The Badass New Girl

New Friends, Old Habits

SINS POV

The day has been slow. REALLY slow. All of my classes have been the same as the first, they are reviewing stuff from the previous year, some of it is two years old for me though, thank you Eagle Ridge Academy. I haven't really talked to anyone, but there is an app I saw a few kids using, so I got it. Turns out you can anonymously talk to people from your school, and share your name whenever you want, but most people don't. I started talking to this girl, she is a sophomore, and pretty shy. She won't tell me her name, but said if I really want to hang out with a loser, I could sit with her in the corner of the lunch room at a small four person table. I agreed, so now I am waiting for five minutes to pass so I can get out of this stupid class, which is Spanish, in which I am fluent.. Mostly. I almost never use it though, I kind of hate to.

The bell rings and I quickly rush out, I shove my notebooks and things in my locker, grab my lunch and go. Most people have deserted the hall, not needing to open their bag and grab their lunch. Anthony walks up to me and smiles.

"Hey" he says like he has done this a thousand times with a thousand girls. I give him a quick glare and turn to the cafeteria. He quickly matches my pace. "You probably don't have anywhere to sit yet, you can join me and my friends if you want" Does he give up?

"Actually, I do. I tend to be able to care for myself and fix my problems, thanks anyways. I pick up my pace a bit walking into the large crowded room. A lot of people already looking at me.

"I didn't mean any offense. Who are you sitting with?"

"If you must know, my sister has lunch this hour as well, so I am gonna hunt her down and join a girl at her table, although I don't know her name yet." I see my sister and walk over to her, she just finished buying her lunch. "Hey" I smile at her.

"Hey, who's this?" She replies, I turn and see Anthony behind me.

"Uh.. Well bye Ant. See you in class" I say giving him the go away look. He looks surprised for a few seconds, but quickly turns and leaves.

"Nicknames already?" Rockie says annoyed. Her name is Rochelle, but I started calling her Rockie when our parents introduced us, after a few months of them dating might I add.

"What else am I supposed to do? Say all these long names?" I laugh and urge her to follow me. I see a single girl looking sad sitting alone in the corner. I sit down. "Hey, I'm Sin, we were talking with that app. Can I know your name now?" Rockie sits down awkwardly and slightly confused, but smiles at the girl.

"Hello, I'm Rockie." she holds out her hand for the girl to shake, and she does.

"Uh.. I hadn't actually expected you to sit here.. I-I'm Amanda" She replies shyly.

"Can I call you Ams?" I ask.

"Sinthia! Don't be rude!" Rockie comments, always so proper.

"I'm not! I actually asked this time, I normally don't." Amanda laughs at us.

"Yes you can.. I haven't ever actually had a nickname.."

"Not even from your parents?" Ams Shakes her head. "Oh you poor thing!" I exclaim. She laughs again and notices my lunch. She is about to ask, but I beat her to it. "I am a vegetarian, picky eater, and have low blood pressure from, well, past things, I have a strict diet plan." Ams nods in understanding.

"I am vegan, if you inform the school, they can set aside something for you." Rockie starts laughing at this.

"This is the hardest person to eat with. She can't have meat, but she needs extra protein and sugars, she doesn't like half the things you put in front of her, Half the time, she makes herself sushi for dinner. It is super funny when we eat out though." Rockie gives more detail, and is laughing. I start noticing all the attention we are getting, not just because of Rockies loud laughter, but because we are the new kids, so of course we have attention. Rockie looks over at me and stops laughing abruptly, surprising Ams. "Sin don't. Breathe. Eat your lunch." she says the first part sternly, the rest in a caring careful voice. Ams is confused through the whole thing, but I take a bite of my apple, ignoring the stares of everyone, and the shock of the girl sitting in front of me.

I have bi polar disorder, it was really bad, but now it is very controllable, and I no longer take meds for it. I sometimes have really bad moments, Rockie knows how to react to everything. I could either start yelling at everyone to stop staring and leave me the hell alone, or I could start breaking down in intense sobbing, which have made me unconscious one time. I slowly eat my apple, while do a very practiced breathing therapy, and calm down. The three of us have started laughing and cracking jokes, and getting to know each other a little better.

"Hey, uh, can I maybe, sit here..?" I look up and see a boy, in dark clothing standing there. He had on black skinny jeans and a Pierce The Veil sweater. His black converse looked slightly worn, but still new, He had red hair with flashes of orange in it. His ears had small gauges in it, one thing my mom wouldn't let me do until I was out of the house. He also had snake bites and looked nervous. I looked at Ams he gave me a small nod.

"Sure" I say with a smile. He sits down and picks up his lettuce wrap. "Vegetarian?" I ask noticing the tofu. He nods looking kind of embarrassed. "Hey don't be embarrassed, I am to, I eat fish though, what's your name?" I ask sweetly.

"I would eat fish, but I am allergic," he smiles at the thought, "My name is Trey."

"Oh great" Rockie says, Trey looks shocked, Ams starts laughing, already have heard the story of this guy named Trey that was at my last school who I called T-Rex and he hadn't known until he finally asked why I said T-Rex all the time in stories and I said 'because your T-Rex'.

"Well hello there T-Rex" I say smirking at Rockie.

"T-Rex?"

"Yup I am Sinthia, but call me Sin, this is Amanda, I call her Ams, and Rochelle, well Rockie." T-Rex looks like he understands now and Amanda seems nervous. "What's up Ams?" She looks up at me, blushing. T-Rex is looking around the room taking another bite of food and she gestures at him. OMG AMS LIKES T-REX!!! I wink at her and continue eating my food.

We continue getting to know each other. I guess Ams and T-Rex went to middle school together, and were kind of friends in seventh grade, they knew each other, but started drifting into other crowds as they got older,and eventually they ended up alone, figuring maybe the new girl could be a friend. I smiled hearing that they thought I could be their friend, I feel I can actually trust these people, they know what bad friends are like, and that's all I've really had in my life.

"Are you gonna finish?" T-Rex asks me.

"Uh... Not all of it" I hand him my chips and my other mini cupcake. Happily taking it. Then realizing I have only had a small orange, fish sandwich, and mini cupcake, and probably remembering I mentioned not eating breakfast he looks as if he is about to give it back. I beat him to it though

"I am not very hungry, it's fine." He gives me a cautious look, probably because of how small I am, they don't even know. I stand smiling and throw away all of my stuff. The bell is supposed to ring soon so I walk out of the room. I get whistled at by quite a few people and I wink at quite a few of them too. They already know that I could be queen bee, and I have chosen not to be, I think I can still pull my strings though. And no I am not talking sex like a slut, I have had sex twice, with the same guy, and we broke up because I was moving here. I do plan on some stupid touchy shit and making out, then I go. It makes me seem like I am not turned on enough for sex, and am too bad ass for that shit anyways. I am not some whore you sleeps with every person, if i do the deed, it will be with someone I really care for, and who really cares for me.

In my rambling thoughts I had already gotten to my locker and opened it. I grabbed my books for the next three classes, the last three. I turn and see Ant there.

"Heya Ant" I say smirking.

He scowls at me but replies, "Why Ant? I am huge."

"Exactly, plus your name is Anthony, A-N-T-H-O-N-Y... ANT" I say in a duh tone. He doesn't answer, but walks to the next class. All I want is to go home and nap. Then eat dinner, do my homework, play Black Ops 3 with Rockie, and sleep some more. When school finishes, I rush out, I meet Rockie and Jason at Rockies car, Jason's car is in the shop, I don't have one yet. I give my sister a questioning look and she throws me her keys.

"You are a month away from your license, I don't give a dogs booty hole."

"Awesome sauce" I reply using her favorite answer. She rolls her eyes, puts her bag and mine in the back and kicks Jason out of the passenger seat. With a few complaints we are on our way home, and to my well needed relaxation.
