RECAP:
"It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's him, not you." Rider put his arm on my shoulders. But after he did, John bumped in to us again. Literally.
"What the hell?" He screamed, grabbing the attention of half the students in the hall.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"John, this really isn't what it looks like." I said.
"Yeah, well, we'll talk at my house today." And with that he stormed off. Rider looked at me sympathetically, and I snapped him.
"I don't need your pity looks."
"I... just..." and with that, I stormed off. He followed me to acting class, and I sat there the whole class. Everyone else was celebrating the fact that it was Janie's birthday, and she brought in some of her Dad's old play books; he was a famous play writer. So while the class was acting out his plays, I sat in the seats, Rider sitting next to me.
"I-" I put my hand up to stop him.
"Don't." I said, closing my eyes.
"Whatever. I was trying to be nice, but I guess that doesn't matter to you." He got up and walked away. Great, I thought, now I've lost two guys.
"Wait, Rider come back!" I yelled to him when we got in the hall after class.
"What do you want?" he said, with his back still turned.
"I'm sorry I snapped at you. I can't lose two great, well one is great, in one day!" I said. He turned around a smile on his face.
"And I take it John isn't the great one?" he walked to me.
"Hell no." I smiled back.
"If you guys break up, which I imagine you will, we should hang out sometime. Not like a date, but as friends. I'm sure if we did hang out if you guys were still together, he'd probably rip my head off, even if he was cheating on you." He said.
"Yes, we should. And he's very possessive like that." I walked to the next class, gym.
"Where's the gym?" Rider asked.
"You have gym next?"
"Yeah, why do you?" he cocked his head to the side.
"Yeah, let me see you schedule." He handed it to me.
1st period Acting, Mr. Lawrence.
2nd period Gym, Davis, M. (Coach)
3rd period English, Mrs. Sullivan
Lunch
4th period Math, Mrs. Stevens
5th period Music, Ms. Maye

"Huh. We have the same exact schedule." I looked up at him.
