loving the lost

Chapter 1

"Bryn, did you hear me?" Amber hissed at me receiving a glare from Mrs.Bradley.

"Your going on about your boyfriend issues and getting me in trouble!" I angrily snapped at Amber a little meaner than I intended to be.

I roll my eyes as she continues to babble pointlessly about Mark. Luckily to my rescue the dismissal bell rings. I am out the door before Amber can catch me to continue with her problems with Mark. It is our senior year so Amber constantly wants to hang out. I rush to my car to head home. I see the worst five girls that exist in Greenbrooke. They blocking  my car while talking to Stephen Harper the schools prized quarterback and basketball star. The one queen bee of their little click is Charlotte Anderson, head cheer leader. Then her right hand girl is Kelly Johnson also a cheer Barbie. Then you have the terrible trio containing Heather Williams, Arielle Stanley, and Isabelle Murdoch. These three are Charlotte's three henchmen. I push past them trying to hide my annoyance with all of them for being in my way. I hear Stephen yell to me as a start to pull away from the school thankful to get away from there. Stephen has been trying to talk to me since I caught him cheating on m. I pull into the garage knowing my "family" won't be home until seven. When my dad and step mom bring my sister's home from Mandy's moms. The twins have red hair and green eyes from their mom and pale skin from our father. I run up the stairs to my room to spend my evening alone when dad will bring me my dinner and tell me that it hurts Mandy's feelings when I don't eat with the family. Emry and Carter don't see me because Mandy thinks my attitude toward her will affect the way her daughter's will act. I am deep in thought sitting on my bed in my antisocial Behavior, when I hear something hit my window. I open the window and hear yelling.

   "Brynlee Nicole Herondale! Get your cute butt down here and open the door!" My best friend Rieley yells who is going to get my grumpy neighbors to call me dad.

  "Rieley, you do know that I have neighbors right?" I question him suspiciously. Then turning to dart down the staircase to the front door.

  I open the door to see the three best boys of my friend circle yelling " SURPRISE!" Luke holding pizza and movies, Daniel holding pop and Rieley had other snacks. All three boys smiled sheepishly at me as I let them run up to my room. These boys knew I did nothing on a boring Thursday night and that I was avoiding Mandy at all costs. I had been friends with the boys since fifth grade when I moved with dad to Greenbrooke  for a fresh start after my mom mom died. The boys make themselves feel at home instantly. I think about the past I was always bailing them out of trouble. I have always been the good girl.

We were halfway through the first movie when Daniel asked me "Bryn ,why did Amber call me sounding hysterical talking about you running off?" Pulling me abruptly back to the present time.

" Probably because I bolted from last period to get away from her obsessive boyfriend babble." I explain plainly.

   "This pizza is amazing right? "Luke inquired clearly trying to lighten the mood.

Credits started to roll across the screen "That was a good movie! I think so anyway." Rieley smiled at everyone a chorus of yes' mumbled throughout the room

The bed room door swings open and my tall dad is standing there with his brown hair smiling "honey come spend time with the family" he encourages me 

" Bye Bryn." Echoes through my room as the boys leave taking  the snacks and pizza box shuffling away.

" Bye Boys see you tomorrow." I frown as they leave .

"Dad please go away I already ate."I plead not wanting to see Mandy at all tonight.

"All right honey." Dad left not wanting to argue with me

    I looked in the mirror and saw my mom looking back at me. Since she died it has been hard for him to look at me. I scan our matching features I pick her blonde hair, long bony fingers, height, thin body stature, and most important feature is my eyes. The main connection between us we both have one blue and one brown eye. I have always been set aside, especially during freshman year.  My eyes made me different, also I was the cute shy girl with more friends that are male rather than female. But worst of all I was the girl with no mom. I remember seeing tweets detailing girls nights and sleep overs i chose not to go to. I layed my self down in my bed with the lights off and drifted to sleep to the radio on my bed side table.
