"You can't back out, You agreed to be my butler for a whole week," I said as I stepped out of Henry's car. He rolled his eyes "I also have a life too. College student, remember?" He said and I shrugged "That sounds like a you problem brother dear." I said with a smirk before closing the door. He glared at me and flicked me off before driving out of the school parking lot. I turned around to find my best friend leaning against the pillar watching my brother's car drive away.
"I give you my blessing and this is what you do with it." I said in a teasing manner, she jumped and looked at me in shock, "Jeez Brooke, You can't just walk up on me like that ... I could've gone into shock." She said placing her hand over her chest. I giggled and hooked my arm in hers as we made our way inside the school. "Can't let you have all the fun." I said and she rolled her eyes "Yeah? Well, it's funnier when you're getting scared." She teased and I raised my brows "You sure about that? The last thing we need is a prank war part two and you know how that ended." I said with a smirk. Summer shivered and glared at me playfully as we reached her locker.
"I hate you." She mumbled as she put in her combination, "No you don't." I laughed, She mocked me before turning to me. Her arms occupied by the notebook and pencil holed she always carried around campus during school hours. "How was your weekend?" She asked as I walked her to her first class, "I whooped your boyfriends' ass in Mario Kart and made him my butler." I grinned. Her cheeks turned a dark shade of red "He's not my boyfriend." She said shyly, This time I rolled my eyes. "In my head, you guys are dating. You guys aren't as stubborn and I'm kind of looking for a way into that universe cause this one is painful." I said dramatically. She chuckled, "I'll tell him soon." She said "You better. Sheesh." I said. She sighed as we reached the door to her first period, "You're so lucky you don't have a first-period class." She said.
I shook my head, "Oh darling, I'm far from lucky. I wish I had a class this period." I said as I thought of how I was going to be spending my day today. Studying with a guy who thought my very own flesh and blood was my boyfriend. I rolled my eyes and gagged, Summer giggled "It can't be that bad." She said and I shook my head "It's absolutely atrocious." I mumbled. The final bell rang and I gave her a quick hug before heading towards the auditorium.
The school's theater teacher was cool with letting anyone sit in her classroom, whether they were on her attendance sheet or not. If we were skipping but wanted to participate ... She'd let us join in on the fun. If we were skipping and didn't want to be bothered, She'd let us hang in the very back and the only rule she had was ... No loud audio of any sort. I walked into the classroom and made my way towards the back of the classroom.
I sat down and popped my earbuds in and watched her 'teach' her class. She wasn't really into the whole teaching thing. From what I heard she'd let the students vote on what they wanted to do. Of course most of the time it was theater-related but it all seemed like fun, She's one of the favorites among the student body. After a few songs and almost ten minutes of watching her play games with her student, I pulled my phone out aimlessly scrolling on social media and occasionally playing random games. This was almost a relaxing time for me, one of the free times where I don't have to see Chris early in the morning.
If I saw Chris or he saw me, He would've tailed me for the rest of the day. Which wouldn't be much of a problem since I enjoy the company of his best friends but the extra baggage he called his girlfriend drives me insane and the last thing I need is to be popping a vein early in the morning. I kicked my feet up on the chair in front of me and looked back at the class who seemed to be calming down from the game they were playing. Ms. Thenpop returned to her class with a huge rope and said a few things.
The girls got on side of the rope and the boys got on the other side. My lips twitched as I watch the game of tug of war unfold before me. Some of the more flamboyant males even migrated to the girl sides for a bit more muscle power which seemed to help tremendously because the boys toppled over each other. I smiled as the girls cheered and teased the boys. They reminded me of myself and Henry.
I checked my phone and texted Henry,
You want to do me a favor and ask my best friend out on a date?
I knew he was in class and because of the nerd he is, He won't check his phone during class because god forbid a professor confiscates his phone. I looked back up to find the class going at another round, This time the two teams were well mixed within the genders. With my legs on the chair in front of me, I kind of reclined and watched the show go down. As I was watching, Someone plucked one of my earbuds from my ear. Offended, annoyed, and pissed ... I turned to the person who was holding my earbud.
Fucking Christian.
I glared at him and grabbed my earbud, "You must have lost your f*****g mind." I hissed and he smirked at me "Want to help me find it?" He joked, Hopping over the seat and sitting right next to me. "You don't go around pulling out people's earbuds like that. That's literally the most annoying thing you could do a human being." I whisper shouted, He shrugged staring straight ahead and waved at somebody. I looked up to find the ENTIRE class looking back at me. Some girls whispering to another while the boys blew kisses or waved back at Christian.
I stood up and walked out of the auditorium all while throwing an apology over my shoulder to both the class and Ms. Thenpop for disrupting her class. I heard footsteps behind me and I spun on my heels to face Christian, "Why can't you leave me alone?" I hissed, He raised his brows before giving me a playful grin. "Well, where's the fun in that?" He asked and I glared at him. "Can't you just let me breathe or something, Everywhere I go ... I see you." I snapped. His playful grin dropped but his brows were still raised.
"You have a whole girlfriend to cater to, Can't you just cling on to her and annoy her? I'm sure she'll love it." I said before turning on my heels again and walking off. I heard him chuckle, "If I didn't know any better, I'd say Brooke is jealous." He said. I scuffed then turned the corner and said loud enough for him to hear me,
"Good thing you don't know any better."
