Dysfunctional (Sequel to Soft Whispers)

Rude (pt.2)

"Why do you always do that?" Katelyn asked seriously.

"Do what?" Shania questioned like she hadn't just insulted me.

"Insult people, Shay".

"Katy, calm down" Emily spoke, her voice was soft.

"Yeah" Maria chimed in, "let's just take a deep breath".

"I can't calm down, she does it with everyone" Katelyn explained, "and I mean everyone".

The once over the top, Katelyn, was no longer over the top. She seemed stressed out and angered.

Hey, just breathe. It's okay.

Shania gave me a look that was a mixture between irritation and confusion.

"Why the hell are you writing shit down?"

Could she drop the damn attitude?

Because I don't talk.

"And why the hell not?"

Because of personal reasons.

I watched as she rolled her eyes, "what could possibly be so personal that you stopped talking? That's just stupid to me".

I glared at her.

"Shania, for God's sake, her boyfriend killed himself!" Katelyn exclaimed.

Shania looked at me but didn't say anything for a while. She finally looked down.

"I'm sorry, I was not aware".

It's whatever.

I held my whiteboard in between my arm and side as I stood up with my tray. I looked over to where my brother and Chresanto were sitting, there wasn't anymore empty seats.

Great! Lunch by myself!

I looked for an empty table and when I found one, I walked over and sat down.

So much for new friends.

I rolled my eyes.

I know right.

I set my whiteboard down and picked up my water bottle. I looked around the lunch room and saw everyone had someone to talk to, except for me. 

I looked over at Chresanto and watched as he laughed at something my brother said. He looked over at Katelyn's table and noticed I was no longer there. He scanned the lunch room before finally spotting me by myself. It only took a nudge from Chresanto for Ray to notice me. They both stood up with their trays and walked over to me.

"What happened?" Chresanto asked as they both sat down across from me. 

Shania lowkey insulted me, so I got up and left.

"She insulted you? What'd she say?" Ray asked seriously. 

I shook my head a little. 

Nothing.

"Come on, Bria" Chresanto stated. 

She said that she thought I'd be prettier since I went on a date with you. She also said I could lose a few pounds.

"So she basically called you fat?" Chresanto asked. 

I nodded. 

Basically.

"Where is she?" Ray questioned. 

It's not a big deal, Ray. You don't have to talk to her.

I didn't want him to talk to her because then that'll only cause more drama. 

I looked at Chresanto, he looked angered.

Please don't go and talk to her. 

His gaze softened and he nodded a little. 

Ray sighed, "at least let me know what she looks like?" 

I looked back at Katelyn's table. 

Shania was no longer there.

>>*<<

"Hey, look, I'm really sorry". 

I turned around and saw Katelyn. 

"Shania had no right to talk to you like that". 

Yeah, what's with her anyway?

"I don't know, she's just.... I don't know". 

Oh, well, um... It's okay. 

"I just feel so guilty, maybe I could make it up to you some how?" 

I don't know... You really don't have to.

"Okay, maybe we could just try the lunch thing again sometime?" 

Yeah, maybe.

I held my whiteboard to my chest and walked down the hall.
