Chapter 8-Window of Oppertunity

Bricks pov

Its been two days since Blossy and I have been playing boyfriend/gilfriend role and I've actually enjoyed being with her at every chance I get but the only problem is Blossom knows there's a limited time she has to put up with me for and lately she's been putting on an act just to keep me happy. It's only when she gets sarcastic which really pisses me off which ends up upsetting me but if I let that side of me show she'll end up using it to her advantage.

"Are you still with us, Mr Jojo?" I looked up to see it was Mr Cunningham looking over his glasses at me.

"Yeah, totally" I smiled back "please carry on"

Mr Cunningham nodded and carried on with his Bio lecture, I should give the man credit, he does try to teach us but he's just so goddamn boring. But then again if it wasn't for this beautiful bastard me and Pinky wouldn't of even happened but I highly doubt he's on Blossy's list of people she likes anymore. The bell finally rang for final period and most importantly an end to Mr Cunningham's awful speech. My last class now is History but I'm so goddamn drained for another hour of school but on the bright side I've got Pinky in my class next.

When I walked into class I seen Blossom sitting in her seat and I smirked and winked at her as I took my usual seat behind her, her facial expression was just a weak smile but with a hint of concern probably of how drained I looked. A couple of seconds later our school Principal, Miss Keane walked in, "Good afternoon, class. Mr Dunn is unwell today unfortunately so this class will count as a study period. I shall be supervising, feel free to study with a partner but no groups." With that she took a seat on Mr Dunn's chair. On queue, Blossom turned around with her notebook, "May as well partner up with my boyfriend" she said putting emphasis on the word 'boyfriend'

"Look, Bloss I'm not in the mood for your sarcasm right now." I said as I leaned my head on the desk.

"Yeah I can see that, what's up with you? You look shattered"

"I couldn't sleep at all last night cause of these stupid summer nights, I had to sleep with the window opened all night and morning while I was getting ready today"

"You a bed sweater?"

"Not usually, it's cause of my fire breath-"

"Wait you have fire breath? Since when?" She cut me off looking utterly shocked and confused.

I had to smirk at that fact she didn't know that "Come on Blossy, think about it. I'm your counterpart, if you're speical ability is ice breath then obviously mines would be fire. It did take a while for me to consume the power but it eventually came"

"Well it's news to me, I've never seen you using your fire breath before" she said seeming interested in the topic.

"Don't really need it, except for lighting my joints if I can't find a lighter" I winked and she rolled her eyes at that comment, "Don't you get freezing in winter nights?" I asked

"Not really, I have this thing in my house called central heating." She laughed. I couldn't help but smile, that's the first genuine laugh I heard from her. "What are you smiling at?" Blossom asked looking puzzled.

"Nothing, I just like the way you laugh." She started blushing when I said that, "is that you getting all shy on me?" I asked deepening her blush. She gave out a shy smile without saying anything "Listen, Bloss just give me a real chance. Why are you always assuming the worse in me?" I asked getting serious, cause truly yes, I have feelings for Blossom, I've accepted the fact that I have feelings for someone I was born to destroy, she knows I like her I've told her like a hundred times now and it's so obvious. I don't need to blackmail her into dating me if she actually gives me a chance.

Blossom's face cooled down and she seen from the expression on my face was real. "Listen, Brick I'm a superhero and you use to be a criminal-"

"Yeah use to"

"...I'm sorry, Brick I just can't trust you" ouch.

"But do you like me?" I asked getting real

"You're annoying and a cocky know it all but you've been bearable and not as bad as I expected you to be these last couple days. If that helps answer your question" she smiled.

I smiled back, "Well, don't expect to be out of my deal with you anytime soon cause I'm using the 28 days to make you fall madly in love with me" I said as I leaned my chin on my hand as my elbow rested on the table.

"Oh really?" She asked cocking a brow "we'll see about that."

The next hour flew in so fast from the flirty lines to back and forward banter the final bell rang. When we walked out of class as I put my arm around Blossom and we took our time walking to our locker while talking about our speical power as the hallways cleared.

"Once when we were younger Buttercup was so pissed off at the fact she didn't have a special power she stuck her tongue out and curled it but Bubbles and I struggled so much at it." Blossom laughed at the memory she was sharing. "But she's still the only one without a unique superpower"

"Yeah same with Butch actually, Boomer can talk to animals" I said

"So can Bubbles! And she also knew how to speak Spanish flutenly if that counts" she added

"Then why is she taking Spanish? She's basically cheating" I laughed. When we got to our locker she leaned on the locker next to mine, "So what are we doing today after school?" She asked.

"I actually have football training today, so if you want to take a day off or whatever. Or you could watch me train, see how your man takes action on the field" I smirked

Blossom had to roll her eyes in humour, "I've actually got to go home and study" she said "anyway, I'll see you tomorrow?" She asked.

"Yeah sure" I said. As she was ready to walk away I pulled her back by the hand "excuse me, aren't you forgetting something?" I asked pulling her closer.

"What?" She looked confused

"A kiss on the cheek?" I asked as I smirked "just today, please?" She took a moment to think it through before nodding. As she tip toed up to my cheek I took a chance and leaned my head down and I locked my lips with hers. The crazy thing is, she didn't back away or anything! She is actually kissing me back! As I pulled her closer we could hear people at the corner nearby and she pulled away, slightly embarrassed. From the corner I seen Mitch and Todd appear but they didn't see anything, "yo, Brick! Coming to practice?" I looked down at Blossom, "You can go, we can talk about this later" she nodded. I smiled back still speechless of what happened but was so fucking happy!

What just happened? Oh my God I actually kissed him back...willingly. Nevermind that, I have work to do. I double checked to see the hallways are empty and entered Brick's comination on his locker 4088 and jackpot! I looked while he was explaining he had football. I looked through his locker carefully placing everything back to where it was and still no sign of my test papers! Ugh, time for plan B. I walked out of school and zoomed to the sky leaving a pink streak behind me and flew to Mojo Jojo's volcano, Mojo's still in Canada for another week and Brick and his brothers will be in football training. I looked through each window until I found a red bedroom which clearly would be Brick's. I took a deep breath hoping his window wasn't locked. As I slowly lifted his window it opened up; JACKPOT! Thank you summer nights! I flew in and closed the window behind me. Okay these papers gotta be round here somewhere. His room is actually more tidy than I was expecting, a few clothes lying here and there but still tidy. I started looking through is closet, chest of drawers, bookshelf and even behind his flatsceen and the cushions on his two seater couch. No luck. I sat on the bed giving up all hope when it came to me, under the bed!

When I looked under I found a few useless stuff, football, old Rowdyruff newspaper and I felt a box. I pulled it out to see it was a shoe box with my failed test results on top! Finally, luck is on my side! As I carefully put his useless stuff back under his bed I was curious to know what was in the box. I opened it to find pictures of Brick and...Berserk Plutonium? How does Brick even know her? Judging by these pictures they use to date. I was going through the pictures until I seen a photo of them kissing. I couldn't help but feel jealousy stirring inside me. As I looked deep in the box I found love poem getting sent back and forward but I couldn't help but to look back at the picture of Brick and Berserk kissing.

"What are you doing in my room?" I jumped up, dropping everything in the box on the floor to turn round to see Brick closing the door behind him and standing with his arms folded. He looked pissed!

"I thought you were in football training?"

"Training got cancelled, now answer the question!"

...wait who cares what he thinks? I got my papers back, his threats won't mean shit to me.

"For this" I said showing him my papers he's been blackmailing me with.

Brick opened up his backpack pulling out the exact same papers, "You didn't think I'd be a step ahead and make copies, did you?" He said with a hint of evil in his eyes. I gulped knowing I just fucked up. "What the hell is this?! Why are you in my room going through my shit like...what's that?" He asked pointing at the floor with letters and pictures of him and Berserk. I was speechless, what do I say? I looked back at Brick to see he was fuming. "Get out." He said. I quickly walked past him to get to the door until he grabbed one of my wrist and looked me straight in the eye "This is your first warning. There won't be a second." He said as he let go.

I flew out of there as fast I could aimlessly flying far away with my heartbeating hard. I'm so fucked.
