Alone No More {slow updates}

Chapter 2 ~ Routine

Her group consisted of 6 girls; 7 if you included Brandalynn. There was Nyssa, Layla, Mandy, Jen, Micky, and Danni.

Nyssa was the smart one. She had blue eyes and dyed her hair with black roots, but shoulder length platinum blonde hair, with her bottom underneath hair also black.  Layla was the clutz with Chocolate Brown hair and eyes and tan skin. Mandy was the jokester of the group with Blonde hair with black streaks, and brown eyes. Jen was the childish one. She had her natural brown hair, and dark eyes. And then there's Micky and Danni, who were just nuts. Micky had dark hair and brown eyes and tan skin, and Danni had her honey brown hair, dark eyes, and tan skin as well. They were just Bonkers. Although they were nice in their own moments...

Funnily enough, a conversation could never dullen with the girls, yet Brandalynn could easily find herself excluded from it. Feeling left out was easy when 6 other girls were stating their own mind.

The bell rang, interrupting the conversation the girls had about if it was possible to slip on a banana peel. Nyssa had explained the history of the myth, and the bell had stopped any further discussion.

Brandalynn walked as a ghost alongside Nyssa, Layla, and Micky who had her First Class, while Danni, Mandy and Jen had another class.

Algebra 2 first thing on the morrow was a pain in the neck. Concentrating was a nightmare. Good thing Brandalynn had her smartie Nyssa in all her Academic classes, just not her PE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The class went by slowly, with Second and Third class the same way. Second class Brandalynn had Danni, Micky and Jen in her class with her, and in Third, the whole group was there.

Finally it was time for lunch. The girls headed for the lunch line for food whilst Brandalynn stayed behind and sat. She hadn't the stomach for lunch. No one noticed she was beginning to show signs of Anorexia, and she dismissed the thought.

Instead, she just sat and waited for them. Brandalynn sat underneath a shady tree on a bench, waiting.

Few minutes later the girls came with their food, and claimed their places on the bench. They would just sit, eat, and chat the whole lunch through.

"So when were we going to test this Banana Myth?" Danni asked.

"How about Layla tries it, since it WOULD be something LAYLA would do..." Mandy joked.

"Try it! I want to see if it works!" Nyssa exclaimed.

"Of course you'd want to experiment" Layla mumbled.

"Just run up to it, step on it, and see if you slip" Mandy instructed as she laid a peel on the cement below.

"Fine. Fine" Layla said and took a few steps back.

Would she slip? Or was it just a myth?

Layla ran toward, and once her shoe came in contact with the Banana peel, it slid, causing poor Layla to slip, fall, and land on her rump.

The whole group burst into laughter, including Brandalynn.

"That... That was funny" Danni said.

"Funny? It was f***ing HILARIOUS!" Mandy yelled and doubled over in laughter.

"That was funny Layla," Jen helped Layla up.

"Her face..... It was..... So.... Oh my god!" Mandi rolled on the floor laughing.

"Shut up, you @ss!" Layla kicked Mandy's side.

"Ow!" Mandy protested and grabbed Layla's feet, knocking her over once more.

As they wrestled on the ground like fools, Nyssa and Micky took pictures.

"So posting these on Instagram," Micky said.

"And Facebook" Nyssa finished.

Lunch was over, and the giggling girls went to their Fourth Class. Brandalynn went with Danni and Micky to PE.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Running track laps the whole class time, Danni and Micky talked on and on about celebrities, including Brandalynn into the conversation once, only to remember she hardly watched TV. Brandalynn replied simply by saying her favourite good looking celebrity was probably "the guy who played Captain America"... And that brought Danni and Micky into a whole conversation about Chris Evans.

I brought this onto myself, she thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fifth and Sixth Class were still a bore. Nyssa rejoined Brandalynn and Micky, along with Layla in Fifth. And in Sixth, Micky, Nyssa, Layla, Mandy, and Jen all had the same class.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With the dragging day finished, Brandalynn was just grateful that her teachers weren't big fans of homework. All she had was a worksheet for Algebra 2, and one for Third Class Biology.

Brandalynn made her way to the Buses, and boarded her bus, #27. The bus usually filled up, but no one cared to sit next to Brandalynn.

Quiet murmurs hushed in the bus, which was odd since it was usually noisy.

She heard the footsteps of someone getting on the bus, and she felt the presence linger near her. She looked up and saw someone who made Chris Evans  flail in comparison. He had gorgeous crystal blue eyes, blondish brown hair, and gosh he was a cutie.

And apparently every other girl on the bus thought the same.

But the guy thought nothing of them. His focus stayed on Brandalynn.

"Come on Jay! Forget about her!" One of the jocks yelled from the back of the bus.

Guilt seemed to pass through, who Brandalynn assumed was Jay's, blue eyes.

He resumed his way to the back.

That was when Brandalynn looked down at her arms, and saw that her sleeves were slightly pulled up, revealing some of her visible scars. He'd surely have noticed, if he'd known where to look.

"Forget about her" Brandalynn repeated softly and tugged her sleeves back down.
