Chapter 3
Another day, another date with destiny, the purple haired girl thought as her & her Fairytail bag made it's way into anther day at Sweet Amoris High. The red orbed girl was texting away on her cellphone when a familiar voice caught her immediate attention.
'Brookie! Brookie I've been looking everywhere for you!', Kentin yelled out, tears running down his face. Brooklyn blinked, then narrowed her eyes. 'Kentin school hasn't even started~
And why are you crying...again?
Did Amber do something to you!
I swear if she did that bitch!', Brooklyn started to say, but stopped when Kentin grabbed her shoulders. She could feel him shaking; his sobs came from his very soul. 'N-No...
My...father is taking me out of this school...
Because I couldn't stand up for myself...
He doesn't want me to shame him anymore~', Kentin sputtered out, his swirly glasses transfixed on Brooklyn's shocked face.
'What do you mean Kentin? He can't just take you out like that! Where is he, i'll change his mind!', Brooklyn yelled out, but Kentin shook his head. 'No...No Brookie, this'll be a good thing. That way, the next time something bad happens, i'll be able to protect you. You can lean on me. I can care for you better', Kentin said, his tears an ever flowing fountain. Brooklyn smiled & wiped some of them away from his face, nodding her head. Kentin smiled & blushed a little. 'Here. I got this for you the other day. Remember me Brookie! I'll come back for you!~', Kentin said blushing as he kissed her on the cheek & ran out the front door. 'Hey! Wait Kentin!', Brooklyn said running after him and unto the front of the school. She was about to yell his name again, when she suddenly saw a dog come across her path. 'Eh? What's a dog doing at school?', Brooklyn said to herself, but looked back at the street where she last saw her best friend.
He was gone.
Suddenly feeling her own tears wash down her face, Brooklyn hastily wiped them away, not used to the feeling of openly showing her feelings. Brooklyn then looked down at her hands, which were covered in presents. I'll have to open these later, Brooklyn thought as she walked back inside heading to her locker...
'Miss! Excuse me Miss Elizabeth! Why didn't you catch my poor Kiki?!', Brooklyn heard a familiar voice yell out. The girl turned to see the grey haired principal yelling at her, a fist in the air. 'If he gets away, it's your fault! I place you in command to finding him!, the grey haired woman yelled out, glaring at Brooklyn with a 'shooting-daggers-at-yo-face' look. 'Sure...Whatever crazy face', Brooklyn muttered, looking at the principal with a horrific face. Since when was the principal a physco bitch?!
How the hell do I get in the middle of these things?!, Brooklyn thought...
Pushing away the doors to the courtyard, Brooklyn looked towards the gym, & then towards the Gardens, but didn't see that same tan coloured dog that just happened to be the principals. But, she did see one thing.
Or, more literal, she saw one person.
Castiel
'Hey...
Are you and Nathaniel alright now?
Why were you two fighting anyhow?', Brooklyn said when she had come over to where Castiel was. He had been lying down on the courtyard bench, dozing off. But the red head quickly stood & leaned over Brooklyn when she had started speaking.
'Nathaniel & I, dear Princess, will never be 'alright now', Castiel said, trying to mock Brooklyn's voice, sounding eerily like Amber.
Brooklyn glared at him, which made him smirk but continue.
'As for the fighting, I guess I can tell you sweetheart.
Dear old Prince Charming was getting on my case for not signing a note or whatever. I finally did though, no thanks to you.
But...', Castiel said, stopping for a moment to brush back Brooklyn's violet coloured hair, 'I guess a sort of thanks should be in order for getting my ass out of there eh?
I owe you Brooki~
Brooklyn. Which isn't something I like to do', the red head finished, swishing away another free strand that had been freed by the slight wind & stuffing his hands in his pockets, walking to the school building.
...Jerk..., Brooklyn thought as she sighed.
'Oh, one more thing~', Castiel said now at the entrance to the school. 'I saw Kiki enter the school, if that helps', he finished off. 'You still owe me you douche!' Brooklyn said grinning as she ran into the gardens instead of the school, catching a glimpse of Castiel smirking after her.
Upon entering the gardens, Brooklyn's ruby orbs saw something silver glinting near a daisy in the sunlight. Walking over to it, Brooklyn saw that it was a leash. 'Must be Kiki's. This'll help~', Brooklyn said as she hung on to it & made her way back into the school.
Brooklyn knew a few things about animals, especially dogs, so the girl wasn't too nervous about finding Kiki...
Walking into the cleared-out hallways, a familiar tanned dog could be seen just down the hall. 'Kiki!', Brooklyn yelled to the dog, but he just ran away. 'Ah! Son of a~', Brooklyn muttered and ran after the dog into a classroom, tripping over a book. This day couldn't get any worse, Brooklyn thought. 'Oh! Oh i'm so sorry! Kiki just ran in here making me lose my grip on the book! Oh, here let me help you~', an orange haired girl said as she kneeled beside the purple haired girl, a smile on her face. Taking her hand, Brooklyn got up & brushed off the dust on her pants, then looked at the girl. 'Oh! You're the new student who's always around Kentin right? I'm Iris! Nice to meet you Brooklyn!', Iris said taking Brooklyn's hand again and shaking it happily. 'Uh yeah hi. Nice to know i'm popular', Brooklyn said sarcastically but not rudely, making Iris laugh. 'That's an understatement; after what happened yesterday with you & Amber, you're the talk of the school! No one stands up to Amber; not one person's even tried hitting her. And not just because she's Nathaniel's sister either~', Iris said grinning. Brooklyn blinked at her. 'Those blonde air heads are related? Huh. It's a small world', Brooklyn said as she bent down to retrieve Iris' book. 'Uh yeah. They're siblings. How's Kentin by the way? He seems to always get bullied. I heard he left though..?', Iris asked Brooklyn, concern written on her face. Brooklyn just shrugged, trying not to let the hurt show on her face. 'Yeah, he left. Something about going to military school~
Anyways, I have to find Kiki. Nice meeting you~', Brooklyn said quickly, not feeling like talking about her best friend that had just left her. Iris nodded & smiled. 'If you want to talk, i'll be here', Iris said putting her book on a desk. Brooklyn just nodded & walked out of the classroom.
Walking out of the classroom, Brooklyn saw Kiki running in a circle, trying to catch his tail. 'Hey Kiki! Come here!', Brooklyn said, slowely walking up to the dog, but he ran away again. 'Ugh! Stupid dog~', Brooklyn yelled as she ran after him into the next hallway~
'Oh well would you look who it is? Miss Heartbreaker & dog snatcher!', Amber said to her friends who laughed as Brooklyn rounded the corner. Oh great, Brooklyn thought. 'Listen you little brat. You got off nice & easy yesterday, but just try and pull what you did again & you'll get it. I swear to you you will', Brooklyn said, quickly running after the dog, leaving the other one behind...
Running back into the courtyard, Brooklyn stopped to think about how to catch the dog. 'Well dogs love food...
Maybe that'll get him to come to me', Brooklyn muttered as she saw Castiel walking out of the gym, a frown on his face. 'What's with the frown? Not getting your way Cassie?', Brooklyn said chuckling as Castiel neared her. Too late did Brooklyn notice that Castiel didn't stop walking. He walked right up to her, pushing her against a tree, much like her first day there. 'No princess, not at all. I'm sure you could change that for me couldn't you?', Castiel said as he leaned down to put his face into her hair, holding her against him as If the world were on his shoulders. 'E-Eh?! What are you up to you~', Brooklyn said, but was cut off by Castiel pulling back to stare at her. Both their ruby orbs gleaming into the others. He smirked when she didn't pull away. 'Ohh Brookie, don't tell me you have feelings for me too? I don't need another fangirl~', Castiel said as he tried closing the space between them. At the spur of the moment, Brooklyn pushed Castiel away, making him stumble back & let her get away from the tree and into freedom. 'Ugh! No way! You're too much of an ass for that~
I have a question though~', Brooklyn said, which made Castiel's eyebrows raise. 'You wouldn't happen to have any dog food on you, would ya?
And...why do you keep bothering me like that?...
It's awkward', Brooklyn said crossing her arms. Castiel stared at her, but then told her what she needed to know. 'Yeah I've got some. I'll give it to you~
To fulfill my payment of owing you a favour, got it?
Why do you always ask more than one question Brookie?'.
Brooklyn shrugged. 'Because I can. And thanks', Brooklyn said, grabbing the dogfood from his hand. 'But you still didn't answer my second question'.
'Another time perhaps~', Castiel said, looking at the sky. The purple haired girl scrutinized him, and then shrugged. 'Whatever. See ya', Brooklyn said as she ran back into the school..
When she had left, Castiel looked back to where the girl went, & frowned. 'The day I tell you that is the day i'm finally honest, Brooklyn~' Castiel muttered and went to sit on his bench seat to take a nap~
Finally stopping in the gardens to take a break from running around, Brooklyn spotted a boy with green hair & jade coloured eyes walking towards her angrily.
'Hey! Are you the one in charge of this club? The flowers are all dying because of your neglectfulness!', the man said once he was in front of Brooklyn. The purple haired girl narrowed her eyes. 'Hey I just joined this club myself. I'm not in charge of anything. You look like you'd be the one in charge though', Brooklyn said crossing her arms. The boy smiled at that. 'Sorry. I'm a bit irritated at whoever's in this club to not be taking care of the plants. My name's Jade. I come here from time to time to check up on the gardening club, bring soil, fertilizer, stuff like that. I know a girl named Iris is in charge of seeding. Would you mind asking her for the seeds?', Jade asked with a soft smile on his tanned face. 'Y-Yeah sure. I'll be right back~', Brooklyn said, & started running to find Iris...
On the way to finding Iris, Brooklyn stopped in the Castiel-less courtyard to stop under a tree when she saw Kiki peeing on a bush. The ruby orbed girl stalked up to the dog & caught him. 'Haha! Success! You, my friend, are irritating!', Brooklyn said with a grin on her face as she went to take Kiki to the principal...
After giving Kiki back to the grey haired woman, Brooklyn went into Classroom A to see Iris. 'Hey Iris. Do you have the seeds for the Gardening Club? Jade asked me to get them~', Brooklyn said smiling at Iris as she watched the girl go get them. 'Yeah sure! Here you go~
I heard you caught Kiki! That's the fastest anyone's ever caught him! You're a pro or something!', Iris said. Brooklyn just smiled at this & left~
She didn't want to upset Jade even more, & Iris could talk for hours~
Finding Jade in the Gardens, already digging in to the soil, Brooklyn ran up to him, careful not to trip on the air. 'Hey! I brought the seeds!', Brooklyn said as she handed the box to Jade once he was standing. 'Oh good! There's so many different ones~
But some are missing. Would you mind doing another quick favour? Go buy some seeds at the dollar store', Jade asked kindly as he gave her $25.00. Brooklyn stared at the money incredulously. 'Are you sure you gave me enough?', Brooklyn said sarcastically. She was sure she didn't need to much money to buy seeds. Jade just shrugged. 'I don't know how much they cost. If there's change, keep it', Jade said as he bent down to till the soil again. Nodding her head at the air, Brooklyn nodded and started on her journey to the dollar store...
It turned out that seeds were only $12.00. So Brooklyn got quite a bit of change back. Running back to school, Brooklyn happily handed Jade the seeds, which he took happily as well. 'Thank you Brooklyn. Now I can get started on planting these seeds~', Jade said as he looked around for something. 'What's up?', Brooklyn asked concerned. Jade blushed a bit, 'I seem to have misplaced the notepad that has all the notes on how to seed and what not', Jade said, embarrassed that he lost it. Brooklyn shrugged & started running again.
She knew she'd have to find it if he was ever going to plant the seeds...
Finding the notepad in the classroom & briefly chatting with Iris again, Brooklyn ran back to the Gardens to see a happy Jade. 'Ah! You found it! What would I do without you Brooklyn! This club would be in ruins if it hadn't been for your help today', Jade said smiling as he bent down & plucked a pretty pink & white rose from it's stem & put it behind Brooklyn's ear. 'It's the least I can do to show my thanks', Jade said smiling as Brooklyn gently touched the newly grown flower.
Jade was extremely nice~
Across from the garden, a familiar silver haired man could be seen leaning against the lone tree with his arms crossed in the courtyard, spying on our friend Brooklyn while his friend Castiel sleeped, snoring loud enough to anger anyone around...
