Beautiful Disaster
Chapter 8: Brett's POV
"Dude, did I tell you how this morning, me and Kylie-"
I glanced over to Ryan, before cutting Andrew off. "Yes, Andrew, you've already said that."
"About one too many times," Ryan mumbles low enough for me to only hear, at least I hope.
Andrew shot both of us a cold, hard glare. "Just because you both can't get a girl to say yes to date you, doesn't mean you could be mean." he frowned.
I looked back over to Ryan again, and we both quietly laughed.
"Actually, I have a date with Kerrie on Friday," Ryan began, before pointing at me, "and Brett just thinks girls have cooties."
"Dude! I do not." I fought back, punching his shoulder.
"Jesus, Brett. No need to get all sensitive and violent." Ryan mumbled, as he rubbed the spot of contact.
I grinned, as I spotted Taylor in the corner of my eye, -walking with another guy?
Nearly instantly, I felt my stomach twist, as if I had just been punched in the abdomen. Strange. I've never had that happen before.
But before I could ignore it, and continue walking with my friends to go out to lunch, I felt myself making my way towards the two of them.
"Hey Taylor," I smiled, as I came into hearing distance of the two of them.
Taylor spun around to face me, and I watched as her creamy brown eyes brightened. 
"Hey!" she squealed, as she stuffed two binders into the top shelf of her locker.
I eyed the guy talking to her, wondering exactly what he was doing here.
He's obviously talking, dumby. I thought to myself. Well, what if he's flirting? What gives him the right to that?
Then again, what really gives me the right to be wondering? And questioning him? It's not like I owned Taylor or anything.
We were friends.
"Oh! Garry, this is Brett. Brett, this is one of my old friends, Garry." she said, introducing the two of us.
I nodded towards him, and I shook his outstretched hand.
He didn't seem familiar, actually. Taylor did say he was an "old friend," meaning he could have just recently moved back.
He was probably in her grade, making it another probable reason for me not to recognize him. 
Not to brag or anything, but I could fairly say know most of the school. Besides, most of the school knows me. I guess that made me pretty popular. The Daniels family was kind of a well known around here.
From Dylan's accident, to my sister being valedictorian of 2010. Most of the school, at least, knew who we were.
"That's cool," I said, leaning against the lockers, strangely feeling a little more relaxed.
I quickly checked behind me, seeing my friends waiting patiently for me. What a surprise.
Well, maybe they weren't patient.
Ryan was grinning, and had his eyebrows raised, as Andrew tapped at an invisible watch on his wrist, restless.
I rolled my eyes, then turned back around, noticing Taylor's friend, Garry, had left.
"He had to get to science class, we have separate lunches." she sighed, slamming her locker shut.
I raised an eyebrow. Taylor had lunch this period as well? Well, I guess that's good.
"You can come out to lunch with me, and the guys of course." I paused, rethinking how I'd just thrown that at her, "I mean, if you want."
The sides of Taylor's face curved up into a small smile, not too wide, but wide enough to show off her dimples. I couldn't help but smile myself, honestly.
"I'd like that, but I don't have enough money to b-" I held up my hand, before I cut her off.
"It doesn't matter, it's my treat." I grinned, winking playfully.
She laughed, and lightly shoved me over as we reached the guys.
"You both know Taylor, right?" I said to both Ryan and Andrew, giving them a warning look when she wasn't looking.
Ryan nodded, as Andrew began speaking, "Oh, so this is the girl you're constantly talking about." he smirked, waggling his eyebrows.
I rolled my eyes. I really should have expected that one. It was so like Andrew to be an a//hole like that.
"Ryan, ow." he screeched, gripping the side of his arm tightly.
Ryan shrugged, laughing shortly. "That's what you get for opening your mouth." 
  
Yeah, this chapter took a while, since I was so lost about it. But still, hope you enjoy!
