I take the bus to school and see someone unexpected on it, Ryan!
He gets up to stand with me, "hey." I give him a smile that means, 'go away please because I don't wanna talk to you'
He doesn't seem to get the hint and just comes in closer, "hey!"
Aa
And then I remember what he did, "is it true that you beat him up?" Ryan nods, knowing immediately who 'him' is. "Yeah, and someone caught it on film, look!"
Ryan takes out his phone and opens up the video.
I watch Micah get hit repeatedly by Ryan who is clearly winning the fight. "You did that do him?" I can't help but feel a bit bad for it.
"Yeah, he...deserved it for what he did to you."I nod and take my earphones out.
"You really don't wanna talk to me, do you?"I just nod along to my music in response and smile when Ryan goes back to sit down. "Why didn't you get your car?" I sit next to him. "It's broken down, it's in the garage."
I know he's lying because I saw him and some friends in it late last night but I don't say anything else about it.
*******
We get off at the stop before school and go our separate ways, Stella is nowhere to be seen but Lukas beckons me over.
"Woah! Lukie has a girlfriend...and she's emo girl!"
I notice that I am actually wearing monochrome today so I let it pass.
"Hey, Eva!"I notice Lukas has removed his shirt and is just wearing a tight vest due to the hot weather. Man this guy has abs!
"Yo, sweetheart, the eyes are up here!" My face goes red and Lukas starts laughing, "wait. So you were actually staring at my body? Naughty, Eva!"
I hide my blush with my hair and laugh it off. Lukas wraps hid arm around my waist.Stella comes over, "Hey, babe!" She says to her boyfriend Ben who is in lukas' group of friends.
"Hey, Eva!"
She hugs me and then registers what she is seeing. "Ohmagosh, are you two dating?!"
Lukas I'd quick to remove his arm and I shake my head.
"Well you totally should!"Lukas turns into a tomato and I laugh at his expression caught off guard.
******
The Bell rings and we separate, I link arms with Stella Stella and Stella and leave with her asking questions about me and Lukas.
"What's he like?"
"When is he gonna ask you out because he totally likes you?!"
"You are so cute together, I ship Leva!"
"When are you gonna get married? Oh you're kidd would be so precious-""Woah! Kids? We're not even dating." Stella calms down and nods subtly. "Your gonna end up together anyway so..."
I elbow her in the side about we sit down for science.
*******
My phone buzzes but my teacher fails to notice, I pull it out and search my text messages.
I just agreed to come to your school for a careers speech on Thursday.
Don't hate me!
-Tom
XxxxxxxxxWhaaaaat? Thursday is in two days! My brother is coming to my school!
Great. Just great.
I'm never one to be embarrassed but this can't happen!"Stella!" I nudge my friend who is scribbling aimlessly on the front of her textbook. "Tom's back."
Her eyes light up and I expected this as I know how much she adores my brother. She's never been as close to him as me but he loves her like a sister.Him and Micah were also good friends, how to break the news that we aren't actually friends anymore?
This is gonna be a long, long day.

I think I'm gonna just keep randomly updating, I just can't stop at one chapter.
