Brody Clark

Knowing Brody as well as she did should have prepared her and made her immune to his words and advances and yet, there she was, with her heart beating quickly just by being in mere proximity to him. When he mentioned what happened between them just a few days ago, Ayla could not help but to blush and she knew that no matter what she said and no matter if she tried to deny it from that moment forward, Brody would know exactly how she felt; there was no point hiding. “It felt good, yeah,” she conceded with a sigh, shifting her gaze away from him. “Too good…but that doesn’t mean it should happen again, B,” like an old habit, her nickname for him slipped out. “But fine, since you’re here…what do you wanna talk about?”

When Ayla stopped in front of him, Brody couldn’t help his eyes from skittering across her body. It was an automatic reaction when he saw the girl. She looked good, who could blame him? Brody felt his heart sank down to his shoes at her words. Sure, she said it felt good, too good, but ‘it shouldn’t happen again.’ Something the student didn’t agree with. Brody moved a little closer when she shifted her gaze from him, reaching over and placing his hand on Ayla’s cheek, “Us,” He spoke softly as the boy stopped only inches away from her, “Do we really have to stop if it feels good?” The student bit down on his lips before his hands moved to the girl’s waist. That was a bold move, but he wanted her to know he wanted to continue whatever they were doing a few days ago.  

The last person Ayla had expected to bump into as she made her way to class was Brody, yet there was no mistaking his all too familiar voice. Seconds later, her suspicions were only confirmed as he appeared next to her, falling in step. She tucked her hair behind her ear and pulled the books closer to her chest, glancing at him before shrugging. “Right, stalking…says the one who was walking behind me,” she pointed out. The one topic that she had been avoiding was inevitably brought up by Brody and frankly, it surprised her because he was the last person she had expected who would bring up sensitive topics. She halted in her tracks momentarily and gathered her thoughts before turning to fully face him-the force hit her like a strong gust of wind; she would never, ever get used to the force of attraction that pulled her towards him. “We don’t have to talk if you don’t want to, Brody. Things happen…we’re both mature enough to know that, right?”

Brody shrugged nonchalantly at her comment, rolling his eyes in a rather playful way. “It’s a joke, babe.” He explained before a signature smirk appeared on his face. It was wiped off quickly when Ayla spoke again. It was easier not to talk about it, but at the same time, he wanted to know what happened. It felt good to him. It shouldn’t feel good with their history, but the boy couldn’t help. “If I didn’t want to talk, I wouldn’t be here.” It was true, Brody wouldn’t be here if he didn’t want to. “Yeah, but that thing felt good, you know?” It was probably something he shouldn’t mention, but it was the truth, and he wanted to know how she felt about it. It might be more comfortable for her if he said it first.

“I would love to join you. I can tell you about myself and you can tell me if you would cast me in your show about food and violence.” He smiled, picking up his bag from the ground. “Has anyone ever told you that you kind of resemble Heath Ledger? But like ‘10 Things I Hate About You’ Heath Ledger, who was hotter than ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Heath Ledger, but that’s only because the Joker is evil and wants to kill everybody.”

At the boy’s words, there was an instant regret of inviting him to join him. The boy didn’t like to talk a lot or tell anyone about himself or hear anyone talk about themselves. “Violence?” He questioned, food and violence only matched when someone was stealing one of Brody’s fries. “You don’t look like a violence type.” He nodded at the boy’s ramble before he shook his head, “Well, you did, no one else. But, thank you, I guess?” He said with a little smile.

“Nah boy, that’s where you’re wrong. I don’t lose bad girl point, that’s just something that doesn’t happen.” Lotte grinned at her friend. “I can get you a matching one though whenever it is I go home, Mat black with pink glittery writing and it was only like 2 pounds. Who doesn’t want that.” Lotte couldn’t help but laugh at herself and the fact that her friends back home made her buy it so of course, she did. “I’m cute right?” She asked the boy, her long black hair flinging over her shoulder as she joked around with him. “Hell if I know or care Brody. I got told I need a tutor by my mom and teachers and principal. Still probably isn’t going to happen.” The small girl shrugged as she started to walk alongside her friend. “Don’t mind if I do.”

“Agree to disagree,” Brody teased his friend once more. “I appreciate the nice gesture, but I’m fine with not having a case at all,” He told his friend with a smile before shaking his head at her comment. No way he was going to walk around with something glittery... or pink. “Eh, you’re alright,” Yeah, Lotte was cute, but that wasn’t something he would say. He preferred to annoy her with his teasing. “A tutor?” He quirked his eyebrows up, “I feel like you need a Personal Assistant or someone who carries you to class. What’s a tutor going to do?” Honestly, Brody knew Lotte probably wasn’t even going to show up at tutor times or whatever. She’d skip it so, having a tutor might not work for Lotte. “You pay.”

@reese-milller: That’s so cute, bro. Are you saying you’d pick your dog over your gf if you ever got one, or is Nadiah your one and only? 🐶

Savannah stopped walking as Brody cut in front of her and stopped, as she looked at him she listened and gave him a little smile. “You know just to see the look on my mothers face at how you plan on acting, I might really think about going to this thing.” Savannah told him, shrugging just as he did. Dinner in public with Brody acting well like Brody was sure to piss of Savannah’s mother, and that was something Savannah couldn’t miss. “Also if you bring up boys to my mother she’ll want to meet him and that’s a big no.” She told the boy. “Killian will dump me so fast.” She shook her head. “How do you even know about him and me? I posted a photo and we hang out, friends do that.” She grinned, “Why would they? They have my dads number and dad is not in the county, he’s somewhere.” Savannah told her step-brother as she looked around, talking about her dad was still something she wasn’t a fan of doing she still didn’t know why it was he left, he just left. 

Brody laughed at Savannah’s comment. It’ll be a sight not to miss so, he totally understood. “Then come and be disgusting too,” The more the merrier, right? Together they could be annoying. “Oh, so, I should totally mention Killian?” He teased, the boy wouldn’t do such a thing but he couldn’t help but annoy his step-sibling. “I haven’t seen you do that with other friends,” He told her with a cheeky smile before adding “plus you had a public make out,” He said with a shrug. News traveled fast. “I’m sure they have both numbers, Sav. In case one isn’t reachable.” It would make sense for the school to have all the important numbers. If the school didn’t, the hospital would have.

“No, I don’t think they do auditions there.” He pondered for a moment, fixing his hair. “Ohh, maybe they do for like the shows, that’s not what I’m auditioning for. Its for… something else.” He was brief. “But I’m not doing that anymore. What are you doing?” He asked curiously.

Brody quirked his eyebrow up once again before shaking his head, dropping the subject. “I was going to get food,” The student told Connor. There was a slight hesitation before Brody spoke again, “Care to join? You must be hungry with being upside down.”

Lotte faked a smile at her friend before she stuck out her tongue “This bad girl rep doesn’t go anywhere.” She told him, this time a smile on her face. “How do I know you didn’t take it and are going through all them selfies and numbers I go?” Lotte joked, patting down her pockets again. “Nothing and no backpack. Boy, I don’t own one, because when do I ever really go to class? I think I went to two today before I got bored and left.” She shrugged. “So tell me what are we doing now because the phone, whatever I’ll find later.” 

“I think you lost some level bad girl points when you mentioned the unicorn case,” He playfully teased his friend. Brody fake sighed, “You got me.” Shaking his head before speaking again, “I stole it and saw all the nudes.” A serious look on his face, ”Thank you, by the way.” It didn’t take long for the male to burst out laughing. Honestly, he didn’t give two shits about girls’ nudes of photos. “Do we even go to the same classes?” He wondered as he thought about how many times he was in an actual class with her. “We?” Brody raised his eyebrows. “I was going to get lunch, but you can join.”

@aylapresley: look if you wanna hang out, just say so. I'm just saying that it's a bad idea..

@broclark: It's very flexible, I know @aylapresley 😂

Savannah continues to walk next to the boy unsure and not caring where it was they where going. Savannah never really talking to Brody unless it was ‘family’ stuff so why not catch up now. “You’re willing to go hang out with my mother for an even just for the food? You enjoy yourself Brods.” Savannah gave the male a little smile as she shook her head slowly, she never understood how anyone could stand to be in the same room as her mother, then again not many people understand Sarah like Savannah did. “When do I ever want to be an event with my mother and your father?” Savannah asked, “I mean you just tell her I didn’t get the text or again that whole I was hit by a bus thing and broke my arm.” Savannah smiled with a shrug of her shoulders. “To fair?” She asked. “For my mom in public usually one, so please videos.” She laughed. 

Brody stopped in his tracks and faced his step-sibling before Savannah walked all the way to where he was going. He fancied annoying his ex by himself. “It’s food, and I can annoy both,” He explained with a shrug. “It’s a win-win.” The student knew his actions wouldn’t do much besides embarrassing his family in public. His dad wasn’t going to give up on Savannah’s mother. Brody guessed that’s because it’s been a while since the man liked anyone, and the young models were tiring to his father. He had a reputation to protect. Brody shrugged again, the student understood why Savannah didn’t want to come. It was annoying to see them pretend they were in love. It was all to save his reputation, and for Savannah’s mother, it might have been the wealth that attracted her to him. “I’ll tell her you were too busy with Killian,” He joked. He had seen the Instagram post, and he had seen them around a bit so, as a step-brother-ish, he liked to tease her. “I can do the bus thing too, but don’t you think the school would have called your mum?” He offered her advice to pick a better excuse. “Videos will come your way,”
