Breylen's P. O. V
"Bre-Bre. Wake up." Someone whispers in my ear. I roll over and continue to sleep. "Breylen!"They say a little louder. "What the hell do you want, thot?" I say in a groggy voice to receive a slap to the back of my head. "Ow!" I yell and sit up. My twin brother, Bryante is standing there smirking. But then his face gets serious and he puts his finger to his mouth and says, "Grab all that you need. I'll be waiting for you at the bottom of this window. Be quiet, though." He says and then grabs his bag that was on the floor. He climbs out my window and slides down the flower ladder that's there. I grab my backpack, outfit for school, toothbrush, and towels. I stuff it all in my duffle bag and climb out. We get in his car and drive to our brother's house, Ramir. "Dude, it's fucking 4:30 a.m. Why are we up?" I say. "Johnny came over last night." He states and I nod. Johnny is our mother's boyfriend. He beats the shit outta her and she laughs it off. He's hit us a couple times but not without a consequence. Me and my twin are Thug Life til we die! I know y'all are like: How you gone leave your mom like that? She won't leave him. We've tried to convince her. Even our dad has! Our older brothers, Ramir and Ramel plus our dad have told us to watch out for ourselves and try to keep an eye on our mom too. So, right now that's what we're doing. Ramir lives in Miami Gardens and we're pulling up now. I get out and knock on his door. He swings open the door. Jit is wide awake! "Hey, Bre. You okay? Get hurt?" He says as he pulls me into a tight hug and inspects my face. "I'm fine." I say and walk in. My niece, Bianca comes wandering in from somewhere. "Hey, Bibi." I say and hug her. "Hey, Bre-Bre." She says and we wait for Bryante and Ramir to come in the living room. "Where's Tiph?" I ask referring to Ramir's wife, Tiphany. "She's uh... she's somewhere. We're going through right now. But anyway, are you guys good? Did Johnny do anything? Do I need to call Ramel and go fuck Johnny up?" He responds. "We're good. No, he didn't do anything and no you do not need to do that." Bryante responds. "Cool. Well, get dressed. Y'all gotta get going soon." Ramir replies and we nod. I run up to the guest room and change into some skinny jeans, a white Nike 'Just Do It' shirt, and my all white Adidas. I put my long black hair in a messy bun and trade out my green framed glasses for my black ones. One thing I have to clarify is: I'm a nerd. An honest, all I care about is school, no friends, 4.0 GPA nerd! I don't dress like one but once you interact with me, you'll probably never wanna speak to me again. Many have told me that I make them feel stupid and therefore, they can't hang around me. So, yea. My only friend at school is Bryante and I guess you can consider my other brother, Ramel my friend. Me and Bry eat lunch in his class. "Bre! You ready?" Bryante calls and I grab my bag and jacket before running out the room. "Yea." I reply. And we hug Ramir and Bianca. "We'll get ice cream when I get home." I say to her and she nods. Me and Bryante walk out the house and into Bryante's car. "This shit is getting old. I haven't had a good night's rest in almost 6 months." He says. "I swear! Mom is bullshitting. And if we just up and leave, she's gonna resent us." I reply. "Maybe dad needs to convince her. Think she'll listen?" "Doubt it." I say.
*30 minutes later*
We pull up into the school parking lot and Bry turns to me and says, "Try to have a good day. I know it's easier said than done but it's only a few months left." I get bullied a lot at school but I'd be damned if I let them completely run over me. I do have some days when I don't give a shit but most of the time I'm all bold and out there. "OK." I said and he kissed my cheek. We got out and walked to the double doors that was already flooding with kids coming in and out. "I'll catch you at lunch." I said as I walked to my locker. I heard the snickers of these ignorant motherfuckers and I just continue to walk. When I open my locker, an envelope falls out. I pick it up and see my name in a magnificent cursive font. I open it and pull out a piece of purple printing paper. I read over the note in shock.
Dear Breylen,
Hey, beautiful. I hope your day goes great today. You're probably wondering who I am and you'll find out soon. But, I've been watching you for awhile now and I've grown to care about you a lot. I see you struggle and it makes my heart clench. I just wanna say that better is soon to come and you will be more than happy. I love you, dreamer.
~Love,
Your Secret Admirer.
OK! I'm officially scared, flabbergasted and... flattered. You might think that I get hit on a lot due to the way I dress and look (A/N: The cover is Breylen) but I don't. People practically hate me so to see this note, it throws me completely and makes me wonder who the hell has been watching me. I tuck the paper back into the envelope and put it in my back pocket. I grab my physics book and close my locker to be faced with the manwhore of the school, Juan. "This motherfucker." I mumble to myself. "Breylen, when you gone let me hit?" He says and I was so tempted to shove my size 11 up his ass. "Never! Besides, how are you even pleasuring ladies with your 2 inch penis?" I respond and walk down to my first class. I hear the laughs of fellow peers and his yells and insults. I ignore them and continue walking to Trigonometry. My brothers always wonder how I'm in Trig but Bryante is in Calculus. I honestly don't know. I slide into my desk and start on the bell work.
*35 minutes later *
"Can anyone solve this?" Ms. Bell asks. The problem was : 2 cos^2( x+π/6)-3 sin(π/3-x)+1=0. I was looking hard as hell. I scribbled the problem out and within 10 minutes, I solved it. I waited a few more minutes to see if anybody was gonna answer before I raised my hand. "Breylen?" "I think I know the answer." I said. I was highly unsure but I didn't care. Ms. Bell motioned for me to come up. I walked to the board and restarted the solving process.
2 cos^2 (x+π/6)-3 sin(π/3-x)+1=0
2 cos^2 (x+π/6)-3 cos (x+π/6)+1=0
Exchange cos: (x+π/6)=y, then 2y^2-3y+1=0
The roots are: y1=1, y2= 1/2 hence we have two cases
1.) cos(x+π/6)=1 2.) cos(x+π/6)=1/2
x+π/6= 2πk. x+π/6= ± arccos
x1= π/6+2πk. (1/2)+2πn
x2= ±π/3-π/6+2πn
"And those are your answers." I say once I finish. The class looked confused but Ms. Bell said, "That's right. That's EXACTLY right! Well done, Ms. August." "Thank you." I say just as the bell rings. I walk back to my desk and grab my books and bag. "She think she special cause she solved that problem." I hear as I walk outta class. "Female, are you livid?" I retort and make my way to second period.
*Lunch*
"Where the hell is Ramel?" Bryante says as we wait outside our brother's classroom. He teaches at our school but lives in Fort Lauderdale. His logic is truly incomprehensible. "Sorry, y'all. Just got out a meeting." We hear and look behind us. Ramel is walking towards us with his briefcase. His long hair was pulled back in a ponytail and made him look fine as hell. Wait! Did I just call my older brother fine? No, I didn't. I mean, I did but I was comparing him to someone else. Wasn't I? I shake that thought outta my head and follow both my brothers into the class. I take the note out my back pocket and set it on Ramel's desk. I then pull out my physics book and start on my homework. "Who gave this to you?" Ramel asks after a few minutes. "I don't know. It was in my locker this morning." "Who the hell has been watching you for awhile?" Bryante says. "Jit! Do it look like I know?" I respond and Ramel laughs. "Well, if this person asks to meet, let me know." Ramel says. "I will." I respond and then I catch the way he looked at me. He licked his lips and eyed me up and down like I wasn't his sister. I felt a blush creeping on a come up and I put my head down. I continued to do my work and ignore the holes that Ramel was digging into my head. "Ramel, is there anything interesting over here? Cause I would appreciate it if you stopped staring at me." I say. "I was looking at the posters." He says and we all laugh. But deep down, I knew he waalying and I felt that something was going to happen between us. What? I didn't know.
I hope you guys like this so far and ik that this chapter is late but yea. Thank you to all my readers, commenters, voters and followers. Peace, Love and Music.
