Chapter 4: Welcome to Hell

"Settle down! Come on, that's enough! Now today we have two new students in our class. Why don't you introduce yourselves to us."

If two words scared me, they had to be introduce yourself. Oh hi! I'm Bronte! Goodbye! The end! THAT'S ALL! Well, that would be the way I'd have it. Apparently everyone else wouldn't.

Luke glanced over at me. You first, I said with my eyes. Sighing, he stepped forward.

"Well my name is Luke Agnew and this is my sister Bronte." Every female pair of eyes in the room were glued to him except one. I decided I liked her best. Several heads also rose in surprise at his accent. Well this was gonna be fun.

"We're both sixteen and we just moved from Sydney, Australia."

"And you are twins?" The teacher asked. Mr Patterson, I recalled. He had black hair and a matching, really hairy moustache. Ewh! Why I am I thinking about his moustache?

"Actually triplets. Our brother is in another class at the moment." Yeah, that's right. You just keep talking Luke while I fade further and further back into the wall.

"I thought I had seen some similarities." Patty said, almost smuggly. Wow! We look alike? I never noticed! I mean we only have the same blonde hair, blue eyes and the same facial features, but that isn't noticeable at all.

"Well, take a free seat and we can finally get on with the lesson." The class groaned. Finally? He was the one who made us - well Luke - introduce ourselves.

Luke walked through the room first while I followed. I pulled on the first seat I came too but the girl beside it grabbed it and stopped me.

"Sorry you can't have this seat. It's taken."

I rolled my eyes. Yeah, who's sitting there? You're imaginary friend? I kept moving until I found one at the back of the room. Not bothering to care who my neighbour was, I slung my bag down and flung myself onto the seat. And guess what? I looked over to wear I had been refused a seat and guess who was sitting there? Luke. I was dropped for my brother. Now there's a great self esteem boost.

"Okay, people. Let's get this show on the road. Open your books to Page 34 and Max you can start us off."

The rest of the day went some what like the first class. French was the last class before lunch, and the first one that neither of my brothers shared with me. That wasn't exactly a bad thing. Both had practically deserted me anyway. Luke had gone off with my friend the bit-, Cow who had rejected me in English Lit. And Heath had found a group already. I guess neither wanted to help prevent their sister look like a loner.

My French teacher was actually really decent as far as teachers go, compared to the witch we had back home. I think she got off on telling us how useless and pathetic we were. Probably the only thing I didn't miss.

So I had to walk to lunch like the new kid, despite being only one of three. Just another reason why this place sucks so much. I walked in to the cafeteria, rooting through my bag as it hung off one shoulder. I couldn't find my money for lunch anywhere. I groaned. I probably forgot it on the counter.

"Hey! Bronte!"

I didn't look up at first. At home their had been a couple of Brontes. But then I remembered that this was America and Bronte was an Aussie name.

Heath was calling me from a few tables away. There was a mixture of girls and guys seated around it, including Luke and Cow. I groaned again, this time internally, but picked myself up and walked over to the table.

Everyone moved a little to fit me in, making me feel so special! Finally I was seated directly opposite Heath. To his right sat Luke and to his right sat Cow.

"Hi!" Squealed Cow. Hmm, maybe that should change to pig…. "You must be Bronte! Luke has told me so much about you!" Yeah, right.

"Oh have you really Lucas." I smiled my sweetest fake smile possible. He gagged on his drink. He knew he was so in for it.

"Yes he has. It so good to meet you, finally."

"Oh but we have met, remember? Today's English class, you know, the seat incident?"

She glared at me. "I don't remember actually."

I saw everybody's head turn to watch our little "debate". "Oh I think you do. You know, you refused me the seat 'cause what? I'm not special enough for you? Well if I wasn't then then I'm certainly not now. " I pushed my chair back and walked back out of the cafeteria and into the bathroom. It seemed like all I was doing these days was look for bathrooms. I was too tired to have a fully fledged bitch fight right now. Cow was probably back there worming her way back into my brother's good books. I honestly was too tired too care.

I fiddled with my hair for a bit in the mirror and washed my hands. My stomach rumbled. I love food. I can't even go a couple of hours without it.

Eventually I left the bathroom, (didn't want everybody to think I had the runs now did I?) and collided into Heath who was standing outside the door.

"You know it can't be good for your popularity status, standing outside the girls bathroom."

"Oh Bron! Here." He said, thrusting half a sandwich and an apple into my empty hands. "You had no food earlier and you're probably really hungry right?"

"Thanks Heath." I replied, twirling the apple in one hand. "That's really, um, nice of you."

"Your welcome. See you later." He jogged back down the hall, towards the cafeteria. I looked at the food in my hands.

Welcome to Hell, someone had scrawled on the wall behind me. I agree.
