The girl next door

Chapter four

I wake up with my alarm going off. Crap it's Monday. School time.
UG! This sucks! I'm so tired of school.

I get out of bed and take a quick shower. I put on a dress with a whine lace top and flowy grey bottom. I slip into grey flats and a jean jacket. Then lightly curl my hair and brush my teeth.

I grab some toast and my backpack.

"Bye Mom! I'm off to school!" I say rushing out the door and over to Brandon's house. Hunter is also my neighbor but he always goes out to the bus late. He likes to think he's "too cool" to go to the bus on time and he always comes out right as the bus gets there and always makes us wait for him.

I fling open the door and yell "I'm home!" The Mcnucks are basically family to me so I know they won't care.

"Brandon! Get hurry up the bus is going to be here in like five minutes!"

UG! Still nothing. Maybe I should go up to his room. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

When I get to his room I knock lightly "Brandon? You awake?" "hmmm wa?" I hear so I push open the door. But Brandon isn't there. Where is his family! Why is nobody here and I'm hearing things! I walk over to the door to leave but the door shuts right in front of me.

Ok now I'm really really scared.
"Brandon? I this is a prank I'm going to kill you!" then I hear the floor board crack in front of the the door. I backup and sit on Brandon's bed. Heart pounding, Shaking, almost crying, I'm a mess! "Brandon!" I scream and all of a sudden a hand from under my bed grabs my ankle and starts pulling me under! I scream like crazy and kick at whatever is pulling me under. them in fully under the bed and I turn on my flashlight key chain. "I'm gonna die I'm gonna die I'm gonna die" and I reach out and touch something squishy. I jump and scream and hit my head on the bottom of Brandon's bed. I shine my flashlight and see Brandon's dog sniffles and his little sister Jenna.

" JENNA WHY DID YOU DO THAT I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!"

"It was funny!" she said. She's only six so I let it go. But I'm still embarrassed about what happened. I hope Brandon doesn't find out.

Wait why would I care.... Brandon is my bestest friend. But I do care... usually I don't. Why would I care? I know he will love me either way! I'm crazy.

I crawl out from under the bed and see Brandon. I also see a mirror. Oh gosh my makeup is running and my hair is all messed up! "Ah! You look... AAAAH!" Brandon says.

"Eheh... how long have you been here?"

"The whole time!" he laughs.

"It's not funny I thought I was going to die!" I giggle breaking my straight face.

"If you were going to die I would protect you Clairebear you know that!"
Then he hugs me and I realize, Brandon doesn't have a shirt on.

"BRANDON OH MY GOSH PUT YPUR SHIRT ON AND SHOES, DO YOUR HAIR, BRUSH YOUR TEETH, WERE ALMOST LATE!" I yell into his shoulder of his right hug. His abs feel... Wait What?! No no no no no no! No touchy touchy Claire! What has gotten into me!

"Oh yeah school!" Brandon says putting on a shirt and brushing his teeth. I do his hair while he's brushing and I do the style that I love, an he hates. His brown hair looks perfect and I admire my excellence. He looks up.

"Man I hate this style!"

"Too late lets go!" I say running down the stairs and grabbing his backpack.

"Hurry up Brandon it's.......BRANDON WERE LATE AAAAH!"

"Claire! The bus comes at 7:00 and it's 6:55, I'm pretty sure we are going to be perfectly on time!"

"Oh.., I'm sorry. I need to deal with my hair and makeup now." I run to the bathroom, wash my face and look at Brandon's clock. 6:58am. UG. I don't have enough time to do anything else but some mascara and lip gloss because I left my foundation and blush /toner/bronzer at my house and we don't have enough time.

"Ok let's so!" Brandon says pulling me out from the bathroom. Our hands are clasped together and butterflies rush through me. No! No butterflies! You have a boy friend!

We run out to the bus stop just in time and get in. Sure enough, here comes Hunter. I leave a space next to me open for him and Brandon sits next to this girl I don't know. I feel kinda jealous and I don't know why. oh well. Hunter sits next to me and squeals "OMG yay! I missed you so much girly!" he doesn't sound that much like a macho boyfriend, he sounds more like a gay best friend sort of thing.

"Where's Brandon?" he says with a slight sad look in his eyes.

"Up there with the new girl."

"Okay cools!" He says ending the conversation by putting his hand on my face and kissing me.

Well school, here I come!
