Chapter 2
I walked through the halls with Chase by my side, looking over his schedule. "First period's Science" He said, looking back up at me. "Huh, me too" I said happily. We walked into Mrs. Sumpter's room as soon as the bell rang. Luke also walked in, our first period apparently the same. "Class, we have two new students- Luke and Chase" She smiled as I took my seat. "Go find an empty seat". Chase immediately sat behind me and Luke sat by a group of girls chanting for him to sit with them. "I call dibs on the strawberry blonde one" Sarah whispered to Shelby. I looked over at her and rolled my eyes.
Mrs. Sumpter asked us to pick lab partners. Naturally, Chase picked me and Luke had to choose between a group of girls crowding him. He eventually chose Chloe. Allison pointed at me and Chase and whispered to her friend, "more like lap partners". They began to snicker when I saw Chase roll his eyes. I then felt a piece of paper touch my arm. I unfolded it and read it. After writing back and forth it eventually looked like this:
Hey Bre. I have a question about Breanne- Your friend.
Sure, ask away. This is boring anyways.
Okay so, do you think she really likes me?
Yeah, shes crazy about you :D
Oh… okay. I think when I get back, I'll ask her on a date.
How about we discuss this after drill team practice at the park?
Alright, don't let anyone else come though. I don't want them to know.
Alright. By the way, you have really good handwriting.
Thanks.
I folded up the note and packed it away into my binder as the bell began to ring for next period. Again, me and Chase had the same class and this happened to be Chase's forte. Cooking class. He went on and on about recipes, his job, his future etc. When we walked in, Britney, Gill, and Gale were in the same class.
Britney's POV
I watched Bre and Chase walk into the room talking. They would be such a cute couple… I turned around and started to talk to Gill again oblivious to a pair of yellow eyes staring me down. I could tell by now Luke had a crush on me. It was really obvious. But I liked Gill and that was it. Isn't it? I've always thought Luke was nasty and arrogant, but Natsume made him different then how he really was. He was actually- sweet. But Gill was boring. A made a weird noise as a paper airplane hit me in the head, clearly from Luke. I looked over at him and he had a huge grin on his face. I opened the paper and read.
Yo Brit! I wanted to ask you something… Wanna go to the park after school? Bre said you guys have drill team practice after school so maybe after that? Hope ya come. –The awesomely awesome Lucas.
I looked at him and rolled my eyes, his goofy grin disappearing. He put his hands together under his chin and mouthed 'please' over and over. I mouthed back 'fine.' His goofy grin returned. I looked back and caught Gill reading over my shoulder. He looked sad and slumped back down into his chair. I gave him a sympathetic smile. I looked back over at Chase and Bre and began to giggle.
Breannes POV
Luckily the cake batter on my face was hiding me blushing. Chase kept wiping his finger on it, gathering some and eating it, smiling. "You make really good cake batter!" He laughed. My face turned even redder. Thank god for cake batter. "Yeah… I wanted to be a pastry chef when I get older so my mom teaches me every so often." Unfortunately for him, he didn't have cake to cover up his face turning a bright red. "Maybe one day we can open a restaurant together… That is if I don't go back" he smiled looking down. When he did, the third bobby pin fell out and I picked it up, placing it back perfectly into it's place. "Do you even do anything to your hair?" I asked snickering. "Yeah, Bobby pins." He replied. We both laughed, but immediately stopped when Mrs. Dean screamed at us. "You guy's gonna stop flirting with each other and get to work anytime soon?" She screamed. He blushed and I looked down. "Yes ma'am" we both said in sync. I could hear Luke laughing at the other side of the room. I heard laughing down the hall and looked out the door. I saw the glowing tattoo and immediately knew Gale was skipping class with… Amber? One of my best friends Amber. How could anybody like him with how he's dressed? But then I noticed he got rid of the jacket and put the boy's athletics shirt on with tennis shoes. Finally someone got a sense of fashion.
After the rest of the day was drill team practice. Chase walked me to the door by the wall that said 'starsteppers' and waved goodbye. After a long 3 hours of running, working out, and dancing it was time to leave. Chase was gone so I assumed he already went to the park. I got into my car and drove there, catching Chase on the swing eating a Twinkie. I got out of my car and ran towards him and got on the swing right beside him, falling flat on my face. He began to laugh with his mouth full of murdered Twinkie and helped me up. "A bit hyper to come see sexy me hmm?" I looked at him and rolled my eyes. "Totally. Couldn't stay away" I said sarcastically. "So, about me and Breanne. I really, really wanna impress her. But how?" I looked at him and shrugged. "Well, she likes pastries. And she really likes cake batter… Maybe you could make her something?" I smiled looking down. He looked at me with sparkling eyes. "You act so much like her." He whispered. I began to sway on the swing and looked down keeping silent. "You are her, aren't you?" I looked back at him and smiled. "Finally you get it."
