(Your POV)

     The final bell rang and I still haven't heard or even seen Hope since she left with Cris for lunch. I've been texting Evan non stop asking if he's seen Hope at all, which he hasn't. Hopefully she'll be at weightlifting, for once I'm actually thankful that I have to drive Evan home from it.

As I walk out of class I see Brian walking out of his class. I run up to him and start to walk with him.

"Before you ask no I haven't seen Hope nor have I seen Cris today." He says while shifting his book bag on his shoulder. I sigh and start to watch people as we pass them.

"Well.... my second question is how's Craig holding up? Is he feeling better?" I ask him. He stops walking and just stares at me. I begin to walk backwards and laugh a little.

"You uh..... coming dude?" I ask him. All he does is stare at me so I stop walking. He continues to stare at me while people brush past him to get by. He kicks his foot at the ground but doesn't lose eye contact with me.

     "Brian?" I ask while walking back up to him. He grabs onto my hands and pulls me close to him. My heart stops as he grips on tighter to my hands. Is he going to kiss me?! Is he going to make his move on me?! Please done let ANYONE ruin this moment.

     "(Y/N),  I need you to promise me to not tell anyone that I told you this. Not Evan, not Craig, not anyone (Y/N)." He says while looking into my eyes. I wanted to die right there, what if this is his moment of him telling me that he likes me?

     "Yeah sure, I promise Brian." I say. He shakes his head and gives my hands a squeeze. My heart stopped again, his eyes still haven't left mine.

     "Not yeah sure, I'm serious (Y/N)." He says. I quickly nod my head. Someone brushes against us, I turn my head and see a guy I've seen Brian hang around with on his soccer team.

     "Get some Brian!" The dude says looking back at us before continuing to carry on with his day. I look back at Brian and see him looking at the ground, his face already turning pink. I can feel my own face heat up but try to ignore it.

     "Andrews stupid. Ignore him like I do and you should be good." He says trying to laugh off the awkwardness but only gets redder.

     "I'm sorry.... I really am. I'm trying to tell you something that's completely serious but I'm getting embarrassed cause of my dumbass friend." He says. I laugh a little and shake my head.

     "Brian it's okay. You know you don't HAVE to tell me." I say. He takes a deep breath and nods his head.

     "I know how Hope likes..... well used to like Craig. Craig likes Hope back and if Cris didn't come here Evan was helping Craig out so he could ask out Hope." He says. I stare at him for a couple seconds before taking my hands away from his.

     "I freaking knew it! I knew something was going on between him whenever he was around Hope!" I say beginning to laugh. He doesn't laugh at all and looks towards the ground.

     "That's no it. Craig texted me last period saying the reason as to why he called me was that he got a video from Jonathan of Cris kissing Hope and.... those two.... are apparently a thing now?....... At least I think." He says. I stop laughing after he mentioned Cris.

     "Wait..... what? Cris..... kissed Hope or Hope kissed Cris?" I ask him. Brian shakes his head and continues to look at the ground.

     "From the video and what Craig said, Cris kissed Hope." I nod my head and begin to look at the ground.

    "Don't tell Evan. He'll be pissed if he finds out." He says. I nod my head, unless Hope told Evan already which I highly doubt.

     "It'll be our little secret until Hope or Cris says something. And who knows, it could be...... an innocent little kiss...... that didn't mean anything at all..... and Cris was just in the heat of the moment." He says looking up at me now, his face turning that shade of pink again.

     "I have to go meet up with Evan, he's at weightlifting right now and I have to drive him home in a little bit." I say turning around and starting to walk away. I wanted to stop walking and go back to Brian. It sounded like he was going to kiss me or make his move on me but I highly doubt that he was going to do that.

     As I get closer to the main hallway I hear Brian run behind me. He gets back at my side and starts to walk with me.

     "(Y/N) I'm sorry that I upset you in anyway I didn't..... mean to. I was just.... I'm sorry." He says. I sigh and give him a small smile.

     "Brian it's okay. Really, I just have to go because Evan gets upset if I'm not there before he is." I say smiling at him.

     "Hey..... want to play Call of Duty tonight?" He asks me. I nod my head and give him a thumbs up.

     "Yeah! I'll message you later so we can play." I say. He says bye to me before standing there awkwardly for a minute and walking towards the entrance. I try to clear my mind as I continue to walk towards the gym.
