The Lonely Hearts Club

~~Chapter 9~~. ~~Friday~~

>>>>>*-~Bridget's  POV~-*<<<<<
The day was rather boring. Until my last class. Now, my last class also was my favorite class. Digital palate. A graphic art class that we used photoshop and the cursed illustration in.
Adriana sat at the computer next to me. Before she came here I would always talk to Ryan in this class. Good thing Adriana came when she did it I would have no one to talk to.
The project that we are surreally doing has us take a classical paining and we have to turn it into whatever we want. I was assigned Starry Night. I still had no idea what I wanted to do with it. I looked at the different hues of blue and yellow used. My favorite color combination.
I had my stylus in my hand and began to sketch out some ideas. I was mindlessly doing this. Doodling hearts and faces until I realized that I had drawn a paper plane. I saw Adriana glance over at my computer
"Why did you draw that?" She asked
"I'm not sure"
I went to erase it when a saw a boy walk towards me
"Hey Bridget."
"Hey I said back.
It was Adam. I have never really spoken to him before. We were always friendly but we never really talked. He pulled up a chair and sat down so the back of the chair was facing me but he was sitting also facing me.
"So I was wondering if you would want to go out sometime, maybe go up to get ice cream or something."
I felt my face grow red. I looked over to where his friends sat. Cody, Alec and Ryan. Cody and Alex were both looking at him but Ryan's eyes were glued tot the screen. Not even glancing our way. I looked back at Adam. I had never really thought about him that way. It broke my heart and I'm sure his the same to say
"I'm really sorry, but no."
"No?" He said kind of angrily
"Yea, no I'm really sorry."
"What do you mean no?!" He raises his voice and a couple more people turned to see what was going on
"I mean no. I don't want to go out with you."
Now he's making me really not want to go out with him.
"Why not?" He asked
"Because I'm not interested in sorry"
He grabbed my wrist and I let out a little scream.
"Let go!" I said
Next thing I know he was knocked out of his chair. I looked over to see Ryan. Adam was a lot taller than Ryan and by the looks of it, a lot stronger.
"Hey!" Adam yelled
"What the fuck was that?" He said to Ryan he stood up and punched Ryan in the face. Knocking him down. Adam walked over and was about to kick him. I felt myself run over standing up in front of him.
"Don't do it Adam" I said. I looked around to see everyone in silence. Staring at us.
"Trying to save your boyfriend?" Adam said
"Definitely not my boyfriend" I replied. In the midst of all this the teacher must've called the office because the principal was walking into the classroom
"What's going on here?" He said loudly
"Nothing" Adam replied
"Nothing? Then why is he bleeding?" The principal said to Adam.
"Cuz he's a jerk"
"Your coming to the office" the principal said grabbing onto Adams arm
"Get off me!" Adam said, jerking his arm so the principal let go. Adam got his stuff together and stormed out of the room. I looked behind me to see Ryan on the floor with his nose bleeding
"Thank you" I heard Ryan say
"Shut up! I didn't do this for you." I replied coldly.
The teacher helped Ryan up and took him to the nurses office.
"Nobody move" she said to the class then left. I went back over to my seat and sat down. People started talking with each other again.
"What was that!" Adrianna said
"Nothing"
"Bridget what's going on?"
"Fine. The kid who's nose is bleeding? That's Ryan. I had a pretty big crush in Ryan. A couple days ago he texted me in the middle of the night telling me to go to his house. When I got there we laid together. Ends up. He doesn't feel that way about me. No, he likes Rachel. And you wanna know who's been leaving all those planes in my locker. It was him. Trying to apologize. He's not even man enough to say it to my face."
Adriana sat there for a second then looked back at me
"Why didn't you wanna tell me this?" She asked
"Because you're new and I didn't wanna put you in the middle of all the drama already!"
"Bridget you can always tell me if something's wrong. I don't mind. But, if you hate Ryan's guts, then why did you protect him?"
I thought for a minute.
"I don't know. Instinct maybe?"
"I dunno." Adriana said and went back to her computer.
Why did I try to protect him? I thought to myself.
Why?
