By chance

Ch 1❤️

The first day of school was dreadful for Jane she never spoke to anyone unless she was spoken to, but that's just the norm for being an outcast like Jane she was used to it. But if she wasn't she'd better get used to it because she knew that's how it was going to be forever. She had lost all hope in middle school knowing nobody talked to her and nobody was going to do she said,

"What's the point anymore."

Jane never knew why she was an outcast she was pretty much like everyone else yet nobody bothered.

The only people Jane talks to are her brother Jasper, her aunt Myra, and her fellow employees at the bakery. Jane works to cover the utilities for the apartment that Jasper and her live in, her aunt takes care of the rent and the groceries. The reason they don't live with Myra is because she doesn't want them to "impose" anymore than they already are so Myra handles the rent and groceries are delivered every 2-3 weeks .

3 weeks into school:

Jane flopped on her bed with a loud groan.

"I am already so sick of school why can't it just be over?"

There was a knock on Janes door.

"What do you want Jas?"

"I'm having some friends over tonight think you can bring something home on your way back from the bakery?"

He said through the door.

"What's in it for me?"

She said rising out of bed and opening the door"

"Ummmmm my brotherly love?"

He smiled unconvincingly.

"I'm not sure if that's a gain Jas."

"Cmonnnnnn J you can hang out with us if you want."

"Yeah... I'll pass but yea I'll grab you something just don't draw attention to me."

She said in a self -conscious manor

"Cmon sis how do you expect to make friends if you don't try?"

He said in a sympathetic tone.

" I don't expect to I haven't had a friend since elementary, nobody has talked to me nobody has tried I tried and people laughed. But making friends with guys oh that's the worst they're the cruelest the only guys I accept are you and Kyle."

She folded her arms.

" J, Kyle moved away years ago you've gotta get over it. And me, I'm not always gonna be around you, you know that right?"

"Yeah I know.. it's just scary."

" Don't worry J it'll happen wether if it's with my help or not ."

"With your help? What do you mean with your help?"

"Look I haven't been the best brother but lately I've noticed that you are lonelier than usual at times when I can't hang out with you, when I was younger I didn't really realize what pain you were going through but now I really wanna help so will you let me?"
