Cecelia

This day is draining me already and it's only mid-day. In every class I went to Jacob was there and this brought up my next question... Is he purposely following me? After my attempt to be polite and friendly, I'm just so over being in his space. The stares through his shades make me feel uncomfortable, his weird vibes and moody attitude are extremely hard and darning to be around. In every class, he consistently isolated himself towards the back of the room and never made an effort to converse with anyone else besides occasionally Rayan.

"Hey," Ray said catching my attention away from Jacob. I then realized I was once again watching him from across the room where Ray and I were sitting in our Physics class. 

 "Oh, yeah?" I questioned looking at Ray now "What's up?"

He sat back in his chair "Stop watching him; it's beyond creepy, Ce." 

"Oh, I'm the creepy one?" I asked, "Not, the person sitting in the back of his classes with shades on 24/7?" 

He cocked his head to the side slightly "He's just being himself. You know just acting like 'dick'." he shrugged "Just using your words"

"I don't understand Ray. He talks to you and even Ally occasionally s-" I was cut off by Ray laughing "What?"

"Jacob and Ally argue...like all the time" he laughs "They aren't exchanging pleasantries, Ce." he sat back up and propped his head on the table with his hand. 

"Oh wow didn't know that...but okay so he's just pleasant with you?" I raised an eyebrow

"Eh, not all the time" He shrugged slightly "But, I've learned to get used to it...I've known him for a very long time"  he smiled a little "He's just been a-" He was cut off by the bell ringing signaling the end of the class.

I stood up gathering my belongings "A 'loner'," I said finishing his sentence for him as he stood from his seat ready to leave. Out of my peripheral vision, I could see Jacob had just walked out of the classroom "I have heard this story before" I said and walked out with Ray in tow.  

"Can't help who he is, Ce" Ray shrugged from beside me as we walked down the hallway to my locker for me to put away my stuff before heading to lunch to join Ally.

"I understand that Ray, but Jacob acts like I personally did something to him." I said rolling my eyes "It makes me feel like shit." I said stopping at my locker and opening it "And I know I didn't do anything for him to put out that energy to me." 

I began stuffing my belongings that I no longer needed and Ray sighed and leaned his back against the adjacent lockers. "You are right, Ce. You don't deserve that energy."

I nodded to him "Thank you, now can you get your creepy and dark friend to change that"

Ray laughed, "Dark? Ce, do you hear yourself?" some girls passed by and greeted before he continued to respond to me. "He is not gothic or something, Ce." Some more girls passed by and greeted him again.

I closed my locker and watched as this second small group of girls passed by. I turned to Ray smirking "Look at all this attention your getting, Ray...I think Ally would love thisss" I dragged out continuing to smirk 

He slightly rolled his eyes "All I said was 'hey'," he pushed off the lockers and we began to walk to the lunchroom "Besides, they are freshmen looking for attention, they don't know Ally yet to know I'm unavailable but they will learn quickly. You know how our girl is" he laughed 

"Oh, I know" I laughed "But, back to what we were saying before..." I began saying and Rayan sighed and stopped us.

He held my attention by turning me to face him "Ce, please understand this. You're better off not knowing him." He said seriously "Let this conversation die and stay clear from him."

I cocked an eyebrow "Instead of your checking your friend, your solution is to tell me to stay away from him?"

"Yeah pretty much." He said with a straight face

"Oh gosh Rayan, you're acting like he's dangerous or something." I scoffed playfully and started to walk away.

He grabbed my arm roughly and pulled me back. "Cecelia, I'm being serious. Leave. Him. Alone. For once don't be hardheaded and listen to my advice, you don't need to know him."

I attempted to pull my arm away but it didn't work "Ray, you're hurting me now. Let me go." I said sternly. I've never experienced this type of reaction from him before, actually, I would never think he had this level of force in him. I looked at his face and saw his eyes had gone from dark brown to black while his grip tightened. "Rayan. Ok, I heard you now let me go!" I screamed at him and it seemed to snap him out of his zoned-out state.

His eyes flickered down to his hand gripping my arm and it seemed to have clicked that he was hurting me. He then released me and I saw his eyes revert back to normal. What the fuck was that? What is going on with him? "I-I'm sorry... Ce. I-I didn't mean to do that." He stepped back slightly. 

"Ray, what the fuck?" I said examining my arm "Why would you do that?"

"Ce, I-I really didn't mean to..." he said quietly looking down at his hands "It was an accident..." 

I shook my head "With the shit you just pulled I should stay from you." He stepped back towards me and I stepped back further "Jacob never touched me but yet you are warning me about him." 

"Ce...please." he said softly pleading for me not to be upset. I didn't answer him, I just stepped backward and turned around to continue down the hall toward the lunchroom.  

Welcome to Senior Year Cecelia.
