Echoing: When It All Began

Chapter 9, T

"I'll try..but if she does again I will bite her!" Brianna shouts.
"don't say that out loud, they're gonna think you're feral." Noah, who was sitting in the passenger seat told his little sister.
"Shut up Noah!" Brianna shouted.
"Brianna." Penny said sternly.

Brianna rolled her eyes.
"The amount of attitude she has at 4, it's surreal.." Noah mumbled to himself.
Penny turned around and looked at her son.
"What? I'm not lying.." Noah tells her.

"Just..okay. Brianna just, go in, if I get another phone call about you acting up again, I'm taking away Emmy for a week." Penny told her daughter sternly.

"No!" Brianna screamed, hugging her doll.
Penny sighed.
"Oh my days, just go in already!" Noah rushed her.
"Noah." Penny muttered.
"We've been sitting here for half an hour" Noah complains to his mum.
Penny sighed once again, annoyed.

"Have a good day, Brianna. I'll be back at 1 o'clock as usual." Her mother says, before Brianna scoffed and walked away into the preschool.

Penny closed the door of the car, then drove off.

2 hours had passed, it was now break time for little miss Brianna.

"Go away!" She shouted at a girl who had been bothering her.
"You go away!" The girl shouted back.
Brianna stared at her, before walking over to the sand pit and grabbed sand in her hands.

The other girl was confused, until Brianna walked back over and threw it at her face.

"OWWW! MISSS!" The girl cried with sand in her eyes.
Brianna laughed.

The girl came back, hugging the teacher's leg.

"Brianna. Do I really need to call your mother again?" The teacher asked.
Brianna looked up at her.
"Mummy is mad at me, so no!" She smiled.
The teacher sighed.

"Charlotte, let's go wash your eyes." She muttered, the little girl by the name of Charlotte nodded and the teacher guided her to the nearest water tap.

"That was funny!" Another little girl shouted.
Brianna turned around.
This girl was in her play-group but she never really spoke to her.

"Yes it was, but now I'm going to get in trouble by mummy again." Brianna muttered, crossing her arms.
"Oh well! She deserves it, she was being annoying!" The girl exclaimed.
Brianna nodded, smiling.
"Do you know my name?" The girl asked.
Brianna shook her head.
"Well, I'm Marilyn!" The girl shouted!
"I'm Bri-"
"I know who you are Brianna!" Marilyn cut off Brianna's sentence.

"Come, let's go play with our dollies!" Marilyn says, grabbing Brianna's hand.
Brianna smiled as she dragged her away.

Brianna was glad she made a new friend, they hugged each other good bye before working their separate ways.

Penny was waiting outside the car for her daughter.

"Mummy! I made a new friend!" Brianna exclaimed.
Penny nodded.
"Why did you throw sand at a girl's face?" She asked.
