Chapter 1 - I Will Ruin You

~Emma's POV~

As I make my way to the lunch area, already knowing that I'm going to sit at the corner table right next to the trashcan, all eyes are on me. And I'm not being some conceded bitch or anything, I'm literally not even shitting you. All eyes are staring directly at me. Some are laughing, others are whispering and pointing at me, while I don't even want to know what the rest are doing.

I continue to walk, not even sparing one glance in their direction. All I do is stare at my shoes. I finally find the courage to look up, and I spot the loner table where I expect a friend to await me.

Reality check. You don't have any friends, Emma.

Brushing it off, I sit down at the disgusting school lunch table. Usually I sit at in the library and read a book, but today I decided to sit here. Bad choice.

Great, now I have to stand back up and go get lunch. What joy! I can make a fool out of myself once again!

I attempt to stand up, but the dead silence filling the room stops me.

I spin my head around to see why everyone isn't talking, and I hate what I see.

The most arrogant, cocky, self centered boys walk through the doors like they own this place.

Ryder, Jake, and Kyle.

I don't really care about them so I continue to get out of my seat, and walk to the lunch line, avoiding all the stares i'm getting from people. I know that that the three boys take their lunch entrance very seriously, so it's kind of funny that I don't give a flying fuck.

~Ryder's POV~

"Dude, I want freaking pizza! I'm starving," my best friend, Jake shouts enthusiastically as we walk to the double doors of the lunch area.

"Maybe you'd get pizza if you actually waited in line, lazy ass," I fire at the person I call one of my closest friends.

"That hurt, right here," he says while pointing dramatically at his heart.

"Yeah, yeah. Go cry. But first, we need to find Kyle so we can all go in together," I whisper yell to Jake.

What? We need to make an entrance.

"What's got your panties in a bunch?" I hear a voice coming our way.

I automatically know it's Kyle.

"This guy," Jake says while pointing a finger at me, "is definitely on his man period or something."

"Will you both just shut up! Can we just go?" I sigh.

"Yup, let's go!" Jake and Kyle say in sync.

"Oh my fucking god, Jake! That was so cool," Kyle shouts, slapping Jake on the back.

"I know right! We said it at the same time!" Jake exclaims.

And then they spend 2 more minutes trying to say random shit at the same time.

Yeah, I have weird friends.

"Hello? Can we just go?" I say, "you guys sound like a bunch of girls gossiping."

We all three push the doors open, and everything goes quiet. Dead quiet. You can even hear a pin drop.

I paste my signature smirk on my face, and put my hands in my pockets while striding to our table in the middle of the whole cafeteria.
