Playing Games

As Bradin got up he tried to follow her but nothing, he couldn't find her in all of the people in the house. The girl, that girl that gave Bradin the courage to forget Callie, the kiss, that changed his life and his heart. When he kissed her everything he knew about Callie disappeared and only her, the only thing that was on his mind.

When the party ended they all drove home. In Michael's car, the only thing that was going through Bradin's mind was the girl, Hailey and her lips. At 11:30, Michael dropped Bradin home and left. Bradin walked towards the door with a relax and old Bradin attitude.

Ava: hey how was it?

Bradin: it was fun and cool.

Bradin then walked upstairs and into his room. Ava was glad that Bradin was back to normal and happy.

The next day Bradin took his car to school. He parked his car at the parking lot and he saw his friends. He locked his door and meet up with them. When they were walking, Bradin saw Hailey. Hailey saw him and pretend that he didn't exist.

Lucas: was that girl the person you saw?

Bradin: in the party, yeah.

Michael: it looks like she's playing hard to get.

Bradin thought what his friends said; he wanted to play a game with her but didn't want to lose her. So he didn't play around with her but did try it for a while.

At science class, Mrs. Rayon gave a dissection report, she chose the partners, Bradin, and Hailey were partnered together. They then wore their lab coats, at the table a frog was placed in the plate. When she instructed what they had to do, Bradin cut the frog in half, as Hailey stepped behind Bradin and closed her eyes as he cut the frog in half.

Hailey: that is so gosh, Ewww.

Then the fogs blood spat out and as it was going to Hailey's direction, she grabbed Bradin's coat and hid behind. Behind them two girls accidentally cut the wrong thing and the blood from the vein covered Hailey's pants and Bradin's shirt. They both went to the washroom and washed the blood out. After fifteen minutes Bradin was clean and Hailey wore a new dress, it was a cashmere multicolored spaghetti strap with a coordinating skirt.

At lunchtime, Bradin's friends sat in Hailey and her friends' table. They the boys ate with the girls and talked.

Michael: that party yesterday, wow it was fun!

Korean Hailey's friend: well when we saw you boys dance, no that's what I call amazing.

Korean: but we didn't see you there Bradin.

Andrew: yea you too Hailey.

Hailey: I went to the washroom and met someone after that.

Bradin: same here.

They talked and talked, but then Bradin started to flirt with Hailey. He started to complement her and started gazing at her. One of Hailey's friends, Taylor had a total crush on Bradin. As slow as Hailey could be she didn't take the signs that Bradin gave serious, she only thought that he was being kind and helpful, she didn't know that Bradin had a thing for Hailey. That made Taylor upset; she saw that Bradin was flirting with Hailey and not her.

After lunch, Taylor pulled back Hailey.

Taylor: Hailey since you and Bradin are officially friends.

Hailey: okay where are you getting at?

Taylor: can you set up a date with Bradin and me?

Hailey: I'll talk to him, is that good?

Taylor: thanks.

After school, Taylor said good-bye to Hailey and Bradin as they met up in the field.

Bradin: hey do you want a ride?

Hailey: well can you ask one of your friends to drive your car home; I want to walk with you, if that's okay?

Michael took Bradin's keys and drove off his car to his house.

Bradin: that kind of answered your question.

Then Hailey giggled. As they carried their bags on their backs, they walked on the coast and talked.

Bradin: okay I don't know anything about you so…

Hailey: same here.

Bradin: why won't you start?

Hailey: okay, you already know what my name is. Well, okay I was born in Westchester, New York. I'm 17 yrs old; my birthday is in August 21 1987. I hate cocky boys, girls that think about them selves and not others, but it really matters on their personalities. I love the beach, my parents' move to here because; my dad got a job near here so you know.

Bradin: yea, keep going.

Hailey: I love popcorn shrimps, I love to someday direct a move or TV show. I love to be free and express my style and lastly I love boys who is rough but sometimes be sensitive also boys that are handsome and that can really catch me.

Bradin: that would mean?

Hailey: someone who can catch my eye and impresses me.

Hailey: and you?

Bradin: I live with one brother, one sister and my aunt. I love to surf; I love girls and being free and independent.

Hailey: how about your parents?

Bradin: they died I a car accident.

Hailey: well at least you know they went somewhere happy and good. I know what you went to since my brother, sister and uncle died in a plane crash.

Bradin: so that's why you didn't tell me anything about your siblings.

Hailey: yea, it's hard to remember them.

Bradin: thanks for being cool and not giving me that same thing, that others give me, when I talk about my parents.

Hailey: yea kind of tired of it too.

Hailey: can you do me a favour?

Bradin: sure.

Hailey: my friend Taylor, well can you take her out for me, please.

Bradin: I would, but I have to take care of my brother.

Hailey: okay I'll come over at 6 and she's coming at 6:30, I'll baby sit your brother.

Bradin agreed and said good-bye as Hailey walked to her house.

At 5: 45, Bradin told her that he's going out, and Hailey his friend will baby-sit Derrick. Ava agreed and told him to be home before or 15min after 10. Ava, Nikki, Jay, Johnny, Susanna and Erika all went off to a party and left Bradin and Derrick home. As the clock struck 6:00, there was a knock on the door. There was Hailey.

Hailey: hey wow you look good, I should have asked you out instead or my friend as she joked around.

Hailey: this must be Derrick.

Bradin: yeah, my little brother.

Hailey: he's so cute as she walked in.

They all walked at the living room and watched the ring. When a scary apart came Hailey jumped and turned her body and laid on Bradin. Bradin took that chance and hold her.

Hailey: Is it done yet?

Derrick: yeah.

Then as she turned something jumped up in the movie she freaked out and went back to the same position as before.

Hailey: Derrick, don't lie like that.

Derrick: Okay.

Then the doorbell rang, Hailey jumped on Bradin and screamed. Derrick ran to the door and opened the door it was Taylor.

Taylor: oh Hailey you're here?

As Bradin tried to calm her down, Taylor had to wait until Hailey can get her grip. After a few minutes, Hailey respond.

Hailey: I'm here to baby-sit Bradin's brother Derrick.

Bradin: are you ready?

Taylor: yep.

Bradin walked out with Taylor and then he waved good-bye, Hailey then waved back.

Bradin took her in the amusement park in his car. They got off and Bradin started to throw questions about Hailey and only her. Bradin didn't about their date. Taylor got upset inside, but didn't show it to Bradin. After a few minutes and hours Bradin stop and they headed to the rides, food stands and games. Taylor wanted to end their date with a kiss but Bradin kept getting distracted. So, when they were done in the amusement park, Bradin drove Taylor home.

Taylor: that was a lovely date.

Bradin: okay then see you at school.

Taylor: bye.

As Bradin drove off Taylor felt upset that she didn't get what she wanted, a kiss or a hug. Then as Bradin got home, he noticed that Aunt Ava and the others just came now. They all got out of the car and locked their doors.

Aunt Ava: oh, you finished now!

Bradin: yea.

Nikki: so how was it?

Bradin: you all noticed that it wasn't a date it was like a friend hang out thing, right.

Jay: so it wasn't a date.

Bradin: yeah!

Johnny: so why did you guys hang out, just the two of you?

Bradin: to tell you the truth, I asked her about Hailey.

Erika: oh Hailey Joanne.

Bradin: so that's her last name.

Erika: yeah it is, she and I were friends, and since her mother known me, I hanged out with her and talked about boys and crushes.

Nikki: that means you like Hailey not Taylor.

Bradin: yes.

Susanna: so you used Taylor.

Bradin: well…

Susanna: Bradin you don't treat girls as if their toys.

Bradin: yeah I know we did have fun after my Question/Answer research. And when I dropped her home, she said, she had a good time.

Ava: okay then let's go in because I think Derrick should be asleep by now.

As they walked in the door, it was all quiet and only music were played. Susanna and Erika went to the kitchen a saw everything spotless, no mess or dirt, not even the upstairs rooms, hall or washroom. Once Ava and Bradin walked quietly, they both saw, Derrick sleeping on Hailey's lap, while Hailey was asleep.

Ava: okay I'll pick up Derrick and bring him upstairs, and you'll carry Hailey to your car and drive her home, okay.

Bradin: yeah sure, she doesn't look heavy. Somehow, I owe her.

Ava: bring her to dinner tomorrow and I'll give her the money she earned. Okay.

Bradin: okay then.

As Ava picked up Derrick and started to walk upstairs, Jay, Susanna and Erika walked to their cars outside. Behind them Bradin was carrying Hailey with her head on his chest and her legs dangled on his arms. He asked Jay to open his car door, he opened it and Bradin gently placed Hailey on the seat with her seat belt. He closed it quietly, walked to the driver seat, and drove to her house.

Hailey then woke up as Bradin droved to a rock.

Bradin: sorry, did I wake you up?

Hailey: what, oh your dropping me home.

Bradin: yeah it's okay right?

Hailey: no problem, so how did it go?

Bradin: it was fun, but you noticed that this wasn't a date.

Hailey: Hun?

Bradin: I was a friendly hang out.

Hailey: oh it was, okay then.

As Bradin got to Hailey's home, she opened the door and closed it.

Hailey: see you at school.

Bradin: thanks again.

The next day, Bradin saw Hailey at study hall and talked a while, and then Taylor came in and talked to Bradin for a while. Hailey left and sat behind their table.

Taylor: it was fun last night.

Bradin: yeah you've said that in five messages.

Taylor: your never be sure it works.

Taylor: well I was wondering if you would like to do it again.

Bradin: yeah I would like too as friends.

Taylor was shock she heard that word, just friends. She then responds with a yeah. She then walked towards to Hailey.

Taylor: as friends, is that what you asked.

Hailey: I told him if he could take you out that's it.

Taylor then shrieked and walked a way. Hailey then walked to Bradin and his friends.

Hailey: you don't just tell the girl that you're just friends like that, as she snapped her fingers.

Bradin: I told you were just friends, Taylor and I.

Hailey: let her down first then…

Hailey: you still have feelings for someone.

Hailey: it's Callie, isn't it?

Bradin's eyes then shift from right to left. Then he said Yeah.

Hailey then turned and said she'll talk to him later. But as she walked away, she didn't know that Bradin's feelings were for her and only her, not Callie or Taylor.

Wow! That was a shocker, anyways next time, chapter 4 lovers. As Bradin tells his feelings, would Hailey accept and will they kiss in the moonlit night….
