New School, New Problem

Chapter 2

Second and third period blew by with only scorning looks from Britany. Fifth period was lunch. As Jenn made her way to a corner table with her packed lunch, Britany and four other girls stepped in the way. One, a girl with shoulder-length blonde hair and hazel eyes, grabbed her lunch and a long-haired girl with green eyes ripped off her necklace, a comfort item from her late grandmother. The last girl, a dark brown skinned girl with dyed blonde hair and dark brown eyes, pushed her into a seat. Britany stood over her and ripped open her lunchbox. Jenn had a flashback of when she was in one of her old schools and nearly this same exact thing happened... except for one thing.

"Hey, robot, what'cha got in that lunch? Some oil, maybe some grease?" A black boy snatched her lunchbox and tore it open, finding carrots and a hamburger packed inside. "Eh well, she probably has that in her water bottle." Another blonde boy said and snickered. Jasmine stepped up and slapped Jenn.

Jenn looked up as Britany took out an apple, a granola bar, some trail mix-- chocolate chips included-- and a PB & J sandwich from her lunchbox. The girl who had taken her necklace examined it and handed it to Britany. "What's this?" She said, looking at Jenn with a hard glare in her eyes. Jenn looked down and muttered, "a necklace my grandma gave to me." Britany snorted and strung the necklace onto her own neck. "Everyone knows that by now, you don't bring anything special to school." Jenn tried to stand up, but the long-haired green-eyed girl kicked her leg with her heel, causing a pain shooting up it. "Stop.. please... give that back.." Britany snickered. Then her snicker turned into a chuckle. Then her chuckle turned into a laugh and she slapped Jenn's face. "I don't think so." Britany and her friends walked away, laughing and mimicking Jenn.

Jenn reached the corner table and cried.
