It Wonnt Work

I wake up after having the same dream I have for the last year. I look at the clock and it says 4:30AM. I know there is no use in trying to fall back asleep so I just get up and put on my running shorts. I leave my sports bra on but put on a light blue workout tank top. I place my hand gun in between my panties and running shorts after I put it on safety. I slide on my running shoes lacing them up and running down stairs with my phone and earphones in hand. I walk out of the front door and lock the door knowing I can use the hidden key when I come back. I put my earphones in my ears, and putting When I'm Gone by Eminem on. I blast the music and run down the street. I pump my legs as fast as they take me putting all my anger and problems into my speed. When I get a block away from my house in a grassy area I stop falling to my knees with tears falling down my face. I miss my parents and sister so much. Why did this have to happen to me? Why didn't he just kill me with them? I would rather be dead. I shake my head getting rid of those thoughts. I collect myself and stand up. I start running again and get home in 10 minutes. I quickly run up the stairs and take a quick 5 minute shower. I grab a pair of skinny jeans and a red crop top pulling them on my body. I slide on my red converse throwing my bag over my shoulder. I'm not hungry and no one else is here so I just walk out to my car. I climb in and start the drive to school.

When I get there I climb out walking to my locker with all eyes on me. When I get to my locker I open it up grabbing the things I will need when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to find Riker looking at me.

"What do you want?" I ask.

"To talk." He says bluntly.

"You talked now go." I say making a shooing motion with my hands.

" I'm good." He says.

"Your an ass." I say.

"I try." He says.

I roll my eyes just as the bell rings. I walk to first hour sitting in my seat. I listen to the lesson taking notes and answering questions.

"Okay class it is almost time for the bell to go off and I'm feeling generous today so all of you can leave early." Our teacher says.

I pack my stuff up and walk out to my next class.

It is now lunch and I am waiting in the line waiting to get my food. When I get my food I walk over to my empty table. I sit down and start eating my food. Someone sits down next to me. I look over and see none other than...

Ryker.

I growl hoping he will get a clue but all he does is hand me his water. I just look up at him with my eyebrow raised.

"Drink it you need it." He says.

I stand up throwing my food away and walking out of the cafateria.

Ryker

She stands up and leaves. Someone taps me on the shoulder. I look up and see a girl with wavy blond hair, blue eyes and pink lips.

"Can I help you?" I ask.

"Hey I am Maranda and I just wanted to tell you there is now way you will get her to hang out with you." She says.

"Why would I listen anything you say I don't even know you." I say.

"Yeah I knew you would say that. Let me refase that statement." She says. "Hey I am Maranda one of Hazels many old friends." She continues.

"Old friend?" I ask.

"Yeah about two years ago something happened and Hazel just cut all of us off and turned into a 'bad girl' " she says.

"But why?" I  ask.

"I've been trying to figure that out for a year." She says.

"Okay well thanks for the heads up but it doesn't mean I am going to give up." I say.

"You can try all you want." She says.

"I will." I say standing up.

"Just be careful whatever happened had to have been really bad and even if she doesn't talk to me doesn't mean I won't kick your ass if i find out you hurt her." Miranda says in a stern tone.

"Yes ma'am now if you don't mind I have some investagating to do." I say.

"Okay it was nice talking to you..."

"Ryker." I finish for her.

"Right well I will see you around." She says.

I walk away heading to my car. I need to find a way to get close to this girl.
