The New Kid

Behind the Back

Brooklyn's POV

"Today seems off." I was walking down the hall with Mallory when I heard shouting.

The day was odd. It was the beginning of the recovery. A boy pressed against the lockers. The first arrest to the case. Nobody expected this guy either, but there he was, Bobby Wood, a boys soccer team midfielder. 

His hands pressed to his back. Shouting was filling the room, but everything was silent and slowly moving. I froze and watched the silver circles attach to his wrist. It was confusing. Bobby? Our own school was attacking us, or was this just a mistake? It didn't make sense, the guys who attacked us had on football helmets. 

Bobby Wood is a great guy, it didn't seem right, but look on his face seemed like total guilt, no regret. Are the boys from our own soccer team out to get Alex and I?

"Bobby Wood? Never would have expected him, it seems like a mistake. "Yeah a mistake, but did you see his face. It didn't seem like he was innocent. I've seen the face before...I've made the face before."

She was silent. I was too. I said that out loud? Why would I do such a thing? She, nor anyone needs to know why, so why would I say it? The regret hit me like a car. It flowed through my body in an odd way I have never felt before. 

"What-?"

"No, nevermind, bye Mal, I'll see you later." I hurried away only to bounce off another teammate. Thank god it was just Tobin. "Have you seen Alex?" The words leaving my mouth made me sick to my stomach. I wanted to go home.

"I'm about to go meet her, what's up?"

"I don't feel good, like at all, I wanna go home. I wanna go home now..." Tobin turned to me with a face of concern. She nodded and walked me to my sister. 

"Hey Alex, Brooklyn doesn't feel well-"

Tobin's POV

Oh my god.

"Brooklyn!" Alex and I both caught the fainted girl. She slumped over Alex's arm. "You need to take her home. I'll drive. Alex tossed me her keys and we took off, so many things happened today. Bobby wood, my friend was arrested by the police. They said he was guilty. 

There's just no way he is. Bobby is a great guy. He's probably my best friend from the guys team, to see him being cuffed wasn't right. It felt like an odd dream. I didn't like it. Now Brooklyn was all panicked and just fainted . 

"What's wrong with her?!"

"I have no idea, she told me she didn't feel good. I brought her to you, because she wanted to go home. We need to take her to your house and lay her down." 

Alex nodded her head. "Yea we should, come on let's hurry up and get her home." Alex was worried about her. She seemed so upset as she held her, but it's not like it's the first time she's fainted in her sister's arms.

I drove them to their house. Well we're missing practice today. I opened Alex's door and carried our bags in. "What do you think is wrong with her?" 

"I don't know Tobs, but I'm really worried about her, but...that's not the only thing, Tobs Bobby was arrested. He was just down right pushed against the lockers and cuffed in front of everyone. Bobby was your friend, so I really really hope he isn't part of the case for the soccer players."

I nodded my head and heard my phone buzz. It was text from Ash. The group text began to blow up. Then there was a new one created.

"Is that really a good idea?" Alex looked up at me. She tossed her phone onto the couch beside her and got up.

"Why wouldn't it be?"

"It just seems dangerous..."

"We don't have to go...hey Brooklyn." I pulled Alex over to Brooklyn as she sat up.

"Hey are you okay?" Alex sat down next to her and let Brooklyn lean into her side. "What happened?" She looked at us confused on why she was where she was at, she didn't remember anything....?

"You fainted....you don't remember?"

All she did was shake her head and sigh.
