Rennie

I keep my distance from Scarlette but I still hear make the comment.  I wanted to say something, I knew I should.  But I wasn't sure if I wanted to be enemies with Scarlette.  I smiled apologetically at the girl who was the victim.

I shook my head tugged on my brown, almost black hair.  The...'victim', as I called her, sighed.

"Think whatever you want to Scarlette, but I don't care." she said, but I could see that she did care.

I wanted to reach out to her but I wasn't sure where my allegiance lay.  So I just stood there, like I was stupid.  Scarlette scowled, sniffed then stalked off, her nose in the air.  Without realizing I was doing it, I walked towards the 'victim'.

"Hello, my name is Rennie." I introduced myself.

"Tally," she replied.  "Tally Jackson."

In that moment, I felt...connected to her somehow.  Like we were going to see each other everyday in our lives.

This was a blossoming friendship.
