Phoebe's POV
"So how did it go?"Bri asks me awaiting an answer. As we walk through the hallway. I bite my lips remembering the scene of us almost kissing.
"Ohhh I see that face what happened?" She asks poking my cheek.
"W..what? no; nothing happened" I say denying the obvious. But I know I couldn't get away from her.
"Come on this is Brith Palmer you're talking to I know when you're lying" she says crossing her eyebrows at me.
"Fine....." I give in groaning.
"Ok" she breathes.
"Well he took me somewhere and we had a little disagreement regarding the project...."
She blows down almost disappointed.
"And then I asked if he wants us to be friends and he said ok....." I sigh in relief. Her face pales.
"What?" She asks anxiously.
"Well...we a-almost k-kissed"I say feeling embarrassed.
"Oh no" she breathes considering it's her brother and not a stranger I never expected this type of response.
"What's wrong Bri?" I ask confused.
"Remember Bri 'almost'" I air-coat and sigh.
"Nothing...you wanted to kiss him didn't you?" she asks changing her mood but I nod negatively several times.
"I know you do but please be careful B I know he's my brother but he isn't the settling down type and I don't want anything to happen to you." She warns.
I know he's bad for me but there's something about his touch that is incredible that ignites a firestorm deep within me.
I don't know if it's because I haven't been touched by a boy before or what but that feeling was unlike any other.
"I know we're just, I don't know....friends and besides we don't like each other" I say shrugging carelessly but inside I'm overloading with unstable emotions.
"Ok I'm just warning you but in-spite of it all he's a nice guy when he wants to be" she says giving me a warm smile. I only nod and we walk to class together.

Time flew by very fast and I find myself in my next class. I sit in my regular seat and a few minutes later I spot Brent walking in. Our eyes met and I quickly look away we haven't talked since 'that' happened the other day.
I face palm myself mentally and went back to reading my notes.
He takes a seat behind me....I feel his breath on my bare skin. I gasp.
"Hey Red Head" he whispers close to my ears I can feel his lips slightly touch my ears awakening the tingling sensation I feel with his touch.
"H-hey"I reply stuttering. How embarrassing.
"W-we need to d-do the project....I'm starting the project today" I breathe out.
"Ok meet me in the parking lot after school and don't keep me waiting" he commands more than tells.
I like when he does that as much as I hate to admit it. The warmth that I was once feeling is now gone as he sits back in his chair; too embarrass to look behind me I just went back to reading which didn't help because his touch is still lingering.
The clicking of heels grabs my attention making me look up, no other than Evan walking towards me. Probably going to him.
I thought rolling my eyes. She shots me a hateful glare and walks pass me. I sigh.
"Hey babe" I hear her squeaky voice say followed by the sound of kissing. I slowly turn around and regretted it immediately. I took up my stuff and went to the extreme back. I feel so stupid. Thinking that there was probably a little something there. I rest my head on the desk having no control of the tears forcing to come. Why am I even crying??
.......
Brent's POV
After Evan and I's make out session even though we aren't dating. I couldn't ignore the fact that Phoebe had her head on the desk.
I always use protection when I'm fucking her for all I know she probably has HIV. I'm yet to find someone pure and untouched. When the bell went I waited for everyone to leave before I went over to Phoebe.
"You ok?" I ask. She tenses a bit at my question and I roll my eyes.
"Y-yeah I'm fine" she says with her head still on the desk.
"Let me see your face to confirm that" I tell her.
"No I'm fine really" she says with her voice shaking a bit. I got tired of talking and lift her head from the desk only to find her eyes puffy and red. I cringe at her appearance.
What the hell does she look like, the fucking walking dead?
I ask myself. . A sudden rush of anger flows through me.
"What happened?" I ask trying to keep my calm.
Why am I getting so angry?
"It nothing ok" she snaps and stomps out of the classroom leaving me in a confused and frustrated state.
What the fuck.
I walk out of the classroom and met up with the guys for lunch. Only to see Kyle alone.
"Hey man what's up you look tense?" He asks with utter confusion.
"Nothing" I hiss.
"No I know when you're worked up about something" he presses.
"I told you already you don't know fuck about me and stay out of my God damn business" I growl.
"You know what....you act like you don't need anyone but you do. You're right I don't know you but the fucking pissed off look on your face made me ask God dammit!!!." He shouts.
"Fuck what anyone has to say I don't want to hear shit!!" I grit balling my fists at my side.
"You're just afraid of change and I know she'll change you but you're too afraid to accept the fact" he says harshly. My blood is boiling and my hands are tingling to hit him but I don't for some weird reason.
"Fuck change" I scowl and walk away passing the others who were just coming.
~~~~~
It's now dismissal and I'm going to be meeting her.
"....she'll change you but you're too afraid to admit it"
Those damn words are stuck in my head all day.
She's right on time,we enter the car and the entire drive was silent.
We stop at Starbucks and carried our books with us. I ordered a milkshake and so did Phoebe. We set out the strategies and exchanged a few ideas and were both pleased with each others thoughts. We got up and pack our stuffs up then walk to my car.
After we got in my car and I immediately start driving. There's wavering silence over us until I decided to brake the awkwardness
"What happened in class?" I ask sternly. She sighs.
"Nothing ok" she doesn't sound convincing anyone with sense can see that.
"Was it because of me and Evan making out?" I ask straight froward
She doesn't answer.
"Is it?" I ask impatiently waiting for an answer.
"I don't know ok. No it isn't" she says and I can hear her voice slowly cracking. I hit the steering wheel in anger and cuss underneath my breath. I halt to a stop on the side of the road.
"Look I know that was the reason you were crying plus we're just friends let's keep it that way" I say sternly.
"Keep it that way Brent we almost kissed the other day and you're telling me to keep it that way?" She's now in tears and it annoys me to see her like this. My hands itch because they want me to touch her.
"Look I just don't want anything to ruin this thing we have....you're too.....nice" I tell her truthfully until I couldn't hold the urge to touch her anymore. My arms betray me as I snake my arms around her waist and hold her to my chest.
I don't know what to do to calm her down so I hesitantly strike her back soothingly. She flinches in my touch then relaxes as she let's out all her tears on my shirt but I don't really care.
When she's finished crying she lifts her head and wipes her tear stained cheeks with her thumb.
She looks at me with her overly red orbs,it feels different like her eyes are searching my soul. I lean forward and so did her until our lips collide with each other. I bite her lips softly and put my free hand in her hair while the other hand is still around her small waist.
This isn't right but I can't stop.
As I deepen the kiss I use my tongue to lick her bottom lip asking for entrance and she gave into me. Our tongues move in sync with each other in a unquestionable way,it was almost like they were waiting for this to happen.
She hooks her hands in my hair tugging and massaging it. This kiss is different from my random make out sessions it holds a meaning that I'm not willing to discover. I remove my hand from out of her hair and run my fingertips on her side receiving a moan from her.
We broke the kiss and tried to catch our breaths as she rests her forehead on mine.
"I-I think we should go" I say panting and she shakes her head in agreement. I look at her swollen lips once more and bit mine to refrain myself from kissing them again.
For the remaining five minutes of the drive she showed me the direction of her house and I must say it was ok not big but medium and looks...ok.

Phoebe's POV
"Phoebe keep this between us" He says sighing.
"Ok I'll do it" I say sighing.
"Whatever" he replies blowing me off then carelessly roll his eyes.
Why the sudden change of attitude?.
"But promise me one thing" I tell him nervously. Since we're just friends then....
"And what's that?" He asks annoyingly.
Seriously what's up with him?
"Promise Never to fall in love with me." I say quickly before shutting my eyes. I open them and look over at him his eyes soften but then he laughs.
"Don't worry I won't besides it was just an in the moment kiss and you're not my type" he says between laughs. I exit the car and slam the door shut then race up to my room plopping down on my bed.
Why is he like this nice one minute;then lustful the next;then he's kind, then cold and inconsiderate. I can't handle any more stress to my anxiety. I need to stay away.
Yup there you have it don't hate on Brent because he's just.....I don't know damaged and he has his own problems to take care of. Until next time👋
