Previously on Chapter 3:

Mrs. Barnes said and looked at the clipboard on the desk. She couldn't see it that well so she picked it up. "Okay, partners!" She continued on till the last two pairs. "Peter Parker and Michelle Jones. (Y/n) Marx and..."

Present:

"(Y/n) Marx and Brandi Fox." She finished off. Great. Not only am I paired with someone I don't know, but I'm paired up with a cool kid who's pretty. Well at least I think she is and I'm betting everyone else does too. "Alright. Now find your partners and get to work. I give you until Monday to have it done. So that leaves Thursday, Friday and the rest of the weekend. No excuses for not having it finished." She mentioned and Mj stood up from her seat.

"Good luck and lucky." Was what Mj has mouthed at you as she passed by to sit down next to Peter. "What? How.. no- help meh!" You mouth back but she just rolled her eyes chuckling to herself and sat next to Parker. Oh man.. here she comes and there she sits. You thought as Brandi got up and walked over to your table before sitting. "So, I got the pretty girl in the school. How lucky of me. Hm?" Was what Brandi had told your as she smiled and placed her bag down.

Wow, a cool kid actually thinks I'm pretty. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. That smile, she smiled, oh no. No one has smiled to before except for Mj today which was weird. Im really starting to second guess myself and this "pretty" talk of everyone. "Uh Yeah.. but I'm the one who should be lucky. Barely anyone speaks to me." You told her then she placed a hand on yours. She has such confidence. WHY CANT I HAVE THAT?? I'm just so quiet and easily get picked on. Not to mention that I have to leave it that way because there's no way I'm letting people know who I am or what I could do. Nope.

"I can change that." Brandi spoke with the smile still on her face. She's being so nice to me meanwhile everyone else is being mean by calling me a bitch, freak or loner. That's because she's probably not like everyone else. After all, no one's the same. They may seem like it at first but they're not. "Really? How?" You asked in question. Her statement really got you wondering and thinking. You could feel your gears in your head ticking away.

"Well I was thinking that maybe we could hang out at the Caffè alla rosa (Rose Coffee). A local coffee shop not too far away from school. We could get to know each other better and talk about the project more." She offered and all you could do was smile again. "That sounds nice actually. I haven't really 'hung out' with anyone since I barely have any friends and always get picked on." She let go of your hand and clapped her hands together. "Awesome! So we meet at the shop at 5pm?" She asked again while you just nodded your head. "Yeah. Sure. I'll see you after at 5 then?" You spoke and with that the bell rung indicating to pass to the next class.

As you stood and gathered your belongings, Mj walked right over. "Hey, so what were you guys talking about?" She asked being the curious and observant person she is. "We're actually going to hang out later to chat and work on the project. She was surprisingly nice. Not mean like the other cool kids." You told her and she nodded her head. "Sounds nice."
"What about you and Peter?" You asked her now. "Oh, we just talked about sciencey things and about who we should do the project on." She mentioned. "Nice."

Coffee shop.. coffee shop.. coffee shop.. oh what was the name again?? Caffè alla What? Just as you were walking down the sidewalk around 4:50pm and thinking about that fancy named coffee shop Brandi had mentioned, you spotted it. "Caffè alla rosa" you muttered quietly and started to get closer to it.

You didn't usually see motorcycle bikes at this part of town but there it was. One of the many Harley Davidson's bike parked on the side of the road right in front of the shop. That can't be Brandi's... can it? I thought she'll have one of those nice fancy looking cars most of the cool kids have. It's not right of me to assume what she would be driving though so I'll stop myself from further guessing.

Right as you entered through the door and took a couple of steps inside, you could hear someone call your name. "Hey (Y/n)! Over here!" It was Brandi waving her hand towards the back of the shop. She was kind enough to order two drinks, hot coca with marshmallows. (If you don't like marshmallows then you don't need to have it in the drink 😊)

As you walked towards the table she sat at, you could noticed that she wasn't wearing the same shoes or jacket she did earlier at school. Instead, she was wear a light blue ripped jeans jacket along with a graphic designed white T-shirt, light blue ripped jeans and light blue heels. Looked different than at school that's for sure. Her hair though, was loose and hung down.

She looked good. Not saying that she doesn't ever look good but yeah.. let me stop. You shook you head softly and smiled at her. "Hey Brandi." Was what you said as you took a seat across from her and she slid the second cup of cocoa towards you. "Got that for you. Hope you don't mind." She said and you shook your head again "No, I don't mind. Thank you."

What you wore was different from what she had on. You had a Black short sleeved shirt along with black ripped jeans and some sandals. You wanted to be comfortable and you surly did looked the part. You played the outfit along with some sunglasses due to how bright it still was outside and fixed your hair.

"Comfy." Was what Brandi said as she smiled and motioned to what you were wearing. "Thanks again. Sometimes I don't even try." You muttered but she was able to hear and that's when you heard a small chuckle. "Don't worry girl, these heels are a killer but matched with the outfit so I put them on anyway. Otherwise you would've seen me in sandals too. You're not the only one who would pick comfortable shoes over heels." She mentioned. Turned out you guys had somethings in common.

She didn't have as many friends as people would suspect and sketched on her own free time but not at school. She didn't really like the feeling of people looking over her shoulder to see what she was doing. But seriously? Same. Like people always look over my shoulder to try and see what I'm sketching and it's like... um.. excuse yourself before you hurt yourself for trying to figure out what I'm exactly sketching, thank you.

The both of you had talked for a while. Most of those times contained laughing, having fun and chatting about anything. She was relatable like yourself and similar to how you were. Though she might seem like a cool kid to everyone at school, she was just like everyone else. Trying to survive high school without all of the drama that roamed through the halls. Then the unexpected thing happened. "Hey I was wondering, can we sit together at lunch?" She asked and you nodded which was followed by a smile. "Sure thing, but I also sit with Mj so I hope that's not a bother." - "Definitely not. She seems cool like yourself. Can't wait to meet her too."

That was the nicest thing someone has said. A person you just met saying they can't wait to meet your other friends. Or should you said friend since it's just Mj at the moment being. For the project, you both decided to do the most cheesiest thing ever, Romeo and Juliet because believe it or not.. they did have an impact to everyone's lives. Even if they were reckless at times and really young. Sad that they died young though. "I can give you my number so we can chat some more and talk about the project." Brandi offered. Of course he couldn't deny that. "Sure. I'll hand you my phone." With that being said, you both exchanged numbers and stood up to leave. "I don't want to assume but, is that your bike outside?" - "Yeah. It was either that or my car but I like the way my bike sounds and the way my hair flows against the wind so I drove it instead."
"That's really cool." - "Sure is. Want a ride home?" Again, Brandi being so generous you couldn't say no. "Yes! I've never been on one." You said excitedly. She couldn't help but laugh. "Alright then let's go!"

Were you surprised that Brandi was your partner? What about how fast you both got along?
