Love & Ride

Chapter 2

- "Okay, is it just me or everybody's been talking about this guy for a week now?" Isobel says while we're walking in the school hallways.

'this guy' is the guy I saw in the parking lot on the first day. And ever since he appeared, the whole school, well... all the girls, have been talking about him coming to our school the next week, ie today.

Apparently his name is Tyler Hanson, and he's one year older than us, a professional motorcycle rider, a big bad boy.

- "You should've seen how everybody was looking at him last week, it felt like having Zac Efron in our school premises."

- "I have to see him before judging, you didn't tell us much about him." Cooper says.

- "That's because I didn't notice much. And anyway, if you ask any girl you find on your way she'll give you a perfect report on his whole life."

- "Do you think he'll be on the football team?" Isobel asks.

- "My guess is he doesn't need that, the guy is not even here and he's already..." Cooper starts saying.

- "What?"

- "I think he's here."

It's true because suddenly, all the students head to the front door. Isobel and Cooper start following them but I stop them.

- "Don't tell me you're actually thinking about going to see him!" I tell them.

- "Hell yeah we are!" Cooper says then leaves with Isobel.

I take a deep breath and decide to head to the library. I find Jake on my way so I change my plans.

- "Hey Jake!"

- "Skyla Ryans, you're literally the only girl who's not waiting for the new guys."

- "Guys? I thought there was only one new guy."

- "They're talking about one, but when they see the others they'll definitely talk about them too, it's the same type."

- "Well, you have me on your team." I say and he laughs.

- "What's your first class?" he asks.

- "Maths and you?"

- "History, we have a very sexy teacher."

- "You have all your chances with her" I say before laughing.

I've never been a big fan of sports, not that I hate them, I just don't really pay attention in PE. For example, now, we're running in our sports uniforms, what's so fun about that? I'm already tired so I decide to ask for a bathroom break.

I'm about to enter the girl's room when the boy's door opens and of course, the one and only Tyler Hanson gets out. He looks at me, from head to toe then stares straight into my eyes.

For a moment, I freeze, he is so intimidating. But it only takes a second. I look away then open the door and get in. I wash my face and wait a couple of minutes to make sure that he's gone then go back to my class.

I meet Isobel and Cooper for lunch and tell them about what happened with Tyler earlier. Right now he's sitting with his friends, and all the girls are staring at them.

- "Maybe he likes you" Isobel suddenly says.

- "Did you seriously just say that?" I ask her

- "I'm joking! What happened to your sense of humour?"

- "He's a fuck boy! Nothing's funny about it."

- "Oh my God! You're actually into him!"

- "What are you saying? Cooper! help me!"
