Invisible

Chapter 2

As soon as I walk in the room my confidence goes out the door. I see my Nash smirking in the corner at my expression. Ughhh how could this happen! And I was having such a great day.

As you might be able to tell me and my brother aren't exactly close. What I mean by that is we absolutely hate each other. You see we're step siblings and for some reason ever since we've met Nash has made it his goal to make my life hell! I dont even know what I did to make him hate me so much.

"Oh you must be Miranda Grier." Said Mr. Lantz.

"Actually her last name is Padalecki." Yelled Nash from the back. Everyone started giggling. My cheeks started to turn red.

"That's enough Mr. Grier no need to tease your sister."

"Step sister." Nash corrected.

Mr. Lantz glared at Nash. "Anyways" he continued. "Why don't you introduce yourself to the rest of the class."

"Um w-w-well my names M-m-Miranda. That's p-p-pretty much it." Oh dear lord kill me now was all I was thinking.

"Okay then." Mr. Lantz said. "Why don't you go sit in the back next to Claire. Claire please raise your hand." A girl with brown hair raised her hands. She looked oddly familiar.

As I started walking to the back I was tripped and fell. The whole class erupted in laughter. I was mortified I look over to see Nash grinning. I just dusted myself off and continued going to the back of the class.

"Hey I saw what your brother did to you. That wasn't cool are you okay?" The girl Claire asked.

"Yeah I'm fine thanks for asking."

"Sure no prob!"

"Hey" I said leaning towards her. "Do I know you from anywhere?"

"Oh yeah I accidentally tripped you this morning." She replied her cheeks turning a bright shade of pink. "Sorry about that again."

"Oh it's no problem at all."

She laughed. We ended up talking and laughing the whole period not paying attention to a word Mr. Lantz was saying. It was amazing I completely forgot that Nash was even in the room. This best part was I didn't stutter once!

I was so sad when the bell rang because Claire and I wouldn't see each other until lunch where she said I could sit with her and a couple other girls.

As I was heading out the door someone pulled me to the side.

"So I saw you made a friend with the nerd in the back of the class." Nash remarked.

"Yes I did Nash what's it to you." I retorted.

"Did you make any other friends today?"

"Why do you care? I thought you didn't give a damn about what I did."

"I don't but I'm your brother and you'll tell me." Nash said and he started squeezing my arm.

"Hey let her go!" I heard someone yell. I turn around to see Jack and Cam running over.

"Let her go!" Jack repeated through clenched teeth.

"Fine." Nash said releasing my arm. "But those two can't protect you forever Miranda." Nash turned and walked down the hall lost in the sea of people.

"Who was that guy?" Cam asked.

"That was my step brother Nash."

"He's a douche." Jack commented.

"Yep." I reply. An awkward silence falls over. Until Cam breaks it.

"So shall we show you to your next class?"
