Musical Chairs

Chapter 2

After first class Braydon and I started walking towards our next class in a conversation about the theory of slender. Can I say that our theory was really messed up?

"So if slender was a person, before he became 'slender', who do you think he would be?" I asked.

"I don't know... Maybe some paedophile on drugs or something..." He said with uncertainty. I started laughing at his response because what else would you think slender could be?

"That seems logical. He does follows you around the map and meanwhile you're trying to avoid him... And then he rapes you because he is on drugs and then he eventually kills you. I stated trying not to laugh. Braydon turns to me with a disturbed look and starts laughing.

"You know what?" He asked.

"No, what?"

"You're the funniest and most honest girl I've meet" I smiled at him and pushed him towards the door of the classroom. We entered with everyone looking at us. All the girls were either giving me death glares or they were staring at Braydon with dreamy expressions.

"Ah... Hello Miss Black.... Who is this young man?" My favourite teacher, Mrs Hemsworth asked. She gave me the nickname 'Black' because of my Gothic look.

"This is Braydon Matthews, Mrs Hemsworth!" I said with a smile.

"Well Braydon, feel free to sit anywhere you like!" She replied with a smile. I ushered Braydon back towards where I sit and we sat down.

"Alright class, please open your books and start copying the stuff on the board." Mrs Hemsworth instructed. As I was copying notes down, a paper ball hit me and landed on my desk. I picked up the ball and opened it to find a message.
'If you are wise Charlotte, you would stay away from what's soon to be mine from Tina <3'.
I scrunched the paper up and threw it into the bin. Braydon looked at me suspiciously but, didn't ask any questions.

[- Lunch Break -]

"So what was that note in class?" Braydon asked with a suspicious look.

"Just a warning from a fish" I stated.

"What sort of fish"

"The slutty kind" I replied with a grin, trying not to laugh.

"What is she warning you for?" He asked.

"She thinks you're an item, soon to be hers..." I stated and unconsciously clenched my fists.

"Ew... Thanks for the warning... I'm guessing cake face blondie over there is the 'slutty fish'?" He said raising an eyebrow.

"Exactly.... When she comes up to you, I dare you to call her that!" I said giggling like a mad person resulting with Braydon staring at me trying not to laugh.

"Deal, but what do I get in return?"

"Well my friend says there's a party this weekend and knowing her she'll ditch me within the first second so... I can take you to a party?" I asked hoping for him to say yes.

"Okay the deal is done!" He beamed, oh we are going to be great friends. A huge smile plastered on our faces as the 'slutty fish' made her way over towards where we were sitting.

"Hey Braydon..." She said trying to be seductive, not working for her.

"Hello 'Slutty Fish'" Braydon replied, making me burst out laughing. Braydon looked at me and started laughing himself.

"You will pay for calling me such names!" She yelled obviously frustrated while Braydon and I were trying not to die of laughter. She stormed off to return to her 'slut parade'. Brooklyn walked up to us with a questioning look.

"Who is this and why are you laughing?" She asked looking at Braydon.

"This is Braydon-" I pointed to him. "And we are laughing because I dared him to call Tina 'slutty fish'!" I said starting to laugh again.

"Oh my god, why did I have to miss that!?"Brooklyn said slightly upset but started giggling.

"So Braydon, are you going to the party this weekend?" She asked.

"I'm going with Charlotte, part of the deal we made." He replied with a grin, that I swear I saw girls faint from far.

"Oh really, Charlotte didn't tell me about 'this'!" She said looking at me, wiggling her eyebrows.

"Um.... Well.... Braydon only started today!" I said blushing.

"Hmm.... You could've texted me" she stated.

"True I could've but, I didn't so..." I said trying to move the conversation along in a different direction because Braydon was staring with us with that....
Sorry I blanked out because of his super cute/sexy grin...
Sorry did it again.

"So are you two done talking? Because I would like to have your numbers." He said smiling like a mad man.

"We are now!" I stated as a matter of fact. We pulled out our phones, Braydon pulled out his phone and we exchanged numbers. Smiling to myself, I put my phone back in my pocket.

"Hey Charlotte?" Braydon asked.

"Yeah?" I replied.

"Do you need a ride home from school?" He asked and I might be seeing things but, I swore I saw him blushing.

"If it doesn't inconvenience you!" I said with a smile. Brooklyn leaned over to whisper something to Braydon.

"You know you must be special because nothing can make that girl smile yet you have." She whispered to him. He raised an eyebrow at me and I shrugged.

"What? There's nothing wrong with the darkness and being alone! With them two things you don't need to smile!" I said with pouting.

"Well I hate to say it Char, but with Braydon and I, you aren't alone" Brooklyn stated. I sighed and mentally face palmed. 'No! My alone time is gone!' I thought.

"Whatever!" I said blushing. Looking down at my feet like they were fluffy unicorns of darkness.
