The Nerd and The Jock

Chapter 16

 Finally

Monday rolled around, and I still hadn't come to a decision about who I wanted to go to prom with. However, it seemed like the whole school had decided for me.

"You're going to Senior Prom with Kiah?"

"Kiah invited you to Senior Prom with him?"

"I can't believe Kiah is going to prom with you."

"How did you get Kiah to go prom with you?"

Everyone was already saying Kiah and I were going to prom together, but truthfully, I was still considering about going with Aspen even though I still hadn't met him yet.

Since I was early for class, I decided that I might as well talk to Brooklyn and get my mind off this prom stuff.

I walked up to Brooklyn, who was causally scribbling math equations on her notebook with a smile and sparked a conversation, "Hey, Brook."

"Hey, why is everyone saying you're going to prom with Kiah?" Brooklyn said, closing her notebook and putting down her pencil while looking at me with curiosity.

"Please, Brook, I don't want to talk about that. I'm seriously sick of people asking me. I'd rather talk about you going to prom if you really want to talk about prom." I sighed, putting my bookbag on the floor and taking the seat next to Brooklyn.

"Has anyone asked you yet?" I said.

"No, not yet." Brooklyn said with a shrug.

Alex walked up to Brooklyn and I, wearing a guitar strap attached to a golden brown guitar.

"I think I can change that." Alex said with a smile, as he stood on the empty desk on front of Brooklyn. Shocked, Brookyln and I stared at Alex in confusion.

Alex played a chord, and the class got silent even my math teacher, Mrs. Turner stopped her typing on her computer. Everyone turned to see where the noise was coming from.

He cleared his throat and placed his pick on the guitar string once again.

"Wise men say only fools rush in, but I can't help falling in love with you." He sung, and Brookyln blushed.

"Awww, he's serenading you." I whispered and hugged her a bit with a smile.

He continued, "Shall I stay? Would it be a sin if I can't help falling in love with you? Like a river flows, surely to the sea, darling, so it goes. Some things are meant to be. Take my hand. Take my whole life too, for I can't help falling in love with you." Brooklyn smiled and watched in amazement as he finished the song.

The class responded with a round of applause and cheers.

"Brooklyn Carter, you were my friend when I was alone and had no one at this school. Somehow between all of your smiles and laughs, you crossed the bridge of friendship. At first, I was scared to feel this way because my last friendship ended horribly, and I didn't want another friendship to fail. But I'm tired of keeping it all in and being scared of what could happen. All this time, I've been waiting—anxious for the moment when I could confess my feelings for you." Alex stated.

Brooklyn stared openly at Alex.

"Brooklyn Carter, I'm in love with you! Will you go to Senior Prom with me?" He said as aww's echoed in the classroom. Everyone turned to Brooklyn to hear her answer.

Brooklyn smiled and almost immediately answered, "Finally!" with a soft laugh. 

"I love you too, and yes, I'll go with you." She said. 

Alex jumped from the desk and laid down his guitar on an empty desk. He opened his arms to Brooklyn with a smile on his face. They embraced each other with a hug that soon turned into a kiss.

"Ok, ok, lovebirds. That's quite enough of love in this classroom." Mrs. Turner said, interrupting their special moment. Brooklyn and Alex nodded, taking each other's hands and sitting down next to the two empty seats next to me with beaming smiles.

"Well, that was cute, Alex. I guess Brook and I finally figured out why you got that tux." I said with a laugh. 

"I've had feelings for Brooklyn for a long time, but I guess I never really had the courage to ask her out. And last week something just clicked in me, and I decided to let Brooklyn know how I feel before we leave for college." Alex said, shrugging as he looked into Brooklyn's eyes and looked at me.

"I'm so glad you did." Brooklyn said, hugging Alex.
