FrAcTuReD (Part One) (Completed continued in Part Two)

Chapter. 02 (Slight Edit)

Charla stopped eating and a frown creased her face.

"Are you okay?"

Instantly Charla snapped out of it and shook her head. "Oh no I'm alright, I actually really like the smell of rain in my room it helps me relax and even sleep at times. Sorry if it bothered you I'll try not to do that."

"No it's okay, just remember to not leave your window open for long or you might get sick. By the way you don't know how to get to school yet right?"

"I have a map."

Nina shook her head. "A map can only do so much; my school is on the way so I'll walk with you how's that?"

Somehow she felt like the rolls were completely reversed here. But seeing Nina smile the way she did Charla couldn't help but agree. "Sure,"

The two walked along a path near that of a small river Nina then stopped part way and pointed down the road. "You keep going straight until you hit the next cross walk then you go right, and all the way up the hill is your school." Nina then turned and began to go the other way. "My school is this way, so I'll see you at home okay?"

"Sure you don't want me to come and get you?" Charla offered.

"No that's alright. I'll see you later!" and then ran off the other way down the road.

When Nina was gone Charla's smile fell as she looked to the sky the sound of the heavy rain hitting against her umbrella. "It happened again huh..." with a deep frown and a frustrated growl Charla took the headphones resting on her shoulders and put them on her ears before scrolling through her playlist and finding the song she was looking and hit play before continuing on her way.

Following the directions that Nina gave her Charla made her way, noticing a number of other people her age wearing the same uniform as she was.

Looks like I'm going the right way... she thought and continued to follow them keeping her normal pace not bothering to listen in to the conversations that students were talking about. Her music isolating Charla into her own mind, ignoring those around her like she had done many times before. She barely heard the sound of a girl's voice before being yanked to a stop and a car speeding past the small intersection, the car being only a foot away from her.

Charla was then forcefully turned around and a tall brunet with short hair looked at her with angry blue eyes. Instantly Charla hit the mute button right on time when the girl shouted.

"Do you have a damn death wish girl!?" before being shook slightly. "You almost got hit by that fucking car!" she then frowned when Charla didn't answer and pressed her cheeks together with her hands. "Are you even listening to me with those damn headphones on?!"

"Yes..." Charla said with her face still squished in the girl's hands, feeling the rings she wore almost leave an imprint before the girl moved away her hands so Charla could pull down her headphones. "Thank you for helping me. I've never gone this way and it looked peaceful enough, I didn't think a car would move through here like that."

"Geeze, don't you know anything? This area is infamous for people getting hit by assholes who don't know how to step on the damn brakes. Even if this is a residential area to boot those bastards don't care who it is. Bunch of pricks..." The girl glared down the road with arms folded across her chest before noticing that Charla was holding up the umbrella so she wouldn't get soaked.

"To be fair I've never gone this way because I haven't gone to this school. Today's supposed to be my first day."

"Oh, so you're a transfer student then."
