*continued*
I turn around and see...
Braden.
But not the Braden I know...
Wait. I don't know Braden at all. Why would I even think that?
But not the Braden everyone knows...he's...different.
Yes, it's the same day. But he's walking different. With confidence in his step. Swinging his arms. Has a different look on his face. There's only one word for this.
Confident.
He stops in his tracks. He looks like a deer in headlights. He looking at someone.
Me.
Why would he be looking at me?
He starts to walk towards me.
When he gets to me he sits down. Sits down. Next to me.
"What are you doing?" I say.
"What does it look like I'm doing?"
"Um, well...it looks like you're sitting with a bunch of nobodies." I say with sass.
"Well actually I wanted to talk to you about the rumors." He whispers in my ear.
"What about them?" I ask
"Not here. Come on." Braden grabs my right hand and pulls me out of the cafeteria.
"I won't talk to you anymore. So you don't have to deal with the rumors." I say looking down.
"No. That's not what I want."
"Then what do you want?" I ask.
"I want...to...confirm them."
What?!?!? He wants to what?!?!
"What?" I ask
"Claire, I want to confirm the rumors."
I don't even know what that means.
"What?" I ask again.
"Would you wanna go out with me sometime?"
Oh. My. God. Did he just ask me out? Why would he do that? I just take in the moment and look into his eyes before saying...
"Yes."

So this is the chapter where things start to pick up.
And I would like to say thanks to @LavenderGal11 for the idea that Braden sits down with Claire at lunch!!
Lemme know what you think!
Be happy!
