Enjoy!
Headline Academy Prt. 2
One of the girls had come into the room, and stood a few feet in front of the door, while the other hung back in the doorway, a nervous smile tugging at her lips. Physically, the girls were identical. Both miniature, blond versions of Brianna, all the way down to the light array of freckles across their noses and the twin braids that Dekka had grown so used to seeing on Brianna's head.
The girl in the doorway didn't dredge up quite as many memories, because it was rather hard to imagine Brianna looking so timid and shy, cowering in the doorway behind her sister. The other, however, with her confident grin, standing with her arms crossed over her chest, which was puffed out as though that would make her look larger. It couldn't have been more like looking at Brianna, in the flesh, as fearless and confident as ever.
No, she was looking at a much younger girl with dirty blond hair, not strawberry.
But she could have-
She shoved the thoughts away ferociously. Crying, which memories of Brianna had a nasty habit of causing, without a doubt qualified as giving them ammunition.
The twins were looking at her, she realized, two identical, green-eyed looks, as one explained the circumstances of their tardiness to the teacher and the other took as seat at the group with Emmeline and Kara. Emmeline said something then, that forced the girl, the one who had Brianna's personality to match, to look away.
"Okay!" Mrs. Monk called as the other twin left to take her seat. "So, as you all have probably noticed, we have a new student."
Headline Academy
The twins had been four when the FAYZ(wasn't that what they called it?) wall had gone up. Only barely four, however, so maybe that was why their mother thought they didn't remember Brianna, their older sister. Well, half sister, but that didn't change anything, Brianna was the best sister they could have asked for. Her birthday had been a mere month and a half after theirs so she had often just rounded their age difference up to eight years.
They had just turned five when it came back down. They'd already been at Headline, the school had been more than happy to allow them to start school a month before their fifth birthday, and not many people at Headline watch the news or read the papers, so the twins didn't know about the wall coming down, until three months after. Their mother had arrived, taken them out of school and whisked them off to California, where they attended a service for hundreds of the kids who had been alive at the beginning of the FAYZ.
Their mother thought they didn't understand what was going on, they both could tell that, but when that blond girl took to the stage, they realized that, this was not a celebration of life. There sister's pictures were hung around because she was no longer around. Just a memory now.
And as that blond girl talked about their sister's bravery, and all of the lives she saved, the twins saw sad faces, and one of those faces was a broad, dark girl with her hair in neat corn rows and something that made them think of the things that their mother had tried often to convince Brianna to wear, but their sister had refused, (weren't they called ear rings?) in her nose. That girl was here now, seated in the back corner of the room with Chris, Shanea, Lauren, and Noah. Not exactly a surprise, Noah and Lauren dubbed everyone their friend at first meeting, and would have insisted on her sitting with them until she found her corner of society.
Weston stared at her, openly because she couldn't do subtlety, it just wasn't in her programming. How well had she known Brianna? Had they been close? Did she know how Brianna had died? How many of the questions that they had not asked their mother because of her clear instability could this girl answer?
Weston felt a hand on her shoulder, and looked back at her sister. It's a rumor that twins share a mental connection that allows them to communicate without words. Like Professor X from the X-men, one of Brianna's favorite movies that she had practically raised her sisters on. Well, Weaston didn't know how other's worked, but her connection with Weslie was not through mind reading, it was through facial expression, body language, things that anyone could pick up on if they tried, but maybe they knew each other's signs better because they spent so much time around each other.
At any rate, this was the same look Weslie always gave her sister when she thought she was about to do some rash, but there was something else there, something like the look she gives her when she's trying to say, "I get it". That could only mean one thing. Not here. Not now.
She nodded, and went to take her seat, as Weslie explained their circumstances to Mrs. Monk. Why are you just getting to school today? That's actually quite simple Mrs. Monk, you see, our mother didn't want to send us back to Headline because last time she sent a child to a boarding school, it ended in her getting trapped in a ball for a year, and then being ripped from our lives forever. What changed her mind? We begged.
Yes, they had begged. Headline was their home, the other students were there extended family. Their best friends were here, their mentors; Lauren and Noah. Headline Academy was the only solid ground they had left now that Brianna was gone, and their mother was in her still grief stricken state. She would cry, every night, and often, the twins had heard her mutter about if only. It was so bad now that their father was hardly ever around anymore, because he simply couldn't take it.
If only... Weston was loosing her patience with it as well. Who cares what one changed action could have done? Who cares that if you had fought harder to pull Brianna from Coates sooner, then it would never have happened? If only Weston or Weslie had gone to their father and said how much they wanted Brianna at home more, it wouldn't have happened, but they didn't and it did, and they couldn't change that.
If only...what a stupid thought.
Headline Academy
"I think everyone heard her confirm her name as Dekka," Mrs. Monk went on.
"Everyone but Raylee," Andrew commented, earning a sideways glare from Mrs. Monk. At the front of the room, from the table of gestureres, a girl with short, sandy hair rolled her eyes, and her hands flew into action, tongue stuck half out and her nose crinkled distastefully.
The kids at her table laughed, as did many of the others around the room. Lauren laughed and waved a hand in the air, causing the girl to look at her. Lauren's hands moved as she spoke, saying, "Don't you think anything connected to the word smart is a bit of an exaggeration?"
The other girl shrugged, and made returning motions, and it finally clicked in Dekka's mind what she was seeing. There had been a boy at Coates who was deaf, and he'd had a rather creepy guy that followed him around everywhere, hands constantly moving as he translated things that the boy couldn't catch himself because of his lack of hearing. It was called signing, or at least, that's what she had heard, she hadn't taken much interest in the boy, he was a senior, so she only ever saw him in the hallways, or at lunch.
"Okay! Let's move on!' Mrs. Monk called, waving her hand for silence, which she got. "Okay, so, I'm going to give a short description of this class for her sake. I'll just mention the most important things and the rest you'll catch on too as we progress." She stood in middle of the room, waving her hand thoughtfully as she talked. "This is mentoring, which is almost like Study Hall, except slightly different. Tuesdays and Thursdays we run like normal study hall; you can do homework or whatever. Mondays we have class discussions, we pick a topic, sometimes in class, sometimes I have one planned before, it depends. Wednesday is Debate Day, where I pick a topic, everyone gets to pick a side, and we debate the topic. Fridays are Challenge Days, where I choose a challenge game, and that's what we do in class for that day, and the winner, or winning team, gets a prize, which will vary, usually." She made a popping sound, and her eyes traveled to a far corner of her vision, as though looking for something. "That's really all there is to the class. Oh! And I always get asked this, so I'm going to go ahead and get it out of the way. I'm sure you've noticed the age variation in the room. That's because my class does not qualify as simply a elementary, or middle school, or high school class, its required for all grades, so they just don't bother trying to separate them all out. So I end up with mixed classes. It's strange, but I don't make the schedules, I just teach who they give me."
Chuckles graced the air at that, making Mrs. Monk smile. "So! Today is Discussion Day and we have about...thirty minutes, give or take, so let's pick a topic and do some discussing! Who has a topic?"
Andrew's hand shot up, but he didn't wait for permission to speak as he said, "I would like to suggest the topic of GAP."
Jeers and groans sound around room. Chirs threw her head back and grumbled, "You have got to be kidding me!" while Lauren and the boy exchanged annoyed glances.
Mrs. Monk blew out a huff of air. "Andrew, Discussion Days are not meant for you to make fun of their classmates' sexuality."
"I'm not making fun!" Andrew argued, a mischievous look taking over. "I just want to know what it means to be Gay And Proud."
"It simply means that I make out in public, same as you, except I do it with girls instead of guys," Lauren snarked. "Since we've settled that, I'd like to discuss what its like being a hopeless flirt."
An uproar of laughter took over the room, and even Dekka had to smile as Andrew's face flushed, and Lauren stuck out her tongue rather childishly.
Andrew fell silent then, pouting for most of the class period, and they settled on discussing musical culture, brought up by a white-haired girl called Jessie. Discussion turned out to be more like casual banter, which was slightly disappointing, because it didn't distract Dekka from the Brianna look-alikes, or Lauren and Andrews' back and forth from earlier. Well, at least now she wouldn't have to ask what a GAP girl was.
How many others were there at Headline. Lauren for sure, and possibly Chris and Shanea, considering their reactions to the name, but other than them? Dekka hadn't spent much time watching at Coates, more focused on determining whether or not Brianna was, but now that she didn't have Brianna...
Did it matter? Any girl she could find just wouldn't be Brianna. It wasn't possible. So really, it didn't matter how many there were. Did it?
When the bell rang, announcing the end of class, she was perfectly happy to make her retreat. Maybe being away from the twins and the "GAP Girls" would relieve her of her thoughts, however, as she was grabbing up her bag, she remembered the man from the office again. You should ask around about Fish.
"I don't suppose you know anything about fish?" She felt stupid asking.
"Excuse me?" Lauren raised an eyebrow, Chris and Shanea had already made a retreat, but the boy, whom, Dekka had found out, was named Noah, was still standing by the desk, waiting patiently for Lauren, or, at least, she thought it was Lauren he was waiting for, since that was who he was looking at.
"Fish. I was told I should ask about it after class."
"She," Lauren responded, a smile forming on her lips.
"Excuse me?" It was Dekka's turn to raise an eyebrow.
Lauren giggled. "Fish isn't an 'it'. Fish is a 'she'." She then tapped herself on the head lightly. "This she to be exact."
Dekka hated the feeling of heat rushing to her face, and even worse the stupidity of it. Why hadn't she assumed that Fish had been some sort of nick name? How could actual fish possibly help her out at all at this point?
A whistle snapped her out of her thoughts, and she looked up to see Lauren staring expectantly at her, hand held out. "What?"
Lauren rolled her eyes, but her grin, if at all possible, widened. "Your schedule." When Dekka still didn't seem to follow, Lauren shifted her weight to one side and blew her dirty blond locks, falling out or her ponytail, out of her eyes. "Jeez, I might as well try talking to Raylee." Ouch, being compared to a deaf girl, that's an ego bruiser. "If Neal told you to look for me, there's probably a reason. Let me see your schedule so I can figure it out."
Dekka handed over the paper, and Lauren scanned it, Noah looking curiously over her shoulder. Quite suddenly, Noah let out a laugh. "You have a room mate now? How long has it been since they last tried to put someone in a room with you?"
Lauren gave him a sideways glare. "Would you shut it? You're going to make it sound like I'm impossible!"
Noah shrugged. "Some people think you are."
"Ouch," Lauren mumbled, moving to hand the paper back to Dekka. "You're room is mine, too, that's why he told you to look for me, and we have second period together, so I can show you to the class." She began to walk away, and when Dekka didn't follow she turned back and spread her hands. "Come on!"
If she wasn't still in so much shock from the events of the past hour, Dekka may have been irritated with this girl, she was acting like she was some five-year-old who's hand she had to constantly hold, but, then again, as the rational side of her brain reminded, Dekka wasn't exactly making anything easy; hardly speaking and completely zoning out half the time.
Still, that didn't justify treating someone like a toddler did it?
Headline Academy
Lauren had been attending Headline Academy for seven years. In those years, she had had eight room mates. Three passed through the first two years, before she managed to get her attacks under control. They scared the girls, and their parents, and so the school had no choice. Then, however, the attacks became almost non-existent. She shared a room with a girl for two years, before she died. She lived out in Colorado, and decided to go ice-skating when she was home for winter break. She fell through the ice, and her brother, who had been the only other person there, couldn't get her out in time. When the school year started the next year, she was with a new room mate, however, at that point, Lauren had come to a pretty significant conclusion about herself, and this new quirk turned out to be very good at running off room mates. For some reason or another, it freaks out parents, and some girls themselves, sharing a room with a lesbian. Maybe that's for the same reason that they don't want their kids sharing a room with a guy, but seriously, if your kids straight what do you have to worry about?
It didn't matter much though, because that just meant Lauren got the whole room to herself. Five room mates that year, they had a particularly large influx of puppies that year. Then, the school decided it was best to just stop trying, and last year, Lauren had gone the whole year without a room mate.
Lauren felt her phone vibrate, and tugged it out of her shorts', which she wore under the skirt, pocket. It was Noah.
Ten says she's in the office asking for a transfer by the end of the day.
Why so soon? Lauren replied, glancing back at Dekka, who didn't seem to notice, or maybe she just didn't care.
They always go by the end of the day they find out, and, thanks to Andrew, she already knows.
Unless she was zoned out when that was going on, too, she thought it, but didn't put it into the phone. It wasn't a thought meant to be shared, because most would take it as a rude joke, but that wasn't it. It was an actual theory, because the girl had seemed in her own world ever since...when had it started? She wasn't that bad at first, but, sometime during first period, she had collapsed in on herself and hadn't seemed to have found a way to rebuild yet. So instead Lauren replied, Double says she makes it to the end of the week.
I'll take that. She smiled and shoved her phone back into her pocket as they came into Mrs. Garner's, the biology teacher, room. She found Lilah, a girl with shoulder-length, thin black hair and excited dark eyes, seated in the back, at a row of three desks. She waved absently for Dekka to follow, and made her way over.
"Hey Lih," Lauren greeted, sitting down in the seat beside her. "How are you?"
"Good. The hospital flooded this summer, so my moms were forced to take off of work, so we got to spend a week at the beach, which was really fun." Her eyes fell on Dekka and they lit up. "Hey! I know you! You were all over the news! Well, I mean, it wasn't just you, I mean, it was all of the kids in the FAYZ thing, but-"
"The what?" Nobody at Headline spent much time watching the news, or reading the paper, and most even had news blocked from their computers, so much news from the outside didn't get around. However, every time Lilah went home for summer, she never bothered going home during most holidays, because her parents were very busy doctors who wouldn't' be around for half of the break anyways, she was chalk full of outside gossip. Lauren, on the other hand, actually spent her summer at the school, since her legal guardians were the owners of the school, so she never got any outside news, except what she heard around the school.
"The anomaly thing that went up almost two years ago," Lilah pouted at Lauren's ignorance.
"It stood for Fallout Alley Youth Zone," Dekka murmured, a pained look taking over her face. "Howard named it. He was good at coming up with names, even if that was all he was good for."
Lauren got the feeling the girl wasn't talking to them, and probably didn't want to think they were listening, so she spoke, "You mean that thing out in California? The wall thing that had all the government scientist and stuff going nuts?" Lilah nodded, and Lauren snorted, thinking about the physics geek Greene, who had gone practically insane when the wall came up. Never stopped talking about it.
"It came down last year. Almost half of the kids originally in it came out dead, or dying," Lilah looked pained. "Mom was still a wreck when I came home in June, all the horrible things the kids they had to take care of had been through. Now every time I complain about anything she pulls the "Well, it could be worse, just look at what happened to the perdido beach kids!" card. Then I get absolutely no support from my other mom, who pretends like she has no idea that I'm being thrown to the wolves!" Lilah huffed, causing black hair to fly crazily. "Weston and Weslie knew someone in it. That's why they got out of school last year, remember?" Lauren nodded. "Yeah, they went the the memorial service that California set up."
"So their person died," Lauren cringed at the thought. She had been seven when her own family died, and she didn't wish loosing a loved one at that age on anyone.
"Yeah, she did."
"Was she their sister?" Dekka's chocolate colored eyes were wide now, staring at Lilah, who thought about it.
"I think so...half-sister, actually, but still-"
"What was her name?" Something in the girl's tone sounded wrong. Like she knew the answer, but didn't want it to be true.
Lilah's face scrunched up, as she glanced around the room as though the walls held the answer. "Er... Anna...I think. No wait, that doesn't sound right..."
"Bri-anna?" The other girl pressed, and Lilah's face lit up.
"Yeah! That's it!" Then she frowned, when she noticed the pained look on Dekka's face. "Oh...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything."
Dekka didn't seem to be listening anymore. Lilah fell into a rather awkward silence, which may have been the most disturbing part of the situation. "Well, Dekka's my new room mate."
Lilah laughed. "They're trying that again? Does she know yet?"
She laughed, nodding. "Yeah, Andrew wanted to discuss GAP in first period, so..."
Lilah threw back her head. "Oh my-"
"Yeah, I know." Lauren shook her head. "He's ridiculous."
Lilah's third period was across the hall from Coach Urrie's Geometry class, which Dekka had, so the girl agreed to show her the way.
Lauren's own third period was history, with Mr. Ross, across the building. Rose Creed was in the class, too. Rose was a girl with fiery red curls and too-pretty blue eyes. Too-pretty. That was a very good way to describe everything about the girl. She was the beauty of the GAP Girls' Clan, as the school had come to call it, but Lauren was not allowed to take her thoughts much farther than that, because Rose was Chris's girlfriend, not hers.
Rose kept up an easy conversation the entire class period. Rose was head of more school associations than you could count, but she was most infamous for her job in advertising. Not just for Headline itself, but for all the clubs in headline. She created t-shirts, hats, scarves, anything you could imagine, for the band, spirit squads, pretty much every club, except for art club, who refused to allow anyone but its own members to design their things. She also did side projects for names that popped up around school. For example, it was her fault that the phrase GAP had stuck so solidly, which embarrassed Chris beyond belief. Her projects, however, were her favorite topic. She avoided talking about her family, just like Lauren, which made talking to her even easier, because she didn't finish sharing a story about her mother, then look expectantly at you, as though waiting for you to share your own stories, none of which Lauren herself had.
When third period ended, Rose and Lauren trekked across campus to the large gym together, Rose still going on about her plan for the photography club t-shirts.
Headline Academy
Dekka came out of third period feeling considerably more alert, now that she had been given around an hour to clear her mind of all thoughts of Brianna, and the FAYZ.
Unfortunately, that meant that she wasn't able to ignore Chris as she came up from behind. "Hey! It's you again!" She called, falling in step beside her. She stared over at the schedule in the older girl's hand, and grinned. "Gym? That's where we're going," she gestured to herself, and Shanea, who had just come out of the class in front of them. "We can show you!"
"Show her what?" Lilah wondered, coming up beside Chris, and cocking her head at the schedule. "Oh, hey! We have gym together!"
"You have gym next period, too?" Chris grinned, holding up a hand. Lilah laughed and clapped the other girl's hand.
Dekka followed them as they began pushing through the crowd, for lack of any other option. They lead her down an almost empty side hallway, then branched of to a side door, down a dark, storage-like hallway, on the other side of which they found Julie, seated precariously on a lopsided desk, eyes sliding across the pages of her book. She looked up when they approached and commented. "It took you long enough. I see you brought a party with you." She raised her eyebrow at Dekka, or maybe it was at both her and the dark-haired girl walking between her and Chris, but it felt like it was directed solely at her. "I thought Lauren was the puppy's escort today."
Lilah laughed. "Lauren can't be everywhere."
"That's true," Julie shrugged, hopping off of the desk and collecting her faded messenger bag off of the floor. "I'm Julie, by the way."
"Dekka."
"I know," Julie replied, opening the door. "I heard Mrs. Monk this morning, and I remember everything."
Chris laughed. "She's not exaggerating, either!"
"Of course I'm not." Julie rolled her eyes. "I don't exaggerate, you exaggerate."
"Someone's feeling defensive today." Chris frowned.
"I just spent three months locked in a house with my mother and obnoxious older sister, who question everything I do or say, of course I'm feeling defensive!" Julie gave a huff, that turned into a sigh. "I'm also in a bit of a mood, can't you tell?"
A wave of laughter followed her words, causing a smile to spread across Julie's face.
They had come out into a large, open area outside the main building. Behind the wall of Headline was a large expanse of flat ground, that stretched ridiculously. Buildings scattered across the area at odd intervals, as though someone had simply dropped them out of the sky, and left them in the place they landed. Their procession moved across the expanse towards a building that had another wall stretched out behind, like a scale model of the campus itself.
Inside was a dingy-looking basketball court, with faded white floors and walls painted gold and black, chipping, and completely gone in some places.
Kids were milling around the gym, small groups scattered around making loud conversation that caused the room to sound like it was buzzing. Chris glanced around, then, started to make her way across the gym to the far wall, where Lauren was leaned against the wall, near a thick wooden door. She bobbed her head and listened as a fiery-haired girl talked, as did the third girl, seated in the chair beside the door. She looked to be a much younger, girl with short, dust-colored, breezy hair.
Chris put an arm around the shoulders of the fiery haired girl, and kissed her cheek, saying, "I looked for you yesterday."
"Yeah, I was in meetings all day yesterday," the girl sighed, turning to face the other girl, causing Chris's arm to fall from her shoulders. She took the other girl's hands in hers and said, "How about dinner in my room tonight to make up?"
"Hey, if you don't take her up on that offer I will," Lilah joked.
The red-haired girl glanced at her, then caught sight of Dekka. "Hi!" She released Chris's hand and held hers out to Dekka. "I'm Rose Creed, student council president!"
Dekka glanced at her outstretched hand uncertainly, but Shanea was already providing a distraction. "And head of everything else."
"Oh, Demon Spawn, I see you've come back from your fortress in Hell to wreak havoc amongst the rest of us again." Rose smiled too sweetly.
"Nice to see you, too, Best Friend's Girlfriend," Shanea replied with a roll of her eyes.
"No rude come back? You're slipping Demon Spawn!" Rose pouted.
"I was told I had to be nice, and, unlike you, I'm capable of abiding by the wishes of the people I care about, or do you care?" Shanea cocked her head.
Rose's jaw dropped. "How dare you!"
Before she could go on, however, the were interrupted by a ringing laugh sounding across the gym. Rose's nose crinkled and she muttered, "Oh for Pete's sake!"
Standing in the doorway of the gym was Andrew, dark eyes alight with their mischievous light. "How did all five you you end up up in the same class?" He wondered.
"All five of who?" Dekka thought, not realizing she had spoken aloud until Lauren answered.
"All five of the GAP Girls," she replied, causing Dekka to look over at her in surprise. She had come off of the wall, and moved to stand beside the other girl, staring at Andrew. "Could of been even more ironic!" She called over to him. "The GAP Guys could have been here, too!"
"Ah, the The Voice of Reason presents an excellent point," Andrew said dramatically, waving his hand. "Still, the irony is strong!"
"Would you shut up before I come over there and punch you in the mouth!" Chris snapped.
"Aw, yeah, now you ruined the mood! Thanks a lot, Chris!"
"Six," Dekka sighed, causing Laruen to look at her curiously.
"What?"
Dekka didn't answer, because it wasn't meant to be heard, and she didn't feel like explaining herself, instead she said, "You should tell your friend to pay up." Lauren blinked in surprise, and it was painfully obvious that she hadn't realized Dekka was aware of the bet about how long before she opted to change rooms, but the girl hadn't been particularly sly about reading the messages. She might as well have handed it to Dekka and said, "Here check this out!"
"I'm afraid you're stuck with me."
Okay, so this chapter was mostly for character development and introducing more important characters. I also set up for things that we'll see unfold in future chapters, you may have caught those moments, may have not.
The twins! I'm sure when you read this you all had a sudden flashback to Hunger when it talked about Brianna's mom and step dad and twin half sisters, right? That was how this story was inspired, when Brianna died, I suddenly remembered the sisters and thought about what it would be like if Dekka met them and they were just like Brianna and thus..Yeah, I'm going to move on now...
I think I made it pretty clear, but just in case, a puppy is the Headline Academy word for a new student! And GAP: Gay And Proud. I used to hear that all the time around school when I was younger, and I needed something to call it and that came to mind, so, yeah, I will plunge more into Rose's hand in spreading that in later chapters. Also, I know lots of you are thinking: Why would you mention PTSD attacks then not explain? I will explain! Don't worry! The more you read my work the more you come to realize that I set things in chapters, then later come back and elaborate on them. So yeah, no worries. Also, I am going to elaborate on Rose and Shanea's distaste for each other as well!
Okay, I think that's everything I needed to cover..if you have any questions well, that's why we have review and PM buttons! I will be happy to explain(or at least try to) anything!
So! The final part of my A/N!
There really isn't any way for me to set up a challenge from this chapter, so I'll just ask questions and I'll give five points for each question you answer! K? Kool!
1. Which character focus(you can't really call them POV's because that implies first person, so I call them Character Focuses since they focus on one character in particular, mostly...) was your favorite?
2. Which character has made the best first impression for you?
Remember, these aren't mandatory to answer, just for fun!
Don't forget to drop off a review, and thanks for reading! ^.^
