Lakeview: Falling for Brie

✨✨Jake✨✨It's been almost three years since my best friend Brianna moved away to California. We were inseparable, did everything, and went everywhere together.She was one of the only people I was ever willing to open up to and be myself with. We went our separate ways when we graduated high school. She attends USC, and I'm attending MTSU- or Middle Tennessee State University.I have one year to graduate, along with my buddies Jeremy and Matthew. The three of us come from the same town, Lakeview. A small quiet countryside town. Most folks there have been living there from generation to generation.My family and Brie's included.I've been playing football here since my first year. We got recruited when we were in high school. I get scolded by the coach all the time. He and everyone always say I have a big temper and need to work on it. I really just don't have the patience for anyone's stupidities and their bullshit. I took up boxing a bit after Brie left for college. It helped me chan

Matthew's POVIt's our senior year of college, and we have been practicing like crazy all of July and August before school starts. The coach was pissed that I took off and went on vacation with my mom and her boyfriend Phillip in the middle of our practice time. I missed half of the practice this summer. He threatened to bench me in the first games; luckily, Jake spoke up for me, making the coach give me another chance. He really listens to him.We're in the week before school starts. Honestly, school starts tomorrow; Jake and I realized yesterday we haven't even bought anything for school. So we decided to go today to get our supplies. If it weren't for my mom and Jake's mom, who made us sign up for our classes during summer break, we'd be in trouble now, trying to get spots in style. We did that last year, and it wasn't pretty. We got stuck with a shitty schedule. I'm usually pretty good at getting up early, but today I got up really late. Practice was kicking our ass this year. The

Brianna's POVI woke up to my alarm this morning. It read 6 a.m., ughhh. I was still feeling a bit tired, from all the last details we set up yesterday at the house. But none the less, I got up.I rushed and bathed quickly, still in a daze, I was more sleepy then awake. I brushed my teeth, added deodorant, sprayed my favorite Victoria's secret spray, love potion. My hair was naturally wavy and came down to my butt, but I wanted my hair sleek and straight today, so I dried it with my blow drier, then I quickly straightened it. I retouched my eyebrows a bit, did my mascara and nothing else for makeup.I loved that I had huge eyelashes thanks to my momma. So my main focus was always my eyes. I didn't like wearing powder or foundation since I'd forget a

Brianna's POVI woke up around 4 in the morning. Although it wasn't daylight yet, I felt so well rested. I hadn't slept this good in a really long time.I realized I was still laying on the couch with Jake. I was laying on his side, my hand and head on his chest, our legs interlaced together. Our bodies pressed next to one other as I layed partially on top.I was nervous by our position. It took me back to our little incident a few weeks ago. I didn't want him getting the wrong idea of me if he woke up, although maybe I didn't mind.I didn't want to move away. I liked holding him like this, the feel of his warm embrace, his light stubble tickling my face, his soft snores tha

Third person's POVFriday morning before the start of school.Brianna and the boys had already made their way back to campus after having breakfast together. She was admiring the view of football players walking in to campus.... well, at least one football guy in particular.Vanessa was driving back to school from the nearby cafe where her and Carissa had gone up to have breakfast themselves. She informed Carissa she needed to pull over and pump gas before getting there.When she parked next to the nearest available pump, she spotted a girl who apparently looked lost.She was probably a new student. she thought it courteous to approach her asking her if she needed help. Finding out she was a new student after all.She was looking for direction towards the campus, whom she had tired away looking for it, attempt after attempt. She had just arrived today and she'd been drivin
