Or a distant fourth because there was Shawn Malone, the handsome easy going boy that Sarah had crushed on ALL through middle school and truthfully to this day. But he was "Property of Colbie" as the two had been dating since Freshman year. While there had been some fights and breakups they always gravitated back to each other, again and again. Blonde hair, gray eyes, and a full-on murderously heart-stopping smile. It should have been illegal for a guy to be able to smile that way! Best of all was his body, neither Brick or Marco were anything but fit yet they seemed lazy boys next to Shawn. According to the pics of him at the beach last week he had pecs, a six-pack, and hard lean muscles that Sarah realized recalling now was probably going to turn her into a stupid mumbling moron until well after he left.
And Shawn wasn't even the hottest guy in school! Sarah was aware of herself enough to know he was the hottest guy she could ever have a chance at, (Lucy might have disagreed, not that she would have told her friend that.) even if a small one. A really really small one based on when Marco and her sometimes (rarely) talked and Shawn would come up with a nod, not sneering that his best friend would be talking to the likes of her. And better was he often smiled at her as they passed in the halls. Lucy and their other friend Kathy never reported Shawn smiling at them! But that all made it worse. That there was a tiny chance that if she was cool, that maybe just maybe, Shawn could like her. Just a little.
It was only as they were right at the door that Sarah realized how slutty she was dressed. A tiny skirt that barely covered her panties and her damn nipples were poking out at the top of the sweater again! Now she was freaked out more than she was turned on. (Seeing her top three boys all in one place did have her a little... tingly despite her embarrassment, some crazy hope that they'd see her and realize how much they wanted her.) It was too late to change though, as soon as she looked up, thinking she had to run and at least put on a different bra, they were waving at her. Seeing her through the curtains.
"Sarah Perkins!" Brick called as he hopped up onto the porch, calling her name loudly, pronouncing it in a peppy enthusiastic way.
Knowing she'd seem like a weirdo if she ran off now she waved back, stepped behind the door. Timing the soft bangs of her forehead against the wood as the grandfather clock chimed four, wondering how she'd gotten herself into this situation. How mortified she was going to be to answer this door and have four FRIENDS over when her breasts were about to fall out if she did anything but stand up straight. And perfectly still. It would be worse (or as bad) to deny them entry, so with a sigh she flipped the lock and opened the door.
"Sarah Perkins!" Saying it again in the same way before Brick gave her a hug!
The others said her name in that way too, but it was background static. There had been a time or two when Brick had hugged her, now as then she could have floated to the moon, dragging him along with her where they could have lived out the rest of their days together. But that would have robbed her of him stepping back to openly and very un-friend-zone-like letting those brown eyes travel down and then back up her again, his attention stalling on her tits both times.
"God damn girl! Sarah Perkins, you literally look like all of our fantasies come true." Motioning back to all three of the guys who were literally doing the same thing Brick was, ogling her with shock and awe. "Ooh, you even got Colbie catching flies."
"Yeah babe, you're practically drooling." Shawn said, closing his girlfriend's dropped jaw with a tap on the chin.
"Brick, you idiot! I don't think she wanted ALL of us coming over, I think she just wanted YOU." It was a little embarrassing but Brick blinked, looked back, and the realization hit him only at Colbie (So embarrassing loudly!) pointing it out. Marco was nodding, he'd gotten that idea almost right away. Shawn laughed, shrugged, and strolled right in. Colbie looked to her boyfriend, almost pleading. "Maybe we should go?"
"Nah! Brick and her can still run off to the bedroom for thirty seconds or whatever it takes him." Embarrassing her and insulting his friend while pointing at the TV. "She has that new game I've wanted to play and we've got nowhere else to go."
Marco let out a shocked cry at the sight of the game Shawn just casually helped himself too, hurrying in while Shawn looked for the system in her dad's old entertainment center. Colbie at least gave her a look, silently asking if it was cool. Sarah nodded that it was but really what was a girl like Sarah Perkins going to do? Tell Shawn Malone and Marco Soto to get out? Colbie nodded back, looking relieved that she didn't have to try and drag the two away. Taking a single step before looking back at Brick.
For a second Sarah thought she had something to worry about. That there was something going on between the two. Colbie was so very very adorably pretty. Cool, sarcastic, and so aware of who she was. She had a baseball cap on in a way that still showed off most of her silky soft midnight black hair, hanging loose and straight all the way down past her shoulders. A friendly but alluring pink mouth. Worst of all (For a big girl like Sarah to be standing so close to, for her to worry she had competition with.) was that Colbie had a nearly perfect body. The front of her white t-shirt popped out by a really decent sized rack, the t-shirt ending way before any that Sarah owned did, showing off a midriff like Sarah had never had and never could achieve. The belly riding the line of still a hundred percent feminine but also damn near having a six-pack of her own. A hint of her hips were visible before her black (fashionably tattered) jeans hugged her lower body, her long legs.
Colbie was hot! And if she wanted Brick Sarah knew she was not going to stand a chance of winning him against the dark haired beauty. But, thankfully, Colbie didn't seem to. She gave Brick a long stern look, Sarah getting the idea that she was the "responsible" one of the group. Brick took a second to register it, Sarah got the pleasing impression that the tall handsome dark skinned boy was distractedly staring down her shirt. Distracted until Colbie nudged her head in Sarah's direction, motioned back at Marco and Shawn with a head shake, then jutted her chin at the hallway. She WANTED Brick to take Sarah away from them and to another room to be alone in.
Unable to help herself, despite it being oh so freaking embarrassing, Sarah mouthed. "Thank you!"
Colbie gave her a nod, turning back to the other two, "I call winner."
"Let's get away from these three for a minute." Brick offered as if it was his idea, Sarah tilting her head up to him and saw he was a bit nervous. Could HE be nervous to be around HER?
"Okay." Even though part of her insisted that she got that wrong, she was delighted, not even thinking about it she reached out and took his hand. Luckily her feet knew what to do, continued moving as she led him down the hallway to the end, where her bedroom was. Hand in hand! "Sorry, it's kind of a mess." It wasn't. "I didn't think I'd have anybody over." Yes she had.
"What? No! It's... It's clean enough to impress my mom, that's saying something." She was embarrassed that he might think it super childish. The last couple of days Lucy and her had been planning this was not enough time to convince her parents to pay for a whole new 'adult' bed set (more pinks and purples), for sure no way they'd agree to paint the walls away from pink and purple stripes. Much less replace the furniture when she'd be leaving home in a few months. He scanned the room but if he judge, he didn't express it. Instead, "Ooh! Shoot! You read these? Chris and I tore through them a few summers ago." Leading her by the hand into her own room, to her bookshelf. Her heart racing that they were in here at all, but that they had something so big in common was amazing. Which made the frown he gave her a minute later so devastating, breaking off the rapid-fire discussion they were having about the books. "Look, I know we've had this... Energy and attraction between us for... Well since forever." She could have died! It was all she could do to stand upright. An expression or something led him to believe holding one hand wasn't enough for the talk, he took both hers in his. Looking straight into her eyes, well after a quick look at her breasts. "You're so beautiful and I just never cracked the courage, or opportunity, to ask you out... Or whatever." WHAT? He sighed and looked away momentarily, really and truly upset about the missed chance. "I let my mom and dad sort of... Nevermind about that, I just want to say that I wish things had been different. I... I don't want to lead you on. You're going away, I'm going away, in... Like a month! Sorry, it's just... Even with technology being what it is I don't think we should try and do anything long distance. I know all sorts of guys..." Snorting a laugh, thinking of Colbie a moment ago as he added, "And gals will be falling all over themselves for you at that veterinary school." He remembered! "It just doesn't seem right to try something we both know will fail." Lifting her hands a little, catching her eyes. "I'll promise you this, after four years when we both come back, we should give this a try."
