Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 345: Ethan
Avery's POVI was alone in the coffee shop on the south side of campus with nothing in front of me because I had not ordered anything and was not sure I was going to.The barista from the week before was not on shift. There was a different one today, younger, who had taken one look at me, asked if I needed a minute before ordering, and I had said yes. That had been twenty minutes ago. At some point I was going to have to either order or leave and I was not ready to do either.My phone was in my bag.I had put it in there before leaving the house because the alternative was spending the afternoon watching the share count on footage of my own face. I had done enough of that this week to know what it cost me.I looked at the wall."Do you mind if I sit here?"I looked up.A man from one of my lectures. He had been in the same room as me for one class all semester and we had been in a seminar group together briefly in July. I knew his name because the lecturer used it. He asked good ques
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 344: Squad meeting
Avery's POVVega called an emergency meeting for Wednesday at four.The message went to the full squad list. Mandatory attendance. Meeting room off the main corridor. Thirty minutes. I read it and put my phone down and thought about what thirty minutes in a room with all of them again was going to feel like.Then I stopped because it did not change what it was going to be.I got there first and took the seat at the end of the table nearest the window. Behind me I could see the athletics building and the car park and Liam's usual parking spot which was empty at this hour. I looked at the whiteboard instead. Someone had written a formation count on it in blue marker that had never been fully wiped and underneath it in lighter marks from two or three meetings ago were other diagrams that had become ghosts.I kept my eyes on the whiteboard and waited.They came in. Mia took the chair to my left. Chloe took the seat across from me, put her hands on the table, and looked at nothing. Brianna
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 343: Next rehearsal
Avery's POVI got to the gym early and stood in the middle of the floor with nobody else in it and breathed.I had about eight minutes before the first person arrived. I had the floor under my feet and the lights overhead and the quiet of a space that was waiting to be used. I needed those eight minutes. Because the practice was the one part of the week I was certain about and I wanted to stand in it before it got complicated again.They started coming in at five forty.Mia was first. She walked in, looked at me, said nothing, dropped her bag by the wall, and started stretching. I felt a bit hurt because she didn't walk up to me, but I understood. Right now she meant nothing elaborate. Just I am here, let us get to work.Chloe came in second. She said, "Morning, captain," said with the care Chloe used when she was choosing her words. Not unfriendly. Careful. I had known her long enough to know which one this was.Five more came in together talking about something that stopped when the
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 342: first words
Jade's POV I saw him again on Thursday. Not in the coffee shop this time. In the lecture hall, which was where I had suspected I knew him from before. we had both attended that lecture for over twelve weeks without ever having an actual conversation. Public Administration was a big module. Big enough that you could sit in the same room as someone for an entire semester and not know their name. You could know just their face and the general area of the room where they usually sat and nothing else whatsoever. He came in late. Not significantly late. Four minutes, maybe five. The lecturer had started but was still on the first slide which was always the agenda slide that nobody actually needed. The agenda was on the module page and everyone had already seen it. Ethan came in and scanned the room and took a seat on the end of the row two ahead of mine. I watched him settle. He pulled out a notebook rather than a laptop. That was worth noticing because most people in that module ha
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 341: Lunch
Liam's POVI was so glad our project was done and submitted before my fall out with Avery. It would have been a nightmare having to work with her after the incident.The project grade came back on Monday.I saw it in my inbox when I woke up. Grade Release: Urban Planning and Community Development Group Project. I opened it at six forty-five, before coffee, before my brain was properly functional.Distinction.I closed the email and went to make coffee.Later I was in the library at the table near the window when Zoey came in. She did not come to my table immediately. She went to the shelf along the right wall, got a book, brought it back to the table two across from mine, and started reading.I was aware she was there.She had not made her presence into something I was required to respond to, which I had noticed about her appearances in the last week and a half. Just there. Not pushing but not avoiding.There was a Zoey I had been bracing for after everything with Avery. The one who a
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 340: Who's that guy?
Jade's POVSince I was taking a break from Avery, I was feeling a bit lonely and bored. I needed to do more things on my own.So on thursday afternoon, I was at the coffee shop on the south side of campus.I had been going there since my first year because it stayed open until late and had the corner table with the outlet near the wall and the barista who remembered I took oat milk without being asked.I was at the corner table with my laptop open and my notes spread beside it, trying to finish a paragraph that would not move, when the door opened.I did not look up.The door opened and closed fifteen times an hour. I did not have the attention span to look up every time.But the laugh made me.Not some fake laugh. Not the kind someone turns up for a room to hear. The kind that was surprised out of him rather than done for anyone.He was standing near the counter with someone I did not recognise — a guy from what looked like the science block based on the lanyard. The science block gu
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 133: Here for you
Avery's POVI called Jade from my room that evening when I got home.She picked up on the second ring. I could hear her moving somewhere in the background, the sound of her footsteps on the floor, and then a chair being pulled out."I was wondering when you were going to call," she said. “I'm so s
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 132: What would she do
Avery's POVWe packed up at the same time without discussing it.Liam closed his laptop and stacked his notes and I did the same, and we moved through the end of the session without talking, which had always been one of the things about working with him that I had noticed early on. He did not fill
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 111: The photo
Avery's POVI looked at the laptop screen carefully, and it was a picture, another picture. It was a company event photograph.The picture was dated eight years ago and the resolution was low, the kind of image that got posted to a firm's social media page at the end of an evening and never taken d
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 109: Dean and Carter?
Avery's POVNeither of us moved when the doorbell rang.My mum's hands were still wrapped around her mug. She looked at the hallway and then back at me.The bell rang again.I stood up. I walked down the hallway and put my hand on the door handle and held it there for one second before I opened it.
