Rescue me Chapter 2

~Annie's pov~

Ahh, same school, different year. Lauri Hudson got a boob job for her sixteenth birthday, but other than that, everyone looks exactly the same. I pushed my way through the crowds of hugging girls and shouting guys.
"Hey Annie! I heard your mother sent you to a priest becaue you're a f**." Lauri yelled as i pushes passed her. Her little group of clones laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world, before she told them to shut up. God, if they wanted to go through life without using their brains, couldn't they have atleast picked someone smart?
When i found my first class, English, that creepy football player was sitting on his desk talking to Graig Micheals. *Barf* he looked over at me, the same way he had on the bus, and i got the sudden urge to scream "rape!"
twenty minutes, twenty preppy girls wearing too much make up to even think that there might actully be a face under it all. the reading was simple, and the teacher, a young, high-spirited hippie chick was already talking about our homework. A two page papper about our biggest secret.
"I know what Annie will write about." A girl next to me whispered. Yep, the same people, different year.

~Benji's pov~

Honestly, i was thrilled when i saw that Annie was in my English class. Graig and Daniel had made it very clear that i should stay away from her, but if i sneak...seriously, who could find out?
The day was, of course, boring. The best part of the day was football try-outs. By the end of the day, i was pumped and ready to show my stuff. Nothing new, the same thing they asked for last year. Running, tackling, catching, etc. Coach kept grinning at me, so i'll take that as a good sign. All was well until we got back to the locker rooms and had to shower. No stalls, just a big open room with shower heads on the walls. The guys whipped their clothes off and jumped right in, but i lingered behind, strangely uncomfortable showering with them.
"Benji, get in here!" This senior, Marcus, yelled. I shook my head and took a step back.
"Come on, we aren't going to try to play with you." he winked jokingly.
"Yeah, we aren't like Annie Lovett." another guy said. I turned quickly and left the locker room and out the building, hearing the guys call out my name behind me. When i was outside i sat on some stones to the left of the school and put my head in my hands. The light-headed feeling faded slowly as i took the fresh late summer air into my lungs. There was a strange tightening in my stomach, one that, by now, i was very familiar with.
"Why are you so ashamed?" Rob asked, for the hundredth time. he leaned against the bulk oak tree and stared with deep blue eyes that always seemed to be piercing into my soul.
"I know what i am, Robbie. Just stop it. You don't know me, you never will." He shook his blonde hair, rolled his eyes, and walked away from me. I was left alone to think about myself. i never liked thinking about that. I never liked the results.
Robbie. Where are you now? I hated his stupid know-it-all behavior. i hated him assuming he knew me, but i guess he really did. He would know just what to tell me right now to help me understand. Robbie, where are you now?
"You okay?" a female voice asked. I looked up and saw Annie kneeling beside me. She looked as if she was prepared to leave fast if i was unappreciative of her concern.
"Yes, i'm fine." I said, quickly standing up.
"Oh, yeah? So i guess this is where fine people come to cry when they're overcome wth joy?" she said, eyebrows raised. I wiped my eyes and realized i was crying. I stood there for a minute, wondering what the hell i could tell her that she might believe.
"well, um.." I guess thats the best i had for now.
