The Rhythm - The Song Of Life (Completed)

Prefects

Natalia just sat staring at blank space. She bundled herself in a small ball and mentally cursed herself for being dumb.

Suddenly she heard the door creak open. Who's there?, she thought

In came a handsome guy. He looked older than her, he had chestnut brown hair, green eyes, he was tall, tanned skin and a very welcoming look on his face.

He entered the room, Natalia's presence unknown due to the fact that she was at the corner of the room trying to keep herself together. He placed his bag down and took a book out of it. He must be one of those senior prefects. He started reading the book with a serious face, opposite of how he looked just now. He must be very strict.

Oh no...... If he was a prefect, then she was in grave danger. Why? Because she's not in class and also because of the ruckus she made in the hallway.

She tried to move slowly and reach for the back door, but she knew that he would catch her. So she tried to get up without making any noise and climb over the window which led Art Class. But to do that she had to be balanced on a chair because, she wasn't very tall. Luckily there was a chair nearby so she stood up a little on it and tried to climb over. But unfortunately, she made to much of noise and was already unbalanced. She was going to fall any minute and if she did, she would most likely break her neck. The chair wobbled and Natalia's leg slipped.

Natalia waited for the expected impact that she was going to feel, but it didn't come. She didn't feel any hard wooden ground or any pain. She felt like she was suspended in air by something, she felt comfortable. She opened her eyes. She saw a pair of green ones staring back at her.

The prefect guy had caught her from her doom. He slowly let her down and got up to dust himself off.

'What are you doing over her?', asked the prefect in a very stern voice

'Oh... I was just... I was just....-', she was cut off by the prefect in mid sentence

'Trying to commit suicide?'

'No! No...no....no....', that's when Natalia couldn't take it anymore and she just broke down into tears, she was so frustrated with herself for getting into so much of trouble and not knowing a way out.

'It's okay, I won't get you into trouble if you tell me what happened', he cooed. This guy must have a soft spot for his juniors

'Ok I'll tell you everything', replied Natalia trying to get herself back together

After about half an hour of explaining what had happened, Natalia found out that the guys name is Ryan, Ryan Abbot. He was senior to her by three years. Jacob's age.

'I see... so this is what happened to you', Ryan whispered

'Yeah.... I thought that everything was fine between us, he just believed in the wrong people', I whispered

'It's okay..... you don't need him anymore. You should just forget about him, it's his fault he didn't realize how lucky he was to get you in the first place', Ryan breathed

Natalia blushed, she was never this close to any other guy except for Jacob. Was Ryan trying to hit on her?

We heard the bell ring, marking that school was over. I got up with Ryan's help and he offered to walk me home.

'No it's okay, I can walk home myself', I said

'No I insist, you've been through hell today, so I guess the least I can do for you is this', he said with a kind smile.

'Uh.... okay then' I replied

'Great'
