Chapter 2
When Brooklyn had gone home that night after saying goodnight to Kentin & giving him a kiss on the cheek, she had walked into her apartment building and took the elevator to her sister & mom's room on the fifth floor. She entered it and immediately smelled steak & salad, a common supper that her Grand-mere made, considering her mother couldn't cook if her life depended on it. 'Mmm smells good~', Brooklyn said, her mouth watering from the smell warfaring in the kitchen.
Upon hearing her older sisters voice, Codi ran out of her room screaming, 'BROOKIE!~', & was soon in Brooklyn's sight. Codi was already wearing her pink princess pajama's with a tiara on her head, grinning & instantly jumping unto the 15 year old girl. 'Ack! Hi Codi', Brooklyn managed to say as she was tackled to the floor by her younger sister. 'Brookieee are you always going to come home so late? Who was that boy who was walking you home? He looked like an nerd~', Codi started with her usual assult of questions.
Brooklyn just smirked at the girl & went to take some of the supper, mainly the steak.
*Another thing you'll learn about Brooklyn, right now, is that she LOVES meat.
Taking her fill of steak, the purple haired only commented on one of the many things her sister had been spitting out. 'Codi it's not nice to judge people. Don't you remember our neighbor in Alberta? Maybe not because you were four at the time...
Well, that was Kentin. He moved to France too', Brooklyn said, stopping to eat her steak &...
Wait.
Kentin had moved to France.
As well as Castiel...
This was peculiar; weird, Brooklyn thought as she finished up her supper quite quickly. 'Well i'll see you tomorrow Codi. Be good okay?', Brooklyn told her six year old sister who started whining, but Brooklyn told her to shut up & hugged her, and then left.
Yep.
Brooklyn is one caring girl.
The next day at Amoris High, Brooklyn had run into the principal almost as quickly as the day before. 'Ahh yes hello Miss Elizabeth', the principal said smiling at the purple haired girl. Brooklyn nodded at the principals' exsistance & tried going around the pudgy woman, but was stopped by someones hold on her arm. 'Now now Miss Elizabeth let's not be hasty hmm? Come. We have some things to discuss~', the principal said, dragging Brooklyn down the hallway to her office.
As she was being dragged down, she noticed Castiel smirking at her, as if she did something wrong. The ruby orbed girl just stuck her tongue out at him, which made him frown & then her laugh.
But...
Someone was beside him...
Someone with silver hair...
Entering the principal's office, Brooklyn sat down in the posh chair & waited as the principal set her plump bosom into her own chair, which took a few minutes.
Once she was sitting, the principal stared Brooklyn down & started.
'Now Brooklyn, here at Sweet Amoris High, there are two clubs you can join. One is the Basketball club where you can...
Well you can shoot hoops & what not.
The other club is the Gardening Club, where you can help spruce up the gardens and nature outside.
You must make a decision, the principal said, neatly stacking some papers unto her desk. The grey haired woman waited for the purple haired girl to say something, but she didn't. So the principal went on.
'Scuse me Miss Elizabeth, but you need to decide.
Right now?!'.
'O-Oh. I didn't know it was a 'right now thing' Miss Principal. I guess i'll choose...
The Gardening club?', Brooklyn said with a bit of her sass, looking at the principal.
The grey haired woman got up and told Brooklyn to rise as well, then continued to push her out of her office.
'Go to the Gardens outside. That's where you'll meet the boy in charge of the club. Now hurry! I have very important matters to deal with!', the grey haired woman said as she closed her door again, leaving Brooklyn in the hall flabbergasted & confused...
Exiting the school, she came to the courtyards where she saw two familiar males talking to eachother with anger in their eyes, posture, & firmly set jaws. The girl hated drama, so she quickly went towards where the principal said the gardens were, hoping the two would stop yelling at eachother..
In the gardens, Brooklyn wandered around the spacious area, looking at the flowers & trees, nature at its best. While she was looking at the nature, she was also searching for some boy around. But...
She soon discovered that there was no one in the gardens.
'Stupid Principal!', Brooklyn yelled and stormed out of there.
Well, ALMOST stormed out of there.
The ruby orbed girl heard someone sobbing. It sounded an awful lot like a kid-like boy...
'B-Brookie?', a muffled voice choked out, sobbing. Brooklyn searched the area, & finally found the voice hidden by some bushes.
'Kentin?!
Why are you crying?', Brooklyn asked the boy who was now sobbing like a little kid. 'Ssssh there there Kentin, it'll be alright. Sssh~', Brooklyn said grabbing his hand & patting it. At the magical touch of Brooklyn, Kentin's sobs quietened until they were quiet hiccups.
Smiling, Brooklyn helped her friend stand up & walk back to the school, but he didn't want to go back. 'Kentin? Why don't you want to go back? We can stay out here if you want, but i'm concerned why you were crying', Brooklyn said as the two stopped at the exit of the gardens. The mushroom haired boy stared at Brooklyn, & then tried straightening up, trying to hide another wave of tears. He's trying to be brave, Brooklyn thought with a smile.
'Amber & her friends took some money from me. B-but it's okay. That money was only going to be for my lunch~', Kentin managed out, and that was all he could say as Brooklyn puffed out her cheeks like a little girl & started marching towards the school, dragging poor Kentin along wit her. 'Hey! Brookie what are you doing?', Kentin said as they were now at the entrance to the school. 'Something I should've done a long time ago...'.
Finding the fake blonde girl with her posy, Brooklyn marched up to her & cleared her throat loudly, signaling that she wanted to talk to the b_ch. Amber turned slightly & chuckled at Brooklyn & Kentin, hand in hand in front of her. The girl put her hands on her hips & smirked. 'How can I help you twirp?', Amber said as her posy laughed. Brooklyn narrowed her eyes & held out one of her hands. 'I'm going to give you till the count of 5 to return Kentin's lunch money', Brooklyn said with a sneer. The blonde stared at Brooklyn's hand, & then looked at the girl. 'You're funny. As If i'd give back the money I don't have, Amber said turning to walk away.
Losing her temper, Brooklyn stepped forward & yanked Amber's hair, which made the girl fall to the floor, anger in her eyes. 'Oh you little~', Amber started saying, but was stopped when a man put his hand on Amber's arm, keeping her down. 'Amber, grow up okay? This girl is obviously new here along with the boy, so leave them alone', the silver haired boy said as he helped Amber up. She looked disgusted & humiliated, especially since a small crowd had formed around them. Amber glared at Brooklyn, her anger obviously saying, Next time you won't be so lucky.
Brooklyn smirked. Her eyes saying, That's my line Blonde B!^*#.
Watching the three walk away, Brooklyn turned to the man who had stopped the fight. She realized...
She was staring at his chest.
Looking more upwards, Brooklyn gasped. She knew this man. Well, not knew...but had seen him before. This being the third time, first time they spoke.
'Do I know you..?~', Brooklyn said, but stopped when the man had taken her hand & kissed it, like a prince. 'I'm sorry about Amber. She can be...problematic sometimes', the man said smiling into her eyes with his...green & gold ones?!.
'Hey! You're the~', Brooklyn started saying, but stopped, again, when the man put his finger to her lips. 'We'll talk another time. Stay out of trouble until then okay? Especially with Castiel~', the man said as he walked away.
Swiveling around, Brooklyn watched as the man exited the school to the courtyard, leaving her astonished and confused.
Nothing new.
Finishing her second day of school, Brooklyn closed her locker that was in the far hallway & walked towards the exit of the school, happy that the principal nor Nathaniel had learned about the small disturbance in the halls earlier on in the day. Sighing, the girl reached for her phone to text her grand-mere that she'd be late going home today. The anime addict wanted to actually check out the anime store today, instead of bumping into someone.
Turning the corner hallway, Brooklyn spotted Castiel & Nathaniel...
Again in a furious mood.
Ugh, I might as well go see what's up...though i'd rather not, Brooklyn thought as she ran over to them.
'Accept your responsibilities you~'
'Yeah i'll accept them and give you what you deserve when you p*ss me off, you just wait!~'.
Brooklyn heard these voices, & then saw Castiel shove Nathaniel up against a locker, ready to pound his face in.
'STOP! STOP IT!', Brooklyn cried out as she tried going between them, but Castiel just pushed her away.
'Mind your own business princess. I'm dealing with a royal pain in the *ss right now!', Castiel said. Brooklyn shook her head. 'Castiel c'mon. Violence, though a good way to solve things, shouldn't be used in school. C'mon, let's go~', Brooklyn said grabbing Castiel's hand and literally pulling him away from Nathaniel.
Out of the corner of her eye, Brooklyn saw Nathaniel gape at her & brush his shirt off. What a goody goody, Brooklyn thought as she went to the exit of the school.
Coming outside, Brooklyn let go of Castiel's hand and finally turned to him, hands on her hips in anger. 'What the h3! was that?! You want to get expelled?!', Brooklyn said. It didn't get the response she wanted out of him though. 'You're so cute when you're angry Brookie', Castiel said trying to grab her hand again, but she pulled it out of the way, facepalming. 'Listen you brat. I've known you for a long time, and you're smarter than that. Whatever your reason is to hate Castiel, take it outside, not in there okay? And stop calling me Brookie. Why does everyone keep calling me that...', Brooklyn said, the last part more to herself. This got a smile out of the rebel. 'Yeah whatever you say Princess', Castiel said smirking. She wanted to wipe that smirk off his face right now. 'Ughh. I know you won't listen, but at least TRY to this time okay? See ya~', Brooklyn said in bitterness as she turned and walked down the street, away from the annoying red head and towards the anime shop.
In front of the store, Brooklyn smiled and started to head to the door, but stopped when she heard her name being called. 'I swear if Castiel followed me...', Brooklyn murmured to herself, but stopped when she saw who it was. 'Brookie! Hi! I was wondering if you wanted to hang out again~', Kentin said, his face flushed from running towards her, & probably just seeing her. 'Sure. Just let me get a few things first okay?', Brooklyn said smiling. The mushroom cut boy looked up at the Anime shop. 'You like this stuff Brookie? I didn't know that. Well, maybe I did actually...', Kentin said as he started walking to the door, but stopped when Brooklyn took his hand, making him flush even more. 'Kent-
Kenny, why did you move to France?', Brooklyn asked the boy, a bit flushed herself but not too much, she was just embarrassed at being nosy for once.
'Hmm? I thought it was obvious.
It was to be around you silly!
Now let's go Brookie! I'll get you something~'
'Oh no Kentin! That won't work anymore!', Brooklyn said her famous line to him as the two finally went into the anime shop, staring at all it's delicious otaku-ness.
When they were younger, Kentin would always try buying Brooklyn things, like bracelets, cookies, & ice-cream. Of course, she'd always say no, but he'd end up buying it for her anyways..
This was one of those moments..
Across the street from the Anime shop was the local {and only} Clothing Store in Sweet Amoris. From the windows, a dark haired male was observing the two closely...wondering if they'd be his customers soon...
