Quickly Falling - Chap 3

Sorry took so long to add. Hope you like it. COMMENT!
Jill wandered towards the cafeteria after 4th hour. Nick had given her instructions on how to get there but had dashed out after class and she hadn't seen him since. She'd had so much fun in Chemistry. Nick had dropped a note on Mr. Darryyll's desk that said "Accepting and Living with your baldness- Coordinator Pedro Miralle". Mr. Darryyll had stuffed it in his pocket and glared at the class. But now she was wandering about the cafeteria with her tray of food. She didn't know anyone else and everybody seemed to be grouped together already. Moving in the middle of the year sucked.

"Your Jill right? I'm Kyra, I was in your Chem class, wanna come and sit with us?" Jill was so surprised she almost jumped out of her skin.
"Huh?" Kyra again reintroduced herself and asked her if she wanted to sit with them. "Who's them?'" Jill asked timidly.
"Me Benny, and Lacey. We're over here." With that, Kyra directed Jill overtowards her group. Benny was a girl who seemed on the surface to be really dumb, except for the fact that she could remember dates and figures extremely well. However she practiced them mainly on shopping. She had short blond hair with blue eyes. Lacey could have been Benny's twin for all Jill knew. She was a couple inches shorter but other than that she had the same features as Benny. Kyra had bright red hair with dull brown eyes and seemed to be the odd ball out. Jill sat with them picking up information on how small the town was, like no Wal-Mart small town, and about routine activities that occurred at the school. But all the while she was looking for Nick.

Nick walked into his french class to set up lesson plans for french one. He was a year ahead of the max in french so he was the student assistant to the french teacher while he studied a french 6 or college french 3 curriculum independently. He slapped some stuff together and stapled packets while he thought about Jill. She was beautiful, with clear gray eyes like the sea. He was mesmerized by her quiet little laugh. But he knew he couldn't get too involved with her. He didn't want to get hurt again.

Anna slammed shut her locker at the school as the lunch bell rang. She hated snow now. They would have to reschedule the tennis finals again now. Maine was behind in the New England Tournament and if the state didn't have its finals, Maine would be unrepresented and the Vermont team would sweep the court. Anna wasn't about to let that happen. But anyway, she'd go find Nick and let her cousin have it. She was cranky and thinking about Brian again. Brian had been her boyfriend since the summer before 8th grade and last October it had tragically ended. They'd been shopping in Augusta and on their way back to his car when out of an alley suddenly some thugs appeared, who put a gun to his head. He had cried out to Anna when a second attacker came after her.

Brian had yelled run, and she did. She was a track star and it wasn't hard to outrun them, but Brian had been grabbed by the thugs. But she didn't stop running. After a short time she called 911 and turned back to find him. When she got there the thieves had left and Brian was on the floor bleeding to death. As she held close, the blood from his head and shirt staining her clothes, uniting them under a red blanket, he'd tried to whisper something, but she couldn't hear him. In his last attempt he placed his hand over his heart. She cried all the way to the hospital, the EMT's being unable to pry them apart as grasped him to her. For a whole month she'd been unable to even go to school without bursting into tears. Her parents had tried everything to get her to forget, their only daughter struggling to live. She'd attempted suicide twice. But right before school came back, she'd pulled herself together and came back with a vigorous attack on life. As long as she didn't think, it would be okay.
