Golden-Brook High

Faith

I shrug, "Lets go in. S'gonna rain soon."

Alex

I nod and stand when the bell rings, helping her up and slinging my bag over my shoulder. I hold out my hand for her, "C'mon then, kid."

Faith

I flash a smile at him and take his hand, walking in with him.

Alex

I walk into the cafeteria side-by-side with her and sit at Jason's table, her next to me. Jason stares at us, unbelieving, before shaking his head and getting back to conversation with Lis.

Faith

I sigh but don't eat, not trusting the food they serve here, and watch everyone else, "How can you eat that?" I put mine away, shuddering.

Alex

"I don't," I flash a smile, pulling out a paper bag from my own pack, "I bring my lunch."

Jason shrugs, "Alex stopped making food for me... So I stopped caring. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?"

Faith

I shake my head, "So gross."

Someone comes up behind me, putting her hands over my eyes, "Guess who."

I bite my lip, "Ruby?"

"Correct!" She laughs, sliding on the other side of me.

"What are you doing here?" I ask flashing a smile.

She shrugs, "Got bored at home. So....Yeah."

Alex

I glance at her sister before pulling my food out of the bag and beginning to eat.

Faith

I take Alex's hand from underneath the table and flash a smile at him, Ruby glancing around, "Who are these people?"

I shrug, "This is Alex, Lis and Jason."

She nods at them, "Okay..."

I nod back, awkward, and she looks at me, "What the hell..."

She touches my black eye that I forgot was there, and I cringe.

"What happened?" She asks, glancing around again.

"Them..." I nod at those popular girls and she sneers before walking over to them.

Oh...sh*t.

Alex

I flash a smile and turn around to watch, "Finally, entertainment."

Faith

I sigh, turning around as well, "This isn't gonna end well.."

Ruby taps the main girl on the shoulder and she turns around, chuckling, "Can I help you?"

Ruby just raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms, "How old are you?"

"Seventeen..." she replies.

"Oh! Great, that means its' not illegal to pound you're face in, right?" She says annoyed.

Alex

I turn to Faith, "Should I mention it kind of is? I mean, if she's older than 18..."

Faith

I shake my head, "Nah. Ruby doesn't hurt people. She just threatens..."

They end up yelling and security has to break them apart, Ruby being forced into the office, "And that's my sister..." I mutter, turning foward again.

Alex

I chuckle and watch, facing forward when Faith does, "Okay then."

Faith

I nod, "Exactly..." I sigh, annoyed.
