It Started With A Text (Bryles)

F O U R - Is It A Date

"Didn't your mother ever tell you that it was rude to stare?" Julian asked, getting my attention.

"Who is he? He's amazing!" I replied, unable to take my eyes off of his amazing dancing. Julian chuckled lightly, probably making fun of how I was gawking at this random guy.

"I don't know his name, but sometimes he comes in here & just dances in there by himself for hours. I think he use to be on the competitive team, but pulled out last year." Julian explained, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"Let's go, B! We're gonna be late for class." Julian said, as he pulled me away from the door, & towards Studio A. If only I could have seen his face.

(Myles POV)

11:35am (same day).

I had just gotten back from CDC. I spent a good four hours there, just dancing all my stress & frustrations away; but now I was back home, & knew what I needed to do.

I had made things awkward with Tyson; & I needed to fix it.

"EVERYONE! GET DOWN HERE!" I shouted, banging a pot with a wooden spoon. It was almost lunch time, meaning they'd all be getting ready for meeting Tyson's girlfriend, when she comes over for lunch, in less than half an hour.

Kingsley was the first one to come sprinting down the stairs, but instead of looking confused or startled, he gave me a big hug, which I happily returned.

Kingsley & I, had always been close. Even with my music & career, I could always rely on him to brighten my day.

The next person to rush down the stairs was Tyson, followed by mum. Both of them looked very concerned.

"Myles, what's going on?" Tyson asked, reaching the bottom of the staircase.

"We're going to the beach. Tell Logan to bring her swimsuit & a towel." I replied, which shocked everyone in the room, including Kingsley.

"We can't go to the beach. There's lots of people, & cameras." Tyson explained, as if I had completely lost my mind.

"I know, but I've decided that I just don't care. I want to live my life, not hide from it at the recording studio. So, we're going to the beach's, & I'm buying us lunch from that sea-side restaurant." I explained, grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge.

"That place is very expensive, Myles!" my mum explained. I didn't know why she was worried about us going out to an expensive restaurant for lunch. I had money, & I never spent any of my money. The only money I was spending, was going towards Dad's healthcare, & to buy things for around the house, like groceries; & that was completely my choice to put money towards those things.

"It's a special day. We're meeting Tyson's girlfriend. I want to treat everyone!" I explained, a slight smile appearing on Mum's face, as she ran back upstairs to finish getting ready.

"Myles, thank you!" Tyson thanked, & I felt somewhat happy that I could do this for him & his girlfriend.

"I'm sorry about earlier.." Tyson began, but I cut him off. "Don't mention it again. Just forget about it!" I replied, pulling him into a brotherly hug. He hugged me back, then pulled apart, giving me a smile to show his appreciation.

"I need to text, Logan! I'll be down in like 15-20 minutes. I just need to get ready!" he said, as he began running up the stairs excitedly.

Just then, my phone vibrated in my pocket. I took it out, seeing a text from, Briar.
