At the end of class, I pack up quickly and pretty much run outside.

That crazy old lady, oh wait I'm sorry her name is McHeart, just gave me the evil eye the whole class.

Well, guess what Mrs. McHeart, I'm immune to it.

I sit under a tree and wait for my brothers.

I watch people group up and talk to each other. 

"What do you have next?"

I look up and see Elijah.

"Uh not sure" I replied and hand him the paper.

We talk for a while until Aaron comes over.

"How did it go?" He asks me.

"Not bad but she seems pretty strict,"I reply as I write in my journal.

My brothers begin to talk about something as I hum a tune. I erase it in my book and redo it.

"Okay, so we don't have another break till lunch so let's meet at that table," Elijah says pointing at a table outside the dining hall.

"Okay," I replied, locking my journal and putting it away.

"Let's go find your next class," Aaron says, talking my bag.

I look for the classroom number and begin humming the tune from earlier.

I walk out of the room and begin the task of walking downstairs with the large crowd of people. I stop at the table that Eli had pointed out early and sit down.

I take out my sandwich, chocolate milk, and grapes and begin to eat.

"What is she doing here?" Someone asks behind me.

I turn around and see a group of girls in the same uniform standing there.

"I got this, girls." One of the girls walks over to me and sits at the table next to me.

"So this is our table" she grabs my sandwich and opens it. She makes a face of disgust and throws both open slices of bread onto the floor.

I look around as a crowd of people starts to form.

"I would let you sit with us but," she grabs one of my grapes and eats it. "you have to have some level of beauty to sit with us and you need to have at least one talent. That means there is no way you will ever sit with us." She empties my grapes into the floor and her friends crush them. 

I don't know what to do. People are snickering and staring. Some are taking out little squares. I'm pretty sure they are cameras based on the flashes. Why is she so rude? I haven't done anything to her.

"Why are you still here! I deserve respect and I will get it!" She shrieks before emptying my milk onto my head.

I hear people burst out laughing as I stand up in shock. Then she grabs her water bottle and sprays it on my face.

When she finished she takes a bow to the crowd. I look around hoping to see my brothers coming to my aid but I can't see them. I probably look like a deer in headlights. I'm not sure what to do, I can't even stop the tears running down my face.

"That was low even for you Amanda. " a blonde girl says walking over to me.

"Oh come on Abigail that was hilarious," Amanda says snickering.

"Oh yeah then let her do it to you," Abigail replied back. She takes another girl's water and hands it to me.

"Eww, that would ruin my hair!" She replies.

"Well, you ruined her's."

"Oh please, I did her a favor that was a hideous outfit."

"Shut up Amanda." Abigail grabs my hand and leads me away but not before whispering harshly to Amanda.

I try to stop crying and finally succeed after a minute away from Amanda.

"Here is the school shower. Take a quick shower and I'm gonna go grab a pair of sweatpants I have in my locker." She opens a closet and pulls out a towel. "I'll be back in a few minutes." She smiles and leaves me alone.

I get in the showers and wash my hair. The only shampoo in here is sent less but I don't mind. I walk out and grab the towel. I put on my undergarments and wrap myself in the towel. I hear the locker room door open and I stand up.

In walks Abigail and another girl.

"This is Scarlett she has an extra tank top she's going to let you borrow."

"Thank you," I reply shyly.

"You can call me Aby if you want. Abigail is a bit of a mouthful for most people. " Aby hands me a pair of black pants with two white stripes tuning down on both sides and Scarlett hands me a white tank top.

Suddenly someone knocks on the locker room door.

"I got it." They both say at the same time. They walk over to the small hallway that leads to the door and I began getting dressed in the corner.

By the time they come back I'm dressed and combing my hair with my fingers.

"Some guy said you could use his sweater," Scarlett says with a large smile.

"Who was it?" I ask as I slid it on. It smelled slightly of lemon.

"It was a younger boy and I highly doubt this is his hoodie. It's too big for him" Aby says crossing her arms.

"I'm starting to wonder if I should really be wearing this," I reply as I lightly flap my arms as the sleeves bounce up and down on my smaller arms.

"Oh don't worry he lent it to you for a reason," Scarlett says happily.

I grab my clothes and stuff them in a plastic bag I found.

"Let's go eat I'm starving!" Aby complains.

"I need to find my brothers," I tell them as I grab my bags.

"We'll find them after we grab some grub," Aby says pulling me with her as she walks to the lunch line.

We talk about our classes and it turns out we all have the same last period.
