11. Pervert Between Us
From the corner of my eyes, I saw Brian walk past me. I heard the chair of the desk behind me move. Brian was sitting behind me.
I wanted to talk to him. But I wouldn't. Maybe I should just forget what happened yesterday. It was nothing. He was just being an idiot. And he was drunk. Drunk people do stupid things, right? And I even doubted he remembered what happened.
Plus he had ignored me all day and had already got a new friend. So I had all the right to ignore him too. And he wouldn't want me to talk to him either. I was boring. So he'll get what he wanted. And anyways he has got Gemma to entertain him.
The teacher entered the class and started teaching us. I carefully took notes and concentrated on the class. Or rather tried to.
After an hour, she put the chalk down and instructed us about some homework and soon she was out of class. The students began to file out of the class too.
I placed the strap of my bag on my shoulder, well aware of Bria

"Hey! You ready?" I asked Claire. I had come to pick her up."Well yeah," She said. "I am so excited!""That Jake will be with me!" I finished her unspoken sentence, using the same level of excitement she used."Shut up!" She said, looking away. I saw a hint of red on her cheeks and smirked."Oh my God! You're blushing! Seriously, what did Jake do?" I wondered out loud.She didn't reply but instead turned into a tomato. I shook my head at her.We drove to Darren's place. We were all going to meet up there. Everyone was coming with us. Claire, Brian, Jake, Sam, Darren, Josh, Tyler and I. There were eight of us. Quite a party.We pulled up at Darren's and got out. I knocked on the door.A few seconds later, Darren opened the door."Hi," I and Claire said in unison."Hi," Darren said, hugging both of us."Has everyone made it here?" I asked."No. Some of the boys are still remaining, Brian and Sam," Dar
Something Between Us 13. Past Between Us
We sat there for a while, not talking. Just staring at the sea before us.Darren and Sam were back and were playing in the water. Claire was learning how to surf. Jake was teaching her. They looked cute together. Josh and Tyler were also surfing."Aren't you going in the water?" Brian asked me a few minutes later."Not now." I said. We had finished our coconut water and now the coconuts were resting between us.He nodded and got up, dusting off sand on his jeans. Was he going?"Want to take a walk along the beach?" He asked and extended his hand for me to take.I took his hand as he helped me up. His warm hand sent tingles down my spine which I tried to ignore.We started walking along the beach. Not many people were there. This beach was never crowded. Though it was a beautiful beach with a beautiful view of the sea, it still remained mostly deserted."What happened, Brooke?" Brian asked, his face turned in my direction.
Something Between Us 14. Long Drive Between Us
I was glad that I had not gone with Darren. It was quiet in the car. I and Brian were the only ones awake. Claire and Jake were asleep.Music was playing at a low volume in the background, unlike in Darren's car where the music must be blasting at full volume. I pitied Sam."This is boring," Brian whined from the driver's seat."There is nothing you can do about it. You're driving and Claire and Jake are sleeping," I said."Let's talk.""We did. The whole day." I reminded him."Some more.""About?""I don't know. What do you want to talk about?" He asked, glancing at me.I thought for a while. "Let's play twenty questions.""Okay. You start. No questions related to family.""Fine. Um...what is your favourite book?""I don't like reading books.""Seriously?" I asked him disbelievingly."Yeah. It's kind of boring and I don't see the point of reading books. What are we gonna do reading tha
Something Between Us 15. Kiss And Forget Between Us
Claire'sPOV:I was so damn sleepy. When I woke up, I was in a car. And Jake was there. He was staring at me. Over the few days we had known each other I have unusually grown closer to him too fast. I didn't think that it would do any harm though. It was not like he liked me or something, right?"Where are we?"He chuckled quietly. "We are at your house, of course.""Oh," I sat up straight. "What time is it?""Past one in the morning," He answered, glancing at his watch. I nodded."Brooke...is she home safely?" I asked, suddenly remembering her."Yes. Brian dropped her off at her house. I called him," he said and I nodded again."Um...you should go home too. You must be tired.""Yeah. I'll be leaving now," He nodded.I opened the car door and stumbled out of the car. Why was I so clumsy around hot guys like Jake?Jake got out of the car too, my bag in
Something Between Us 16. Heartbreak Between Us
Jake's POV:I liked her. I liked Claire. I still couldn't believe it. I kissed her, and the fact that she kissed me back only made my hopes rise far higher than should be. Maybe I could have a chance with her.I was eager to see her today. As soon as I reached school I hopped off my bike and went to my locker. Brian and Sam were already there.I think my enthusiasm was evident because Sam raised his eyebrows at me and asked, "What happened to you, bro? Did you get laid yesterday?"I scrunched up my nose in disgust. "I am not a fuckboy like you. I don't use girls. I don't know why I'm even friends with someone like you." I said, shaking my head."Same," Brian said.Sam chuckled and slapped my arm. His slaps are deadly, I tell you. "Ow! Don't do that." I said as rubbed my arm which he had slapped."You two love me and you two also need to grow up! You are seventeen and still not had sex!" He gave me a disbeliev
Something Between Us 17. Change Between Us
Brooke'sPOV:I didn't know what was going on anymore. Everything had changed. But for the worse.Last week was surreal. It was the best week of my life. And then suddenly, everything changed abruptly. It became a nightmare.What? How? Why? When?The questions jumped in my mind like freaking kangaroos. But there was no one to answer them.It had been a week since it happened. The ignorance, the kiss, Jake's face when Claire slapped him. Everything seemed like a very bad dream that shouldn't ever come true. Did it really happen?I wanted someone to tell me it was just a dream. I didn't want this.For seven days I saw a Jake who was not his usual self and even Claire had changed. It was surprising how seven days can change things rapidly.I saw Jake staring at Claire sometimes. I saw Claire staring at Jake sometimes. But they didn't talk at all. They were acting li
Something Between Us 18. Jealousy Between Us
I think I was overreacting. I couldn't ignore him just because he didn't want to tell me his history. But I was like that. If I told someone something about myself, I would want to know about them too.Maybe he wasn't ready to open up. Maybe something happened to him worse than what happened to me.I should give him some space.I closed my locker door and head to my first class. Maths.I entered the class and immediately spotted Darren and Josh talking about something. I plopped myself on the seat beside Darren's and he looked away from the conversation he was having with Josh and smiled at me."Hey," I said."Hey," He replied. When he didn't say anything further I raised my eyebrows."What were you two talking about?" I asked, turning around to face Josh."You know the party that Darren was going to throw two weeks ago?" Josh started."Um...what party?" I asked, confused. I didn't remember them talking about any party a
Something Between Us 19. Friday Fun Between Us
Today was Friday and this was the day of the week that mom and I had what we called 'Friday Fun Day'. This was a thing that mom and I did every Friday if we were free. Ryan never joined us on our Friday fun days because he thought that we do only 'girly' stuff on that day. So he just spends the day at his friend's house and returns late at night. He actually was rarely at home. He was either at school after classes to do football practice or at a friend's house doing God knows what. But of course, he had strict warnings to not to indulge in...inappropriate activities like sleeping with someone, drinking or smoking. He was just sixteen. Okay, okay turning seventeen in a week but still it didn't mean that he was allowed to do anything of that sort.So it was our Friday fun day as usual. We weren't able to do this thing for a few weeks now because we were so busy. After my hasty exit from school I had gone straight home. Ryan was leaving for his friend's house."Hey," I g
