Kade gave a wave of his hand, a motion that seemed to excuse Carter from any negativity. "Don't worry about it, man," he said with a smile. "She needs to be pushed out of her comfort zone sometimes." He cleared his throat then, his head tilting to the side. "I only met her this morning; I'm not sure what's wrong, but if I can help, I'd like to. I know what it's like to be lost like that."

In the bathroom, Pendley was carefully running her hands through her hair, working to hide the bruises and scars that lined her neck.

"Yeah, me too," Carter said wistfully. He stared into the distance for a moment. "I feel like I'm being selfish. What if, by some miracle, Pendley gets attached to me, and then..." He trailed off into a meaningful silence.

Annabelle entered the bathroom and walked right past Pendley, disappearing into a stall where she changed her bandage. When she emerged again, she washed her hands next to the blonde. "You okay?" She asked softly.

"I don't think selfish is the right word for it," Kade replied thoughtfully. "More like generous or hopeful." He ran a hand through his hair before rubbing his slightly stubbled chin with the tips of his fingers. "Being given the chance to know you - don't you think that's a beautiful thing?" He seemed to get lost in thought, his eyes distant and his jaw relaxed.

Pendley jumped at the sound of Annabelle's voice and whipped around, her hands flying to cover up what she hadn't yet concealed. "I'm fine," she said quietly yet sharply. "Really." Turning from her, she pulled her hair down to cover her neck, flushing lightly.

Carter nodded, even if Kade wasn't looking at him. "You know, man," He began, messing with his thumbs. "Pendley is really beautiful. I have a good feeling about her."

Annabelle, not stable enough to pursue the girl after being rejected so sharply, simply nodded and turned to exit the bathroom, tugging at her shirt sleeves. She jumped when she saw one of the figures blocking her exit. Its mangled body was right in the middle of the door, and as tall as it, too. It was a black, but such a deep black that it shouldn't have existed. It was like the night sky, or space itself, and there was a strange blurred effect around the edges that looked as if it was swirling. Like it was getting ready to suck her in. She was frozen in place, staring at it with her mouth hanging open slightly.

"Annabelle~" It sang in a voice she recognized, a voice she never wanted to relive, but continued to almost every day. She collapsed, hitting the floor with a frighteningly loud thud. She curled up on herself, the figure gone once her eyes were closed but she could feel it. And still, the voice ran through her head, "Annabelle, Annabelle! Just relax, I'm not going to hurt you... Just enjoy it..."

"We've got a set of beautiful ladies, my friend," Kade said with a laugh, though a small, gentle smile played on his lips. "Why don't you invite her to your place? You guys could do your homework together since our teachers seem to want to drown us in papers tonight."

Pendley flinched and turned at the thump. Alarmed by the sight of Annabelle on the floor, she scurried over, wide-eyed, unsure what to do. Only when she realized that the girl was cowering did she look around, unsure what was scaring the girl. "A..Annabelle?" she said softly, panic evident in her voice. Then, a little more boldly, she looked around, innocent face portraying something of fear and anger. "Whoever is scaring Annabelle, go away!"

His head instantly snapped up. He looked excited. "You don't think that'll make her nervous? I mean, I'd love to hang out with her after school. Being alone with her sounds, well..." He blushed. "It'd be nice. I mean, I want to talk to her more and stuff. I just..." He flushed. "I'll do it, dude. Yeah. Right on."

Annabelle couldn't hear Pendley, or sense her presence. The voices got louder, like someone was shouting in her ear, and then stopped completely. She laid there, dazed for a moment. Her throat felt sore. Her arms felt sore. Why... why did it leave? It never just left like that.

Kade grinned at Carter's innocence, but he didn't push the topic. "Don't worry if she says no the first time, either," he added, leaning on his elbows. "I feel like girls turn me down before they realize I'm worth a shot."

Surprise and alarm set Pendley's lungs racing. She took a step back, uncomfortable that she'd spoken in such a way; at home, she'd never get away with such a thing. Shaking lightly, she crouched down beside Annabelle, placing a hand on her arm and giving her a light shake. "You okay?" The girl was so pretty up close it almost embarrassed her to be so close. She shifted slightly, unsure with her closeness.

"Really? And how many girlfriends have you had?" He asked, genuinely curious.

"I'm fine..." Annabelle's voice was hoarse. She pulled herself up, hair a mess. "Um. Thanks. You helped a lot more than you realize." What was it? When she was with Kade, and now Pendley, they didn't bother her. They bothered her any other time, regardless of who she was with.

"Ah, that's a difficult question," Kade replied, rubbing his neck. "If you mean actual girlfriends, three. If you mean girls who have played with my heart, more than three." He gave a little laugh, realizing how lame the words sounded once out in the air. "Let's just say that I'm not someone who takes love lightly."

"You're welcome," Pendley replied, though it was more of a question than a reply in her book. What just happened? Deciding to leave the incident to itself, she reached up, smoothed Annabelle's hair, and took a step back. "Still hungry?" she asked, eyes focusing on the lunchroom down the hall.

"I'm not either," He replied, suddenly getting awkward, as if embarrassed. He shuffled a little nervously. "I've... never had a girlfriend."

Annabelle nodded, feeling warmth rush to her cheeks. Having someone like Pendley caring for her felt like having a mom. She wasn't lying about being hungry, but she knew she wouldn't actually keep the food down.

"Really?" Kade gave Carter a warm smile. "There's nothing to be ashamed in that," he added. "Ever kissed a girl before?"

Feet shuffling slightly, Pendley led the way back towards the lunch room, glancing back every now and then to make sure Annabelle was following along alright.

"I think. Maybe once, in preschool." His brows furrowed in deep concentration. "Wait... nope, damn, that was on the chee-PENDLEY, hello!" He said, blushing, trying to look as casual as possible as he waved to the blonde.

She shuffled close by her back, like a baby duckling following its mother. She instantly felt better when she saw Kade, and she hurried ahead to sit by him. This time, she left out the distance between them, so her side was against his. He felt so warm, even through his clothes. It felt so comforting.

Kade almost spewed his gulp of coke at the sight of Carter's face when Pendley walked back into the room. The boy was surprisingly innocent, especially for his age. Kade almost felt a sense of protection for the boy, hoping for him to succeed in his chase for love. His attention was drawn away, however, as Annabelle sat snuggly up against him. It was his turn to blush, his cheeks filling with color. "Feeling better?" he asked, producing a false cough in order to cover his cheeks as the color dissipated.

"Hi," Pendley said shortly, her cheeks pink. Noticing how Annabelle sat so close to Kade, she decided to follow suit, though she still placed a few inches between her and Carter.

"Yeah," She said, smiling a little. She unwrapped more of her lunch, taking bigger bites than usual. Being happy made her actually want to eat! Despite what would come soon after, she was going to satisfy her hunger for at least a little while, which was more than she usually accomplished.

Carter tried to casually cover his mouth with his hand, Ugh, do guys do this? Does it look cool?, in an effort to hide his enormously dorky grin from the blonde. Just having her sit closer to him made his insides flutter. "Hi," he said softly.

"Good," Kade said lightly. Oh my god. She was so adorable. Evidentally, the drip to the bathroom with Pendley had been a success. He liked the happy glow she had about her - it was much better than how she'd been that morning.

Carter was behaving different - not that Pendley was complaining. She blushed and looked back down at what was left of the food that Annabelle shared. "How much longer is lunch?" she asked quietly.

The bell rang as soon as Pendley asked the question. "You can eat that during class, if you'd like," Carter said with a wink.

When the bell rang, and to her own surprise, Annabelle stuffed the rest of what she was eating in her mouth. Her cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk. She was probably hungrier than she'd even realized.

"Maybe I will," Pendley replied quietly with a small smile and collected the rest in her hands as she stood.

Kade gave a laugh at Annabelle's chipmunk cheeks. "You're adorable, you know that?" he said with another laugh.

(shall we skip to the end of the school day soon?)

(yess!)

Annabelle's inflated cheeks turned pink, and she chewed and swallowed quickly.

[TIMESKIP!]

Carter had been pondering his entire last hour how he was possibly going to invite Pendley over without sounding like a creep. Truth is, he was full-frontal flipping out. He was tapping his pen and foot all throughout class, much to the dismay of his peers and teacher who chastised him, though he found himself doing it only a few moments afterwards. When the bell rang, he very nearly knocked his desk over.

The rest of the day went by without much of a struggle, though teachers were handing out early assignments left and right. Pendley found her bookbag filled with binders and papers by the end of the last period of school. The bell rang and everyone clambered out through the door, leaving the blonde at the back of the line to get out of the classroom.

On the other side of the hallway, Kade was escaping the hordes of people with little trouble - his height and popularity seemed to make people get out of his way. His eyes fell upon Pendley as she struggled out of the class across the hall. Wading through the students towards her, he provided a shield against the streams of people.

"Looking for Carter?" he asked, leaning in closer so he could speak above the noise.

A simple nod was her response.

"I'm sure he's heading this way. Don't worry too much," he smiled and placed a comforting hand on the top of her head. "I'm going to go collect Annabelle. You stay safe, alright?" Ruffling her hair, he navigated around her and headed towards Annabelle's last class.

"Pendley!" He called, face lighting up as he found her only a minute later. He raised his hand in an effort to get her attention among the swarm of bodies. He made his way towards her, and then gave a friendly smile. He was obviously nervous about something. "So, uh... Do you have a lot of homework?" He asked awkwardly.

Her last class was on the opposite side of the building's as Kade's, sadly. She was also slow in navigating through the hallway, mostly because everyone would simply bump into her without caring.

Pendley looked up at the sound of her name, relieved to see that Carter had successfully navigated the ocean of students. Her head tilted at his question. "Yeah, a lot," she replied quietly.

Kade finally found Annabelle's dark hair in the swarm of students. Picking up his pace, he weaved through the students and finally caught up to her, his hand finding her shoulder. "Hey, sorry I'm late," he said with a huff.

"Do you wanna... um..." His hand brushed the back of his neck, his cheeks turning pink. "Do you wanna do your homework? I mean, with me. At my house. Uh..." He bit the inside of his cheek. This wasn't going well at all. "Like... wanna come over and... do.... homework....."

She smiled instantly when he came into contact with her. They had begun to return while he was gone. "You're not late," She reassured him. "Right on time."

"At your house?" Pendley repeated, a little flustered by his question. She ran a hand through her golden locks, chewing her lip in embarrassment. "I'm, um..." she paused in discomfort "not allowed to hang out with friends..." Her chest felt heavy and her heart hurt. "My dad... he's a little strict." She gave a weak smile, eyes on the ground.

Kade let out a sigh of relief. "Good," he replied wholeheartedly. "By the way, did you drive here? Or do you want a ride home? I've got nowhere to be and I'd love to give you a lift back to your place."

"Oh," He said, trying to mask his disappointment, not wanting to upset her further. "Alright then. I'll stay with you until you have to go."

"I normally walk," She said, a large smile spreading across her face. "But, um, we don't have to go to my house right away..." She trailed off. She had no idea where she was going with this, and this was so far out of her comfort zone, but she didn't want to leave him.

Pendley tugged at her sleeves habitually, becoming stressed by the situation. "Sorry," she said quietly. "Um, my dad is already here. So, um... I'll see you later." Chest aching, she turned and fled down the hallway towards the front of the building.

"Oh, okay," Kade said with a grin. "Well, we could go to the park, or to the library, or my house," he listed, searching for something that would perk her interest.
