*next day in maths*

I'm tired as hell, I really should sleep more but it's impossible in this building. The rooms are cold, I'm completely alone and it's freaking dark which scares me a little if I'm honest.

My eyes are slowly closing and all the sounds are moving to the background. Suddenly I hear someone saying my name and I quickly open my eyes again. "Jack, you look tired mate. Did you even sleep last night?" I hear the person asking but my eyes are half closed so I don't know who asked. I just hum in response and continue drifting off to sleep. Someone is shaking my arm and it's annoying me, can't they just let me sleep ugh. I push my elbow to the side and I hit the person who is shaking me hard.

"Ouch, mate that really hurt." The person says and I look up to the person I've hit only to find out that it was Sonny. Oh shit, I totally forgot I was in class. "Oh shit, mate. I'm sorry I didn't know it was you." I apologise. "No worries mate, it's just Mr. Jacobs gets really angry if you sleep in his class so you should try to stay awake." "Ah thanks for warning me. Are you alright?" Is ask. He just smiles and nods, I guess that means he's alright.

In science class I sit next to Brooklyn again and I'm enjoying his focused face again. It's just so cute and funny and gorgeous and perfect. But he in person is all that, not only his focused face. Wait, is it alright to think this? I mean I'm not gay but guys can find other guys hot right? Just like how girls can find other girls beautiful. Yeah, so me thinking brooks is perfect doesn't mean I'm gay right?

"Dude, I think I'm gonna need another tutoring session from you." Brooklyn says to me. "Of course mate, happy to help any time."

*after all the lessons*

"So you wanna go to my room this time?" Brook asks me. "Yeah sure, I don't care" I answer. But actually I did really wanna go to his room. It's so home like or something and I just feel warm in there, I don't know.

We arrive at his room and Brook immediately heads for the bathroom. "I'm just gonna go to the bathroom if you don't mind." He says and I just start looking through his room. He is a fan of Justin Timberlake I can see, and a few boy bands. There are a few pictures of him and smaller children which I assume are his siblings. Suddenly I see a picture of him and a girl and my whole mood just changes from happy to sad.

Brook then walks in and sees me staring at the photo. "That's my girlfriend, she's pretty isn't she?" He says. I just nod but there is now a feeling in the pit of my stomach which makes me wanna cry. I hate it. Why do I feel like this, it's not like I like him or something.

After a few hours of working on science and other homework and talking I decide to make some food cause I'm hungry af and I need food. "Brook, have you got any food or do we need to go to Sonny's again?" I ask. He just points at the fridge and returns to his homework.

As I look at the ingredients that are in the fridge I decide to make burgers. As I'm making them Brook walks towards me and just keeps looking at me cooking. It's kinda freaking me out but it's also nice so I don't want him to stop looking at me, but my dumb ass decides to speak cause that's what I do. I do stupid things at the wrong time and it's annoying.

"You gonna keep staring or do you wanna help?" I ask laughing a bit. Brook just looks at me confused but then realises that he has been staring at me for the last 2 minutes. "Oh sorry didn't know I was staring mate. But yes I would love to help you." He says excited. I give him a knife and tell him to cut the tomatoes.

Now looking back at me giving him the knife, it was a stupid idea.

Because after he had cut 2 slices of the tomato he had already cut his finger open. "Aaaahhhhh!" He screams. It scares the shit out of me and I immediately see that his finger is bleeding. I run towards the bathroom and look for the first aid kit. Once I have found it I run back to Brook and tell him to put his finger under the faucet.

I take some plasters out of the first aid kit and tell Brook to give me his hand. I take his hand in mine and look at his finger. "The wound isn't very deep so that's alright." I say to him. Brook now has tears in his eyes because of the shock but he is trying to keep strong I can see it. "Hey Brooki, it's alright to cry you know. I get it, you got scared there is nothing wrong with crying." I say and with that he just starts crying. I put the plaster on his finger and kiss it, then I take Brook in my arms and he just cries.

"Shhh Brooki, it's alright. There is nothing wrong with your finger it's just a little cut." I say while running my fingers through his hair. When he has finally calmed down I look at my burgers and they're burnt. "Uhm Brook, the burgers are burnt do you still want something to eat?" I ask cause I no longer am hungry because of the events from earlier. Brook just shakes his head and starts walking towards his bed.

As I start cleaning up he lays down and starts to fall asleep. He is so adorable, the way he curls himself in his blanket it's something I could look at my whole life. But again that would be weird, to just look at him and his eyes my whole life.
