Brandy Quinn, was an observer and she'd always been one. Ever since she met her best friends in 5th grade, Demetri, and Eli. Although they were closer she never really did feel left out.

Eli and Demetri were always there for Brandy no matter what. And that's what made their friendship special.

Brandy shot up from her sleep as she heard her loud alarm ringing. Rubbing her eyes she got up and put on her slippers before going to the bathroom.

"Mom?" Brandy yelled out for her mom before realizing that she wasn't back from work. She finished up in the bathroom. And putting on clothes before grabbing the trash and walking outside.

"Oh, bottles go in the blue bins." an unknown voice said catching Brandy's attention "Listen, Menudo, I've lived in this shit hole for ten years. The pipes don't work, the fountains are full of piss, and the only good thing here is that I don't have to talk to anybody. So nice knowing you" Johnny said to the young boy

Brandy rolled her eyes at him, she was used to him being a jerk.

"Ok... well have a nice day?... I guess..." the young boy said as Johnny got in his car and drove away

Brandy walked to the trash bin where the boy was standing. "Brandy, Brandy Quinn and don't pay much attention to him, he's a good guy sometimes he has bad days." the boy looked at Brandy "I'm Miguel Diaz, and my family and I just moved into 109."

Brandy nodded "I'm in 106. What school are you going to?" she was curious about Miguel.

"West Valley High School," Miguel said seeming a little nervous. "Me too. I guess I'll see you later." Brandy walked away

She was a bit nervous talking to Miguel and she didn't know why. She wiped her sweaty palms off. While walking back inside her house closing the door.

Miguel's clothes and hair were covered with pink liquid. Brandy looked at her confused as she sat on a bench with her notebook. "What happened?" she questioned him

"These- These guys they poured my grandma's Pepto all over me and they started beat-beating me up but then Mr.Lawrence used some fighting moves- and it was incredible.! He beat up all of them and then the cops came..." Miguel explained while Brandy listened

"Seems about right," Brandy said simply "i should go my grandma is probably waiting for me." Miguel walked off going up to his house.

Brandy put all her belongings in her bag and headed home too it was getting too late and she wanted to greet her mom but she never showed. As Brandy got out of the shower her phone rang before her mom's contact popped up. She quickly picked it up and pressed the speaker.

"Hey mom where are you?" Brandy questioned "listen- my boss wanted us to stay for a week but i'll be there for your birthday- and i'll send you the rent money I'm so sorry sweetie-" Grace, brandy's mom rushed out.

Brandy knew that her mom would do this she would always go on a trip for work and have to stay an extra week. "It's okay I unde-" the phone cut signaling that her mom had hung up. She let out a breath and threw her phone on the bed before putting on clothes and sat in her bed.

Brandy's phone lit up with an instagram notification. She opened it and saw that it was Miguel following her. She smiled lightly before following him back and plugging in her phone before counting off her lamp.

Letting the darkness sallow her whole as she slowly fell asleep.

The next day was boring nobody texted her since Eli and demetri were at camp.

An Alarm rang loudly making brandy wake up before sunlight almost blinded her. She threw a pillow groaning and laying back down. The alarm went off again making her get up and stop it before she walked into the bathroom and closed the door, getting ready for her first day of hell.

She grabbed her backpack and purse walking out her door and unlock her car before Miguel came up to her. "Hey- hey um do you think I could get a ride- I know we don't know each other that well- but I promise I'm not gonna-"

"Sure. Get in" Brandy cut off his rambling and got in the car as he hurried in the passenger seat. Brandy turned on the radio before driving out of the complex. Miguel spoke up "so- What classes are you in?" Brandy was confused but didn't say anything about it "um-  A.P English, math, science, social studies, and Advanced college courses,"

Miguel nodded smiling she saw his braces and turned her eyes back to the road. She was nervous and this time she didn't have an excuse she didn't know why and didn't wanna even look at him.

They pulled into the school parking lot and parked in front before grabbing her things. "Hey Brandy- do you think you could take me to the strip mall after school- you don't have too I-"

Brandy nodded "sure- it's no big deal." Brandy said before they both walked inside the school building.

At lunch brandy saw Miguel walking around looking for a table before stopping at their table "is it cool if I sit here" Miguel asked "ohh sorry tables really blowing up right now I can put you on the waitlist, but it's probably next semester at the earliest." Demetri said

"Ok." Miguel said before going to walk away "No, he's kidding. You can sit here." Brandy said to Miguel before he smiled a little sitting down "Miguel"

"Demetri. This is Eli and Brandy-" Demetri said "Demetri that's him." Brandy whispered after she told her friends about him. They looked at her "Eli's a man of few words but Brandy here is a talker I mean she will talk your ear of-" Brandy pinched him hard making Miguel laugh a bit.

Yasmine and sam walked pass their table. Miguel stared at them before Brandy and Demetri noticed "dude, don't torture yourself. Those are the rich girls." Miguel took his eyes off of them "Do you ever talk to them or.." Brandy looked at Miguel "oh yeah! All the time we hang out after school, make out, give each other hand jobs." Demetri said sarcastically but brandys face turned disgusted. "Eli here is the homecoming king. Gets laid more than anyone isnt that right, Eli?"

Eli laughed softly before Demetris gaze turned to brandy. "Cant forget about a brandy she can get with anyone she wants and makes out with them 24/7" Demetri said as a joke because he knew she hadn't had her first kiss yet.

"Talk to them? You realize what table youre sitting at, right? Youve pretty much signed away all hopes of losing your virginity before college." Brandy rolled her eyes at Demetri.

"Oh shit, Yasmine's looking at us" Eli said before they looked over "Probably just making fun of me." Miguel shook his head "I don't think Shes making fun of you. I mean, just because theyre hot doesn't mean theyre mean"

Brandy spoke up "they are demons. I mean pure evil. Just because theyre hot doesn't mean anything."

"I don't care if Yasmine is the meanest girl at school. I'd kill all three of you just to get her to spit in my face" brandy looked at Demetri in disgust

"If you don't make a move, you'll never have a shot." Miguel reasoned "True, but I'll also never suffer a humiliating rejection. I'm at peace with my depression. Last thing I need to be is suicidal" Demetri quickly said back.

Miguel stood up confusing brandy "what are you doing." Miguel looked at them "striking first" brandy looked over at Sam and Miguel making eye contact and turned back. "Fuck." She cursed slightly

"And that's your boy?" Eli questioned "no- I just met him- I dont like him!!" Eli laughed at her frustration. Before Miguel came back sitting down defeated.

"Sam huh?." Brandy muttered before eating the rest of her lunch. She couldn't bring herself to admit it every boy she liked fell in love with a polar opposite of her who she literally just met. She was jealous.
