The Next Day...
Brad woke up early the nest morning. It was 5:36, at least two hours before he normally got up. "Great, I beat the sun up." he said to himself as he looked out the window into the dark. He walked down the hall to the stairs and came into the kitchen and himself a bite to eat. He looked at the clock on the wall, it was already 5:50, "Man, time's going by so fast today." He turned back around and sat down at the table. By the time it was 6:30, his little brother came down the stairs. "Oh, hey Brad. What are you doing up so early?" asked Tucker. Brad didn't say anything. "Brad?" asked Tuck as he walked up behind his older brother. Brad blinked, "Huh?" he turned around,"Oh, hey tuck." he said. Tuck was looking at Brad's expression when he turned around to look at him. It wasn't the same as it was last night. Brad was so calm, but he still was thinking for long periods of time. Tucker walked over to the chair next to Brad's and sat down. Brad looked over at him,"Tuck, what's been going on with you? You've been all 'how should I put this' sneaky and quiet." Tuck gave him a confused look, "You're the one who's been quiet, Brad!" Brad replied,"Yeah, but every time I see you, you're always so quuiet, like your hiding something." Tuck was wondering where this was going, but he knew he had to avoid it. "I'm not hiding something, I bet you are!" said Tuck, pointing his finger at Brad. "What? I'm not hiding anything!" replied Brad, with a worried look on his face. "Right." said Tuck, getting down from the table. Brad looked at the clock, it was already 6:57, and he rushed up to his room to get ready for school.
Meanwhile, At Jenny's...
"XJ9, hurry up, you do not want to be late for your public high school activities!" yelled Ms. Wakeman. Jenny was cleaning up her room, "Mom! It's called 'School', and I'll be down in a minute." She looked over at a clock that was set on her wall, it read 6:59, "Yeah, I'd really gotta hurry." she told herself. At almost the same second she said that, Brad had knocked on the door. She looked out the window, "Oh, no! Brad's already here." she said as she scurried around picking up her books as fast as she could, she shoved them in her bag as she ran down the steps, then abruptly stopped as she saw her mom answer the door. "Well, hello Brad. Nice to see you." said Ms. Wakeman. "Um, hi." replied Brad, "Is Jenny ready to go yet?" Jenny walked up behind her mom just as he finished his sentence. "Uh, bye mom, see ya after school." She shut the door behind her as she left with Brad. "Oh, uh, Jenny, I've been needing to ask you something for a while now, and uh..." he broke off not knowing what to do. Jenny just said,"What is it Brad?" Brad lost track of thought when he looked back at Jenny. Tucker saw all of this while he waited for the bus to arrive. he snickered to himself, trying to not burst out laughing. Once at school, Jenny and Brad both headed for their lockers, which were in fact next to eachother. And throughout the day, Brad had the worst time concentrating. He didn't even pay any attention at all when he was having lunch, and by the time he got home, he was the same way. He walked on up to his room, and just waited for 4:30 to come around, so that he could go to Jenny's house to study. It was 3:41 when Tuck walked into his room, noticing Brad had no idea what was going on around him. "Uh, Brad? Are you okay?" he asked, looking at Brad strange smile that he had never seen before. "Oh, hey, Tuck." BRad said, not looking at him until the last minute. "Something's wrong with you, seriously!" yelled Tuck as he ran back downstairs. He knew Brad liked Jenny, but he wasn't acting like this yesterday or this morning. "Hmm," thought Tuck,"maybe he doesn't know that he actually has a crush on her, maybe he doesn't know what it is!" He smiled, "If Brad has no idea that he actually has a crush on Jenny, then I'll just make it so he does!"
Back at Jenny's house...
"He was really quiet today, I don't know why." said Jenny to her mom. Ms, Wakeman smiled, she knew that on the look on Brad's face that morning that he had liked Jenny, and she knew that Jenny liked him back, but of course, she didn't want to butt in. She already knew that Jenny was trying to get Brad to go to the dance with her on Friday. She wasn't having any luck, apparently, and Brad's mom had called earlier about Brad trying to ask Jenny to the dance. She knew that she couldn't butt in, so she never told Jenny. But since the dance was tomorrow, she might of had to make a few exceptions.
