*March 28th 2006*

(Brooklyn's P.O.V) 

“Come on Alexander, ill drive you to school” I said as I bit into an apple

“Sounds good, Bye mum!” He yelled as a goodbye from both us. We walked out and got in the brand new Mazda hatch I was driving.

“And how exactly did you afford this?” Alex asked as he played with all the car gadgets.

“Its the companies, I can drive it whenever I need it” I smiled

“Living the good life” He muttered

“Someone’s jealous!” I giggled and he punched my arm

“Oi! Don’t punch the driver” I said as I punched him right back.

I parked in the school parking lot and we got out, I saw Alex’s friends they all waved for him to come over, he started to walk off not before giving me a hug. I found it funny that somehow I was now the talk of the school, I still couldn’t figure it out how people couldn’t see that we were twins, we looked so similar.

“Brooke, how was your weekend?” David asked as I entered the gym

“Pretty good, got to see my family” I told him

“Good good, ready to train up some people today?” He continued

“Well I actually spent my Friday night getting to know my group, they are all my brothers friends” I told him

“Set it up that way did ya?” He chuckled

“Whoops you caught me” I winked, he was kinda, cute even though he was twenty-one, I have to say now that I would totally go there.

“Okay, so not that we have the floor work down, well some of us do, lets work on lifts” I said laughing slightly when Jack looked down, he really wasn’t the most coordinated person.

“David, do you want to join groups so we can demonstrate lifts?” I asked

“Sounds like a plan” He smiled

“Okay, so everyone pick a partner” I said, I noticed that Alex went straight to Natalia, the girl that was away on Friday. I found out that she isn’t part of his immediate friendship group but he did have a massive crush on her.

“So, simple first, guys hands on girls hips, girls hands on shoulders” I said as I demonstrated with David.

“Then girls jump slightly and lift legs as far into the splits as you can go” I explained as I jumped and lifted my legs into full splits and David held me up easily. Everyone tried it, some got it, some almost, and then there was Jack. As soon as Elli jumped, Jack tried to hold her but his arms gave out and he slipped over, they ended up in jumbled heap on the floor. I couldn’t help but chuckle.

-----------

The rest of the week went a lot like that, many people improved, and it looked like they all had fun. I got all the people in my group to do the simple lifts, but as everyone else improved, I swear Jack got clumsier.

“It was really good teaching you all this week, you definitely have a lot of talent here” David said to the group

“I think that some of you could even consider auditioning for the company, if you want to enquire just stay behind” I continued. Everyone bar a few started to exit the gym. I gave a few girls advice on how to audition, or what they need to improve on, when I was finished I noticed Alex and his mates were still hanging around waiting.

“Hey Brooke, we should go get some dinner tonight” David said as I began walking over to my brother

“I’d like that” I smile

“Well meet me at Rene’s Pizza on Thames, at say 7?” He asked

“See you then” I agreed before walking over to my brother.

“Hey are you hanging out with us tonight?” Chelsea asked

“Yeah for a little, but then I’m meeting some dance people for dinner” I told them, I didn’t want to fully disclose where I would be tonight. Alex threw his arm over my shoulder and we all walked out to our respective cars. I spent the afternoon with them all; Alex really had picked a great group of friends. At about six I slipped away to get change, I decided to wear some tight jeans, a purple flowy top with a pair of black pumps.  

“Wowza! Someone’s looking hot” Elli cat called

“Why thank you, I like to dress up occasionally”  I did a little spin for them all.

“Who’d you say you were going out with again?” Alex asks protectively

“Just some dance people, no one important” I dodged the question

“Well have a good time sis” Alex half smiled. I could tell he was being protective, since I had lived alone for four years, I was used to going out with whoever I wanted, I didn’t really have a lot of parental protection, and lets just say there were a few things that Alex didn’t know about me.

---------------

“Shhh” I whispered to David, we were on my doorstep and I was going to try sneak him into my room without waking up Alex and his friends. Luckily we got into my room safely, and soon enough we were trying to be as quiet as we could underneath the covers.

---------------

“Morning Brookie” Alex smiled as I walked through to the kitchen

“Have a good night?” I asked, receiving a few mumbled responses.

“What about you?” Alex asked

“Yeah it was alright” I smiled as I tried to carry two cups of coffee to my room without being noticed.

“Morning” I smiled at David who was slipping into his clothes

“Hey” He winked

“Coffee?” I asked

“Thanks” He said taking the cup from me. We finished our coffees before it was time for him to leave, we agreed that we were good being friends and things wouldn’t get weird. This is what I was thankful for.

“Bye” I smiled to David at the door

“I’m sure ill see you in New York sometime” he smirked

“Oh I’m sure you will” He jokingly winked, I lightly kissed his lips before he left.

“Who was that?” Alex asked as soon as I was in the lounge room

“David” I said simply

“As in dance David?” Alex asked shocked

“Yep” I said popping the ‘p’.

“Brooklyn! I’m so telling mum and dad!” Alex yelled

“Don’t you dare! They’ll kill me!” I yelled back

“He’s like twenty-one! I didn’t know you had even slept with anybody!” Alex continued

“Well, Lex, there are some things you don’t know about me” I told him

“I thought we told each other everything…” He trailed off looking a little sad. He just looked at me before leaving the room, no one spoke, and we were just left in an awkward silence. I think this is the first time in my whole life that Alex has been upset with me.
