Fatal Attraction

2

The day continued like normal, people were gossiping, girls were throwing bitch fits, and me? Well I was about ready to punch someone! There is a point in your life when you consider quitting school and becoming a stripper, and at this moment I had never considered it more.

My friends and I walked to the cafeteria just talking about what we normally talk about, anything. When we opened the door it was a sight to see. Our school is not stereotypical at all, the "nerds" are best friends with the "populars", the "skater dudes" hang out with the "band geeks", and basically everyone just sits where they want. But there is one unspoken rule of any school cafeteria.

At the begining of the year, when you sit down, you claim that seat. There is no moving or anything like that, if you move without a good reason that's basically like the United Kingdom declaring war on Russia. Well that's a little of an odd comparison but you get what I mean, just don't do it. When I put my books down and go back to line to get my food I feel eyes on me the whole way.

I block out Camryn and Bella and look around to see if anyone is looking at me. After getting about half way through the room I locked eyes with dazzling forest green ones that seemed to shine. I registered that it was Ryder who was staring. It was strange because when we first met eyes I felt the strange tingles like when I "accidentally" bumped into him earlier. 

I looked away when I felt someone push me forwards in line.  And the person no matter what should have known not to push me because everyone and I truthfully mean everyone in this school knows that I am naturally just clumsy so instead of gaining my footing and just stepping forward, I fall straight onto my face.  I hear the person behind me gasp as I'm falling and then I hit the ground. It hurts yes but not that bad, truthfully I think I've become immune to pain like that.

If I were a normal person I would probably just get up and tell the person who pushed me that it's okay and "seriously I'm not hurt I promise" but I'm not, a normal person that is. So here I am laying on the cafeteria floor laughing my ass off about falling, I seriously do need help.

I was about to get up and comfort the guy behind me but all of a sudden I heard a low growl from somewhere in the cafeteria. Then the strangest thing happened, in a blink of an eye the boy behind me was pushed up against the wall, and Ryder holding him there. I took a better look at the kid that pushed me and realized that it was Jeremy a boy in math class.

"Ryder! What are you doing? Put him down!" I slightly yelled. "No" he growled out, like a literal growl. I slowly walked up to him and gently placed my hand on his shoulder. "Ryder" I said softly "put him down". He looked over at me and slowly let him down. It was a very weird experience because I didn't know i knew how to calm him down.

He still hadn't stopped staring at me and we hadn't broken eye contact yet. It was a few more seconds before he looked away first and looked down at Jeremy who was still on the ground trying to catch his breath. "Apologize" was all Ryder said. "Sorry Morgan" Jeremy said quietly. He looked up at Ryder and waited for him to nod his head before he got up and scurried off. "What the hell was that about Ryder? It was a complete accident and besides he didn't even push me hard it was mostly my fault!"

He stared at me for a good few seconds looking like he wanted to say something before slightly growling and mumbling something under his breath then stalking off. I stared at his back as he exited the cafeteria in a huff. I saw that the cafeteria was still staring at me and said "Okay nothing special here go back to your lunch"

I walked up in line and got my lunch finally. I walked back to my table but on the way I saw people staring at me from the corner of my eye. I sat down and started eating my lunch but looked up once I felt eyes on me. "What the hell was that!?" Camryn screeched. "If I had the answer to that then I would be rich and famous for also finding the cure to cancer"
