My breath hitches, Brandon looks at me like I'm prey,his very potential meal.
Ronan pulls me to him, introducing me to a friend of his from our school. I move my eyes to his to avoid coming out as rude.
"Hi I'm Kimberly."
"Hi Kimberly,it's nice to meet you."
They start chatting and I excuse my self.
I look to where Bran was and he's gone, where's he gone to?
I move to the doors and stare behind my back to make sure nobody's following or watching me.
I enter the red doors and find Brandon with his back to me.
"Brandon?"
I say carefully, he turns around and his gaze finds mine. He doesn't speak and neither do I. I lean against the door,my hand behind my back on the knob.
He dips his hands in the pockets of his slacks. He looks so handsome dressed like this,it's like they were specifically made for him.
"How are you? I haven't been seeing you around lately." He just stares at me
"Brandon.."
I walk towards him in careful steps stopping a few meters away.
"I'm sorry for how I acted towards you last time. I just want us to have a clear understanding and boundaries."
"I get that."
venom in his voice takes me by surprise,
"I-i just wanted to let you know that we don't have to start acting like strangers."
"Why are you really here Kimberly?"
"Bran.."
"Brandon." He corrects. "Don't you have somewhere to be? You left your boyfriend out there just to tell me this?"
I open my mouth but no words come out,it takes me a few seconds
"I'm sorry okay? I just can't do that to him,he's my boyfriend,I'm not a cheater,I don't want to be."
"Me neither." He says flatly
"What do you mean?"
I frown,my heartbeat accelerating.
He walks to stand in front of me
"I don't want to be either."
His eyes bounce between mine, I hold my breath hoping it's not what I think
"I have a girlfriend,I won't cheat on her. I don't want to."
He slaps me with my own words.
He starts to walk to the door and I quickly ask
"Who is it?"
He's doesn't turn when he answers
"Brianna."
And then he walks out the door,my knees shake and I lean on the wall placing a hand on my heart.
No.
BRANDON
Three days after the banquet,three days after I saw something I thought would please me,never knowing it would bring me the complete opposite. Pain.
The silent plea in her eyes and the silent desperation in her voice,I doubt she even realised it herself, her eyes hoped it wasn't Brianna but I just broke that fucking hope.
I groan then slide off Bree, lately I've been taking all my frustrations out using sex, I fuck and tell her to go the fuck home. I don't let anybody and I mean anybody sleep in my bed and that's not changing anytime soon
"Can you at least drive me home?"
She says,she doesn't bother hiding her tits. I look at the time and it's 10:30pm
"Get dressed." I say to her while I pull my sweatpants on.
After driving Bree home,I take a turn, going to a place I don't want to go to but still do.
It's becoming a habit, at first my excuse was finding out who the fucker stalking her really was, because he must be watching her every time if he's that obsessed with her. But then it turned into my obsession too, I admit I was obsessed with her but now that obsession has also spread to a watching her type of obsession.
She stands in front of the mirror,I can see the side of her face,she's so beautiful even with messy hair and baggy pajamas.
After I'm satisfied with her not being watched,I drive away.
"Hey baby."
Bree comes to my locker, she gets on her tip toes and I lean down to kiss her.
Samantha, Kim's best friend looks at us and frowns
"Samantha. You know it's rude to stare right?"
Bree folds her hands on her chest
"But then since you're so lonely no guy wants you,sorry but it's true. You can watch."
Sam is the no bullshit type of girl,so she really surprises me when she just grabs her books and walks past us.
That seems to have surprised Bree as well.
Three days pass,the tension between Kim and I gets thicker everyday.
When I'm with Bree in the hallway,in the Cafe,in class and at football practice. Her face either falls or her eyes shine with unshed tears. Every expression breaks my soul piece by piece.
"Hey can we talk?"
I turn and the source of the voice is Sam
"Hi."
I drop my hand on the desk,my pen beating the smooth board.
She slides in next to me
"I know it's non of my business,but Kim is my best friend."
I lift a brow. My eyes move to her fumbling hands ,I look back at her face and lean back in my seat.
"Shoot."
I say, she flinches. I keep staring at her face, i look patient but inside I'm not,when it comes to Kim I don't have patience,if some wanker harmed her he better be praying or be on a bus to some other town.
She blows out a breath
"I think something's wrong with Kim,she's been acting weird lately."
She looks around nervously
"She's been...she's been receiving weird messages, everytime her phone pings she looks around and starts to panic."
She stares at me with worry. I trace my upper lip with my index finger
"I know."
Her eyes widen and her lips part.
"You know?"
I nod
"I'm aware of it, I just have to figure out who the wanker is. If I do..."
trail off and slowly smirk at her.
Her face changes,she looks spooked and I understand. When a lot of people see me smirk like this,they get a glimpse of the psychopath from inside of me.
"Calm down Sam."
I run my tongue on my bottom lip.
"I'm not going to kill or anything."
She releases a small breath of relief
"But I'll reach him to the brink of death." I finish
Her eyes snap to mine.
"Brandon! No." She massages her temples
"Anything else?" I ask
"Yes"
I lean forward at her answer,she opens her mouth
"I suspect Ronan has bee-"
she snaps up straight and doesn't blink, I turn to follow her eyes and they land on Kim holding Ronan's hand.
He looks at Sam and I turn to observe her body language, she fumbles with her books,breaking eye contact and slides out of the seat quickening her pace to her usual seat.
I look back at Ronan, his eyes are still staring at Sam's back.
What did you do Ronan? I think to myself.
Kim doesn't look at me the entire day,in class,cafeteria,hallways and the field. How the tables have turned. She cheers Ronan in her hot purple and white cheerleading outfit.
She shouts
"Go Number one!"
I turn and look at her,glaring till my eyes turn to slits.
"Go Eleven!! A few girls shout."
"Go baby!"
Bree shouts and I wink at her,she beams at me and her friends do that girly thing they do for no reason
"Awwww."
"Omg I envy you girl!"
"You guys are like, perfect for each other."
"Bran!" I look at my side and Sam waves me over.
I jog to where she and Kim stand.
"Hey!" She greets cheerfully
"Hey Sam what's up?"
I haven't been able to corner her so she could finish whatever she wanted to say about Ronan.
"You play good,I always root for you."
I lift a brow in surprise
"For real,since day one. Kim knows that,right Kim?"
She elbows her abit
"What?"
She acts like she wasn't listening to everything we were just saying.
"I'm telling Bran I've always been a fan since day one."
Kim blinks rapidly
"Tell him Kim." She smiles,
Kim looks at her friend,I can tell she's trying her hardest not to look at me.
"Yeah."
Is all she says and looks straight on the field trying her hardest not to look nervous. It pisses me off when she avoids even the simplest eye contact,so just to be a dick I poke her.
I take a step forward and reach out my hand into Sam's hair.
"You should probably re-dye these strands beautiful."
I study her face while I smooth my finger through the light pink highlight. Kim's head snaps to me, I can see her from the side
"How come I never noticed? You're very gorgeous Samantha."
Sam freezes, I stare deep into her eyes making silent communication,she must catch on because she changes from shocked to shy. Shy pretence
"Oh. Thanks Bran."
She almost touches me when a tiny hand slaps mine away from her, hard. Sam gasps
