It's Always 2 VS 1: A LeLi Fanfiction

Chapter 1

"Ryder! To the principals office! Now!" I chuckled at the teachers bright red face as he struggled to pull his pants up. I stood up and walked to the door, winking at him before I left. I heard him yelling at the class from the hall. I cannot wait to get out of this damned school. It's like some death trap. Or hell. Maybe a death trap from hell. I stepped into the principals office just as he was getting off the phone.

"Mr.Conrad, this is the 4th time this week. What could you have possibly done this time?" He sighs, grabbing the bridge of his nose and pinching it.

"Pantsed Dr.Hillman." I chuckled, running my hand through my hair. "Yo, I got a video of it. Wanna see?" I laughed, pulling my phone out of my pocket and clicking on the video.

"No Mr.Conrad, I don-" I cut him off by playing the video. I heard him trying to hold in his laugh. I put my phone back in my pocket when it finished and leaned back in the chair, pushing my bottom lip out with my tongue.

"So, we talking detention? Suspension? Oh, can I be expelled!?"

"Nope."

"Community service?"

"Not this time Ryder. You'll be shadowing our smartest student, Lisa Mantler."

"Pardon? That nerd? No way. I'll do anything else teach, but I will not follow that dweeb around!" I slammed my first on his desk, trying to sell the act. Truth be, I liked this girl. I thought she was pretty cool, and hot as fuck.

"Mr.Conrad, you do understand if you don't do this, your record is in the trash and that means you have a very slight chance of getting into college, right?"

"I don't ca-"

"Yes you do Ryder. You want to teach, am I right? Philosophy was it?" I rolled my eyes and scoffed. "I'll take that as a yes. You can't teach if you don't go to college. I'm not asking anymore, Ryder. I'm begging you at this point. Just follow her around for two weeks, and you can return to your normal classes."

"Return?"

"Yes sir, you'll be taking AP classes with her. If you fail, it will be counted as 50% of your final grade."

"Pff, whatever." I roll my eyes as the door clicks.

"Ah, hello Lisa."

"Actually, it's Lena. I just need some papers for Mrs.Masterson." She smiles at the principal, then looks down at my. I wink and make a clicking noise at her. My usual. "Oh, hey Ryder." She rolls her eyes and leaves after getting the papers. What's her problem? Another minute passes before the door clicks again.

"Lisa?"

"Uhh, y-yes sir. Am I in trouble?"

"What a nerd." I laugh, turning back to face her.

"Ryder, put a sock in it. And no Lisa, you aren't in any trouble at all. Well, perhaps this may be counted as punishment. Either way, I'm sorry. Mr.Conrad here just got his final strike and in order to be able to stay and go to college next year, he'll need to shadow you for two weeks starting tomorrow." I hear Lisa let out a long breath.

"I guess. Only 2 weeks, right?"

"Yes ma'am. He'll come home with you and be tutored after school for an hour. In the mornings, he'll come with you to your classes."

"Very well then. I'll see you tomorrow Ryder, I have to get back to physics."

"Physics?! Oh come on. Seriously?" I groan, standing up and following Lisa out. "You could cut the attitude, you know."

"Excuse me? This isn't exactly fun for me either." She groaned before speeding up. I jogged to catch up with her. "Ryder, what do you want?!" She snapped, jerking her head back to look at me.

"Damn, chill. It's someone's time of the month. I'm just heading to my class." I chuckled when she glared back at me. "I'm just joking spazzy."

"Can you not just leave me alone though!? Why do you have to annoy me constantly!? Jesus Christ!" She storms down the hallway as I stand still.

"Okay, so that stung a bit." I whispered as I stood there for a second, trying to do as she wishes and keep my distance. What's wrong with this girl? She's nothing like she was. She used to be so sweet and insecure. 3 years ago, I pranked her so hard, I mean like, full on spoiled milk over the head and food all over her pink jumper. It was January 4th. I remember because it was snowing and it was after the fact. I was in the office and she was next to me, the scent of strawberry sticking out from the reeking smell of old milk and rotten food. We both got released early and I ruined my coat. We were walking to our houses, might I mention are next to each other, and she stopped in the middle of the road and stripped from her coat, handing it to me. I shook my head no, but she still offered it. I remember exactly what she said, in the exact tone. 'Please, take it. You need it more than I do.' I smiled at the thought. Now, of course, this was before I went completely rouge. I actually cared about school back then. That was the last year I didn't act up. That was before the accident.

"Hey! Come on! Snap out of it!" I shake my head and see Lisa standing in front of me.

"You came back?"

"You count as my grade right now. I'm not getting anything less than an A. Just don't get in trouble."She rolls her eyes and drags me to my class. So much for old Lisa. She shoved me into my next class and walked down the hallway, her feet slamming loudly on the tiled floor. That stung a bit too. We used to be friends before I started to get into trouble. Then she changed as well. She became so angry and rarely spoke to me. So, I moved on and hung out with the 'troublemakers' of the school. I hated not talking with her. I really liked her then, dare I say loved her. Now I think I've moved on. As much as I can at least.

"RYDER!" The teacher shouted at me, snapping me out of whatever daze I was in.

"What the hell do you want Mr.S!?" I shouted back at him, pissed off. Woah, where did that come from though? I don't feel mad, well, now I do. But still.

"Ryder, I don't think you understand the word respect."

"Listen Kirk, can I call you that? Anyways Kirk, I don't think you understand respect. I was obviously thinking about something important, and then you came and snapped me out of it. So why don't you just go back to blabbering on about Maths and I'll go back to thinking." I smirked at him as he scolded me, gnawing on his bottom lip.

"Fine Ryder. You win." He calmly said, turning back to the board. I...win? What?

"No no no. You see, that's not how it works Kirk,"

"It's Mr.Sedt to you."

"Whatever Mr.S. Back to what I was saying, you can't just let me win. I have to annoy you." I stood up, sounding more dumbfounded than ever. He sighed and walked to the phone, then went back to teaching after hanging up. A couple minutes later, Lisa barged in, grabbing my ear and dragging me out of the classroom. I swatted her hand away when we stepped into the hallway. "What?"

"Ryder Miles Conrad! What do you think you're doing talking back to the teachers!?"

"How do you know my middle name?"

"We used to be friends, idiot!"

"Chill out Mantler, I didn't do anything."

"Then why was I called here?"

"Because the damn teacher interrupted my thinking. I was thinking about something important!" She cocked her head to the side and arched her eyebrow, looking at me with a face of curiosity.

"What were you thinking about, that was so important, you had to interrupt the whole class?"

"..."
