Changing

Chapter 15- Observations

Brandon's P.O.V:

I saw my sister walking in school next to Bree, Chrystal, and Rosie. My friends walked behind them like lost puppies, or like a moth to light. Sometimes I consider getting to know other people besides them, I wasn't the type to worship girls like that. Looking at Jessica I saw she was wearing a dress, heels, and makeup. Now I know something is wrong, she would never dress like that purposely.

I continued to watch as Blake and Noah walked up and snatched her phone from her. What do they think they're doing!? I thought rolling up my sleeves. She yelled at them, and they just smirked. Looks like Jessica has this under control, she doesn't like people messing with her. Then her eyes wandered over to Bree, who was giving Jessica a look. What is going on?

Jessica stopped yelling, and asked politely for her phone while twirling her hair, and...giggling? She never giggles unless she's with Eve and Ashlyn. What did Bree say to make her act like that? When she got her phone back, and was alone I decided to figure this out.

"Jess? What happened to you?" I asked bewildered. She gave me a weird look. "What do you mean?" I looked at what she was wearing again, "Why did you just talk nicely to Noah and Blake. You hate them. And now...you look different. Do you like what's happened? I thought you were happy before." I asked, a hint of worry to my voice.

She hesitated. "Oh course! I've made all these new friends, and I've never been happier!" She flashed a smile, which I knew for a fact, was fake. It didn't reach her eyes...her eyes...they looked sad. Thinking for a second, I slowly nodded and watched as she walked away, to then receive an invitation to a party. (I was already invited by John anyway.)

I scanned the hallway to see Eve and Ashlyn by their lockers. They have to know what's going on with my sister, they're best friends after all. Sneaking over to them, I tapped on Eve's shoulder. Which caused her to jump a little. Both of their eyes widened when they saw me.

"Hey. Did you notice anything different about Jessica?" I asked trying to keep it casual. They exchanged glances with each other, "Um.." Ashlyn said nervously. "Nope!" Eve answered, sounding unsure. "Yeah well we got to go...class is going to start!" Ashlyn said taking Eve's hand and pulling her away.

I pulled out my phone. 7 minutes until class, which reminds me, I got to get to class too.
