Chapter 11

Not good at lying

"It was so romantic…Bren…I'm telling you, he was so sweet and nervous. I was too. I have never felt like this and have never done that with someone I loved so much." Kelly gushed.

I was trying to be a good friend but I was throughly grossed out. Kelly and Brandon had sex for he first time. She called me this morning wanting to take me to school so she could tell me all about it. I reassured her she could talk to me about this stuff and she could. Kelly was my best friend just part of me was jealous. Jealous because Kelly and my brother were moving towards serious and I had one date with Dylan that no one knew about. She picked me up so early I hadn't even seen Brandon yet. "I'm happy for you Kelly, I know my brother adores you." Kelly squealed and hugged me causing me to laugh. They were cute. Ugh retch. Kelly and Brandon were sleeping together. SIGH.

I made my way to class and saw Brandon and Dylan were chatting in the hallway. We had writing class, "We didn't make the movie." Dylan answered the question I hadn't heard.

"Hi." I walked up to Dylan.

"Brenda…hi." he smiled widely seeing me as I reached up and kissed him on the cheek.

Brandon looked at us oddly, "Why didn't you tell me you didn't make the movie?"

Dylan put his arm around my shoulder and I leaned into him, "What movie?"

Dylan brought his lips to my ear, "You know the MOVIE we didn't see…" his hot breath in my ear.

"Oooooh that movie right." I nodded, feeling Dylan close to me.

Brandon wasn't amused, "Is that supposed to be funny?"

"Sorry…it's no big deal…is it?" I asked curiously. You know for a guy who had just gotten laid, he was sure stiff.

Brandon looked curiously between us, "No…nah I guess not." Brandon swallowed hard. Why was he so against this? I guess it was a good thing we were keeping it a secret.

I grabbed Dylan's hand, "See you later Brandon."

"Catch you later." Dylan said softly as I pulled him gently up the stairs so we could get to class. I looked back at Dylan smiling up at me then my eyes went to Brandon. My smiled faded as he stared at us. The one word to explain the face looking back at me was nervous. We rounded the corner making our way to class. I was so caught up in my thoughts about Brandon that I jumped as two strong arms wrapped around my waist. I felt the my back hit a door and Dylan backing me into it. I looked around seeing supplies as he closed the door behind him.

I laughed nervously, "A janitors closet? How romantic." I rolled my eyes playfully.

Dylan smiled and moved in close to me, "Yes I know you deserve better surroundings but…" he brought his lips to mine kissing me deeply, "I wanted to be alone with you." He murmured in between the hot kisses he gave me. His hands ran down my ass as he squeezed roughly. "I want you so bad." he whispered. Butterflies fluttered in the pit of my stomach. I kissed him back hungrily. Was he talking about sex?

"I want you too." I whispered back. And I did. But not in the broom closet. "Let's get to class." I smiled against his lips. He nodded and groaned, knowing this wasn't the place to get to heated.

"Hey did you notice anything weird with Brandon?" I asked concerned.

He shrugged, "Not really, why did you?"

"I probably am reading too much into." I dropped it turning towards the door.

"Hey you ok?" He brought his hand up to my arm stopping me.

I nodded and leaned in opening my mouth around his hot lips. I gave him a slow wet peck. He sighed defeated, my pretending nothing was bothering me long forgotten.

I opened up the door slowly taking a peak around. Not seeing anyone in the crowds of my classmates, I grabbed his hand and pulled Dylan to class.

I met up with the girls for lunch and even though the beginning continued with the Brandon/Kelly sex conversation she stopped long enough to eat her sandwich. I was looking around for any sights of Dylan. I thought I was being nonchalant, I was so wrong.

"So Bren…have your sights on any of these eligible teen heart throbs?" Kelly giggled as half of the football team walked across the quad.

I laughed noticing it looked like I was looking at them, "Ummm no I'm good." The girls laughed. Jocks were not my thing…now that's what I'm talking about. As the football team passed, Dylan walked with Brandon, smiling and laughing at something Brandon was saying. I couldn't help but stare. His hair was perfectly sculpted, his green button down hanging flawless on his thin frame with his white t-shirt peaking through. Wearing simple blue jeans and black chucks. He was so godlike. They were walking towards us and I continued to stare as his eyes met mine. He smiled and I was lost. I was found soon after turning my head towards Donna as she cleared her throat. She eyed me, questioning. I looked down quickly. Shit.

"Hey boys." Kelly said happily.

"Hello my love." Brandon murmured sitting next to Kelly on the lawn, bringing her in and kissing her lovingly on the lips. I looked at them. They seemed different, closer. Like they were in on some secret none of us knew about.

"Hey Bren." Dylan sat closely to me causing me to look over at him.

"Hey." I replied shyly, my linger too long. I looked over at Kelly she was looking into her sack lunch but Brandon and Donna's eyes were on us. I pretended to not notice the stares and went back to eating my lunch. The bell rang shortly after and we all went on our way. I made a pit stop at my locker and then what I was scared about came too.

"Hey Bren." Donna greeted me.

"What's up?" I closed my locker and added my algebra book to my backpack.

"We're friends right?" Donna asked nervously setting me back.

I looked at her oddly, "Of course were friends Don, you're one of my best friends."

Donna took a deep breath, "Is there something going on with you and Dylan?"

"No." I answered too fast. Her eyes imploring mine.

"I saw you. I saw you at lunch, and coming out of the janitors closet." she whispered. Damn it.

I stuttered trying to think of a reason why we would be alone in a closet.

"Brenda…you can tell me." she pleaded.

"Yes." I answered quietly. "There is something going on."

Donna's eyes got wide, "Oh my god…how long…when…oh my god Bren this is huge."

Brenda interrupted, "Donna…shhhh please. No one knows."

"Why not? I think you guys look great together."

"It's complicated ok, I'll tell you everything but not here and you have to promise not to say a word…please Don…I trust you with this." I pleaded.

Donna gave me a smile and nodded, "Cross my heart." her index finger crossing over her heart.

She hugged me and I made my way to Algebra. I had to tell Dylan the cat was coming out of the bag.

**DPV**

I walked to tech class, I was early so I grabbed an empty seat by a computer and started the process of booting the thing up. Brandon caught my eye and approached me.

"What's up B?" I asked typing the schools password into the Macintosh.

Brandon signed making me look up at him.

"What's going on with you and Brenda?" he asked out right, glaring into my eyes.

I nervously chuckled, "What are you talking about?" I broke the eye contact, thinking maybe if he didn't see my eyes he wouldn't know I was lying.

"Come on Dylan, I saw you guys, something is there…and I don't like it."

"Brandon…I don't know what you saw, but I'm friendly with Brenda. Like I said, we have the same friends and we get along." I tried to justify.

"Stay away from her, Dylan. Or else."

I got up, now I was pissed. I stepped closer to him, "Or else what?"

The bell rang as the two of us glared at each other. Mr. Simons came in at that point and shut the door. "Take your seats everybody." he announced in the front of the class room.

I stood my ground, glaring at him.

"Gentlemen…do we have a problem here?" Mr Simons asked.

Brandon broke the stare first as he looked at the teacher, he shook his head and moved to an empty seat. I slowly turned around my eyes following Brandon. I took my seat and looked down, what could he have seen? I didn't want to fight with Brandon but I didn't want to stay away from Brenda either. We had one date but this was a long time coming. We were connected. We were amazing together. I ignored Brandon the rest of the class and he ignored me. I would have to talk to him but I needed to talk to Brenda first, I think it was time we told brandon and came out with our relationship. I caught up with her after class by her locker. She was standing with Donna. Not caring I approached them. Donna smiled as I interrupted their hushed conversation.

"Dylan…nice to see you." Donna said with a smile. Acting too friendly.

I looked at her oddly, "Yeah…nice to see you too." I looked directly at Brenda not caring about Donna's weird knowing stare.

"Brenda can I talk to you for a second?" I looked back at Donna and smiled an uncomfortable smile, "Alone?"

Brenda looked down feeling awkward. She was hiding something. "Sure." she said quickly.

"I got to get to class anyway." Donna touched Brenda's arm and looked between us, "See you later." she said with a smirk. I watched her walk away confused, did she know too?

"What was that about?" I moved closer to Brenda.

"Nothing." she shook her head, lying to me. "What's going on?" she interrupted my thoughts.

I looked down the hall and saw Brandon and Kelly kissing by her locker, "What are you doing tonight? Can we get together? I really need to talk to you."

"Sure…everything ok?" I looked at Brandon and Kelly again. They hadn't looked this way yet, too enthralled with each other. When I looked back at Brenda I saw the hesitation and nervousness written on her face.

"It will be, I'll pick you up, 7 ok?" she nodded, I gave her a tentative smile and leaned in kissing her on the cheek. Then headed to class. I hope she would go for this. I couldn't lie to Brandon anymore and I wanted Brenda, out in the open for real. I knew things wouldn't go along perfectly but if we stuck together, Brandon would have to get over it. Right? He had to see what Brenda meant to me, how much both of them meant to me.

I already started the next chapter, I want to finish this fun little fic so bad. Thanks for reading and sticking with me. Tell me what you're thinking.
