After the Fall

The New Guy (Idk)

Hmmm...that's the new guy...Ryder Parker.

"So we will be able to get to a couple more of your teachers before the Advisory period ends." Amir tells Ryder while they both walk together down the long hallway.

Ryder looks at the three girls that walks down the hallway on the opposite side, all of them looking at him with smiles and one of them going to wave at him, Ryder nodding back at them before looking back at Amir. "What the hell is Advisory?"

Amir chuckles. "So it is a forty five minute period of free time after fourth period ends. For students to either sit around, go to a teacher to help tutor or anything else, kind of like a break time thing before fifth period starts."

"Gotchu." Ryder nods in understanding.

"Okay well here is Miss Deniers class." Amir motions.

"Appreciate it." Ryder says before putting down his backpack on the floor and going to take out the paper, him going to take off his leather jacket.

Amir's eyes widen when he sees tattoos all on his right arm, Ryder going to make his way inside of the class to catch the teacher's attention, even her looking at his tattoos before grabbing the paper and going to sign, him going to leave out of the room.

"Damn it's kind of hot over here." Ryder says.

"Yeah this is the A wing it gets pretty hot over here quick." Amir says, Ryder going to put his hair up in a bun at the back of his head.

"Yeah it's burnin up." Ryder says, putting one of his backpack straps over his shoulder, him putting his leather jacket over his shoulder as well.

"You dress like you are in the military." Amir tells him with a light smile.

"Yeah get that a lot." Ryder says while walking, looking at another group of girls while they look at him. "It's just my style."

"So what brought you to Hawkins? Was it just parents moving to a random town and you were forced?" Amir tries to make conversation.

"My grandparents." Ryder mentions simply.

"Oh okay. And based on these classes you are a freshman? Like me?" Amir further questions.

"What I look to old to be a freshman?" Ryder directs at him, Amir nodding. "Yeah I'm seventeen."

"Oh...okay." Amir nods.

"Not exactly a school wizard." Ryder comments.

"Hey me neither." Amir says while putting his hands up. "I always have to get some help too, things get complicated around High School years."

"This would be my first time attendin High school though." He starts. "I dropped out durin middle school."

Amir nods while he gets quiet and purses his lips. "Well....I can assure you that you are in good hands. This is really a good school to be at, the teachers are ready and willing to help and tutoring sessions are always held after school too, plus clubs and all of that good stuff."

"Gotchu." Ryder comments, him looking at another group of girls, sending them a smile and them smiling back at him while waving.

The bell goes to ring, Amir looking up at the ceiling a little as all of the kids in the cafeteria go to get up and make their way to their classes. "Well you need any help to your class?"

"Nah imma still get these teachers I missed so I don't backtrack." Ryder responds. "I'll find my way, appreciate you."

"Sure." Amir nods, Ryder going to walk away, Amir lifting his eyebrows a little in confusion.
