castle build with lies

chapter 9 - Who ?

I looked outside the cafeteria window , the sky is getting way too cloudy there's no sign of sunlight anywhere. The day feels evenly gloomy for some reason. I can't focus on my classes nor on the lunch right now. The food feels so bad.

Chris, the new and only friend in the school right is sitting right in front of me . I don't think he feels that day is so gloomy. He is eating like he hasn't eaten in days.  Damn that boy must be hungry I thought to myself.

"Hey aren't you gonna eat? The food is getting cold and lunch is almost over too" Chris said finally looking up from his plate.

"Nope... Not really hungry, I had a heavy breakfast" I lied to him .

"Oh okay...by the way did eric bother you in any class today that I wasn't in?"

"No . He seemed to forget it already i think."

"Well that's a surprise" Chris chuckled to himself.

"Why were you expecting him to come and fight me again?" I looked at him with questioning face.

Chris seemed to think something and he shook his head like he was trying to dismiss something from his thoughts. He finally spoke .
"Kinda but I guess Ivan one sentence scared the shit out him!" Chris joked.

I remembered to myself that Chris called the boy who stopped eric Ivan. But I really didn't notice much about him though without his appearance. I guess I was too shocked to notice anything around me that time. I curiosity got the best of me and I asked Chris about the mystery guy that I just knew the name of.

"Who is this Ivan anyway?" I said raising my eyebrows on curiosity.

"I guess you should know about him and his group as you will be going in this school for 2 years or 1"

Chris again started thinking something. Probably trying to think from where to start. By him saying that 'Ivan and his group' means that group is pretty big.  Chris finally started explaining .

"Ivan's full name is Ivan Wilson. The only son of Petersian Wilson and michella Wilson. They run a big business. What business? I don't know so don't ask. And as I said they run a big business so you can tell i think that he is like crazy rich. He is our school's basketball team captain and played in national level twice. He has kinda cold or you can say calm demeanor. Doesn't like to talk much nor like to socialize. Girls go crazy over him and bro doesn't give a fuck."

I looked at chris just talking about this Ivan for 2 minute that got me questioning why is this rich guy even at a normal public school. He can afford a big private school like its nothing.
"Hey Chris do you like him or what ? You know so much about him" I laughed at him . But he seemed disgusted even hearing about liking someone.

"Liking someone romantically isn't my kinda thing bro! Don't ever think that even. So you wanna hear the rest? Or thats it? "

"Yea yea go on. Don't be angry my brother" I grinned at him.

"Then there is Elora. She is pretty rich too but not rich as Ivan. She is also Ivan sorta best friend I think. She is very sweet and lovely girl actually. I sometimes don't get why she hangs out Ivan's group."
Chris stopped and started again .
"Another one is Eric. The one who was going to punch you today morning. He is just a stupid asshole with anger issue. His girlfriend is Denise also in Ivan's group. She is the nepo baby of the school you can say who loves her Instagram followers and she is also a bitch. Loves making people suffer. There's jace , also a bully. I don't know much about him except that he plays basketball. There's aiden also a bully Plays basketball. There's Melissa , kind of a bitch . Loves to go around and make fun of female students"

Chris finally stopped and seemed like he was finished. He got a smile on his face like he was proud that he knew so much .

"So how many were there Elora , Eric , jace , Denise , Aiden and Melissa." I said remember every name that Chris just dropped.

"Yea that's all. Also just be careful of them . They are like a big bunch of bully. Although Ivan and Elora doesn't bully anyone or you can say I didn't see. But they are all in the same group so it's better to stay away from all of them."

I nodded in acknowledgement. Because by what happened today morning, i already got my lesson to stay away. Chris and I talked a little more about simple stuff. Like what we are doing after school , what sports I want to play and other random stuff.

After another 10 minutes the bell rang and we didn't really have any class together today so we said bye to each other and went back to our class.  But we promised to meet each other outside school today after school ends.

I was feeling every good after having a good amount of talking with someone. Not communicating with many people past years made me extremely nervous about everything. But i knew i will eventually need to move on and work with my anxiety and stuff.

I suddenly felt that the day wasn't feeling so gloomy anymore . The sun is appearing on the sky again.
