The Forgotten (Toby McDonough)

✏Ch. 1: Games and Studying

Amy's POV

"Come on!" urged my friend, Bella.

Her twin, Bridget, replied, "Relax sis. The game just started."

"Still!" she argued.

I giggled and followed the two to our school's gymnasium. There was a volleyball game between the juniors and seniors. And Bella was persistent in watching the small match. We took our seats and relaxed. "The sophomores better beat the stuffing out of those seniors." whispered Bella.

Bridget laughed, "Whoa there."

I let the sisters argue however they wanted to. I observed the game as if I had nothing else to do. I never participated in a sport. I'm so not athletic. I'd never even be considered as ideal for some teams captains. Unlike the twins. Bella is a cheerleader, and Bridget is a gymnast. Amazing girls. I'm just a forgotten chameleon who blends in the crowd.

Then I suddenly hear Bella exclaim, "Come on sophomores!"

Bridget facepalmed but laughed anyway. And so did I. After all, I love these girls. They're awesome.

A fee minutes into the game, I got uninterested and took out my notebook and started doodling again. I'm not talented or sporty, but you can say I have a fetish for good books and writing. I doodled whatever came into my mind, and also listen random ideas that spontaneously pop up. I looked up and saw a group of girls snickering quietly. If that was about me then I'm totally used to it. I'm hated for being a "teacher's pet" just cause I get highest grades. Not really my problem right?

When the game ended, I stood up and smiled at my friends. "I'll go to the classroom now. We have exams to study for."

Bridget nodded, "Me too."

Bella shrugged and tied her strawberry blonde hair in a ponytail, "Then I'll come."

The three of us made our way to the classroom and went to our respective seats. Bridget was reading something in her notebook while Bella was writing something. I took out a textbook and strayed reading, but someone pushed it down. "Yes, Anna?" I asked politely.

Anna- the brunette cheerleader captain and diva of the class. Bella dislikes her though. She smirked, "Be useful and tutor me for the test."

I sighed, "Anna, you won't get anywhere if I keep aiding you."

She raised a brow. "Excuse me. I wasn't negotiating. I was technically commanding."

You can't command me is what I wanted to say, but speak against Anna and her clique will probably make like horrible for you. "Fine." I said.

"Good." she declared and threw a very pink notebook on my table. "Write down your notes in very simple terms."

"Didn't you write your own?"

She scoffed, "You're the genius. Translate the teacher's confusing notes for me."

I sighed and took out my black pen and was about to write. "Oh! Use a purple pen." Anna added.

"Got it." and so I did what I was told. When she saw me writing, she went to her group. I looked back at Bella who rolled her eyes and mouthed, "Spoiled princess."

I nodded and threw my hands up at the air as of surrendering. On Bella's left was Bridget who laughed and whispered, "She'll pay sooner or later."

I smiled and gave them a thumbs up and went back to "work".

And when I did finish, Anna's best friend, Chloe, demanded that I help her with science. Then another dude and his group came to me, begging for help in math.

I did all those demands. And after, as usual, there was no thank you or words of appreciation at all. But it's not unusual. They forget about me once I'm not of use anymore.
