Chapter 14-Secrets Out
Blossoms pov
"So, Brick what is your plans for the future" Professor asked as he took a bite of his chicken
"Brick nervously swallowed his food before answering, "To be honest, Professor I'm not entirely sure. There's so many options."
"What are you going to do for college? I mean, this is your final year of high school and college is round the corner. This is the time to start planning." Professor said as he washed down his food with red wine.
"Well, there's no harm in winging it, am I right?" Brick chuckled nervously but the Professor just gave him a glance to say he wasn't impressed causing Brick to awkwardly stop chuckling. Oh no, this isn't good.
"In fact, Professor, there isn't any harm in winging it - you just winged it by putting sugar, spice and everything nice in a pot and accidentally smashed a bottle of Chemical X in and boom you got three beautiful girls" I giggled trying to save Brick from the awkwrdness.
"I suppose. But, I didn't 'wing' that Blossom, it just happened but I don't regret that" Professor smiled. Brick used his fork to play about with his food uncertain of what to say next in case he messed it up.
"So, Brick plays football for the school! He's the star quarterback" I mentioned hoping to bring up a different topic.
"Ah! So you're the athletic type then? That's good to hear, Blossom use to be really athletic when she was younger" Professor cared to mention as my shoulder and back tensed.
"Really?" Brick said looking amused, "You never told me you were into any sports, Blossy, what did you use to do?" Brick asked interested in the conversation.
"Eh, it doesn't really matter, I don't like making a fuss about it" I said as I felt my face heat up.
"She use to be a figure skater. She won all sorts of awards, medals and trophies. Oh yes, ice skating was Blossom's thing, you remember that, honey?" The professor asked as he smiled thinking back of the memories. My was the same colour as Brick's shirt, I used a hand to cover the embarrssment plastered on my face.
"Blossy, you never told me you were into ice skating" Brick looked impressed.
"Yeah, well it was a long time ago, I mean who could even remember it?" I giggled nervously cutting into my chicken hoping the topic would magically disappear.
"I actually have pictures up stairs, let's see if I can find them" the professor said wiping his mouth with a napkin. Oh Lord, I forgot to burn those pictures. This is going to be a long night.
The night ended quite well for Brick and the Professor while looking through my ice skating pictures from when I was 7 up to 15. It was so embarrassing, I couldn't tell if the professor was aiming to embarrass me in front of my boyfriend but I could tell Brick was loving every second of it. When the night ended I walked Brick to the door.
"Tonight was fun" Brick smiled as he opened the door while smirking.
"Yeah for you." I said dryly, rolling my eyes.
"Come here" Brick said pulling me in for a hug, "I think it's cool that you did ice skating. Guess that makes you a real ice queen" he joked but I hid my face in his chest to hide away from embarrassment again as Brick chuckled, "I gotta head, babe but I'll see you tomorrow at school" he said as he leaned down to kiss me. I kissed him back and said my goodbyes and closed the door. If the Professor ever brings a lady home I'm gonna get my payback by showing her pictures of the Professor of when he was in a band in high school and see how he likes that one.

I flew home leaving a red streak behind me wrapping my head around tonight and how well everything ended. I didn't think I'd be this happy of dating Blossom and the Professor actually likes me! Or it could've been the red wine taking it's affect. As I flew closer to home I noticed a green streak, Butch? What's he doing out? He's meant to be grounded? I flew faster and closer before he could sneak in his bedroom window. I whistled grabbing his attention and he slightly jumped getting a scare.
I smirked placing my hands in my pocket, "What the hell are you doing out, I thought you were grounded?" I asked with a hint of curiousness in my voice.
"I would ask you the same thing. What's with the haircut?" He asked as he pointed towards my head.
"I was at Blossom's having dinner with her and the Professor. I cut my hair to sort of impress the Professor, just so he could see how serious I am about her but Mojo knew I was out...your turn" I said turning the table.
"Nevermind me, how was your night?" Butch asked hoping to avoid the topic. I raised my eyebrow to let him know that that I wasn't buying his bullshit.
"Fine. I was on a date" he said
"Again? Who is his chick and why are you keeping her a secret?" I asked getting frustrated. Butch never hides his dates and takes every oppertunity to brag about it, I just find it odd that he hasn't said anything.
"No one" he said avoiding eye contact.
I slowly flew closer to him but all I could smell was the same perfume I smelled at Todd's party. Then it hit me;
Flashback
"So...mind if I use your Daisy perfume again?" Buttercup asked Blossom as she nodded handing Buttercup her Daisy perfume. Blossom's Daisy perfume.
Oh my God, this makes so much sense. That's why I recognised the smell! I've been noticing for awhile now that Butch and Buttercup have been on their best behaviour when they're with each other. Also how a couple months back Butch tried to make Buttercup jealous by dating all these girls that meant nothing to him and funny how since then he hasn't dated or been seen with another girl. My eyes widened as I realised what was going on but Butch just looked nervous about the whole situation.
"Butch, be honest with me...are you secretly dating Buttercup?" I asked with a serious expression on my face.
Butch's face started to get redder than Blossom's when the Professor showed me her ice skating photos. "Brick, you need to promise you cannot tell anyone! Please!" Butch begged
Oh my God, this is all too fucking much for me in one night. My jaws dropped, "What the hell, Butch? Why keep it a secret? Does anybody else know?" My head is full of so many questions.
"No one knows. Me and Buttercup got together a couple months back but we just kept it low key cause she knew Blossom wouldn't approve, I mean you seen her reaction when Boomer wanted to take Bubbles on a date, it just wasn't gonna happen. Then you guys got together and we've been talking about going public but honestly, it's kinda hot being able to sneak around" Butch smirked.
"No fucking way. You've been hiding this for months. Oh my God, I gotta head to bed this is too much" I said as I was about to fly through the front door.
"Brick! Promise you won't tell anyone?" Butch pleaded
"Okay, I promise. If you want we can talk about it later"
"Thanks bro" and with that Butch sneaked in his bedroom window and is probably kicking himself right now knowing he got caught.
I came home through the front door so Mojo could hear me and not get worried. I couldn't hear anything so my guess is that he's probably sleeping. I walked in my room and turned the light on and closed my bedroom door.
"Finally, I felt like I've been waiting here forever" I heard a voice and I jumped nearly shitting myself to turn my head and see Berserk lying on top of my bed.
I froze from shock. What do I do? "How did you get in my room?"
Berserk pointed towards the window, "You didn't think I'd forget about your sleepless summer nights, did you?" Berserk smirked as she sat up. I really need to start locking that fucking window.
I leaned against the wall folding my arms as my face harden, "Why are you here, Berserk? What do you want?"
Berserk's face softened, "I want you back, Brick. I'm sorry it took me awhile to realise but you're my soul mate. My counterpart" she said as she stood up.
"Bradley's your counterpart. And for your information, I met someone else" I said narrowing my eyes looking right through her.
"So I've heard. So, Blossom, huh? Bet she's nowhere good in bed as me" she leaned forward showing her chest. I looked away getting angry with her. "Wait, you haven't slept with her yet, have you? Is she still a virgin? Come on, Red I know you miss me. Why pick that sore loser over me?" She said as she slowly approched closer.
She crossed the fucking line. I grabbed her by the throat pushing her against the wall, "Don't speak of her name. She's twice a woman that you'll ever be you slut. Now do me a favour and run back to Bradley, I'm sure he's keeping your side of the bed warm as we speak and if you ever approach me, my brothers or Blossom I will kill you. Do you hear me?"
Berserk didn't say anything. I let go of her throat and she looked at me as if she was ready to kill. "You're making a big mistake, Red. You know what happens when I can't get what I want? I physically go berserk. If I can't have you then I'm gonna take you. Watch your back" and with that she climbed out the window and left and dark pink streak behind her.
I couldn't sleep all night. Not because of the temperature but because I couldn't believe this was happening, why now of all time does that bitch decide she wants me back? I eventually dozed off leaving my worries tomorrow's problem.
I jolted up as I heard my phone buzzing and seen the sun shining through the window. Shit, what time is it? When I grabbed my phone from the nightstand I straightened up seeing the time was 10.30am, shit I'm late for school! But I seen that I had 12 missed calls from Blossom, 5 from Boomer, 2 from Buttercup and Bubbles each and 1 from Butch. What the hell? I swear, if Berserk tried anything I'm gonna loose my shit. Without wasting any time I got up and dressed, brushed my teeth and adjusted my snapback backward. It feels odd having short hair now.
I landed in front of the school gates to see no one outside except for Blossom standing there, in tears. "Babe, sorry I'm late what happ-" before I could finish my sentence Blossom full force slapping me across the face and started punching my chest and I fell over. She got on top of me hurting me, screaming and slapping me with every chance she got. I grabbed both of her wrist and rolled her over leaving me sitting on top while pinning her wrists down. "Will you just stop and tell me what I did?!"
"EVERYONE KNOWS!" She screamed back, "Everyone knows I failed Biology and now I'm suspended for a week! This goes on my permanent record!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. As I was lost in a daze Blossom took this oppertunity to push me off her and got up to storm away. I ran in front of her blocking her way, "Blossom I didn't do this! You know I didn't do this, I wasn't even in this morning" I said in defence.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" she screamed as she zoomed to the sky leaving a pink streak.
But I didn't do it. Who could've possibly-...My eyes darkened as I connected the dots. Berserk.
