CONT from @shermerclassclown

“No, not at all!” Brian insisted.  “I’ll admit, it’s a little weird to hear that a girl likes these things, but in a good way.”

(Like a dream come true) Brian thought.

God, he hoped he didn’t sound dumb.  This was the one chance he would have to talk to a pretty girl and he sure as hell didn’t want to screw it up.  Please, please don’t let him screw this up.

Dis moved near silently through the stacks of the Shermer High School Library, slotting book into their new spot on the shelves. Intimately familiar with the dewy decimal system, she’d labeled all the books properly at home and carried them to school in her backpack to sneak into the library during one of her free periods.

Starting with fiction, she’d already found a home for Catch-22, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, and Invisible Man, and was on her way to the Os for One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest with at least five books still in her arms.

Running her fingers along the spines of the books as she passed them on the shelves, she found the section she was looking for and pushed open a new spot, wincing when a particularly thick hard cover slipped out of place and hit the floor with a heavy thud. “Whoops...”

@thebraxn​ asked: ◈ 

Sheila stood in front of Brian. The fall breeze blew through her hair. God! He was so tall! She wanted this first kiss to be very special. A kiss that meant everything. True love’s kiss to be exact. She had kissed many frogs in her life--Brian was one special boy. She cupped his face and stood on her toes, leaning towards him to give him a very soft, loving kiss.

@totaljock​: ‘ luckily , i don’t get scared easily ‘ 

“Yeah, neither do I,” Brian lied, trying his best to smile.

He tried to stand still, wanting Andrew to think he was cool but couldn’t stop his body from shaking even a tiny bit.

@thebraxn​ said: Hey, we're supposed to be building tables in Shop class. I'm... a little nervous about handling the saw. Can you help me?-Brian Johnson

As much as he wanted to laugh, Bender simply couldn’t bring himself too, it wasn’t often that anyone asked for his help and considering he had seemingly taken the lanky nerd under his wing, mocking him for such a thing just didn’t seem right.

“Did you remember your goggles? remember kids, health and safety first!”

@shermerclassclown: 🍎 - go apple picking   "Cmon, Brian!" Sheila excliamed excited. "Let's go! We're gonna miss all the good ones!" 

“O-okay, sure,” Brian said, trying to figure out what was going on.  “Why are we picking apples again?  I don’t think either one of us knows how to make a pie.”

@shermerclassclown​: “Come on. Try breaking a few rules. You might like it.” 

“I actually have broken a few rules!” Brian said proudly.  “I went outside the classroom during detention once and I...”

Dear god, he had not only broken rules that day he broke the law.  Would Sheila be okay with that?

@shermerclassclown​: 🍸 : your muse offering mine an alcoholic drink (Sheila offers Brian a shot of Amaretto) 

“Ummm, really?” Brian said sheepishly, not wanting to sound lame.  “You sure you don’t mean to offer it to someone else?”

Ordinarily, Brian would turn it down flat but, after smoking pot in detention, doing that felt hypocritical.  Plus he didn’t want Sheila to think she was a wimp.  She was so bold and beautiful and he just wanted to be worthy of her.
