The Chosen Ones

Chapter 6 - Why can't it be like before

Annie's POV
It was Saturday before lunch. We trained a little, but didn't do much because Ms. Cole was thinking how she should do the guys' training. Why can't it be like before? Before all of this we were friends. BEST friends. And the rumors Ms. Cole heard. Could it be... No. They are just rumors. I know the guys. Johnny and Carson would never replace us. But, I actually don't know them anymore. They are complete different people. Especially... Hayden. I don't know what's going on with them. I'll ask them later. Maybe we will see us at lunch. Here is what we're wearing
Me:

Kenzie:

Lauren:

Jayden:

Hayley:

We went to the dining room and sat down. We waited 'til they hand us our meal. Right when they gave us our food the boys came in. I had a weird feeling in my stomach. I looked at the others. Lauren looked at me, Hayley wasn't paying attention, Jayden tried to ignore them with eating and Kenzie didn't even notice them. There is so much difference to a year before. Hayley, Lauren and I didn't touch our food.
"Oh come on girls!", one of the cooks said. "Eat at least one thing!"
I grabbed my fork and started to eat. I was not hungry. But we are all the cooks have. Ms. Cole came in and told the guys to sit with us. Great! Now it will be more awkward than it already is!
"Tell us more about yourself!", Ms. Cole said.
Nobody opened their mouth. I looked at Caraon and Hayden. They made sure that we didn't make eye contact. I sighed. I looked at Johnny and Connor and they were doing the same. I rolled my eyes and stood up. Everyone looked at me. Even the boys, but I didn't make eye contact, because they didn't want to.
"I'm not hungry, Ms. Cole", I said.
"Oh okay fine. You can train a little but or go to the meeting room. Mr. and Mrs. Cole are there.", she said
I went to the kitchen and did the dishes from yesterday since I have nothing else to do. When I went to the dining room again (you can only go to the kitchen through the dining room. So basically the kitchen is in the dining room), the boys were giving the girls death stares when Ms. Cole didn't look. The girls were uncomfortable with that. I went to the door and the boys ir even Ms. Cole haven't noticed me. I slammed the door behind me making sure they heard it. I went to the first floor waiting for one of them to come. But I don't think Ms. Cole would let them. But of course Hayley came. Ms. Cole can't di anything about her. And the cook, Ms. Grey, Ms. Cole's cousin. She has been the mother for me and the girls since we got here, but I am the only one that tells her about my problems.
"Hey sweetheart, what's wrong?", she asked.
We went to my room and Hayley and I told her what was bothering us.
"They made their decision. They chose them for some reasons. Maybe it has something to do with you. It's your decision if you are gonna choose to try get your friendships back or play their games. Whatever your decision will be, I will support you. But I need to say, it really doesn't seem like you know each other.", she said.
"Thank you for your advice. You always have the best ones. And they changed. I don't even know them anymore. I wish it could be like before", I said.
"Let's go to the meeting room", Hayley said. "And tell us what your choice is. I will play with you. Maybe the others won't so don't tell them."
"Do you really want to live like this your whole life?", I asked her.
"Of course not!", she answered.
"I will try to do my best to help you get your friendships back", Ms. Grey said.
"Thank you. We really need a person like you!", I said.
We went to the meeting room together. They were all already there. I tried to make contact with the boys, so did Hayley, but they were blocking us. Even though it just functions with phones. Hayley and I had two choices, we had two seats next to each other, or two seats on each side from the boys.
"Ms. and Mr. Cole need to sit next to each other", said Ms. Grey, loud enough so the guys can hear her. Hayley and I turned around and gave her a smile and I sat next to Hayden and Hayley next to Carson. The Coles were still not here. I tried to talk to Hayden.
"So.. how's life?", I asked.
"It went good since you left", Hayden said. Those words broke my heart. "I had a girlfriend but I broke up with her two and a half weeks ago and now she keeps bothering me!"
"Jeez. I didn't mean to be mean. I just had to", I said.
"You just had to what?! Leave us and never say good bye?! Do actually know how much we suffered?!", Hayden shouted.
"Do you actually know how much we suffered? We didn't even know this would happen! We texted you before we blocked you! It said that we will miss you and love you forever! Bur guess what! You didn't even care about that! All the memories we made, all the problems we solved, all the things that we did meant nothing to you! We are now here, always wanted to see you and always lay in bed missing you while crying ourselves to sleep. Then you come and don't even care. Do you actually know what feelings are? Well, you did, but if you still do it's surprising!", I shouted.
"Well, you are such a good friend, Annie! Making your so called 'friends' feel bad for you! You didn't even try to build our friendship back together! And then you play innocent! Of course! You are Annie, the innocent angel!", Hayden shouted.
"I am such friend?! Can you look at yourself?! I tried building our friendship back together! But YOU just won't let me! I tried to talk to you and you are starting with 'My life went great since you left'! Do you actually hear yourself?! Because all what you are saying I should say to you!", I shouted very loud.
"If you really want to build this friendship back together then why do you need to be so rude?", Hayden asked in a lower voice.
I calmed down and said:"You actually know how I am jn these days. Oh I forgot! YOU don't know it. The OLD Hayden does!"
"I am not the ONE who changed! YOU ARE!", Hayden shouted.
"Why are you even so mean?", I asked.
"YOU BROKE OUR HEARTS!!!", he screamed.
"YOU DIDN'T EVEN LET US EXPLAIN!!!", I shouted. I let everything out. "YOU DIDN'T GIVE US A CHANCE!! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW WE FEEL!! I TRIED TO MAKE IT BETTER BUT JUST WON'T LET IT HAPPEN!!"
"You..", Hayden started.
"YOU WHAT?!! YOU BRAT? UGLY BITCH? HOE? WHORE? SLUT? CALL ME LEBITCH IR LEBRAT!! I DON'T CARE!! I thought I could fix this but I can't. I give up. Why do things that are impossible? Being friends with you again is impossible. You just can't forgive someone. And that's one of the most important things in life. I can't be friends with someone that doesn't accept his life. Their lives."
Tears rolled down my face and I looked at every single one of them. I ran away, past the Coles that already arrived and slammed the door behind me. Hayley followed me and then Ms. Grey. I hate my life. Everything in the world is upside down.
