Chapter 4- Liar Liar
Rachel changed into a pair of dark skinny jeans and a pair of knee high boots, she put her on a off the shoulder white long sleeve. Jackie had just finished putting her hair in light curls and simple light makeup. She grabbed a small white purse and threw her phone, keys, and i-pod in the bag. She looked over at the full length mirror her and Jackie find at a garage sale, Jackie told her it was very vintage which was very in.
"I don't look like I'll be ready for a jog." Rachel said giggling.
"Well you should make it a nighttime stroll." Jackie said smiling. "Or do other stuff."
"Oh silly Jackie." Rachel said feeling her face starting to red.
Joel and Brody were in their room, Brody was reading and Joel was listening to his i-pod. Joel looked over at Brody and smirked which usually meant he was up to no good. Brody was studying for the english essay they have to write when classes started in a week. Joel turned his i-pod off and throw a piece of paper at his distracted roommate.
"What?" Brody asked.
"You doing anything tonight." He asked him.
"I don't know yet." He said beginning to read his book again.
"Whatever be that way." Joel said getting up and walking out the door.
Rachel looked at herself one last time in the mirror and looked over at the clock 6:57 she got a little excited because the note said be ready at 7 sharp. She began to think about Brody's green eyes and lost herself in thought. Suddenly the door knocked and Rachel had to force herself to hid her excitement. She opened the door to see Joel smiling back at her.
"Rach." He said smiling.
"Jo." She said trying to hid her disappointment.
"Who did you think it'd be?" He said laughing.
"Honestly my first thought was Brody." She told him.
"Oh no he has a date." Joel said giving her a sneaky smirk.
"Let me just grab my bag." She said her heart sinking a little when he said Brody was on a date. She grabbed her bag and smiled she was going to make this work.
Brody was still studying for his english essay when Rachel flooded his mind. Her smile, her eyes, her laugh. Every time he thought of her he felt himself smile, she wasn't like any other girl he had ever meet. He was tired of sitting around he got up and headed over to her dorm room.
Rachel walked with Joel and she felt like she had to force herself to smile and found it harder to keep a conversation going with him. She thought about this morning and how easy it was to talk to Brody and how he made her laugh. She felt instantly saddened that he was out with some other girl and all these self doubting thoughts flooded her mind. Was she not pretty enough, was she not his type, do he even like her as a friend? She was taken out of her thoughts by Joel grabbing her hand, she gave him a small smile. She was going to make this work she told herself again.
"It's cold." She stated.
"Yeah it is." He said zipping his jacket up, Rachel looked at him and gave him a small smile but find it hard to keep focused on him. She made a note to herself to bring a jacket when she was with him cause he isn't the kind of guy to let her wear his.
Brody knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer the door, finally Rachel's roommate Jackie opened the door. She turned her i-pod off and gave him a puzzled expression.
"Hi." She said.
"Is Rachel here?" He asked her.
"Nope she had a date with Joel." She told him making his smile quickly fade. He looked at her not wanting to accept it.
"Oh, sorry to bother you." He said turning, he felt like someone had just punched him in the stomach.
"Bye." She said giving him a sympathetic look, it was pretty obvious he liked Rachel and just find out he was to late. "Want me to tell her you stopped by?"
"No." He whispered, he decided he needed to go to a place to think, and he knew exactly where he wanted to go.
Rachel and Joel made it to the top of the hill, she remembered when Brody took her here and she could have sworn she saw him almost lean into kiss her, but now she wasn't completely sure. She remembered how Joel interrupted the moment and Brody telling her it could be their place. She sat on the swing and lost herself in thought as Joel went on about something again.
"So yeah it was pretty cool." He said.
"I bet." She responded having no clue what he was talking about.
"Yeah it was." The conversation turned awkward quickly. Joel saw exactly who he was hoping to see come up the hill, and when he saw Brody reach the top he grabbed Rachel's arm and pulled her up so he could kiss her. Brody saw it and quickly walked down the hill, he couldn't breathe.
"What the." Rachel said shooting herself from him.
"It's just I like you so much, and I always get what I want." He said inching closer.
"Well I am not some prize you can just claim, goodnight." She said walking away and back to her dorm.
"We will see about that." Joel said to himself.
