing because I need my starting QB at the top of his game." Coach said trying to contain his smile. "Excuse me, sir? What did you say?" Brett asked with wide eyes and mouth agape. "You're my starting QB. I know talent and I can spot a winner from a mile away. Don't let me down, son." Coach said seriously but smiled. "I promise, sir! I won't let you down!" Brett exclaimed happily shaking the coach's hand. "Good, because I'm counting on you, kid. Have a good first day and I'll see you after." Coach said walking away.

Brett runs over to Jesse and tackles him. "Dude, what the fuck?!" Jesse yelled and Brett helps him up. "Jesse, I'm starting!" Brett yelled grinning and Jesse's jaw dropped. "Brett, are you serious?!" Jesse asked still shocked. He knows his brother is an awesome quarterback and he knows how much this means to him. He loves seeing his brother happy after everything he has been through. Jesse is proud to have Brett as his brother. "Yes! That's what Coach wanted to talk to me. He wants me to focus and not fuck up. I won't, this is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I can't wait to prove myself." Brett said happy and nervous at the same time. Jesse gives Brett a hug and says, "I'm so proud of you." Brett hugs Jesse back and says, "Thank you, Jess. It means a lot to me." The boys pulled apart and walked inside to change.

Brett and Jesse walk out towards their truck talking about all the victories they were going to bring the team this year. "I'm beat. Let's go home and celebrate." Brett said throwing his bag into the bed of the truck. "Shit, I forgot my phone inside. Wait for me." Jesse said running back inside. "Dumbass." Brett mumbled chuckling to himself. "Hey, Mitchell!" Tom yelled from behind Brett. Brett sighs and turns around. "What do you want, Tom?" Brett asks with annoyance in his voice. "You off the team!" Tom yelled as he pushed Brett into the side of the truck. "Fuck you!" Brett screamed in Tom's face. He was about the push Tom back when he heard the most beautiful voice. "Tom, leave him alone." The gorgeous redhead walks over from behind Tom. She grabs his arm and tries to pull him away. "Stay out of this, babe!" Tom screamed as he pushed her off him and she falls to the ground. Of course, she has a boyfriend and it's this asshole. I don't have a chance with her. Brett thought. Then Brett snapped.

Brett grabbed Tom by his shirt collar and spun him around and slammed him against his truck. The girl, shocked by this, stands up and watches in awe. "Don't you ever put your hands on a woman! Got it?!" Brett screamed in Tom's face. He took Tom's right arm and twisted it behind his back, turning him to face the girl. "Apologize!" Brett yelled in Tom's ear. Tom doesn't say anything but tries to get out of Brett's grip. Thanks to T, Brett has grown increasingly stronger. It gives him a little bit of an edge. "Come on. Be a good little boy and apologize to the lady." Brett said smirking at the girl, starting into her beautiful, bright blue eyes. "Fuck you!" Tom screamed still trying to get out of Brett's grip. Brett twisted his arm a little bit more. "That's not the answer I was looking for." Brett said calmly. "I'm sorry." Tom mumbled. "Excuse me Thomas, but we couldn't hear you." Brett said smiling at the girl and her smiling back at him biting her lip. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry." Tom said louder. "Good boy." Brett said releasing Tom's arm and pushing him away from them. "You just made a big mistake." Toms grumbled as he walked away. "You okay?" Brett asked the girl. "Yes, thank you, but you didn't have to do that." The girl said shyly. Brett looks at her right in her eyes. "No woman should be disrespected like that." Brett said smiling sincerely. "Well, it's nice to know there are still gentlemen running around." She said smiling and winking at him. Oh, my God that smile. Brett thought. "I haven't see you here before. Are you new?" She asked. "Yeah, my family and I just moved here earlier this summer." Brett said. "Wow, from where?" She asked interested. "Maine actually." Brett answered. "Well, welcome to Barden. I'm Chloe. Chloe Beale." Chloe said smiling and extending her hand to shake Brett's. "Brett Mitchell." Brett said taking her offered hand. The second he touched Chloe's hand he felt electricity and gets lost in her eyes while she bites her lip looking back in his eyes.

"Chloe!" A voice brought them both out of their daze. They look over and see a blond girl waving Chloe over. "I'd better go." Chloe said sadly. "Yeah, I'll see you around." Brett said as he watched Chloe walking away smiling back at him. Jesse comes running to the truck, holding his phone out. "Found it! Sorry I took so long." Jesse said. Brett was still looking at Chloe who was talking to the blond girl who called her over. Jesse taps Brett on his shoulder to get his attention. "Oh, good." Brett said finally snapping out of it. The boys hop in the truck and head home. The ride home was silent beside the music that was playing. Brett was still thinking about Chloe. Wow, she was beautiful and sweet. Why was she with that douchebag? Doesn't matter, she wouldn't like me back anyway. Totally out of my league. Brett thought. "Are you okay?" Jesse asked concerned bringing Brett back from his thoughts. "Yeah, I'm fine." Brett said not taking his eyes off the road. "Are you sure? You seem out of it. Does it have to do with a certain redhead?" Jesse asked smirking. Brett looks at Jesse with wide eyes and asks, "What are you talking about?" "I saw you two talking when I came out after finding my phone. I waited until she left because I didn't want to cock-block you." Jesse said laughing. "Shut up, Jesse." Brett said punching Jesse in the shoulder, making him laugh harder. Brett sighs, "She's not interested." "And why would you think that?" Jesse asked. Brett gives him a warning look. "Come on, Brett. You can't deny what happened between you two. I saw the sparks." Jesse said seriously. "Yes, I can because nothing happened. She has a boyfriend who just happens to be that asshole on the team." Brett said looking out the window stopping at a traffic light. "Tom?" Jesse asked quietly. Brett didn't look at Jesse but nodded. "No wonder why he came at you before." Jesse said. "You saw that?" Brett asked nervously. "Yes, I did. But I saw how your handled yourself and I liked the whole saving the damsel in distress scene." Jesse said chuckling.

"Well, that's not the reason he came at me. It's because he wants me to quit the team. I took his spot and he didn't even notice how Chloe and I were interacting." Brett said kind of proud of how he helped Chloe. He wished he could always be her knight in shining armor. "Be careful, brother. Just don't do anything stupid." Jesse said sternly. "I won't because nothing can stop me from kicking ass this season." Brett said determinedly. The rest of the ride was silent. Later that night, Brett was in his room playing his acoustic guitar like he always does when he is upset or stressed. He couldn't get the redhead beauty off his mind. Little did he know that the redhead was thinking about him just as much as he was thinking about her.

Chloe was lying bed staring at the ceiling. She couldn't stop thinking about Brett. This is crazy. She thought. She has a boyfriend and she loves him, right? Chloe has been getting annoyed with Tom's behavior lately but they've been together for over a year, they have history. Then again, thinking about the new boy had the butterflies in Chloe's stomach dancing. He is so handsome. She thought. She remembers looking into his steel blue eyes. She saw passion, sincerity and something more. His smile. Oh, my God, that smile. Chloe thought. It wasn't just his looks that Chloe was attracted to. The way he protected her made her feel safe. Oh, to be in his arms… Okay, calm down, Chloe and go to sleep. She thought. She finally went to sleep, happy but confused. What was it about this new guy that has her feeling this way? She's about to find out…
