#bryles

The hype around Briar Nolet started in gym class. Before that lesson and that day, she was just another pretty girl. But then we started tumbling in p.e, and let's just say everyone was left agape. Not much longer she was called out of class to show others how it was done. Now she's like a legend. Every freshman to senior has heard of her and her talents at gymnastics.

But today was a new day in this friendship, today was the day i was going to ask her out. 'Take a new step in our friendship', as my friends say.

"When are u going to do it?" Blake asks me. Blake is one of Briar's best friends and she claims Briar has talked about me with her. Talked about me in a romantic way. I don't trust her too much though, she has wanted us dating since the day we spoke for the first day. Because 'the hottest girl has to date the hottest guy in school, that's just how it works.' Yes that is how it works, in movies and books.

All our friends are standing alongside her locker, waiting for her. School is over and i am going to ask her now. I wanted to do it with our friends around us, that if she agrees -which she will, i just know- we can all celebrate together. And if she rejects me, our friends can take the fall.

I hear her laugh before i see her long blonde hair that falls in waves over her shoulder. Everyone she passes is in awe of her beauty, even those who see her strictly platonic. She looks even more pretty today, as if she dressed up especially from what's coming. Maybe she knows, maybes she has been waiting a whole day for this. That thought makes me feel giddy inside.

"Hey guys, how are you doing?" Briar asks once she reaches her locker.

"Good", everyone mumbles. It's silent for a while, all my friends poking me an motioning for me to take the leap. Just when i open my mouth, she beats me to it.

"How do i look?" She says with a bright smile and hopeful eyes.

"Hot", all our friends say, while i mumble: "pretty", to her.

"Thanks!"

My mouth opened to let out the why that has been building up inside since she asked that question. For me, i know, i can't wait to tease her with this until forever. When suddenly she looks over my shoulder, to something behind me.

"Myles!!", she screams and practically shoves me away, jumping into his arms. We stand agape, yet again, watching them hug for a good minute.

"I thought you were going to come back tonight?" Briar asks, once she is back on the ground.

"Well, surpise!" The guy, Myles answers. Her boyfriend, i presume. How comes she never told us about him? I wouldn't have gotten my hope's up then.

I clear my throat: "So are you going to introduce us?"

"Oh yeah sorry, i was just so excited. Guys this is Myles, Myles these our my friends."

The Myles guy gives a half-awkward wave, "Hi"

Blake opens her mouth, i can't actually remember her being silent this long ever, "So, is he your boyfriend or something!"

Briar had her arm wrapped around his waist, his arm around her shoulder. She quickly let go once she heard that question though, blushing the reddest i had ever seen. "No! He's just my best friend!" She defended weakly.

"Yeah, and now we are going to our other best friends. But it was nice meeting you!" Myles says.

"Yeah, i'll see you guys monday!" Briar salutes us. And that was that.

When they're gone we exchange silent looks and come to the conclusion that they are together. And if they aren't now, they would be in less than a year.

** 2. Olivia's pov:

"I am so excited for this dance competition, you have no idea!" My best friend Natalia gushes to me.

"Me either, i love this kind of stuff. It's one of the reasons i do it for", i reply. And that really is the truth, i've been dancing since i was three years old. The competitions started around eleven and now i'm fifteen going on sixteen.

I am confident that i am good, but no overwhelmingly good. I know i'm not the talented dancer you see in competitions but i got the technique and, most importantly, the heart. Dancing is not something that i want to do professionally, it's fun as a hobby and i want to to stay fun. Plus, like i said before, i am not that good.

I used to dream of a career in dancing, but that's when i got to know Natalia. She has her both foot on the ground and makes sure i don't begin to float. She taught me that i can love dancing and have different interests. She herself want to major in architecture in future, i am not too sure. Probably something with languages.

But the most enjoyable part of having Natalia as a friend that while she doesn't go starry-eyed over guys, she definitely supports me in it. We're both confident and smart ladies, we go over to guys ourselves and don't wait for them to come to us. That's how we got most of our boyfriends in the past, that we weren't shy for them.

And right now i have my eyes on someone who i've been seeing on a lot of competitions, Myles Erlick is one of the most talented male dancers and in one of the best Companies, CDC. I love the way he dances fluently and swiftly like air doesn't exist and he floats over the stage.

To there are the three best dancers in CDC that get the most attention, first there is Briar Nolet who dances in every category, then there is Devon Brown who too dances in all of the categories and a lot with Briar. And then there is Myles, who isn't in as many dances, but has solo parts in them. Who doesn't only seem to exist to lift people or get lifted. Put those three together in a dance and they win, no doubt about it, it doesn't even matter in which category. They just win. Always.

"Let's go over to him!" Natalia says. She too is a big fan of him, of them. Cdc is one of the things she wished she was in. It's a shame we don't live in that area.

Myles is talking to one of the others girls and smiles when we go over to him. "Hey! I've seen you two at a lot of competitions right?"

"Yeah, we're a big fan of your company!" I say to him, "I'm Olivia and this is my friend Natalia."

"I'm Myles!" Then he looks to the left and get an 'in love-puppy look' on his face, as i like to call it. When she sees him looking at her she smiles back, before continuing her ongoing conversation looking a little confused like she lost all awareness of space and time. Myles turns back to us.

"Keep that", Natalia says to him.

"What?" He asks us confused.

"That relationship."

He keeps looking confused for a solid 10 seconds before realization shows on his face. "Ha no, Briar is not my girlfriend."

"I never said anything about a romantic relationship. But yes go for it! She's into you and if she is not, that's her loss!" I encourage, they would be so cute together. With that we walk away, throwing a bye over our shoulder.

** 3 Belle's pov:

I'm sitting alone in Starbucks in my favorite corner by the biggest window and working on my second novel. I like to sit here simply because i get inspiration from watching people do their thing. How they behave and the different ways to walk and talk. It's an eerie feeling to sit back relaxed from head to toe and warm mug of coffee.

My second novel was going to be a romantic story, about different complications in love and loving someone who will never loge you back. Easily translated to: 'friends to lovers' the story spreads over many years. Actually a lot like fan fiction, but the thing is, people in stories most of the time don't seem real. To me they always feel empty, or a lot anyway. There are few groundbreaking romantic stories, to me the romantic aspects always start too early. I live for slowburn.

So i'm planning for 500 pages, the first 200 is just platonic, then 200 figuring out their feelings and the last 100 the happily ever after. This the summary but there are a lot of complications along the way. I'm now almost at the end of the platonic story arc, trying to find inspiration from the people around me. How do they act with their significant other, how can i write the change smoothly.

That's when two teens stop in front of  'my' window. Curiously i watch them. The pretty blonde has her hand on his arm, while talking animatedly with her other, her eyes big in wonder en sparkling beautifully in reflection of the sunlight from the snow. The guy is throwing his head back in laughter before grabbing her hand and hoisting her up on his shoulder and spinning her around.

The girl is still laughing while lightly smacking his back, a mother who's walking by stops with her kids by her side. They are looking at them in awe, i wonder if they are aware of the attention directed at them. The guy sets the girl down next to her where they smile at each other before letting go of each other's hand. The mother and her kids continue walking.

I begin typing furiously on my computer while thanking every God out there. Not even minutes later i hear a ding that signs that a customer walked in, when i look back i see the lovesick couple walk in. The girl gives me a smile and sits down a table before me, while subconsciously smiling and looking out of the window. I turn back to my computer.

A while later the guy sits down in front of her and the begin a low conversation, still laughing every few minutes like the person sitting in front of them is the funniest person out there. No book or movie will ever be able to capture true love like this, but after i've seen it, i might as well try.

I close my laptop and stand up. On my way to the door i stop by their table, they look up at me almost dazed. "I really love your relationship!"

They both blush, look at each other and back to me in a second." We-we're not together..."

"Oh well, then i love your friendship."

"We're actually enemies", the guy says dryly while shooting the girl a 'dark' look that has the effect of a puppy. I laugh softly and walk away without saying goodbye, they're already too caught up in each other. When i walk outside i hear the girl exclaim: "This is the third time in three months..."

I wanted to scream back that maybe it was a sign to do something about it.

** +1 Macy's pov:

I'm sitting at the exact same place where my boyfriend broke up with me a year ago. He was my longterm boyfriend and i really hadn't seen it coming which made it so much worse. Sometimes i still speak to him, it had taken a while though before i had forgiven him for falling out love. Before accepting that not all love lasts forever and that nobody could do anything about it. I learned that now.

Today was the day i had my first date with a guy names Will, he had liked me for a while but was too afraid to come up to me while i was still dating my ex. I liked him, after the break-up we grew closer, until it came to this say. The day of our first date.

A couple walked by, holding hands and swinging them excitedly. They wore matching outfits, 9 months ago i would have closed my eyes and wished for the image to disappear. 8 months ago i would have envied them, pursed my lips and looked away. Today i yelled at them, "You guys seem really happy together!"

They looked at each other smiled and said: "We are!" And walked away.

Will tapped me on my shoulder and motioned for me to stand up from the bench i was sitting on. "Ready?"

Was i ready? After a year of constant doubt, was i ready to get back in the game. Maybe fall in love and maybe get my heart broken. I looked over at the happy couple again, now a little farther away but still smiling.

"Yes", i said, "i am ready."

___________ I wrote this in one (1) day... i actually kind of wrote this because i felt guilty for not writing the past month so yeah, this is my apology... now don't expect too much, this was it for this weekend, for this week. Or until i find something to write

Point out my grammar mistakes i wrote this in one go!!

All the love & until next time (if ur not done with me anyway)

At least that was the plan, but from the moment i turned around a hand clamped down on my forearm. I looked up from the manicured hand into Jessy's eyes. "What do you think you're doing? The guys will be here any minute!"

Thanks for the reminder Jessy. Now i wanted to leave even quicker, he can't see me like this. Myles is going to think I'm desperate. "I think i ate something bad, i feel a little sick..." i lie, rather unconvincingly.

Jessy raised her eyebrows, giving me a one over. "You don't look very sick to me. Stunning, that's what you look. And Myles is going to love it, he loves formal thing like this. Remember that if he acts poorly, he was the one to ask you out. And from what i heard from Tanner he sent you a text straight away. If anyone's desperate it's him."

I take a deep breath taking her words in. She's right! It's not like i begged him to go with me. Myles was the first one to sent a text out of all the boys. Though if he hadn't asked me i would probably sit in my room crying, i had been waiting for his text the moment i knew about the ball. I really am pathetic.

I nodded at her and resumed my spot beside her, not-so-patiently waiting for the boys to arrive. Jessy was going with Tanner, Abi with Josh but who was my sister going with? I can't believe she didn't tell me and that i hadn't asked. "Abbey" i exclaim loudly with wide eyes, "who're you going with?"

She looked at me a little smugly. "Now you realise you haven't talked to me ever since Myles asked you out? Tss. But i get it, love blinds you. And it seems like it also deafens you." Then she started to look sheepish. "I'm going with Tyler. We though it would be a good idea to make our bond stronger for the trio..."

I was just about to reply when the door opened. In walked all the boys and while they al looked good, my eyes strayed to Myles the moment he walked in. His outfit was simple but nice. But maybe my opinion wasn't entirely objective, if he can wear a leopard pants with a zebra T-shirt on it and i would probably say he looked nice.

When i looked into his eyes i could see that he was checking me out while moving closer. Was it just me or was everyone pausing what they were doing to watch this progress? His mouth opened a little but he quickly recovered, giving me a dazzling smile that mad my insides go mushy. "You look dashing my lady." He said bowing down like i was a princess before extending his arm, "Shall we."

I wrapped my hand around his arm giving him a grin in return. "We shall" i looked around me to see everyone looking at us with happiness etched on their faces. I motioned at them to go and we walked into the dancing hall.

This is going to bean interesting evening.

**

We all sat around a table. Myles was fetching drinks from the bar, the chair empty beside me. When i turned around there was suddenly a guy next to me. Not very handsome but not ugly either. He wore a creepy smile on his face, an expression i didn't trust for a second. This guy only wanted one thing and i was not going to give it to him.

"Hi." He said extending his hand.

I ignored his hand: "hey." I said not very enthusiastic. I really hoped Myles was almost back. It seemed like the only thing that was going to hold him back was someone he respected, and by the looks of it that wasn't going to be a woman. I looked at Jessy for help.

Jessy took the hand that was still extend, "Hiya! I don't think i have seen you here?"

"Oh i am not competing. I'm the son of the organisator of this dance." Great he was also rich. Jessy was going to answer him but suddenly a slow song came on. Tanner inmediatley grabbed her hand pulling her on the dance floor. So did the rest of all the guys. Great now i don't have a chance against him.

He turned to me, with the smile still on his face. "Wanna dance?"

I shook my head: "No thank you, my date can be here any moment now." I politely refuse. I didn't even know his name.

The wasn't going to give up that easily though. "Come onnn, i am sure he won't mind." When i kept refusing the smile left his face. "Don't you think i know what is going on? You are playing hard to get. I am not the type of guy who enjoys suck games. You probably don't even have date." He growled.

I was getting seriously scared now. I slided my chair away from him. He stood up coming over to me and grabbing my forearm in painfully tight grip. "You are going to dance with me while you wait for your so called date. I'm not leaving before i see him."

Tears started to built in my eyes. "What do you think you are doing?" Hissed Myles. Yes thank god for answering my prayers.

"Chill, was just going to dance with her while we waited for her nonexistent date." The guy said, tightening the grip on my arm.

I whimpered lowly, but loud enough for Myles to hear i guess because a second after he wrenched the hand of my arm and pulled me with my back pressed against his chest. I closed my eyes i relief. "Well you don't have to wait much longer, because here i am. You can leave right now." Myles fumed, leading me away and to the dance floor.

Arriving there i turned around and pressed my head against his chest in a silent thank you. My hand clasping his shirt. "Thank you so much Mylo!"

He wrapped his arms around my waist hugging me closer. "I should have been here much sooner. Imagine what would've happened if i hadn't showed up in time! Where were all the guys?"

"They are on the dance floor. It's not their fault, i don't think they expected i would get harassed in the 5 minutes you weren't here" i replied softly. I don't need him to be angry at the rest of the team.

He didn't answer, just pulling me the closest he could. We stayed like that for two songs as close to each other as possible swaying from side to side. That's when i got a message. I could feel the vibrations trough the fabric of my dress and purse.

The message wasn't what i was expecting though not at all. Amd the moment i read it i wished that i had left my phone in the room. Now i ruined a perfectly fine evening. I putted my phone on stand-by, and i could see Myles starting to ask questions. I cut him of with a hug, i practically jumped him. And as he tried to keep his balance my tears stared to pour out of my eyes.

He hugged my just as close, murmuring reassuringly. It wasn't going to be okay though, not at all.

                                                                                 Mom ❤️                                                   I am so sorry! Granny died this evening,                                                call me when you see this message ily sm xxxx

Devon answered first: "Yeah, for sure. I'm tired of this in between stage or whatever this is."

"I'm in, I'm just a little lost on what 'Bryles' is." Brooklyn said, momentarily forgetting to whisper.

I was just about to whisper-shout at him to keep quiet when Myles leaned over my seat. "What are you guys talking about? Ooohhh is this a secret meeting? Cause you can tell me, I won't gossip." He said wiggling his eyebrows.

I saw Brooklyn open his mouth to answer, so I quickly kicked him in the shin -lightly of course. And Devon filled in: "We were actually talking about our dance. And our favorite youngster Brooklyn here didn't know what a move was called and Tanner and I didn't want to embarrass him so we whispered."

Brooklyn looked confused because we weren't telling the truth to one of our best friends. To compensate that look I nodded furiously. "Yes, I used to be so embarrassed when I didn't know what a move was called and Brook is like a little brother to me, and I don't wish the same sad, sad fate to him."

I tried too keep Myles attention focused on me since Devon was making gestures at Brooklyn to play along. Myles looked between the three of us, slowly let out an "okay" and slid back into his seat.

I looked at Brooklyn and singed him closer with my hand. When his head was 10 centimeters from me I muttered: "Idiot" and slapped his cheek lightly. Brook was not expecting that and let out a low yelp.

"Bryles equals Briar and Myles, it's their ship name. Are you following? Yes? Okay good. Project Bryles is uhm yea a project that is going to give them a push in the back and so they get together already. We all know they're both dying to." I said rolling my eyes.

"Oooh I get it now. Okay i'm in, i'll text Abbey to let her know. At least if that's okay?"

I nodded: "The more the merrier. At least that's what they say." I leaned my head back and closed my eyes. Showstoppers is going to be so much fun this year, and not only for dance.

** Brooklyn shook me awake half an hour before the plane was going to land. "Abbey is also in along with a few others."

"What are you guys in? Can i join??" Myles said eagerly.

"No you can't join!" Brook said a little too fast. He looked at me apologetically and mimed sorry before sliding deeper into his seat and closing his eyes. I looked at Devon and saw he was listening to music. Great now i can fix this mess.

He was looking at Brooklyn confusedly before turning his head to me, expecting an explanation. After a long silence, it lasted for about 20 seconds which is very long, he raised both his eyebrows: "Anytime now please?"

"Well you can't join a hate club against yourself, now can you?" I answered winking at him.

He just frowned and started talking to the guy next to him.

"Attention everyone!! We are about to land, put on your seatbelts."

**

We, myles, Devon, Brook, some other guys and I were waiting for our luggage when Briar and her Girl-Squad came over. "Briar, these guys started a Myles-hate club, but you're not apart of it right?" He looked at her with his puppy-face.

Briar glanced at us with an, what I like to call, 'are you for real'-face and answered: "I guess not, who's in it anyway?"

Half of the guys, Abi, Abbey and Jessy raised their hands. "See! But I knew I could count on you, B" Myles said pulling Briar closer. Ha our plan was working even before we started planning.

Devon broke the silence with cooing, everyone immediatley joining him. Briar started to pull away, but Myles locked her in a steel thight grip. "You guys wished you had a best friend like me. You wished you had friend like me! Myles out!!" And he mimed dropping a mic.

By now everyone was laughing except for Myles. He looked at us and then at Briar: "Betrayal, I thought u were with me Bri!" Briar just started laughing harder: "You gotta admit this is pretty funny."Myles let go of her. "Betrayal all of you!" Grabbed his luggage and strolled away.

We waited one minute, two before he came back. "I'm still mad at you. BUT I realised I don't have any other friends. Sooo..."

"Aww Mylo got no other friends." Briar said, standing on her tiptoes to ruffle his hair.

"Yeah, yeah. Come on let's go to the hotel!" He grumpelly went over to the bus, pretending not to notice the laughing behind his back.

**

I was lying comfortably on a sofa when Jessy ran up to me. "Okay I promised not to tell anyone this but I just can't. Briar's grandma is in the hospital, because she's dying, Tan! That's why Abbey and her were late. Normally I wouldn't tell you this but Myles doesn't know and now she comes to me ,what I appreciate, but i'm not good with death. And she's probably going to die while we're here. What then eh? What if it's on the day of her solo!! I can't do this!"

After she finishes her little rant I pull her into a hug. "It's going to be okay Jes. It's going to be just fine. Why hasn't she told Myles though?"

"I don't know."

"Who hasn't told me what?" Seriously? Why is he popping up today out of thin air and overhearing every conversation he isn't supposed to know. Normally when you have to tell him something no one can find him anywhere.

"That's not our secret to tell."

"I'm being left out of everything today. I have to say i don't like it...", Myles said the last part to himself and walking away. "I'm gonna see where Bri is."

**

"Tonight there's a party for a the dancers in the competion. And their dates. We all have to take someone."

Every guy from CDC was gathered in Devon, Myles and mine bedroom. As if on cue they all groaned. "Who are you going to take, Tanner? Abi or Jessy?!"

Great now i have to choose between them. "I don't is there someone who really wants to take one of them. I'll take the other then."

"Yeah i want to take Abi." Well that's fixed then...

"And i'll take Jes." I immediatley sent her a text.

Devon looked at me with a smirk on his face, "I'll take Briar." Myles turned his head so fact in Devon's direction i thought he had a whiplash. "Unless of course, someone else is dying to take her?" Devon directed his question to Myles.

"I don't know what you are doing, but i don't like it. Besided you're too late, i sent her a text the second i heard the news. Guess you are going to have to find someone else. Why do you want to take her though? I thought you didn't like her 'that way'." Putting aircotes when he said that way.

"She's one my friends. So if i can't take her out without liking her 'that way', why can you? Or do you like her 'that way'?" Dev smirked. Ha we got him. I high-fived him and looked at Myles.

He just gazed between us, "I don't like you guys. No i really don't."

He will think about that differently soon.

** Myles pov

When Devon said he was going to ask Briar I had a mini heart attack. It just felt really weird. Like really weird. So I may have lied that I already had texted her, but I did the second after which is kind of the same. Anyway what it comes down to is that I didn't want Devon to take her. Or any if thee other guys. Or you know any other guy. We were all getting ready in our room. I decided not to overdress and put on black pants with a white overall.

Okay here we go.

 Jessy's pov: Tanner, Devon and I are walking to the studio together. Today is the day that we are leaving for Showstoppers. I've been looking forward to this day, this week actually, for years. One of the dances i was the most confident with was 'Head vs Heart', the choreo for the dance isn't amazingly hard but has a surprisingly strong effect. At least that's how i see it. 

 I also have a duet with Myles, wich is pretty good too. But i have a feeling that  Briar, Devon and Myles' is going to be better, since our chemistry is off and I have a crush on Tanner. And to be honest he probably has a crush on Briar. Like i'm almost certain of that. When i think that I smirk a little, from the corner of my eyes I see Devon and Tanner looking at me questioningly. "I was just thinking about Myles' obvious crush on Briar", i begin explaining.

 Devon just nodded while Tanner went into a full out rant: "Yeah, they so like each other. It's evident for any outsider, but they're as oblivious as ever. I don't think they even know it themselve. I bet Myles sometimes looks at her and goes: 'I would never date anyone who isn't her' and 5 seconds later he's like: 'she's my best friend.' and 'totally platonic though.' You know what? This is going to be my goal this year at Showstoppers. Making them realise they are totally in love with each other. Who's in?" 

 "I'm in I guess, as long no one gets hurt. Physically and mentally wise", Devon stated.

 "Yeah, me too." I really wanted them to be together, i was sure they would be even happier then they already were. But no one wants to cause the same drama as last time, when we tried to match make Abi and Myles. Now they're good friends, but they hated each other for a while back then. And it was kind of bad and maybe a little our fault. But it's all good now.

 "Should we inform the others? They are going to catch op eventually, and i don't want any problems. Teamwork is crucial, especially in our dances. Messing with the atmosphere is something i really don't want to do." Devon looked at us, when he said the last sentence. 

 "Yeah, I'll text Abi on the plane and sent one to the boys' groupchat", Tanner started, "But if they don't want in it's not our problem okay?"

 "Okay, but maybe don't text the group! Myles is in there, remember? He's part of the team."

 "I meant I was going to make a group without him and put all the others in, you know. I'm not that stupid. Actually, we can make a groupchat with anyone who's in on project Bryles." Tanner rolled his eyes. 

 "That's indeed not the worst idea you've had." I replied. Oh how i loved pissing him off.

 "Geez, thanks... I guess." Tanner went with his hand trough his hair, messing it up in a way every guy does. He's one of the only people i don't get annoyed with when he does that. Probably because he doesn't do it every 5 seconds, like t a guy in my class.

 And that was that, the guys began talking about a part in their dance 'heroes'. I haven't seen that dance yet and neither has Briar so i'll just ask her to ask Myles to watch one of their rehearsels on stage. God knows she can make him do anything. The dance sounded promising, maybe even better than 'oorah' and that says a lot.

 ** 

 When we arrived at the studio, almost everyone was already there. The only ones missing were Briar and Abbey. That's strange, normally Briar was one of the first ones here. Taking my phone i sent a text message to her, while simultaneously walking to Myles. "Do you know where Briar is?" I asked him. 

"Yeah i texted her when i arrived and she wasn't here. The only thing she sent me was that, and i qoute, 'she was running late. Weird." So she didn't sent him an explanation? Now that's weird. I was seriously getting worried now. I went back to the girls, asking them if they knew where she was. Though the chance was little, if Myles didn't know  where she was, they sure as hell weren't going to either. At last i received a reply: 

 Where are you {09:14}                                                                                                                                                     Got held up, am almost there  {09:24}                                                        Ill explain on the plane. Prob w/ Abbey {09:25}  

"Briar says she's almost here", I say loudly, looking back to see if Myles heard me. He gives ma a thumb up and continues his conversation.

 10 Minutes later Abbey and Briar run into the room: "I'm sorry we're late, just a personal problem." Briar begins, only to realise Allain isn't even here and she shouldn't explain herself to us. She blushes furiously and walks to us. 

 "Is everything alright?", Abi asks before quickly continuing: "I know it's a personal problem so you don't have to tell me! It's just that even Myles didn't know, and he was clearly worried, and now I'm worried. Because when Myles gets worried it's serious so everyone gets worried, and he didn't know so-" She took  a deep breath. "I'm rambling, aren't i?"

 All the girls nodded their head, smiling a little. "Anyway the point is Jessy was worried and Myles was worried and Abbey wasn't here so i was worried too." 

"Awww Jess, you were worried? That's cute!" Briar said smirking at me. "So would you be, if your best friend who's always on time, hell even always early, was late you would be freaking out much more than i was. Am i right ladies?" I said looking at all the girl surrounding me. The thing i liked about CDC was that everyone was nice and got along. It was just a warm and familiar atmosphere that i loved. The same feeling you get in cozy streets in the winter, when the snow coats the streets and you look inside where you see a family sitting around the fireplace. Laughing and drinking hot cacao, until your tummy aches and you're warm all over. 

 "Earth to Jessy! You here, good. Sit next to me on the plane?" Briar said looking at me... unsurely? Like i would sit next to anyone else!

 "Wasn't that already arranged?", I answered. "You have told Myles already though? I don't want to hear his disappointed cries!" I said smirking. "Ha ha very funny!" Briar said, laughing along with all the girls. "But I haven't actually said hi to him today... Are you guys coming with me? Let's annoy the guys!"

 Briar turned around and walked towards them. Myles' back was turned to us and i could already see a plan working in her head when she began smirking. Briar broke into a full out run and jumped on his back. "Missed me?" Myles stumbled before regaining his balance wrapping his hands around her thighs to unsure that she didn't fall of.

 "Tremendously! I cannot go a day without you. You are my light and the reason for my life. Now come of my back, so i can see that beautiful face i have been longing to see for all week!" Myles said sarcastically. Rolling his eyes at Devon who was standing in front of him, also the only one who wasn't bent over laughing.

 "Nahh, I'm comfortable! And you should be happy: you don't have to kneel for me!" Briar said, clasping her hands together in front of his neck, a clear sign she wasn't going to let go.

 "Is there any point in trying to get you off?" Myles asks, turning his head around trying to see her. Briar leaned a little forward, making it easier for him to see her face. 

 "Nope!" She said happily and then turned her head to talk to Devon. I went to stand next to Tanner together with Abi. Abi and Tanner were good friends. Like really good, i think he may like her. Even though he keeps insisting he doesn't but so do Briar and Myles. They're always like: "Would you date that?" And "God no!" And 10 seconds later they are back to this. These couply things.

 I shake my head, trying to clear my mind. "Are you alright Jess? This is the second time in half an hour that you completely zoned out? What's on your mind?" Abi asks me.

 I just shake my head, looking at Tanner. "It's just... Bryles. Briar and Myles i mean. Tanner and I were thinking that, if we don't do anything nothing is going to happen. So on our trip we are going to give them a little push in the back. Only a little though!!" Saying the last part quickly, when I saw she was starting to protest.

 Abi stared a little to a point over my shoulder. "Im in, only -" when we both started to cheer, "only if no one and absolutely no one gets hurt."

 "Okay, okay!!" I go over and hug her, smiling. Okay now the rest of the team...

 **

 Myles finally got Briar to let him go when we were ready to step on the bus to the airport. Walking into the plane i choose a spot in the back next to a window in front of the boys. Tanner and Devon and Myles two rows behind us.

 I settle in the seat on the plane next to Briar. This isn't a very long plane ride but i still brought a cushion with me. When i'm finally completely settled in a turn and face Briar: "Now explain it to me." 

 And that she did
