A/N:

Two chapters one day! My creative juices are flowing today! Well, Enjoy :)

Brick and Jo barely Said another word to each other before they both left. When Jo stepped back into her house, her mind started spinning thinking about the whole situation. But mostly she was thinking about when he was checking her out!

She thought to herself,

"Why did he do that?! DID HE DO THAT ON THE ISLAND?!"

Jo took in a few deep breaths too calm herself down and reassured herself.

"He was probably just shocked at how much I've changed the way I look..."

She managed to calm herself down, but still a hint of confusion nagged the back of her mind. Jo didn't want to over think the situation, so she decided that, even though it was only 9:45 pm, that she was going to go to bed. And surprisingly, as soon as her head hit the pillow, she fell asleep.

Meanwhile, At Brick's house...

Brick was laying in his bed, but he was wide awake. Too many thoughts were going through his mind to let him fall asleep. And all his thoughts were circulating around a certain blonde girl. A girl with a huge ego, cocky attitude, and and unbearable type-A personality. But, she was also the girl that he had fallen in love with almost two years ago. Brick remembered the exact moment that he had realized that he had fallen for her...

FLASHBACK

(Brick, Cameron and Mike are all in the boy's side of team maggots cabin)

Mike was sitting on his bunk with a furious expression.

"Zoey and I are voting for Jo, I just can't stand her attitude anymore!"

Cameron nodded in agreement.

"I am too. She doesn't care about anyone's well being."

Brick remained silent but on the inside, he was furious. He knew for a fact that Jo cared because she was the one who helped him out of the grave! And he just didn't want her to leave because he was fond of her...and maybe even deeper than that.

Brick thought to himself,

"There must be something I can do..."

*at elimination ceremony*

Brick knew it. He knew Jo was going home tonight. And there was nothing he could do abou-

Bricks thoughts were cut off when an idea hit him like a punch to the face.

"Permission to speak? I volunteer for elimination..."

END OF FLASHBACK

Yes, the reason that Brick eliminated himself was to save Jo, he was just lucky that he didn't get sent home. He just used the "I did not follow my own code" thing as an excuse.

As months went by, his feelings for Jo grew more and more. Seeing her again just made those feelings double with intensity.

Brick finally managed to fall asleep while asking himself,

"Does she feel the same way?"

And hoping, just hoping that the answer was yes.

*MORNING*

AT JO'S HOUSE

Jo woke up early, got dressed and went out for her regular morning run. She just hoped she didn't run into Brick, she didn't really desire any more awkward experiences with him. When she got back to her house, she went straight to the kitchen for some coffee. From her kitchen window she could clearly see Brick's yard. She could hardly believe her eyes! He had everything! Weights, a lap pool, even a climbing wall! Damn, she was actually sort of jealous! She didn't look away from his yard, even when Brick stepped outside.

Jo almost spit out her coffee and her face went hot, she could even feel her blush.

Brick was doing pull ups...with no shirt on...

Jo felt her cheeks get even redder. Brick was nearly the size of lightning now! Guess Jo wasn't the one who changed a bit...

Finally Jo was able to tear her eyes away from the cadet, and when she did, she practically slapped herself.

She angrily thought to herself,

"Why was I staring at him!? Why do I care about bri-"

Her thoughts were ended abruptly when she heard a knock on the door. She looked through the peephole, and speak of the devil, because it was Brick. He must have put a shirt on when she wasn't looking...and honestly, she was sort of disappointed that he did...

Jo opened the door and looked up at him expectantly with her arms folded across her chest.

He looked nervous, but finally spoke up,

"ummm, I was wondering if maybe, you would want to um..."

"Get on with it dampy-pants I don't have all day!"

"Do you maybe want to go out and get a coffee or something, you know, catch up?"

Jo was a bit confused but she didn't linger on the question and replied swiftly.

"sure, I'm just gonna go get my purse."

Brick peeked his head in the door and once she was up the stairs he started fist pumping and grinning ear to ear.
