Chapter 2

"Hello Riley."

-

"Can I help you with something?" I asked. The boy seemed startled but he quickly recovered,"You can see me." he said. "Duh." I laughed, "Just like I can see the clock which says I have one minute to class I kinda need you to let go of me." I said while trying to loosen his grip on my arms. "You can see me." he repeated. "Yes I know, we've established that now can you let go?" I yelled. I managed to have him loosen his grip on me and I made a break for it. I made the mistake of looking back and ran into somebody else. I went to apologize only to be met with the same eyes I tried to escape from.

"How did you-"

"You should learn to be more polite Ms. Mitchell." he interrupted.

"But you-"

"You better get to class. Time is ticking." he said. I turned around and looked at the clock, I had thirty seconds to make it to calculus on time. I turned back to say something to the mysterious blonde but he was gone.

"Riley! Over here!" I heard someone call. I turned around and saw Calum at a table in the corner of the cafeteria. I slowly walked towards the table and Calum introduced me to the other people sitting down. "That's Alaina, and next to her is Travis. They've been a thing for about four months?" He questioned and Alaina nodded her head. "Next to Travis is Nathan," he said while pointing to a boy with shaggy light brown hair, like mine, and blue eyes. "Next to Nathan is Garrett," he said while motioning to the red haired boy. They all waved and said hey.

"Hi I'm Riley," I said. Nathan laughed, his bright blue eyes shimmering,"Yeah we know. Calum over here hasn't stopped talking about you." I looked over at Calum and a light blush crept into his face. "Oh Riley's so beautiful! Riley's so smart! Riley's so intriguing!" Garret said in a high pitch voice. "Hey! I don't talk like that!" Calum defended. Everyone at the table was erupting into laughter. "But he wasn't wrong about you being really pretty, your eyes are so cool!" Alaina complimented. Travis leaned forward to get a look at my eyes "Yeah they are! Are they like green or brown or gold or-" "Hazel. They're hazel." I interrupted. "They change colors though, sometimes they're more gold, sometimes more green..." "Sweet." Nathan said.

"It's nice to have another girl over here. These dorks get a bit hard to handle on my own." Alaina laughed while smacking Travis on his chest with the back of her hand.

"But you love us!" Calum said. Alaina rolled her eyes,"Whatever." She smiled at the boys and I knew she really did love them.

Alaina had long dark brown hair with chocolate brown eyes. Her skin was pale but it suited her. Travis had matching dark brown hair but he had a darker complexion, he also had matching brown eyes. You would probably think they could be siblings if you didn't know they were dating.

In the midst of Nathan telling everyone a joke, I got random chills all over my body. I looked around at my blood turned cold as I saw a figure leaning up against the wall from across the cafeteria glaring at me.

"Um. I'll be right back." I said while getting up from the table. I walked towards the door and exited the cafeteria. As I closed the door behind me, I turned around only to meet those blue eyes once again.

"Oh my gosh are you like stalking me or something?" I asked him.

"No."

"Yeah okay so you just show up everywhere I am and look at me and then scare the shit out of me for fun?"

"Yep."

"That's basically stalking." I said.

"No it's not." he replied.

"Yes it is."

"No it's not."

"Yes it- ugh you know what? Nevermind. Can you just like leave me alone? I don't even know you and you're really starting to freak me out." I said. He didn't say anything so I turned around and began to walk away.

"So you're friends with Calum?" I heard him say. I turned around to see the boy with his hands in his pockets and staring at his shoes. "Yeah, do you know him?" I asked. The boy laughed,"I know that he's gonna grow old to be a seventy year old virgin." I rolled my eyes. "Seriously though, his friends Nathan and Garrett? They both have crystal blue eyes right?" he asked. I nodded my head. "Be careful around them. You don't know half the shit they caused."

"Like what?" I asked. He opened his mouth to say something when Calum ran out the doors.

"Hey Riley are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm fine I was just talking to this guy," I said motioning to the blonde haired boy who's name was unknown to me.

"Riley there's no one there." Calum said.

"Yes there is. He's right there." I pointed to the boy once more.

"He can't see me like you can." The blue eyed boy said. "He's not like you."

"What?" I asked him.

"Riley I think you need to go to the nurse..." Calum said while gently pulling my shoulders.

"N-No, I'm fine Calum, Really." I said to him. "I think I'm just a bit dehydrated."

"C'mon, I'll buy you some water." Calum said while leading me towards the door. Before we entered the cafeteria I looked back to say something to the mysterious boy but of course, he wasn't there.
