The boy next door

Chapter 5- OMG are you the new girl?

Emma

We pull up to the front doors of the school as Ryder pulls the car to a quick stop which makes me jump in my skin. The journey here was complete silence. Besides the radio and the hum of the car there was nothing. So I just sat staring out into my new town trying to gather as much as I can about it.  

'Meet me here after school, ok?' Ryder says

I nod my head in agreement and open the door to get out of the musky smelling car. I see that he does he exact same and clicks the key to lock it. I turn around to face the school to see a hundred faces staring at me. Some look shocked while others are just simply curious and I begin to freeze. I turn around and look at the floor hoping they would all just stop it and get on with there day, and thankfully they did.

I feel a hand grip my arm and a strong force pulls me around till I meet eye to eye with Ryder, his eyes burning holes though my small ones.

'see you later pumpkin' he softly says before letting go and walking off though the double doors.

My heart is still racing but I think I'm ok and I do the same thing and slowly make my way into the school. 

The corridors echo with shouting and whispers from everyone around, Most of them looking at me so I hold my head low and make my way to my locker. Once I arrive I lean my head back against it to get my breathe back. 

School is always a struggle for me, and ive not had the best past within schools ether. I dont know why they all do it to me. I just need to breathe. 

I open my locker and throw some stuff I dont need till later and slam it shut before the bell rings.

'shit' I mumble.

I run to my first class preying Im not late. 

1 hour later

'I advice that you all do the reading over the next week for the upcoming pop quiz, but like I always say, reading is a source of nature..and NEVER abuse nature.' I giggle as I sit up in my chair to collect my things. Even though this is the first lesson in the school, I feel like Mrs daisy is my favourite. Not only is she the English teacher but shes super nice and relaxed, so this lesson will be fine, oh and not to mention I sit at the back next to the window!

I throw my books in my backpack and walk to leave the room.

'Emma?' Mrs calls. I turn my figure to come to hers as she stands and comes towards me. My hands begin to shake but I tell myself its alright.

'I can already feel you are very bright miss Jenkins. Are you a writer?' Her soft words give me such relief and I give her a warm small smile.

'I write, but its personal at the moment. I'm trying to adventure out into more creative writing though' I say. 

'well I can tell its your passion and you are very talented young lady' mrs says as she flings her arms up.

'my gosh you better run to lunch!' she screams as the bell rings over her voice.

I giggle under my breath and turn to walk out but I feel a soft hand on my arm pulling me around.

'If you ever need a quiet space, anywhere, anytime, my door is always open'

A relief bursts inside me and I respond with a warm smile 'Thank you, and I sure will'

We exchange smiles before I head out the door to make my way to the cafeteria.

I make my way down the hall till BANG!

I open my eyes to just see the floor. My head is killing me, rattling in my skull. I squeeze my eyes shut hoping this is all just a dream and that Im ok and just having a daydream after my talk with mrs, the kind warm convocation. But as I open them I see a blonde haired girl, blue eyes looking straight at me. Shes wearing a sickening, wicked smile across her face as I get up and regain my balance. 

I turn to see dozens of people staring at me, laughing and giggling. My heart picks up pace so fast im scared it will pop out my chest, and my head is spinning. My knees wobble as the girl steps forward, her sickly sweet send wrapping around me.

'OMG are you the new girl?!' she laughs looking me up and down. I shake more and more, trapped in a huddle of people. 

'hello? Do you even talk?!' she says giggling to her friends behind her all wearing expensive clothes.

She analyses my body like some sort of scanner.

'huh, seems like the lights are on but nobodys home.' A hand comes into my eye sight waving back and forth and I just shiver, Tears beginning to roll down my flushed cheeks.

'awww look the new rat is crying' I drop to my knees, My legs unable to hold me up anymore. Im too weak. I want to go home. I want to go. 

I look up out of my blurry eyes to see a tall figure pushing his way though the crowds, but I cant make out who it is, everything is too fuzzy. All I hear is laughter of everyone ringing in my ears creating more tears. I feel a kick on my back which tumbles me over, pain shooting up my spine a million miles per hour. I shreak in pain and sob and sob. My eyes begin to go weak and they flutter close to the laughter as I can just see the girls walking away. I whimper and close my eyes.

Moments pass before I feel arms wrapping around me and picking me off the floor. Strong, big arm. Im too scared to open my eyes so I keep them shut and flinch in pain from my back. 

'Its all going to be ok' a low husky voice whispers. I recognise the voice and open my eyes to see Ryder face all tense and full of worry. I stare up at his face, and he stares back at me, his grip around me tightening. He opens a door and the cold autumn breeze hits me hard, making me shiver and go light headed. My head bangs in pain so I deside to close my eyes again and luckily i did because I hear the same giggling girl, the one who did this to me. We must be walking past them. I open my eyes but not to see her but to look up to Ryder who is giving a cold scare at her.

'shut the fuck up chloe!' he shouts.

His eyes are a dark green, almost black but as we walk past her and get to the car he looks down at me and they slowly become lighter. He opens the door and gentility places me in the car, closes the door and runs around to get in the drivers seat. 

I sit up slowly trying to create as little pain as possible. 

'why me' I whisper
