Broken Chapter 4

I thrashed and screamed but the hand didn't loose it's grip.

"Please calm down, I won't harm you."The voice was clearly off of a computer.

I heard someone come down some stairs and turn lights on. When the light were on, there was a girl who clearly looked shocked. She had brown-almond ish hair and wore a plaid shirt and skinny jeans. She had part of her hair up and had brown eyes.

"Brennan, what are you doing!" It was more of a statement than a question.

All I heard next was loud laughter filling the room the hand lifted off my mouth. The girl ran forward and was extremely frantic.

"Ohmigosh are you ok, please don't press charges."

In the light of the moment, I don't know why but I laughed. I rolled on the floor laughing. 5 minutes ago I was sure I was a goner. The girl looked shocked for a moment and then joined in laughing. The whole room was filled with laughter. Then slowly, it stopped.

"What were you doing?" The girl looked sternly at a boy who wore a black glove, who must've been the one to 'kidnap' me.

"Playing a prank."

"Whatever."

The girl walked up to me and introduced herself. "I'm Amanda and that retard over there is Brennan." Brennan was playing with a pillow.

"Is he mentally...um....hurt?" I asked nervously.

Amanda laughed. "No, he's just plain stupid."

"Oh, I'm Olivia."

"I've heard....you're the new kid?"

"I guess you could call me that."

Brennan was now picking up a cat and petting it, whispering to it, then throwing it on a wall.

"Sorry." Amanda said hesitantly.

"No, no it's fine."

" I heard you've been hanging out with Ian and Christina?"

I smiled. "Yeah." I was really hoping Amanda would be my friend. Brennan walked over. "I'm not really stupid." He glared at Amanda.

"Oh?" Amanda questioned.

"I said, IM NOT STUPID!" He yelled in her ear.

"Ok ok. Whatever shuts you up."

"So, how do you guys know each other?"

"Oh, well-" Amanda started.

"Loooooooooong story short, this is my house and-" Brennan said. Oh great, I lived next to Brennan.

"We're partners for a science project."

"Oh, cool."

"So why are you here?" Brennan asked.

"I don't think it's our place to ask questions, you kidnapped her!" Amanda countered.

"Once again, it was a prank."

"Come upstairs. I'll show you around." Amanda was being nice. I liked her already. She led me up the mahogany staircase and gave me a quick tour. I thanked her and left. After we took the tour it got awkward. I left to kind of clear the awkwardness for us both. I didn't know where to run to next. I briefly thought about home. No, I couldn't go back for a while. Who'd take me in? I sighed, collapsing to the ground. I couldn't just live with strangers. It was with great dignity that I walked back to my house.
