Previously on Brand New Life:
I yawned. My alarm clock was going off. I reached over and turned it off. I got out of bed and sighed. I walked over to where I put my suitcases and opened one. From it, I grabbed a pair of black skinny jeans, a black tank top, and a pair of black high heel boots. I went into the bathroom and changed into my clothes for the day. I went back into the room and grabbed and put on my uniform top.
There was a slight knock on the door. It didn't wake Isla up. I went over to the door and opened it. Darren was standing outside. He smiled the same hot smile I saw last night.
"Come in. Isla's not up yet," I said, walking back over to my bed and zipping up my suitcase.
The bathroom door opened, making Darren look away from me. Isla came out wearing her clothes and with her boots on. She walked over to her dresser and grabbed her uniform top and put it on. Then, she walked over and sat on Darren's lap.
"Hey, cutie, you look very hot right now," she said. Then she leaned in for a kiss and got it. When the kiss was over, Isla sighed.
"We better get going," she said. She stood up and walked over to the door.
I got up the same time Darren did, and our eyes met. I cleared my throat, and left the room.
Darren and Isla left the room too, closing the door behind them.
Chapter Five:
"Hey, guys, you know what we should do tomorrow?" Isla asked everyone as me, her, and Darren slid into our group's booth.
Ashlyn looked up. "What should we do tomorrow?" she asked.
"We should go out! You know? Have a little fun?" Isla said. She looked at me, then at everyone else. "So, are you guys up for it?" she asked, then she looked back at me.
I nodded, and looked at everyone else. They all nodded as well.
"Good," Isla said, and then she got up and went into the kitchen to get her (and maybe Darren) something to eat.
I looked at Darren. "So, how long have you and Isla been going out?" I asked him. I quickly looked around at everyone else. They seemed to not notice me ask Darren how long he had been with his girlfriend.
"About five months," he said. "We got together a month after she came here. I wanted to ask her out earlier, but I needed to know her more. So, I got to know her, and she turned out to be really great, then I asked her out, and she said yes. We've been together ever since." He smiled at me, almost taking my breath away.
"Cool. I wish I had a boyfriend," I said, like a total dork.
"What happened?" Darren asked me.
"I got marked the cay before his birthday, and when he saw me and my mark, he freaked out, called me a freaking freak, told me never to come near him again, and he dumped me. And the worst part is, I don't think he has ever stopped loving me, and I have never stopped loving him. He was like my brother, almost," I said. I felt kinda weird talking about my boyfriend dumping me because I got marked. I had never told anyone about it. No one except for Darren.
"I'm sorry," he said, smiling at me in a sorry way.
Just then Isla came walking up with two trays in her hands. She slid into the booth next to Darren and set the trays down in front of them.
"What were you guys just talking about?" she asked, a hint of demand in her voice.
"Hadley was just telling me that her boyfriend freaked and broke up with her after she got marked," Darren said.
"Oh, well, that's so sad," Isla said, not looking at me or any thing or any one but Darren.
I sighed and ate my cereal.
