Pieces (writing slowly)

Chapter 2

A/N I edited this last night and made a few changes, nothing huge though..... :) okay carry on!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luckily my next class was study hall, so I didn't actually have to worry about participating in class. I sat towards the back drawing doodles in a notebook not paying attention to much other than what was on my paper. I saw a bright pink book bag hit the floor by the chair next to mine. I smiled knowing exactly who was sitting next to me. My most favorite person in the whole world. My best friend since my diaper days, Jenny Saunders. Our parents grew up together and our mothers are best friends. Naturally we became best friends also since we're practically family. We even go to each others family functions together, she's the closest person to me other than....oh right we aren't close anymore. Sigh.

I finally looked up from my lovely drawing (a first grader could draw better I'm sure), to see worry sketched all over Jenny's face.

"Jenny, I'm okay, I swear." Okay so I was lying, but she would go all momma bear on Matt's ass and I don't want her to....WAIT! Why am I protecting him?

"Alright I'm totally lying! I broke down last period and ran out of the classroom crying! It was so embarrassing! He just sat there Jen..." I whispered that last part. "Oh god what do I do?" Honestly asking now since I really have no idea how I'm going to survive seeing him all the time right now.

She just sat there listening to my little freak out. I huffed and crossed my arms letting her know I was done talking and that she may begin her awesome, amazing, best friend talk.

"Oh honey! Why didn't you text me?! I would have been there for you! I swear sometimes your brave front pisses me off something fierce!" She took a breath and started again. I knew she wasn't really upset with me. She's upset with Matt. He had joined our little best friend group the first day of second grade. He had just moved here with his family and was a scrawny little boy who the other kids picked on. But we all had clicked and couldn't be separated. Matt grew up to be one of the hottest guys in our school, hence him being the most popular guy in the senior class. But that doesn't matter anymore, at least not to me and Jenny. Our best friend hurt me, betrayed me and now...well lets just say he's lucky his balls are still intact. I'm not kidding either. Jenny wanted to kill him when I told her everything yesterday.

"Tay...please promise me you won't suffer through this alone! I'm here for you. You know that! We've been there for each other through everything! You may not want to show it to other people, how heart broken you are, but I know you better than that. I know what's going on in that head and heart of yours. I love you! Your my sister from another mister," that got a small chuckle out of me " See! I even know the right things to say to make you laugh when your so sad...." She told me with a small smile.

I couldn't disagree with her. Of course she knew how to take my mind off things when it was needed. God I love this girl! I gave her a big hug and whispered a thank you into her ear. She hugged me back just as fiercely and whispered an 'anything for you' into my hair.

After our huge display of best friend love we chatted a bit about random gossip that wasn't even all that juicy. Which was fine with me because I'm not all that fond of gossip, but it was something to take my mind off...him.

The bell rang and Jenny and I packed our stuff up and headed out to our next class.

"What do you have next Tay?" Jen asked me in the hallway.

Pulling out my schedule from my back pocket I told her " US Government with Mr. Evans. How about you?"

"Yay!!! We have the same class! Lets hurry up so we can get seats next to each other!" Jen practically skipped down the hallway, pulling me behind her. I couldn't help laugh a little at her enthusiasm. I love her and she is honestly one of the most popular girls in school, but she is such a big nerd! Which is perfectly fine with me since I'm kinda the same way. I take my classes seriously and hate when kids rag on me because I actually have a brain and know how to use it!
