*Bree's POV*

I was just sitting there, trying to ignore the fact that my brother and best friend were interrogating Dylan and that Ethan was trying to talk to me. I wasn't having any fun at that moment, but I sure prefer that over Dylan stalking over and punching Ethan in the face! Ethan's hands were covering his nose, and Dylan's hands were still clenched into tight fists.

"Dylan, why did you do that!?" I demanded, getting up from my stool. But he didn't even seem to hear me.

"What the hell dude!" Ethan yelled, still covering his nose.

"Stay away from my girlfriend," Dylan growled. …. What? My face must have shown my thought, and Dylan seemed to snap out of his rage. "Uh…-". Well, if something didn't happen soon this was going to get even more awkward… if that's even possible.

"Girlfriend!?" Ethan demanded, spinning around to face me. I gulped and looked around for a distraction. My eyes fell on Rose and Chase, who were watching in shock. Yeah, I should have just sat by Rose like always, but no, I had to be a total chicken! "You're dating him!?" Wow, he sure wasn't going to give a second to think about this. But then again, considering the question, I shouldn't have to. It was either a yes or no answer, but I still wasn't sure myself.

"Of course they're dating," I heard Chase say, sliding over to stand by me. "Gosh where have you been?"

"Yeah," Rose added, coming to stand on my other side. "Like, everyone knows that they're a thing."

"Oh really?" Ethan questioned. He looked around at everyone's shocked faces. "Who here knew that Dylan was dating Bree?" Chase quickly looked around the room with a pleading gaze. Everyone seemed to understand and they all raised their hands. Having a brother that everyone likes definitely has its advantages.

"See," Chase said, smirking. "Everyone but you knew about them."

"Whatever," Ethan grumbled, stomping to the door.

"You may want to put some ice on that," I yelled sarcastically. He didn't even break his stride. I turned to Chase and Rose and gave them a three person hug. "Thanks guys."

"No problem sis," Chase said, smiling at me.

"And, there's something that you have to do," Rose told me, nodding her head in Dylan's direction. I know that I had to, but I just didn't know what to say to him. He could get kicked off the football team for this. I took a deep breath and took a step towards Dylan, but then Mr. Henderson walked through the door before anything else could happen.

"Sorry I'm late class," he said, walking across the front of the room to his desk. "Everyone take their seats please," he glanced at Chase, Rose, Dylan, and I, and we all sat in the closest seats possible. I ended up sitting with Chase and Rose and Dylan were behind us. "Thank you. Now since we lost some time, we're just going to do some work in your text books. Everyone turn to page 253." And that's how we spent the rest of chemistry, doing problems in our books about the periodic table of elements. I know, how exciting, especially after what just happened.

***Time Skip***

"Bree, I know you're mad at me and I get that, but I just wanted to say that I'm sorry," Dylan said quickly, walking up to me at my locker while I was getting putting my books away. As soon as the bell had rung after chemistry I had practically sprinted out the door (normal pace of course). I didn't really want to talk about what happened… partly because I wasn't completely sure on the details. I had run through it over and over in my head all throughout calculus, but got nothing that I didn't know before. Ethan was trying to talk to me, Dylan punched him, Dylan called me his girlfriend, Chase and Rose totally saved me, and things were insanely awkward.

"I'm not mad," I sighed, turning to face him. And I really wasn't. Confused it what I am.

"You're not?" he specified. I shook my head.

"But, I kinda need you to explain a couple things for me," I said, working up the nerve to ask what I've been wondering for the past two hours.

"Like what?" he asked nervously. I gave him a look that said, 'You know what I'm talking about boy.' He sighed and took a deep breath. "I-"

"Yo, Dylan," someone called from down the hall. We both turned and saw Quinn and the Davidson brothers standing at the entrance of the cafeteria. "You coming or what?"

"Uh, Bree and I have to do some extra work on our bio project, so I might not make it," he told Quinn. Well, that was news to me. Quinn eyed us suspiciously and backed into the cafeteria.

"Since when are we working on our project?" I asked, tilting my head to the side and trying to fight a smirk. "Or did you just not want to tell them that you're talking to me for no other reason."

"What!? Of course not! I just didn't want them to know what exactly we're talking about just yet," he said. I raised an eyebrow at him and pulled out my lunch. "Well, since I'm already supposed to be gone, want to eat outside with me?" I bit my bottom lip and tried to make it look like I was thinking really hard about it.

"I guess," I said slowly. He grinned and took my hand, leading me to the field outside.

*Rose's POV*

"Where is she?" I asked Chase for the hundredth time. Bree still hasn't shown up and lunch is almost over. "What if something happened to her? Maybe someone jumped her. She could be getting kidnapped right now!"

"Rose," Chase stated calmly. "Bree is more than capable of taking care of herself in those type of situations. It's the mess that she's somehow gotten herself into involving Dylan Miller that's got me worried."

"And there's the overprotective brother I know," I mumbled, casting a glance at the populars table again. The only person missing was Dylan himself. Ugh, please don't be with Bree.

"Look, if she wants to date the guy, I say let her," Leo said.

"You just want her to date him because he's on the football team and can get the younger guys to stop stealing your clothes during gym," Chase said, rolling his eyes.

"And of course I want her to be happy, I just don't want to see her getting hurt again," I sighed, putting my head in my hands. "If it wasn't for Ethan we would be way less protective."

"Wait, so Dylan punched Ethan in the face?" Adam asked for the eleventh time. Chase and I just nodded. "Well that's kinda weird, because he's walking around with this weird thing on his nose." Oh, Adam, so innocent.

"He broke his nose!? I didn't know it was that bad!" Leo cried, looking around the cafeteria, probably hoping to find Ethan. Chase and I just shook our heads.

"So, are you coming over after school?" Adam asked me.

"Sure am," I said simply. "I'm actually staying for the entire weekend." Was it just me or did Adam smile. I just shook it off and turned to Chase. "So, wanna spar after school?"

"I can't," he said solemnly.

"Why not? You never back down from a spar," I said curiously. Chase not agreeing to spar with me was like saying Bree hates puppies.

"I just have plans," he said, looking down at his pudding.

"Chase, I'm not going to leave you alone until you tell me what you're doing," I pressed.

"I'm going over to Ally's house," he mumbled. … I hate her.

*Leo's POV*

Oh no, Rose is mad. I've got to hide!

*Adam's POV*

Wow, Rose's face is turning red!

*Chase's POV*

See why I didn't want to say anything.
