The Insiders

Leigh Evans was a complete enigma to Gerard and later on that day during lunch, he told his friends just that.
"Mfh djhomt she wgut tfe bhig vheal ish," Frank mumbled through a mouthful of cookie, spraying crumbs everywhere.
"CHEW!" Gwyn commanded, and the short brunette complied sheepishly.
"I said, I don't see what the big deal is! She's new, not to mention a year younger than most of us. Maybe she's and introverted freak like someone else I know..." Frank looked pointedly at Gerard, who shrugged.
"AW MAN!" Ray shouted from the other side of the table, his enormous 'fro quivering in indignation, "Who the FXCK stole my cupcake?"
Bob grinned devilishly and revealed the frosted treat, which he had been hiding in his lunchbox.
"Ray, this addiction is getting out of hand," he tut-tutted jokingly, "I think its time to take a little 'vacation' from the offending substance, don't you?"
"NOOOOO!" cried Ray (only half-jokingly) as Bob took aim for the trash can and fired away. The 'offending substance' zoomed through the air and missed entirely. Time seemed to slow down as the heavily frosted treat smacked into Leanne's aurburn head.
Gerard's table erupted into giggles, along with about half of the cafeteria. Leanne frowned her perfectly formed lips in disgust. The only one who didn't seem super amused was Ray.
"D-dude, you shoulda seen your face as I threw your cupcake," choked out Bob through his laughter. Ray fake pouted, but soon even he was laughing.
"HEY!" the voice cut across the cafeteria like a knife. "Who threw that cupcake at my girl, huh?" Neck veins bulging, Leanne's boyfriend, aka Darth Stupid (as he was called behind his back) marched his way into view, parting students like Moses parted the Red Sea. Bob gulped back his laughter, until it became just an amused twinkle in his eye. As he got up out of his chair to run for his life, he could see Ray snickering back in his seat.
And all thoughts of Leigh were forgotten.

During the cafeteria incedent The Forgotten Girl was no where to be found. She hated cafeterias, they were too noisy, too full of people and drama and all of their bull. Instead, she opted for the ledge by the window so she could munch on her apple and read Harry Potter in peace (hey, who said highschoolers were too old for witchcraft and wizardry?)
She had told Gerard that very opinion (the cafeteria one, not Harry Potter; that would have been weird) when he asked her to sit with him and his friends at the end of first period. He seemed confused by her denial, which really annoyed her. Oooh, look a girl who doesn't want to sit with fat-headed you, whatever shall you do?
But he also seemed... disappointed, which she wasn't sure what to make of.
Basically Gerard confused her as much as she confused Gerard.
Girls were practically killing themselves over him and his friends based on the looks and whispers they got, but they looked like they wanted none of it. They didn't seem to fit in with any group of people Leigh previously had experience with. After some thought she created a new category for them: The "In" Outsiders. Like, everyone secretly wanted to be their friend, but they were so unapproachable no one even dared to ask. Instead, they fell back on the slightly more approachable (only God knows why) "popular crowd."
Leigh sighed and shook her head. She supposed if she were ever in a group it would be the "Insiders" as she had dubbed them. Too bad she would never be in a group, nor did she care to. That was one of the main reasons why she had denied lunch with Gerard; she didn't want him thinking they were friends.
A commotion down the hallway interrupted her thoughts, much to her annoyance. A taller, bearded figure with sloppy hair zipped down the hall in a blur, with some bullet-necked moron in close persuit. Too bad it was a dead end. Leigh sighed and returned to Hogwarts, knowing exactly what would happen next; she had seen this a million times before back at her old school in PA. She had no desire to take part in, or watch what was coming next.
The Giant Wall of Muscle slammed his fist into the smaller guys jaw, and again into his nose, causing blood to drip down the front of his black shirt. Leigh got a good look at the bearded guy with a lip ring and recognized him to be a member of the Insiders. She had over heard him talking earlier that day; he seemed to have a gruff exterior and probably deserves his beating. She hummed to herself and took another bite of her apple.
***
Bob cursed himself like crazy; he had been going to this school for nearly four years now and forgot about the stupid dead end hallway.
He glanced around wildly, looking for any sign of help. Unfortunately, the hall was empty. Or so he thought, until he spotted a girl with choppy brown hair and side bangs lounging in the window ledge munching an apple, her nose buried in a book. She looked up briefly, locked eyes with him, and smirked. Then, she continued reading. Bob frowned and turned his attention back the immediate threat.
It was a lost cause. Soon, Darth Stupid backed him up into a corner and raised his fist for the final blow. Bob braced himself, prepared to die like a man, when suddenly, three-hundred pounds of bunk came crashing down revealing the short brunette smirking like an idiot.
***
Leigh didn't want to help the guy with the beard, in fact she wasn't planning on it. But when the guy's eyes locked onto her's in a final, desperate plea for help, she decided that maybe letting someone get killed while she sat back and did nothing would NOT look good on her college resume.
With a sigh of defeat she eased herself off the ledge, walked up behind the pea brain lazily (seriously this was too easy), and as he was raising his fist for the final blow, squeezed a pressure point on his shoulder.
Pea Brain dropped like a ton of bricks, revealing a shocked looking Insider whose jaw had decided to become best friends with the floor.
Leigh smirked and returned to her position on her ledge and continued to much her apple and read Harry Potter in peace.
