A/N: this chapter is a bit different. I am introducing a new character. I
don't own Everwood but I do own Kalynn. So there!!!
NEXT DAY
Laynie and Amy were sitting together eating their lunch at their regular table, which right now, was what they liked to call the misfit table. Ever since Colin's death Laynie and Amy never really had a place. There was no clique for people who have suffered their kind of loss. They were on their own, which meant sitting alone at the back of the cafeteria.
"Why does it seem like we are so out of place, Laynie asked? Laynie finished her grilled cheese while Amy picked at her salad.
"Well if it wasn't for you, Bright, and Ephram I would probably be locked up in some psycho ward."
"Speaking of Bright and Ephram, where are they on this fine lunch hour," Laynie asked?
"Ephram is practicing his piano and Bright is getting tutored, leaving us to fend for ourselves," Amy replied.
Amy stuck her fork in the salad squishing the poor imitation of a tomato. She glanced around grossed out by the filthiness of the table they were sitting at. To think these tables were clean at one point.
"This is how life began at the back table in the lunch room eating burnt grilled cheese, off a table that hasn't been cleaned in ages, we are so cool," Amy exclaimed. The two sat in silence picking at their food. Something about mutilating tomatoes helped pass the time at lunch.
"You done, Laynie asked? "Let's go outside and get some fresh air before we have to sit through Mr. Vance's lecture in biology."
The two got up and went outside. Just as they had got through the doors into the courtyard, there was a voice calling behind them.
Amy spun around hoping it was Ephram back from practicing piano. Instead, there standing before them was a tall girl with jet black hair. She was wearing jeans and a Black Sabbath shirt with a long black pea coat over top. She reached into her tattered, messenger bag that was covered with patches, and pulled out a small object. Amy and Laynie froze thinking she was going to pull out a gun and shoot them right there. Kalynn quickly handed over what appeared to be Amy's small, black notebook.
"You left this in the cafeteria," She said, handing the notebook to Amy.
"uhh... thanks," Amy replied, taking the notebook. "I didn't even notice it was missing."
Before Amy could finish thanking her, the girl walked off as fast as she had appeared.
"Who was that," Amy asked?
"I think her name is Kalynn Brooks."
"Is she new," Amy asked? "She seems very creepy."
"She transferred in from Olympic last year."
"Oh, well I guess I have never noticed her before."
The bell rang
Ephram came over and wrapped his arms around Amy's waist and kissed the back of her neck.
"You ready for the lecture on amphibians?"
"Always, Amy replied, "something about toads really brings out the true science nerd in me."
Ephram pulled Amy closer and into another kiss.
"Get a room," Laynie exclaimed, making a disgusted face.
"This isn't as bad as the tongue wrestling you used to do with Bobby blue eyes," Amy replied.
"It was those blues eyes that were so hard to resist."
Amy and Ephram laughed as the three of them walked off to class.
[Kalynn's POV]
There she was, Amy, the girl everyone loved, grief stricken by her boyfriend's death. Everything about Amy used to make me sick. Her perfect clothes, the way every guy turned their heads when she walked by. She was one of those people who probably thought that a shopping trip would solve all her problems. Now, since her b/f death, she was just different. She is little more at my level, lost, just waiting for something to happen. I want to reach out to tell her I know how it feels to lose a best friend. What's the use? Like she would give a shit what I have to say, the girl who can't even get her own life together. I walked to my science class and shoved my headphones into my ears. Pink Floyd flowed into my ears, blocking out my surroundings. If I sat in the back of the class, I could remain tuned into my music and try to forget life's problems.
Laynie, Amy, and Ephram walked into the classroom and took seats at the back tables. Ephram sat down at one table with Amy leaving Laynie to sit by herself. The only other spot was by Kalynn. Laynie cringed at the thought of sitting with that girl. Something about her gave Laynie the creeps. She looked over at Amy hoping to get some backup. Amy took the hint and let Laynie sit with Ephram. Amy found something drawing her to Kalynn. Like a weird vibe. She couldn't be that bad, Amy thought to herself. Luckily, Kalynn had headphones in and was oblivious to her surroundings. As the teacher rambled on about amphibians, Amy watched Kalynn as she sketched in her notebook.
[Kalynn's POV]
I was sitting in science class sketching and that Amy girl gave up her seat by her boyfriend to sit by me. I hope she isn't going to pull some, oh let's be friends shit. I don't need that or maybe I do. She just kept staring at me. It was ruining my concentration. Couldn't she stare at her boyfriend? At least she had one. Amy finally looked away and I turned up my headphones and tried not to think about it.
"Nice drawings," Amy said after the bell rung.
"They are shit," Kalynn said tearing the picture out and slamming her notebook shut. There she went again shutting people out. It was what she knew how to do; the only thing that felt right.
Kalynn shoved her notebook into her tattered bag and walked out of the classroom, discarding the picture into the trash.
Amy went over to talk to Ephram and Laynie who were talking about some new band. As they exited the room, Amy nonchantly went over to the trash and pulled out the discarded, crumpled paper. She glanced at it then quickly shoved it in her pocket hoping neither Laynie nor Ephram saw it.
