ENJOY!
Chapter Nine: The Trouble With Life Is There's No Background Music.
"Bridgette Fray have you completely fucking lost your mind?" Jace yells his arm dropped toward the table. Slapping his folders hard against the table.
The sound echoed through the room, causing me to flinch slightly. But no one else even blinked.
I turn my head to Alec, who stood beside Brena. His arm wrapped around her waist. He looked straight at me, being the only person to do so. Everyone else avoided my glance...
Alec didn't agree with me. But he wasn't going to speak out about it. He knew my reasoning, and as usual without me even telling him about it. We didn't get to see each other much, but when we did. It was like no time had passed... Well time past and we knew more. What stayed the same was the connection we were born with. I always knew when he was near me, when he got hurt, and when he needs me. That worked both way.
But mostly.
It was the fact that our moods were contagious to each other.
Everything can change, but our connection will always stay the same.
Their was something reassuring about that.
Brena nudged him, and he looked away from me to her. And I felt his concern, then his slight annoyance.
Since she didn't want him paying any attention to me, because she whole heart-edly disapproved of my plan. Her arms were tightly crossed over her chest. Her face tilted down, her eyes closed. The way her head leaned forward caused her brown hair to fall over her face, hiding her face from everything around her. Hiding her light green eyes from my own.
I looked toward Zander, having heard his annoyed sigh. His dark brown hair was over grown and fell over his face, he was leaning against the wall. But he was in the exact position his sister was in. Just like Brena his arms were cross, his head down, eyes closed, and was hiding from the 'bullshit' that was my idea.
Derek was leaning against the front of his desk, his arms also crossed over his chest and his head down, eyes closed...
Why won't anyone look at me!
It's insulting!
But I also knew Derek knew I was right, he just wasn't going to say it.
I look over my shoulder to Colin.
He was standing the closest to me. His body was facing me, but his face was turned away from my his eyes cast down. And like EVERYONE else. His arms are crossed.
Now I settle my eyes back to Jace.
Who was still frowning at me.
I look back towards him, my jaw clenched tight as I shrug.
Sighing I completely giving up.
So I just nod, and since it was a trend in the room, I cross my arms, "Yes, yes I have lost my 'damn fucking mind'. I walk towards Jace, placing a light bounce into my step, which only makes his frown more. "I have even gotten as far as to befriend insanity!" I say with a smile, turning so my back was to the table. "But I do not want you to worry." I lift myself onto the table, sitting. I wave my hand, and look away from everyone, as if dismissing the topic. "I do not 'suffer' from insanity." I turn toward Jace, locking eyes with him, my head tilts slight, as a huge grin spreads along my cheeks, "I enjoy every second of it"
The room fills with sighs, and mumbled words of annoyance. But Derek and Colin stay still, stay quiet.
I look between them until a loud bang makes me jump.
