Chapter twelve- Confiding in Bra

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"HE DID WHAT?" screamed Lila, "I'm going over to give that boy a piece of my mind!"

"Lila, please." said Marron, almost in a whisper.

"Marron, just forget all about it. He doesn't deserve you anyway." Paris comforted her.

"How can I? You know how I feel about him." Marron said quietly, holding back her tears.

"Darling, listen." Lila said, still infuriated "I know you must feel like shit right now, I've been there. You just have to face it, some dickheads won't change, but it's no good drowning in your sorrow. You must get on with your life. And no matter what, you should know that no-one is better than you."

"Yes Marron. There's plenty of guys out there who would kill to have you even glance at them. So take advantage of those other nice guys and forget about that piece of trash."

"Thanks guys, I just need some time alone to figure things out." Marron smiled, a signal for them to leave.

"Okay, sweetie." Paris smiled back.

"Sure thing." Lila replied.

The two girls left the Peace Area leaving Marron on her own.

'This is a nightmare.'

Marron lifted her head to look around. Only one person in there besides her.

'Hey, isn't it that 'Bra' girl?'

As if by magic, the girl looked up and smiled at Marron.

"Hello!" said the girl.

Marron smiled back at her, even though they were obvious strangers.

She noticed that the girl was getting up and coming over.

"Hi, I'm Bra!" the girl said happily

Marron looked at the girl's school badge, she was in Year 9.

'Who is this Bra?' thought Marron

"Hi. Do you want something?"

"You're Marron, right?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"Oh, I've heard a lot about you."

"From who?"

"My brother!"

Marron guessed that her brother was just some random guy who had a crush on her. Little did she know the irony of the situation.

"Okay. Hey, if you don't mind I'm kinda upset and I'd appreciate it if you left me alone." Marron smiled at the girl hoping that she got the message.

"Why are you upset?"

'Oh you are one annoying little-'

"You can confide in me. It's not like I'm gonna tell anyone."

"Well," Marron started, realizing that Bra wouldn't go away. "I've been having a crush on this guy for quite some time now."

"Really? Who is it?" Bra asked.

"I'll be discrete for now. But anyway, I really like him and I was so certain that he liked me back. In the back of my mind, I knew that there was a chance that he wouldn't but I was a little too optimistic about the whole situation."

"Oh. So what happened?"

"Well, I went and sort of asked him out today."

"Ooh what did he say?"

"Well..." Marron wandered off, her throat started to block up, just like every other time she was about to cry.

"He..he spat on the floor and he said that's what he thought of me." Marron was staring at the floor, the thought had only sunk in, and it felt worse than ever.

"OH!" Bra gasped and covered her mouth. "That's disgusting."

"But I was so sure!" Marron scolded herself.

"Hey, hey don't do that. You're a lovely girl. And as for him, words can't even describe his actions."

"Why did he do this to me?" Marron said, a teardrop spilling down her left cheek.

Out of all her three years at Central High, Marron couldn't remember the last time she had cried. Maybe in Year Nine when the class rabbit died, but not since.

"Hey, what year is this stupid excuse for a human in?"

"My year."

"Eleven?"

Marron nodded.

"You wanna tell me his name? Oh wait, that was stupid of me, I shouldn't have ask-"

"His name is Trunks."

"-ed."

Marron looked at Bra to see that her face had gone a dark shade of red.

"Excuse me I have to leave." Bra twitched whilst speaking through clenched teeth.

"Okay, well, it was really nice to talk to you." Marron smiled

"Like- wise." Bra said, still through clenched teeth.

"Bye."

The girl didn't even answer. She had gone.

'Wow, she must have got a lot of sympathy. I have never seen anyone so angry.'

Marron took a deep breath and regained her posture.

'Hey, I kinda feel better.' she thought, and walked off to class.
