Chapter 19|' He's keying Ms. Lance's car'|

  As soon as I got to school, I knew something was wrong. Maybe it was the way people would look at me and then whisper to their friends or how I could hear snippets of, "-Ryder Mitchell-" and

"-quarterback-".

  Something wasn't right.

  Mitchell came up beside me. "Why is everyone staring?" Looking around, he added, "More than usual."

  I shrugged, trying to look nonchalant, but I was secretly scared. Yes, the Ryder Holloway was scared of some attention. Wouldn't you be if half the school looked like you killed their dog?

  Taylor came up from behind us, towing a reluctant Vinny and Parker. "Woah." They said in unison, after seeing what was happening.

  Vinny looked at me. "What'd you do now?"

  I huffed, rolling my eyes. "Why do you always assume I always did something?"

  "Because you usually do." Parker and Taylor chimed simultaneously.

  "Shut up," Mitchell scowled. "All of you."

  I went to retort when Sadie and Roman came bombarding down the hall.

  "Everyone hates you." Sadie blurted when she was close enough.

  "Me?" I asked, glancing at all the students glaring my way. "Why me?"

  "Because you're the reason Ryder is Montgomery High's newest Quarterback." Roman said, out of breath. "Ry, I've been talking to some of the players. There's only a few that believe that he can actually lead us to victory, while the rest of the team-" He stopped, turning around to look at the school. "-and town believe that he's just a pretty face with no talent whatsoever besides bashing people's faces in."

  "I heard some of the teachers too," Sadie jumped in. "They don't think we'll even stand a chance next weekend."

  Roman interrupted what Sadie was going to say next. "Keep in mind that no one else besides Coach has seen the video you recorded. He wants everyone to underestimate Ryder... for some weird reason."

  "Hold up," Parker said, raising a hand. "Where even is Ryder?"

  Roman grimaced. "He's keying Ms. Lance's car."

  I groaned, throwing my head back. "Why is he keying her car?"

  Sadie smirked. "She was the only teacher with enough balls to tell him that he is a no talented man whore with the GPA of a peanut."

  Parker cocked his head to the side thoughtfully. "Good for her. Not so much for her car though."

  "Which lot is he in?" I asked them, handing my stuff to Sadie who took it silently.

  "Lot B." Roman said and I nodded, making my way to the doors. Since Lot B was next to the lot we parked in, I just needed to walk about twenty yards.

  As I was by the door, Roman called to me. "Oh, and Ryder?" I turned to look over my shoulder. "He's with Kaiden and Sean."

  Damn.

A/N:
