'I'm in your P.E. class and you've been doing a plank for 5 solid minutes, are you an Olympian or something??' AU
Briar's pov:
"I feel as if you've been doing plank for 5 hours now", i say to the new guy. In my defence, this was not just some weak pick-up line to try chatting with him since he really had been doing plank since i got here.
"Nah, it had only been 4 minutes and 17 seconds, 19, 20, 21...", the guy answers me without looking up.
"Are you and Olympian or something?", i ask bewildered, "Jason over there would kill to be able to stay in plank more than two minutes." Jason was the kind of clichéd football player that walked straight out of a teen-movie or book. You know the one, the guy where every girl wants him and every guy wants to be with him but is actually just an asshole, but then turns out he has a tragic past and some girl "fixes him". Well Jason is just a dick, really. Nothing tragic about him at all, save his non-existent six pack.
Now the new guy, Myles my best friend said his name was, does look up. Not at me though, but at the guy i had pointed at with my hand, a movement that he must have caught in his peripheral vision. "So, that's what he's called. That guy has been glaring at me since the second week i got here. Don't know where i wronged him."
"It's because you're getting all the female attention that is normally saved for him."
"Yeah well, that's not really my fault. Just means that this school doesn't get a lot of new pupils. And anyways, that girl is still pining after him. Although i don't know if pining is the right word, more like lusting." He says, while still in plank, may i add.
"Yes, uhm... That's my best friend though." Jessy has had a crush on him since freshmen year when they had to do a project together, he wasn't that hot back then, but she claims his personality was completely her type. I can't see it, neither can i see the appeal he has on girls, he isn't even that hot. Now Myles, he was hot, and i was not the only one that had noticed.
"Oh", a pause sounded, "Sorry then."
"Nah, i get what you mean. I've been trying to convince her to get over it, him, them, but to no avail i suppose. She claims she felt a connection back in freshman year when they were paired up together for a project." I stare off into the distance where i can see Jason and Jessy talking together with two of his friends. I do have to admit that they'd make a pretty hot couple, even if i do say so myself.
Myles smirks, "So like, teen-movie style?"
"That's exactly what i said", i laugh. This summer holiday we had had a sleepover party and talked about boys, that was the first time she had brought Jason up since freshman year. I had immediately made the same connection Myles' had just now. I shake my head fondly at the memory.
"But you support her, in this... mission to make him break his quote unquote facade", he concludes.
"Of course, isn't that what best friends are for? Supporting them in the most impossible missions or ideas they just came up with?"
"No i don't think that's the definition actually."
"Then what is? Oh wise-one? Also how long have you been doing plank?" I ask, because he was still in that position.
"Well, i looked it up in the online dictionary once and it was something like this: "Best Friends are very special people in your life. They are the first people you think about when you make plans. They are the first people you go to when you need someone to talk to. You will phone them up just to talk about nothing, or the most important things in your life. When you're sad they will try their hardest to cheer you up. They give the best hugs in the world! They are the shoulder to cry on, because you know that they truly care about you. In most cases". And it's been 6 minutes more or less.3
"How did you even remember that definition? Is this a thing you do with your life, 'Cause sorry, but that's really sad. And how long are you going for?
"It was just something that really stuck because it was one of the most clichéd things i had ever read or heard, but now that place is filled with your best friend-Jason love story. I am going for eight minutes, but i'm not gonna make it."
"My best friend's name is Jessy by the way, and you're welcome for that. Holy fuck eight minutes, is that like a record or something?"
"Their names are alliterated? Is there anything more romantic, we should come up with a shipname or something. And no the record is 5 hours, 15 minutes and the some seconds." He says while finally relaxing and laying facedown on the ground, a clear sign of his fatigue.
"Then why are you putting yourself trough this misery? If you answer "for fun" i am going to have to kill you, just FYI."
"Not for fun at all, just a bet with my best friend."
"That's me!" A guy i hadn't noticed that was standing behind me yells. "Wow, Myles you've been here a month and you already got the attention of the most popular and most beautiful girl in this school, good job mate."
"Shut up Dev, i'm not the most beautiful, nor most popular." I say.
"You two know each other?" Myles asks bewildered.
"Yeah, we dance together. He's actually my most dance-partner most of the time", I smiles.
"What a coincidence that Myles is starting to dance there too, starting next month to be specific. Then u guys can work this sexual tension out there or not there but like after, 'cause i'm sorry Briar, but i am going to have to borrow your man."
Myles blushes but gets up after him and follow him, giving me a shy wave in goodbye. Tonight will be one of the first nights i actually have to say something about my "love life" to Jessy.

QOTD: Talk about the first ship you ever had: The first ship i ever had was the one most people shipped first, Gabriella and Troy. I shipped them before i knew what shipping was and i still ship them 'till this day, every year i watch one of the HSM's at least once with one of my best friends. Even though the movies are awkward as hell, now that i rewatch them. The first ship i shipped once i knew what shipping was was STYDIA from TW, and they're CANON now thank the gods.
ABOUT UPDATES: i may actually update twice this week because I!HAVE!A!WEEK!VACATION!!! Life is good, the problem is that i have to study 'cause my performance (dance) falls in the middle of my exams :(.
Now i was thinking about a one shot where Bryles meets each other's parents, or one of Briar's school friends meet Myles idk idk, requests are always welcome... as always.
Correct my grammar and spelling!!
