Chapter 17.

Kyles POV

*Ring Ring Ring*

"Hello?"

"Hey man, it's Kyle."

"Oh! Hey Kyle!" Mark shouts over the other end..

"Can you and Jack come down to my house, for a minute?"

"Yeah sure man."

Minutes later I open the front door.

"We brought pizza!" Jackson grins.

"So what's up man?" Mark questions.

"Okay, so there's this girl I want to kiss...but I don't know when to do it and when the right time is."

"Okay let's do this," Mark rolls up his sleeves and smacks my back. "Jackson, your the girl."

"Hell no! I'm not kissing...that." Jackson points at me.

"You won't kiss him, you'll just hug him."

"Why do I have to be the girl!!?"

"Well because I'm Mark who's helping and Kyle is well you know Kyle, and your not useful as Jackson."

"Fine." He grumbles.

"Okay, dude, you walk in and smile and say something like....just something nice flirt a little, and then hug her."

Jackson looks at me, " What kind of hug?"

Mark looks at me and shrugs, "Well I don't know...a tight soft hug."

"Your so useful."

"Hug her." He smacks me on the back.

I went in for the hug.

Jordyn's POV

Zo and I walk into Kyles house and stop once we saw Kyle and Jackson hugging. We look at each other and start laughing. They looked at us.

"It's not what it looks like!" Kyle screams, pushing Jackson away.

I smirk and cross my arms over my chest, "Then what is it?"

He scratches the back of his head and looks down and then at me, "Alright it's what it looks like."

*************

Mr. Ed smacks his hand on my desk and everyone looks at him.

"Class we have a new student." He smiles and puts his hand on the back of the new kid. "His name is Brant Nixon."

I looks up at the kid, he had the most beautiful light brown eyes. He smiles at me with his pearly whites. His washed out grey skinny jeans hung low, he had a military tag around his neck.

"Ms. Harper."

I look up at Mr. Ed and smile slightly, "Yeah?"

"Could you show him around for the day? He has all the same classes as you."

I nod, "Yeah, sure."

Mr. Ed puts him in the seat next to me.

I smile, "I'm Jordyn." I put my hand out.

He shakes my hand and smiles, "I'm Brant."

The bell rings and we walk to Physics together.

"So where are you from?" I ask.

"New York."

"Oh, why did you move to North Carolina?"

He scratches his cheek and looks back at me, "Oh, my dad found a better job and they have a good Military program."

"Oh cool."

"So how old are you?"

"Just turned 19, you?"

"17."

We arrive to physics and Mr. Evans was writing on the board with his cute, messy, handwriting. Brant takes a seat next to mine and I walk over to Kyle.

"Is that Brant?" He asks.

"Yeah?"

"You remember when I first moved here we became friends?"

"Yeah?"

"And you remember the Brant I was talking about?"

"Yeah?"

"That's him."

I smile, "no way!?"

"Yeah."

"He did all that?"

"Yeah."

"Wow."

We walks back to our seat as Kyle walks around Brant.

"Kyle?" Brant asks.

He rolls his eyes and smiles politely, "Hey?"

"Brant."

"Oh hey Brant. Long time no see."

"Yeah man." Brant says, as he gives Kyle a bro shake.

About an hour into class everyone starts to pack and get ready to go to their last hour. The bell rang and Brant and I head for gym.

*********

"Well Brant is sure making friends fast." Zo says, chewing on her bottom lip.

"You think he's cute?"

She smiles, "And you don't?"

I smile slightly, "I never said I don't"

Kyles POV

Mr. Evans told us to changes out.

He walks up to me, "Think you can answer some questions without the usual level of sarcasm?"

"If you can ask the questions without the level of stupid."

He glares at me, "Have you seen Brant?"

"Don't know, don't care." I pull my bag over my shoulder.

"Kyle."

"Alright how about this. Next time I see him, I'll give a fields sobriety test. We'll do the alphabet. Start with F, end with U."
