Brooklyn sat down in her last lesson of the day and pouted.Math.She despised math.Violet had told her she was also in this class, but she had been called into work early so she couldn't make it today."So it's true," a guy said confidently, sliding into the seat next to Brooklyn."Um... What's true?" Brooklyn asked, eyeing the guy cautiously."That you're even hotter close up," the guy smirked and Brooklyn laughed, rolling her eyes."Flattery will get you everywhere," she said sarcastically.The guy smiled and held his hand out. "I'm Josh, I just wanted to meet the girl who has Stacy throwing a fit."Brooklyn looked at Josh's hand and fidgeted awkwardly. "Sorry, it's not you... I'm just not a toucher," she said."No problem," Josh shrugged."What do you mean about Stacy?" Brooklyn wondered."She doesn't like you. She thinks you're a threat," Josh said and looked Brooklyn up and down. "I don't blame her.""Keep the eyes up or my threat will become reality," Brooklyn warned and snap
"Um... Bye," Brooklyn said quickly and closed the door in Harry's face. She gasped when his foot shot forward and stopped the door from closing."I don't get a thank you?" Harry asked as he pushed the door open."For what?""For the whole evening I spent tutoring you, babe.""Oh, yeah," Brooklyn said and glanced over her shoulder. "Thanks, surprisingly it helped slightly. Now, goodbye Harry.""Why are you in such a rush to get rid of me, Brooklyn?" Harry asked."Brandon," Brooklyn blurted. "He'd kill me if he saw you here.""Don't worry about Brandon," Harry scoffed."You don't have to live with him," Brooklyn sighed. "Please go, Harry.""Okay. On one condition.""What?""You let me pick you up tomorrow.""No," Brooklyn said immediately."Then I guess I'm chilling here," Harry shrugged and Brooklyn sighed."Fine. Yes, pick me up! Now go. Now!""Laters, babe," he smirked and walked off, chuckling lowly under his breath as he did so.*Brooklyn cursed when she woke up, sleeping past her
"Don't tell anyone," Brooklyn said suddenly. "You can't tell anyone what you found out."Harry's eyes hardened. "Why the fuck would I do that to you?"Brooklyn shrugged her shoulders. "To piss me off. Annoy me."Harry rolled his eyes. "Trust me, I have plenty of other ways to do that. I would never tell anyone what I found out, Brooklyn. Just like I would never push you for details, I know you will tell me when you're ready.""You always seem so sure," Brooklyn commented."I know you, babe," Harry smirked. "Like I said, I'm in your head."*"Again?" Sasha demanded, sitting next to Brooklyn in French class. "He drove you again?""How does this stuff spread so quickly?" Brooklyn groaned. "I totally planned on walking to school, but he was there. Waiting.""That's a bit stalkerish," Sasha commented."He was also at my house yesterday," Brooklyn said lowly and Sasha's eyes widened."Tell me everything!" Sasha demanded."Miss Mental wants him to tutor me," Brooklyn explained. "My aunt let
Much to Brooklyn's surprise, she wasn't as good as hiding as she thought.Eyes followed her through the school halls and she groaned when she heard whispers about her and Harry.This was all his fault.Brooklyn gritted her teeth and stopped by her locker. She stuffed her books inside and shut the locker, spinning round to see Harry. "Jesus!" She gasped. "Leave me alone!""You're standing by my locker," Harry said in a low drawl and pointed to the locker beside Brooklyn. Brooklyn flushed slightly and quickly stepped to the side, leaving room between then as Harry stepped forward and opened his locker. "You do realise it is very obvious when you see me in the corridor, duck and then rush away.""I-I've not done that!" Brooklyn lied and Harry raised an eyebrow."Oh, I'm must be imagining things," he said sarcastically. "You can't hide from me, Brooklyn.""You do realise this is all your fault?" Brooklyn snapped and gestured to the students around them, whispering and blatantly staring."
"If he comes near I'll spit at him," Alice warned as she linked her arms through Brooklyn's as they walked out of school. "I'll spit in his awful beautiful face."Brooklyn laughed and Sasha rolled her eyes. "You're an animal," Sasha said and linked her arm through Brooklyn's other."No, I'm a classy dignified lady," Alice objected and stuck her tongue out at Sasha."Where's Violet?" Brooklyn wondered."She's going with Jasper," Sasha said and looked across the carpark to where Violet was getting into a car with Jasper. "I spoke to Tyler and Austin, they're meeting us there.""Can I drive your car, Sash?" Alice asked eagerly as we stopped by Sasha's baby blue car."You can do no such thing," Sasha said. "Judith is my baby.""Judith?" Brooklyn laughed. "Nice name.""I thought so," Sasha smirked and her eyes widened. "Harry alert behind you! Don't look- and she looked."Brooklyn's eyes landed on Harry as he strolled out of school, looking like he didn't have a care in the world. She spot
Brooklyn was happy when she left her house the next morning; she had received an email from Ben confirming her new job and her shifts for the next week, the sun was shining, she had managed to contain her unruly curls so they fell down her back and she thought she looked damn cute in her denim skirt and flowery top.Brooklyn slipped her sunglasses on and shut the door behind her, hitching her bag higher up on her shoulder.She was in such a good mood she only slightly frowned when she saw Harry parked outside her house."Please, don't do this," Brooklyn called. "Just stop it.""Stop what?" Harry asked. "Get in.""No.""We've done this before," Harry tutted. "I always win, now get in."Brooklyn shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm not moving until you get the hell away from my house, Harry.""If you want to skip school, that's fine by me," Harry shrugged and leaned back in his chair and raised an eyebrow at Brooklyn."I'm not going anywhere with you," Brooklyn said
Harry passed Brooklyn an ice cream and she raised her eyebrows. "A 99p flake? You cheap bastard," she said with a roll of her eyes. "Thanks.""I can always take it back," Harry shrugged and Brooklyn gasped when he snatched the ice cream from her hands."No, no, no!" She said quickly and tried to grab it. "I want it!""I don't think you deserve it," Harry said and held the ice cream from Brooklyn's grasp."Harry!" She whined. "Just give me the damn ice cream.""Not good enough," Harry said and smirked when Brooklyn pouted."Please?""Getting better," he nodded."Pretty please with a cherry on top," Brooklyn said dramatically."You're lucky I'm feeling nice," he warned and passed Brooklyn the ice cream back."Thanks," she said sarcastically and savoured the chocolately goodness as she took a bite of her flake."When do you start work?" Harry asked."Monday," Brooklyn said and turned to Harry with a frown. "How do you know I have a job?""It's a small town," Harry said dismissively. "Peo
Harry opened his trunk and grabbed a spare tshirt. "Here," he said and passed it to Brooklyn. "Change inside the car, the windows are tinted.""This is your top," she said."I'm pretty sure you don't want to stay in those wet clothes," Harry said and shut the trunk and opened the car door for Brooklyn. "Get dry, you don't want to make yourself ill.""Thank you," Brooklyn mumbled and climbed into the car, shutting the door behind her. She quickly changed out of damp clothing, keeping her underwear on and pulled Harry's top over her head. When she was changed she exited the car and saw Harry in a dry pair of jeans and a dry shirt."Ready?" He asked and Brooklyn nodded and got into the passenger seat as Harry sat in the drivers. "I bet you're glad you didn't go to school now."Brooklyn shrugged her shoulders. "I was rather looking forward to seeing Josh," she said slowly, waiting for Harry's reaction.He tensed and gripped the steering wheel tighter. "Oh really?""Really," Brooklyn nodde
