"So as you were talking to her I've been analyzing and it's obvious it isn't the first time you've met her." The one with the hazel eyes said.

"Brynn, this is Dylan and that is Kian."

"Hey, I'm Brynnley." I gave them a little wave.

"We know. You're a little nerd with a badass personality." Kian says with a little grin on his face.

"I guess you can say that." I smiled.

"So when did you guys meet?" Dylan says smirking at the both of us.

"She's tutoring me with Spanish."

"So she's been in your house, in your room? With you alone?" Kian asks with a little smirk, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Yeah to tutor him." I rolled my eyes.

"Are you sure? Our friend over here is irresistible." Dylan speaks up.

"Positive. Plus there was a baby there. She was more irresistible than him." I turned over to look at Jax who rolled his eyes.

"Oh yeah, his sister," Kian says scratching the back of his neck.

I rolled my eyes at them.

"She knows," Jax says and they breathe out with relief.

"You trust her?" Kian asks.

Jax looks at me before looking back at them. "Just like I trusted you two."

"Listen, lady, don't use this against him. He is trying everything he's got to protect her. If these people found out and it came from you. You're dead." Dylan says staring straight into my eyes.

"Why would I use this against him? Jax hasn't done anything to me and I'm not the type to tell secrets."

"You and your group of friends seem to like it."

"They don't know."

"You're serious?" Kian speaks up with surprise. I mean sheesh I would too.

"I told him I wouldn't and I'm gonna keep that promise. Plus if I slip up which rarely happens they can also keep secrets."

"If it gets out, you're going to be destroyed," Dylan says. He's overprotective, I get where he's coming from so I don't mind his tone one bit.

"I'd like to see you try. Brax's so-called girlfriend tried it on me this morning. It won't work." I tell him looking into his eyes.

We both stare at each other. "Ouuu I like her." Dylan smiles.

"You're not so bad yourself."

The bell rang and we all got up to go to our classes.

Sadly Rex and I had the same class after lunch and we sat next to each other.

"Hey Layla, you think you could switch seats with me?" I asked a nice girl in front of me. She smiles and nods. I sit down in her seat and she goes to mine.

"So you're avoiding me now?" Rex says standing in front of me. I glanced at him before looking down at my phone. He mumbles something under his breath before going to his seat.

I just want my best friend back.

For the rest of the day, I just focused on my work. I avoided Rex as much as possible and only talked to Kyle, Kylie, and occasionally Jax, Dylan, and Kian.

I was starting to get to know them and they weren't that bad.

They sort of remind me of Jax.

Dylan seemed and looked like a player but he's actually not, well he used to. He was tough and always had his guard up which isn't hard to tell. Even with his guard up he still jokes around.

Kian is outgoing, funny, and could be foolish at times. He has a love for food, like me, and can act childish but according to Jax, that's what makes Kian you know, Kian.

I meet up with Jax at his car and he gives a small smile.

"How was the rest of your day?" He asks getting in the car.

"Well I was trying to avoid Rex and he kept annoying me until your friends came and distracted me and kept me from wanting to rip Rex's throat out so you know pretty good." I looked over at him. "You?"

"Pretty good. Just the same old routine of girls walking up to me and seducing me." He waved his hands around like it was nothing.

"Okay ew." I scrunched my nose up in disgust causing him to chuckle.

He drove to his house and we got inside. I see Journey making her way out of the kitchen and into the living room.

She smiles, claps, and wobbles towards me.

"Hey, baby." I sat down on the floor and gave her a hug.

She points to her cheek which means I have to give her a kiss.

I pecked her cheek and she starts giggling.

"Hey, Brynnley!" Ms. Moore says coming out of the kitchen.

"Hey! How are you?"

"Great. How's the surrogate?"

"She has a month left before the baby comes."

"I can't believe your dads want another baby. They already have two to stress about!" She says.

"Three." I corrected her.

"Baby, you are an angel. So that leaves Claire and Taylor." She says and I nod in agreement.

"Estoy listo para estudiar! (I am ready to study)" I hear from upstairs.

"Who the hell is in my house?" Ms. Moore asks.

"That's Jax. He's studying his Spanish." I laughed and passed Journey to her.

"Ohhh. That makes sense." She walks off into the kitchen.

I walked upstairs and into his room.

Hey guys, I hope you're all doing well. As you all know George Floyd was brutally murdered on May 25th, 2020 by a cop. Ever since then there has been protests everyday. Some of these protests have turned into riots. If you've gone to one of the protests or plan on participating please stay safe and be careful. I am truly disgusted and honestly have always been disgusted by the way this society works. I wish black women, men and children can walk out of their house without being scared for their life. My dad is mixed with black and I fear for his life everyday. I pray every single day that he and everyone else with a dark complexion gets home to their family. I truly do not understand why the color of our skin defines who we are. We are all the same. We bleed the same blood. Everyone needs to be treated equally whether you're black, white, asian, latino/hispanic, muslim etc. To those who say All Lives Matter I don't hate you for that but UNTIL Black Lives Matter that's when I'll say all loves matter. Every person has a voice so please use it to speak out and bring awareness to this situation. We need a change and we are the generation who can change that. Please as everyday goes by please treat each other with respect. Show respect and you will receive the same. Also for cops I don't believe that every cop is bad but to those good cops, they need to speak out on those who make them look bad. As every horrible situation goes by cops will continue to look back until the good decide to speak out.

Please, please, please use your platform whether it's wattpad, instagram, twitter, snapchat etc and SPEAK OUT.
