Golden-Brook High

Faith

I nod at his brother and take my pomb-pombs out of my backpack, sliding them beside me. Ugh. Being sixteen people think I shouldn't be a cheerleader...

Jason

Alex nods back and eats his food, not saying anything. I shrug it off, relieved, and focus on my food as well.

Faith

I don't eat anything, and just go on my phone, sighing.

Jason

This is boring...and awkward. I clear my throat and glance around, "So, um, what classes do you guys have next?"

Faith

I shrug, "P.E...Then Study hall...and that's all I know. I just started today."

Jason

I nod and look at Lis, who has my next class and then study hall with Faith. Alex jumps in and looks at Faith.

"I have P.E.," he says, "Which probably isn't a good thing for you."

Faith

I flash a smile at Alex, "How? I mean...That means I won't be the only crazy one there, right?" I wink at him before getting biting my lip and glancing around the lunchroom.D*mn. This place is huge.

Alex

I flash a smile and shake my head, "You're my new best friend, kid. Jason, you've been replaced."

Faith

I laugh a little bit at what Alex says and lose my smile when those popular girls come and start playing with my hair, "Ooh, look who's here. The sixteen year old Sophomore..."

I glance up at them, "Shut up before I freeze you're pretty little faces."

"Oho," One of them says, "We're just playin' around."

I shake my head and look back down at my phone, trying not to lash out.

Alex

I study the group of girls before moving to the other side of Faith and removing their hands from her hair, "Don't touch people... It's weird."

Faith

I glance at Alex, shaking my head, and they put they're hands up before giggling and walking away. I run a hand through my hair and take my face in my hands, "I hate them."

Alex

I nod, "They're just nice to look at. Nothing more."

Faith

I smile and nod, liking how he understands. Jake sits on the other side of me and slings an arm around my shoulders, "Fa. Forgive me?"

I flash a small smile, "Yeah. Why not.."

He smiles and squeezes me, making me cough, before letting me go, "Thanks, sis."

Alex

I frown at the new guy and look away from the two, hating losing attention that easy. I look at Jason and find him engrossed in conversation with the other girl. That will so be used for teasing later.

Faith

Jake sighs and listens to us, "You guys confuse me..."
