Brian didn't even want to go to any of his clubs but he knew he had to eventually. Brian was just in the bathroom, lifting up his shirt trying to see if his bruise swelling went down but it didn't.
Brian walked into the cafeteria alone and Brian looked around. Brian saw Claire at her usually table. Brian felt a tap on his shoulder and there stood Allison without her dark makeup and Brian had to admit she looked amazing.
"Hey Brian" Allison greeted Brian.
"Hey Allison" Brian rubbed the back of his neck.
"So we still sitting together" Allison raised an eyebrow up.
"You still want to sit with me" Brian asked Allison and Allison just nodded her head.
"Yeah I said that we would be friends still when it came to Monday" Allison just shrugged her shoulders. Brian felt a smile coming onto his face.
"Well then come on" Brian told Allison and Brian was about to take a seat at his usual table but he was waved over to where Bender was.
"Hey Johnson" John Bender called out to Brian. Brian and Allison walked to where Bender was.
"Hey John" Allison greeted Bender while she took a seat next to Bender and Brian slowly sat down next to John.
"Seen Sporto at all" Bender asked the two and Brian opened his mouth.
"I ran into him in the bathroom" Brian stated while biting into an apple.
"What did Sporto had to say" Allison was now asking the questions.
"He asked me if I still wanted to kill myself" Brian stated out loud to his new friends. Allison didn't seem to react but Bender leaned forward and grabbed the sandwich and started eating it.
"So do you still want to" Allison asked Brian.
"Do I want to what" Brian was trying to act like nothing was wrong.
"You know offing yourself" Bender finally said something.
"I mean you're not going to off yourself. I mean you tried to kill yourself by using a flare gun" Bender said while rolling his eyes but
Allison on the other hand was worried for Brian's sanity. It didn't matter that Brian was trying to kill himself by a flare gun but the thought of things getting so bad that he decided to want to off himself that was disturbing on all levels.
Brian then noticed out of his eyes someone sitting next to him. Brian looked and there stood Andy. He had a smile on his face.
"Hey guys" Andy greeted Allison, Brian and even Bender. Bender just burped in response then said a smart-alec comment.
"So Sporto you actually decided to ditch your stupid brainless friends" Bender stated while raising an eyebrow.
"They not brainless" Andy quick to defend his wrestling teammates.
"Whatever you say" Bender said while taking another bite of Brian's sandwich.
"What are you doing here Andy" Bender asked Andy and Andy rolled his eyes.
"I thought we were friends guys" Andy crossed his arms.
Lunch time was over and Brian went to his chemistry class. He sat there bored out of his mind. Brian hated chemistry class even though most people would think he enjoyed taking chemistry and Brian hated being apart of the physics club though he wouldn't admit to it to his parents. Lord knows what would happen to Brian if he spoke his mind, he couldn't be Bender who just constantly spoke back to his alcoholic father who beats him and treats him like trash.
Brian didn't know why his parents only cared about his grades and not his well being. Nobody will understand how much pressure Brian was under and everybody would think that he was dumb for trying to kill himself using a flare gun but it wasn't his fault that he thought the flare gun looked like an actual gun.
Bender was just in his usual hangout with his friends smoking some weed. Bender couldn't help think about the princess. She was at least honest which is rare to find in a high schooler.
"Hey Bender, what's going on" Deke asked Bender while he blew out smoke.
"Nothing D" Bender responded while smoking a joint.
"So, I saw you hanging out with the athlete, the brain and the basketcase" Deke mentioned to Bender and Bender rolled his eyes.
"Their names are Andy, Brian and Allison" Bender stepped on his joint putting it out.
"Wow, what happened to you that last Saturday" Deke asked me with his eyebrows raised.
"I just realized that I can tolerate those people" Bender just shrugged his shoulders before taking another drag of weed.
"Okay, whatever you say John" Deke told him and Bender decided to go to the bathroom to at least clean himself up. Bender walked into the bathroom where he saw Brian just staring at himself in the mirror. Bender noticed Brian had a big purplish bruise and it looked like it was swollen on his stomach, Bender didn't know what to do.
"Brian" Bender finally called out to Brian. Brian instantly turned around and put his shirt down. He didn't want anyone to see his stomach.
"Bender it's nothing" Brian told Bender and Bender shook his head while his arms crossed.
"Okay then" Bender stated to Brian. "
It looks like you have broken ribs, you might want to get that looked at" Bender shrugged before leaving the bathroom. What the hell happened to Brian and why did Brian have all of those bruises across his body are the thoughts that came to Bender. It wasn't any of Bender business to find out what happened to Brian.
Meanwhile Brian kept shaking his head back and forth, he looked down at his hands and wet his face. He needed to clean up his act Brian knew that. Brian finally walked out of the bathroom and ran into Claire. She wasn't with her so called friends and she smiled at Brian a little bit.
"Brian, how have you been" Claire asked Brian and Brian just stared at her.
"Congrats for being right" Brain stated to her while turning away from her and Claire grabbed his arm.
"Brian, I'm sorry there my friends" Claire was making excuses and Brian and Claire both knew that.
"Oh yeah well Andy sat with us for lunch and so did Bender" Brian commented at her before leaving her standing the hallway.
