Chapter 4
After that first day with Jade, Brooklyn was found in the Gardens quite a bit, helping him out with finding his things, buying soil or more seeds for the club, & just planting with the handsome tanned green haired male that was Jade.
Though it was sad that he only came twice a week, but still, it was fun & Brooklyn liked flowers more and more.
A few days later, Brooklyn had been digging up a spot to plant a tiger lily in the garden a few inches away from Jade, who was planting a yellow lily, when Brooklyn thought of something.
'Jade...how come you gave me a pink & white rose? Specifically a rose really?', Brooklyn asked him, not looking up from task but still asking the question loud enough for him to hear.
The purple headed girl could hear the green haired male clear his throat awkwardly, but answered her question none the less.
'Well actually, I did some research on what kind of flowers you preferred; please don't think that's weird! It's just I do that with everyone in the Gardening Club. It tells a little story about each and every person, don't you think?', Jade said as calmly as he could as he put the lily into the hole & started surrounding it with dirt.
But still...
'How did you know it was a rose though? Or..um..
THINK it was a rose?', Brooklyn asked him not giving up, turning her head to see his eyes on her, making her turn a bit red but held her gaze with his.
'Actually...
Castiel told me', Jade said standing up to brush his gloves hands, then started walking away to get the watering can.
Brooklyn quickly stood and gripped his arm, not wanting him to retreat from this; anger flashed in her eyes.
'Wait. You mean to tell me Castiel tells things about people to other people so easily?!' Brooklyn yelled, losing her tempter.
Jade turned and stared at her, shocked.
'No No! Brooklyn that's not it at all...
You know he's in the basketball club right?' Jade asked her, to which Brooklyn nodded and gestured for him to go on.
'Right. Well, we've seen eachother a lot. Don't really speak to each other but we say the occasional 'Hey, how's the club?' 'Anything new happening?' Stuff like that. But...right when he came here about two years ago, all that guy could talk about was you and some other chick, but mainly you~', Jade said trying to say this so that Brooklyn would calm down a bit, which she hadn't.
'So basically everyone knows me because he's the high school rebel and i'm his childhood friend who he couldn't shut his freakin trap about?! Well, alright then~', Brooklyn said letting go of Jades arm and backing away.
Jade shook his head.
'I...I know I may have said too much, but you wanted to know right?' Jade said sadly, the sparks usually in his eyes dimmed.
The ruby orbed girl saw this and calmed down, smiling at him and hugging him. 'Sorry Jade. I didn't mean to burst like that. But when it comes to Castiel...
Well, I get pretty pissed!', Brooklyn said pulling away and going back to her task, kneeling at the dirt spot and putting the tiger lily in the spot, glancing at Jade who winked at her & came back to water the lily's.
Closing her locker shut and readying to go home, Brooklyn walked down the hallways and turned the corner to head to the entrance of Amoris High, when she bumped into someone and was pushed back, landing on her butt. Getting ready to swear at whoever bumped her, Brooklyn looked up to see...
A middle aged man in front of her?
'Ah! Oh no! So sorry miss! Here, let me help you up~', the man said giving his hand to her as the ruby orbed girl took it, wiping the imaginary dust off her black skinny jeans. Scrutinizing the man in front of him, she saw a few things.
Black wavy hair.
Brown eyes.
Professor glasses.
Nerd outfit.
Yep, Brooklyn thought, definitely...
John Lennon
'Ah thanks', Brooklyn said after a moment. 'You wouldn't happen to be a student here would you?', John Lennon asked her. Brooklyn just stared blankly at him. 'No no i'm just a mother trucker who's life is so dull that I go to a high school because i'm bored. No, what did you think? Maybe he really is John Lennon..., Brooklyn thought. 'Yeah i'm a student here~', the girl said, putting her hands on her Fairytail bag straps, impatiently. 'Ah! So you could show me around yes? I'm the new teacher here & need a tour. If you wouldn't mind young lady. Ah, my name's Mr. Faraize~', John told the girl, who didn't seem the least bit interested. Brooklyn shrugged and started walking to the front entrance, John behind her. 'Alright then, i'll make it a quick one alright?
There's the main office where the principals office is~
There's the homeroom classroom~
Staff room~
Student council~', Brooklyn started saying, explaining the Student Council a bit more thoroughly, & went down each other the other hallways..
The last part of the school to show John was the courtyard and the two club areas. Pushing open the doors, a familiar red haired delinquent could be seen strumming a red guitar, looking bored. But his eyes travelled around the courtyard, finally meeting Brooklyn's red ones back, & giving her his wild smirk. 'Who's that? And is he allowed to play out here?, John asked the girl, who shrugged. 'Ah no one really~
And i'm pretty sure playing outside of the music club is against the rules, yeah', Brooklyn said loadly enough for Castiel to hear, who had heard the girl & scowled at her, making her laugh. 'Also, I wouldn't come here very often. Some people here aren't very nice~', Brooklyn started saying loudly again, but had stopped when Castiel had gotten off the bench, putting his guitar behind his back and had walked up to her. 'Well what are you talking about princess?', Castiel asked her with an evil smirk. 'Oh nothing~', Brooklyn said trying to hold back her laughter as she led John to the Gym and then Garden Club, finishing off the tour.
Trying now to go home, Brooklyn walked to the doors out of the courtyard when her hand was grabbed and she twisted away to be in front of Castiel again, a smug smirk on his face. 'So your going to tell me what you were talking about now right princess? And why with a teacher?', Castiel asked her holding tight to her hand as Brooklyn tried twisting away from his grasp. 'Ah no i'm not~
And I don't know, it's always me they ask some kind of favor from', Brooklyn said sighing but not stopping to get away from her old childhood friend. At this, Castiel chuckled and went on. 'Ah, that's because you look like the nice girl who would help out whenever she could. Which is partially true~', Castiel said howling with laughter as Brooklyn punched him in the gut, but was disappointed when that hadn't hurt him, but hurt her knuckles instead. 'Abs of steel babe. Wanna feel?', Castiel asked her grinning now as Brooklyn just kept saying, 'EW EW EW PERVERT!', and finally twisted away from him, running home to babysit Codi.
The next day, Brooklyn had just walked into Amoris High when she was met by Amber & her groupies, all smiling to themselves. 'Well well the famous twit of the school has finally arrived. Now, give me all the cash you've got on you~', the blonde bimbo said as Brooklyn just stared at her coolly, already noticing a crowd forming. Pretty much everyone knew the fight from before had happened between herself and Amber, so the kids probably thought another one would interrupt the halls.
'Excuse me bitch? Did I hear you right? Did you just DEMAND money from me?!', Brooklyn said calmly as Amber stared at her in annoyance. 'Do you really think i'm asking for it?', Amber said as she pushed Brooklyn to the ground, making the contents of her bag pour out on the floor. 'Ah let's see. $10 only? It'll have to do for now~', Amber said after she had taken Brooklyn's wallet, took the only dollar bill in there, & threw it unto the floor with the rest of Brooklyn's stuff, and left like nothing had happened.
Practically growling, Brooklyn let that slide this time, but the purple haired girl would get her revenge...
And soon...
After picking up the rest of her belongings from the floor with the help of Iris, Brooklyn stood up and brushed off her pants, a common habbit, & looked up to see...
Castiel
'You're always freakin watching me you creep~', Brooklyn murmured as the male leaned against the lockers looking smug. 'So princess, do you have any pocket money for me too?', Castiel said still with a smugness all over his face. Brooklyn just stared at him and tried walking away, but he grabbed her arm. 'Ah come on, I was joking'. 'I don't find that very funny…'. 'What are you going to do now?'. 'I'm going to find a way to get revenge on the blonde bimbo!' 'Ah, any ideas?'. 'Not at the moment...'. 'Well, good luck with that Brookie~', Castiel finished and let go of her wrist, walking away. 'STOP CALLING ME THAT!', Brooklyn yelled and went to homeroom, wanting to read some fairytail~
Going into the classroom, Brooklyn spotted Iris in a corner with her Ipod touch. The ruby orbed girl went over to her & told her about her day, how Amber stole money from her & how she wanted revenge. Iris had suggested dressing the same way as Amber, which Brooklyn thought was a pretty good idea at the time, & told Iris this, which made the orange haired girl smile & show Brooklyn what she was wasting her time on~.
Leaving the classroom, Brooklyn wondered if Amber's brother Nathaniel knew how she treated other people. So sighing regretfully, Brooklyn walked to the S.C. room & chatted with him about Amber. He didn't seem surprised, but Nathaniel seemed put off about what to do about it, so he just gave Brooklyn $15.00 to cover for it & told her that he had a lot of work to do. What a jerk, Brooklyn thought as she walked out of that room and back to the hallways. Back to Castiel.
'So, did you get revenge on those snobs?', Castiel had asked as the two old friends started chatting again. 'No, I don't have a good idea yet'. 'But it's not that hard to figure out…'. 'If you have some sort of idea, tell me you douche!' 'Hmph. I don't know…I haven't given it any thought…'. 'Yeah right. Now tell me the truth~'. 'Pffft! You should graffiti her locker and put something she hates in it, okay?!'. 'Ok, graffiti her locker! And for the something that she hates?'. 'I don't know Amber, and I don't really care so figure something out yourself'. 'Wow okay, thanks for all your supposed help~
But you're helping me ya little douche'. Castiel narrowed his eyes at this one. 'And why is that princess?'. 'Because I said so. Now, do you have any spray paint? Or maybe some toy bugs?', Brooklyn finished off as she grabbed his wrist and demanded to know where his locker is.
The red haired male DID end up having spray paint, but not the bugs, so Brooklyn had ended up running to the dollar store to get some, & then ran back.
After, when everyone was in class, Castiel & Brooklyn went to Amber's locker and did the dirty deed, Brooklyn grinning wickedly & Castiel just shaking his head, wondering why he had said yes to helping her~
Unfortunately, this was when the principal had come and had ended up exploding on the two. Something along the lines of, 'I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS', 'DEFACING SCHOOL PROPERTY?!', & then lastly, 'YOU ARE BOTH GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT FEW HOURS CLEANING THIS MESS!'. Brooklyn sighed; she should've known...
'Anywhere you are is trouble', Brooklyn said to Castiel as the two watched the janitor go to get some spray paint remover. The red haired male smirked, 'Well, that might be true~
And I can't stay. I have somewhere to be', Castiel said as he started walking down the hallway. 'Oh no you don't!', Brooklyn yelled, grabbing his wrist and pulling him back so that he was facing her angered expression. 'We both got into this, so we're BOTH cleaning this mess up, alright?', Brooklyn said menacingly as Castiel's mouth twitched into a smug smile. He then pushed Brooklyn back against the lockers, pinnig her there;the hand that had been gripping his wrist now captured by his hand. 'And if I don't stay? What'll you do to me? Punish me?', Castiel said, his eyes full of twisted snarkiness &...something Brooklyn still didn't understand.
Looking up at his eyes, Brooklyn was caught. The ruby orbed girl just kept looking into his, not even bothering to try & hurt him. We're in school~
He'll just get into more trouble..., Brooklyn thought as Castiel started leaning down. His lips were hovering just over her own as the sound of the janitor's whistling could be heard from just the next hallway.
The two broke apart & stood far away from each other, ready to be finished with this task that they had been ordered to do~
FINALLY walking home from an exhausting day, Brooklyn remembered what Iris had suggested. 'Go to the clothing store in town and buy her designer clothes! She'll get so mad!'
Brooklyn laughed at the memory of sweet little Iris saying that.
Crossing the street, Brooklyn walked a few more steps until she was in front of the only clothing store in town. Apparently, they had really good, designer clothes. But they weren't cheap...
'Let's just go see what's in here~', Brooklyn said to herself as she opened the door, not expecting what she saw.
Walking into the shop, Brooklyn's eyes roamed over the hundreds of different tops, shoes, pants, and many different things in there. Aisle through aisle she went, skimming over the different fabrics and what not. A few things she actually found she liked, so Brooklyn picked up a few pairs of shirts & some pants, walking to the back of the store, assuming that's where the change rooms were.
Getting to the back, Brooklyn saw a dark haired male with a purple & brown Victorian era look in a certain pose. His one hand in a fist at his chin, the other holding his elbow as if in thought. Turning her gaze away from him, Brooklyn's heart stopped & her mouth went slack. In front of her was someone she knew.
Blue swirly glasses.
A green long sleeved shirt with a single stripe in the middle.
Blue slacks.
'K-Kentin?!'
