Secrets [Chapter 2]

Chapter 1 ~ Brianna

I remember lying there, in the rubbish of the car. I remember looking down at his limp body, strewn across my lap, and just thinking why me, why him. I couldn't believe what was happening. One second we were singin along with he radio, the next, my best friend was dead on my lap. Why did it have to be us in that car crash?
"Brianna."
Why did he have to jump infront of that glass shard heading for me?
"Brianna!"
Why did he have to DIE.
"BRIANNA!"
"What!"
"What in gods' name are you thinking about child? You're going to be late on your first ay of High School."
My mom. Wowser she can butt in at the worst moments. "Oh yeah, about that. I'm not going. I don't feel well."
She put her hand to my forehead. "You don't feel warm."
"It's not that kind of feeling bad mom." I swear she doesn't get me.
"Well then you can go to school. You can deal with your drama with you friends at SCHOOL."
She can be so insensative at times, it irks me! "The death of my best friend is not 'drama' mom. I also don't hav any friends at school because you made me MOVE, remember?"
"That's what you were thinking about Bree? Honey, that was over a year ago, you need to get over it."
Did I mention my mom and dad are practically twins? They're both insensative, they both butt in, and they both DRIVE ME BONKERS. "Ugh, you don't get it! Neither of you do!"
"It's not that big of a deal, dear."
Now they speak at the same time. I sear they can read each others minds. "Of cours, not to you. My best friends died for me, it's a big deal!"And with that, I stomped off into the unknown world of a new school. And as far away from my parents as possible.

Chapter 2 ~ Brianna

I shuffled into school and made my way to my locker. **** monkeys, what was that combination again? Oh yeah. "23-2-30"
"Pretty easy combination combination you got there."
I jumped and spun around, a boy, about the same age as me I guessed, was standing t the locker across the aisle from mine.
"Sorry to scare you, I'm Gage." He held his hand out to shake.
"Bree." I retorted and turned back around, wihout shaking his hand.
"You new here?"
"Yes." I grabbed my math book and my work book.
"Who do you have for math?"
Does this guy ever give up? I looked at my schedule anyway. "Mr. Garrison." I replied weakly.
"Awesome, we can walk together."
I rolled my eyes, slammed my locker shut, and turned around. I put on a smile, but only because I had no idea how to get aroun this school. Gage lead me to Mr. Garrisons' room and took a seat in the back. I chose a set in the front, away from him. I saw a couple of girls huddled in a group, whispering, and glancing over at me. They weren't too far away, so I listened arefully to hear what they were saying.
"Is that her?"
"It can't be."
"No, no it is, that's the girl that Cole guy died for."
I got up and pretended I had to sharpen my pencil, since the sharpener was just behind them. I stopped when I reached them. "If you're wondering if I'm the girl 'that Cole guy' died saving, I am. And by the way, his name is Cole Ellingboe. Cole Daniel Ellingboe."
I pushed past hem and sharpened my pencil to a point. They stared at me as I passed them again on my way back to my seat.
...
After class, Gage caught up with me again. He's like a puppy, you can't shake him!
"You really told them off!" He gave me a smirk. You know, one of those goofy, that was so cool, I'm proud of you, smirks. Cole used to give me that same exact smirk... I smiled at that. "Gage, I think we could possibly be very good friends."
He gave me another one of those smirks.
