DINNER.

My mum insisted that Ryder must stay for dinner. 

It was a very awkward dinner. 

I sat between my mum and Breena. Wyatt sat beside Ryder, who sat opposite me. 

We ate in silence, other than the occasional praises for my mum's food. 

My mum felt the need to break the awkward silence. So, she said " So, Ryder" Ryder looked up, suprprised. "Tell us about yourself" She smiled encouragingly at Ryder. "Ooh! Kherrington told me you're the new kid in her school..What made you come to Kherrington's school?" 

"Mum, technicly, it's not MY school .. It's - ", I started.

"Oh shoosh, Kherri..", she said ,waving her hand to silence me. She really was keen to know about Ryder. Don't tell me MUM likes RYDER too !! 

Ryder avoided eye contact with me and said, "Well, my little sister needed a proper place to stay. She has breathing problems ,you see so mum and dad decided to move to a calmer neighbourhood. We lived in a very busy city before this and the surrounding effected my sister badly." 

My mouth fell open. I didn't know what to say. I wouldn't have guessed that's Ryder's reason for moving here.

"Close your mouth, sweetie. Don't try to catch flies.", mum told me. Ryder snickered and Wyatt said " You'll be the 'Kherri Fly Trap.. haha" 

I narrowed my eyes at him. "Very funny, Wyatt."

Then I continued eating in silence. 

Ryder stole a few glances at me when I wasn't looking. 

Breena said he looked at me very often during dinner. She said that Ryder might have a 'thing' for me. As if ! There are many other prettier girls trailing after him in school. Do you think, of all the girls in the school, he's choose me? I doubt it. That's why I wouldn't want to hope too high in case my hopes end up crashing down.
