Brandon's PoV
Finally lunch time. I got so tired of these lessons but there was one encouraging thing for me. My lesson of Maths was with Annette! And now she was leading me to she and her friends' favourite place in cafeteria.
"You'll see, they'll like you and you'll like them back!" she said enthusiastically. That made a smile appear on my face.
"Guys!" she called as she noticed them. When I directed my eyes in the direction she was looking at I saw 8 people: 4 girls and 4 boys.
"Hey, Annette!" a raven haired Asian girl shouted as they all waved her.
"Hi, guys. Meet my old friend Brandon. He would attend to this school 7 years ago then he moved but now he's back again!"
"Hi." Was all I could say.
"Hi, my name is Musa Melody." The raven hair said.
"I'm Helia, Musa's twin brother." The one with light raven hair and light eyes said.
"I'm Flora Linphea. Nice to meet you." A brunet girl with light dark skin and green eyes said.
"I'm Tecna Zenith." The one with short pink hair said.
"I'm Timmy Newton." The one with strawberry orange hair and glasses said.
"I'm Aisha Andros." A brunet girl with dark skin said.
"I'm Sky Erakleon." A blonde boy said. Ok, it would be hard to remember their names but I'll try my best.
"Hey, all. I'm Brandon Denilo." I said with smile.
"So, Brandon, we hope we'll be good friends!" the girl named Musa said.
"It would be nice."
"I think you have all chances of making friends with any girl having such appearance." Tecna said.
"Tecna, you have Timmy already! And besides you're not usually like this." Aisha said as she smirked and winked to Musa who nodded.
"Hey, I said friends, not what you think. Listen clearly!" all laughed. We took a seat getting our food.
"So, Brandon, have you missed this school?" Flora asked. School or a person?
"Well…. Yeah, it was hard." I said as I looked at Annette who smiled in response.
"And where've you been?" Sky asked.
"In Los Angeles. My dad had a work there and we had to move."
"Really? What's his occupation?" Musa asked.
"He's a doctor. And knows everything about human organisms and anatomy and stuff like that."
"Cool. Anatomy's my third fav subject! First is Chemistry, then comes Physics." Tecna said.
"What about maths?"
"It's way too easy for me. Even a newborn kid could solve it."
"Tecna, you're exaggerating again." Annette said. Maths was her favorite subject. Well, having such company won't let you get bored.
"Ok, what we have here!?" a familiar voice was heard. As I turned I saw a girl with black hair and eyes and extra pale skin. Wait, isn't this Jess? "A new boy in our school and you guys don't even tell me? Not cool."
"Hi, Jessica, do you remember Brandon?" Annette asked. Jessica leaned so that her face was inches away from me. The serious look in her eyes was making me nervous. I had never expected a girl to be so close to me. Except for Annette. Staring into my eyes she suddenly explode.
"Of course I remember this troublemaker! Nice now those sensations, those fights will come back and I will have a good subject to write about on my school magazine!" Actually I hadn't been expecting anything else. Seems like she hasn't changed.
"Now now Brandon, I see you've really become a handsome knight in shining armor. I bet girls will be over you and Mister Dickhead will have a strong rival once again! And I guess you two will fight, punch each other's faces, kick shit out of each other once again but this time with more brutal scenes! Oh YES! That's a good article to write about!" Forget it, she's become more insane.
"No, Jess, I'm not going to fight with him again." I stated coolly.
"Huh, why not?"
"Because I'm not that little boy." She slyly leaned to me smirking.
"You won't fight even for someone?" Shhe knew about it? Of course she knew, I had to tell her for some circumstances. Gulping I didn't know what to say. Luckily she whispered her sentence and no one learned about my crush.
"Stop tensing him! Your magazine never helped any one. Only born new scandals." Sky said.
"Really? Huh, then how Tecna and Timmy got together? How Musa became favorite singer of this school? Who writes about your football team? "
"Ok, ok, we got it. You know everything about us! All of us!" Aisha said as she threw her hands in defence.
"Not all of you! I still can't get any significant information about Solarian!" Jess exclaimed dramatically, typical Jess.
"Seriously, that girl has no friend, no crush and is always isolating herself!"
"Besides she's so strange! Never talks to anyone, only has her headphones on…" headphones? Why I assume it's that naughty girl?
"Sorry, guys, but who's this Solarian girl?" I asked.
"She is!" All showed to the blonde of my misery of this day. And why amn't I surprised? She had her headphones on as usual and was eating her food that was on a tray.
"No wonder she doesn't get along with anybody, have you heard her talking?" I said as I sank into my seat folding my arms remembering the way she talked to me. Jessica smirked and whispered
"Oooh, I see the love triangle is turning into a life square? Not bad!"
"Kidding me? I don't have any interest in her!" I said as calm as I could. I hope Annetted had heard nothing of this.
"Sure, sure. Though do you, guys know what happened yesterday? Of course not as today's article met some delays. And you were not in that epic moment. Uh well,I'll say it. Yesterday Mister Dickhead of our school wanted to hang out with Solarian but she refused him so roughly! God, I've never seen such an epic refusal by a girl!"
"What? Why did he want to hang out with her?" Annette's hurt voice made my heart wince. So she still cares for that asshole.
"Duh, for some time! You sound like you don't know his player manners!" Musa said. Annette bowed her head in upset. She was trying hard to hold back her tears but I could notice them. Why can't she just forget about him?
"Come on, Annette, he uses girls like a handkerchief than throws it away."
"Jess!" Tecna, Aisha, Musa and Flora shouted. Seems like they know about Annette's crush.
"Don't listen to her." Flora said holding Annette's hand yo comfort her.
"I know. I believe someday he'll change, some day…." As if I would ever believe in that! Even now, after these years, knowing his player self she is still defending him! I clenched my hands. The same pain I felt years ago, the same pain that let me down…. It was rising again, there in my chest. Fir a moment I didn't want to be there, to hear her defend him! Why I came back in the first place? I knew the same story would start all over again! But I came here, anticipating some changes in that story, for example Annette having absolutely no feelings about that jerk and him fading away from this school! But no, nothing of those happened. Everything remained as it was.
"Oh, look who's it!" Helia said in dead voice. I felt Annette hot nervous as her stare ended in one place. As I watched in that direction I saw him, the asshole, the one who steals any girl's, including mine, heart placing it in a box under a key. He hadn't changed, only got a bit… heck I won't say that word, he doesn't deserve it! He approached the blonde aggressively with his eyes on the verge of frustration. When passing the girls that were looking at him melted down.
"I love it when he gets angry."I heard one of them say.
"Solarian, plead for my mercy! Now!" he shouted hysterically. The blonde, to everyone's surprise, was calm. She didn't even move. She only continued eating and listening to her music, not even bother to look at him. He got mad and punched the table.
"Don't ignore me, you nasty slut!"
"Do me a favor and get lost, you're spoiling my appetite." She said the same way she talked to me. The same irritating calm way. Feeling even more mad he took harshly her headphones from her ear. "Hey, give back!" This time she gave a tone getting up from her seat.
"This is going to be epic!" Jess exclaimed as she got out her phone starting recording.
"Are you going to just record it?" I asked a little irritated by what she did.
"Of course! Why don't you get involved in this upcoming fight?" I wanted to answer her but was cut off.
"No, Jessica, he's not going to be involved in this and start a fight!" Annette said as she got up. "I'll go and talk to him to stop this childishness." What? I managed to grasp her soft hand.
"Annette, it's nit a good idea. He won't listen to you as usual. Just for a moment." I regretted doing this as I saw the disappointed and sad look in her eyes. I hate seeing her like that. The brightness and happiness must shine in those eyes!
"Oh my!" Flora's concern mumbling snapped me out of my thoughts. All of a sudden all in that cafeteria where watching with that concern look. As I turned my head I saw Daniel squeezing the blondes arm. It must have been hurtful as there was already a pink bruise but surprisingly the girl didn't show any emotions.
"How dared you talk to me like that. You're going to regret this if you don't say sorry. Do you know who I am. I'm the one who gets anything and anyone I want, who can do anything he wants, who can destroy any obstacle on his way…" he was continuously squeezing her arm. This was it. Maybe I didn't like that girl but certainly she didn't deserve it. She's a girl after all. A fragile and soft lady. Perhaps soft.
"Will you stop it already?" I stepped forward saying loudly. I could feel the eyes of the people on me.
"Who dared?" Daniel and the girl's head turned to meet a new participant if this show.
"Really, Daniel, again starting a scene?" I said coolly as I folded my arms smirking at him. He observed me from up to down.
"Wait, wait… it's this that snob! What was the name….ah, Brandy! The hero and knight in shining armor of all time. The one who's against injustice! In other words… the loser!" he said sarcastically.
"You haven't changed. The same asshole." I said as it was a venom o wanted to split and get rid of it.
"Thanks, you haven't either. Though no, only one thing changed in you. You don't need your mommy's help any more. I hope so. Or are you going to call her and say ' bad boy Daniel kicked my ass'" the last sentence he said in a baby tone. All started to laugh. Suddenly I felt someone's presence behind me.
"Please, Daniel, stop this!" Annette appeared with the others behind her.
"Oh, the same story. Don't worry, love, I won't kick the shit out of him this time. And this…" he referred to the blonde. "is just a way of spending time, so don't worry, my love, you'll always stay the one for me. No girl can be compare with you. Now, please, get that boy out until I deal with this 'hobby'." How dared he say that to Annette. And what a nickname he he used? Are they together? Why she bares him. I felt so sick of it and wanted to rush and punch super hard on that face but…
After some seconds he appeared fallen on the ground with swollen face. This made all of us shocked. As I tried to register what happened I noticed the tray the blonde was holding in her hand. So she hit him with it. Then she placed the tray back on the table and knelt to get her headphones from the asshole.
"You…. Insane bitch…" Daniel managed to say. The blonde got up and looked at him with her chin high.
"If get any closer to me, you can say goodbye to your family's generation." She said in a dead tone. I wouldn't like to be in Daniel's shoes that time. That girl was so scary…
Without any emotion she took her bag and, past me. She didn't even look at any one as if there were no people. She just left the cafeteria.
"This is an article!" Jess said. After the blonde went all started whispering about what happened. As for Annette, she rushed to help the bastard. But the thing that amazed me… Waa that blonde. I have never seen such type of a girl, maybe heard but not seen. She was the first who showed that asshole his place. Only because of it I felt so… relaxed but seeing Annette helping him….
Later that day during dinner my mind was engaged in the things that happened that day so that I hadn't listened mom's question.
"Brandon? Are you ok?" she asked.
"Huh, sure, why?"
"You seem absent-minded. Has something happened?"
"No."
"Really, son, are you feeling om?" my dad ask.
"Chill guys, I'm fine. Just tired. No need to be worried."
"Daddy, what do you think who is strong, girls or boys?" My sister Melanie asked.
"Hmm… I think boys. We are the one who protect you, females!"
"I think we, girls are stronger!" Melanie said pouting.
"Why are you asking it? Sweetie?" mom asked.
"We had a debate about this topic and no one won."
"I think girls can be way stronger apparently." I said recalling how the blonde hit him. "I'm finished. Going to my room."
"Sure, honey."
As I walked to my room and lied on my bed recalling that scene again. I felt so satisfied when she hit him. Even I didn't get that a smile formed on my lips. But… knowing Daniel, he won't leave her until he gets what he want.
