I turned around and got startled instantly.

"Shit, didn't mean to scare you." A cute boy smiled at me.

I laughed, "it's okay don't worry." I bent down to pick up the bag of chips.

"Brie right? You're dating Winston." He stated.

"Yeah that's me, but we're not dating anymore." I looked down at my feet as I said so.

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know, but hey I'm not that worried anymore that I'm talking to you."

"Whys that?"

"I mean if y'all were dating and he knew I was talking to you right now he would probably kick my ass."

"You don't need to worry about him honestly. I wouldn't let him hurt anybody unless it was necessary."

"That makes me feel so much better." He said sarcastically, "By the way, I'm Isaac."

"Well then Isaac, you should text me sometime. We could hang out."

"That would be cool. You hang out with Soda and Steve and their crew don't you?"

"Yessir I do. They're some of my best friends."

Isaac shot me a gorgeous smile, "why don't I get your number and I'll text you." He handed me his phone and I put my number in his contacts.

Just then, I got a text from Chanel.

Look behind you. We see you flirting with that guy. ;)

I giggled at the text, looked behind me, and texted her back.

Shut up. I'll come over in a minute.

I faced Isaac again, "My bad, that was my friend. They want me over there."

"Go ahead. I'll talk to you soon Brie." Isaac winked as he walked away.

I confidently approached the table the girls were at and they all were smirking at me.

"Someone moves on quick." Yvonne teased.

"Yvonne, shut the fuck up." I blushed, "Nothing happened; I just gave him my number so he could text me."

They all just giggled at me. Its like they think I'm gonna hook up with him or something.

Throughout the rest of the day I thought about what Yvonne said at the table.

Someone moves on quick.

I'm not moving on. I just made a friend. Yeah Isaac is hot, but I'm pretty sure he just wants to be friends as well. Im still getting over Dal too. He was such a big part of me. Im not over it yet and honestly, it's gonna take a while to get over him.

I was in the last period of the day and it was the period I've been dreading every school since the break it. It was my chemistry class and the class Dallas and I sat next to eachother. Fun right? The past week he's been bugging me every single day. Tapping me, passing me notes, not letting me focus on the actual lesson. I was getting annoyed to the max.

Three minutes past the tardy bell. I was late. All eyes on me as I walked into the class room. I took my seat next to the one and only.

"Hey babygirl. You look different today. I like it." He winked at me. I rolled my eyes and ignored him.

Dal tried again, "can't ignore me forever. We're lab partners."

"Really? Not for long." I sarcastically smiled as I raised my hand.

"Yes Brianna. What is it?" Mrs. Rutter answered.

"Do you mind if I switched my seat? Possibly with... Yvonne." I grinned. I looked to Yvonne and she mouthed the words "what are you doing?"

I mouthed back a please.

Mrs. Rutter sighed, "I don't see why not as long as Yvonne is okay with it."

"Thank you." I said as I walked over to my new seat.

•••

After class I met up with Yvonne and instantly burst into laughter.

"You owe me bitch." She pointed a perfectly manicured finger at me.

I continued to smile hysterically, "What did Dallas say?"

"He's pissed, but he did say that it's cute you want to get away from him that badly."

I groaned, "I didn't want to move, it's just he kept calling me cute names and shit and trying to make moves on me and I couldn't take it anymore. I knew that if he kept it up I would fall back into his arms."

Yvonne engulfed me with a hug, "don't worry babe. I get it." I thanked her. I really do have an amazing best friend.

On the way out of school, we ran into Johnny and Ponyboy . They ran up to us practically begging for a ride home. Apparently they walked to school this morning and Steve and TwoBit were chasing after them because of something ridiculous. When are they not being ridiculous? The answer is never. I split up from Yvonne. She went to her car and I let the boys hop into the back of my car and as we drove away, I could see Steve and Two running towards the car then stopping when they realized it was too late. Ponyboy stuck up the finger at them. Oh well.

"So Brie, going out to the club with the girls tonight?" Pony boy elbowed me.

"I have no choice. They're making me." I whined.

Johnny butted in, "it'll be fun. Clubs are fun!"

"How would you know Johnny cake? You're too young to be going to a club." I raised an eyebrow jokingly.

Him and Pony nervously laughed, "oh you know. Movies and such."

"What are you losers not telling me?"

"Me and johnny might of snuck in a club once?" Pony admitted.

"Knew it." I winked at them both.

They faced each other with wide eyes, "how did you know!"

"You guys really didn't think I saw you at that club. I was there that night. I'm surprised y'all didn't even see me."

Pony begged me, "Please don't tell Darry."

I smirked at them, "of course I won't. You guys don't worry."

I stopped in front of the Curtis house and let the boys out.

"Thanks for the ride Brie." Johnny said as he jumped out of the car.

I shook my head laughing at them as I drove off to Yvonne's. By the way, after the break up, I've been staying at her place since she has a spare bedroom. I think I'll be staying there until I save enough money to find an apartment or loft.

When I got to her place I was welcomed into the house by Yvonne screaming and pulling me into her bedroom.

"Ready to get ready for tonight?!" She exclaimed.

I looked at my watch, "it's 4:00 Vonne."

"Never too late to get a head start. Plus you might not like the outfit I picked out for you. Now cmon I have to do your hair and makeup"

"Why can't I just wear what I'm wearing and straighten my hair out?"

She looked at me like I was crazy, "Brie, we're going to a club, not a dark movie theater. I'm gonna have to make you look smokin hot if you wanna find a babe tonight."

"Hey what's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh shit. Not that you're not hot. I mean, today you looked even hotter than you usually do, but like.. I have to ...um...you know...make you look extra hot?"

Now it was my turn to look at her like she was crazy. I gave up and finally agreed to let her do whatever she wants to me.
