War of words.

Knowing me

As the class ends, and we pack all of are stuff up. I notice that Ryder doesn't have a bag at all. So me being curious I can't help but ask. "Where's your stuff?" He looks up from his phone, seeming a bit surprised I asked. "I don't like having to carry around useless things." He makes it seem so easy. I mean school wise. I guess I look shocked so he continues. "I do the work, then turn it in, during class. That way I have nothing to carry around." It makes sense, It's actually pretty smart. I thought he would have just said something along the lines of 'I don't do work', but he doesn't seem like that. "Well I need to get going. I'll see you tomorrow, Ryder." I grab my bag and walk towards the door. Suddenly I feel a soft, strong hand on my right elbow. I stop dead in my tracks. I could swear on everything I felt my hairs stand around my elbow as he touched me. "Can you show me where room 207 is, please?" He sounds almost desperate to keep me in his reach. "Uh, sure. It's in the same hall as my next class." I walk out the door with him walking on my left side. I hate when people walk in that area, because I always feel defenseless with my left. And right as I finish the thought Ryder moves to my right as if I said it out loud. "So Lilith are you from here?" Seems like pretty boy want's to know me. "No, I was born in New York, but I've lived here since I could read." I tense up as I release the word's, this topic is not something I am willing to talk about. " Interesting, I obliviously just moved here from Dallas, Texas." Hm interesting indeed. I don't say anything to what he said, so I thought he would stop, but he starts to talk again. "You seem nervous. Are you okay from last night?" The last few words he says come out like a whisper. He couldn't know what happened because I told no one.

We reach his class room and his body sags with despair. "Welp, this is your room. Good luck, Mr.Stell can be a pain in the ass." I slightly giggle as I finish. "Thank you for the directions, care to join me for lunch after this?" I'm genuinely shocked because I normally sit outside by myself and  no one sits with me since i'm a 'freak'. "Um, sure I'll meet you here after class." I try my best to walk quickly down the empty hall. Suddenly from behind I hear. "I love your giggle, Lilith." Once I turn around, he is no where to be seen. 

As second period ends I walk to the end of the hall to meet Ryder. As I reach the end I notice two bimbo blondes standing beside him. I try to hide in the crowd to hear what they are saying. "Lady's please. I'm not interested at all. I'm simply waiting for my friend." Ryder spots me in the crowd and rushes for me "Ah! see my friend is here so I must go now." The girls look at each other as if it is a sin he is saying. "What? You are with her?" Both girls laugh and snort in a extremely annoying way. "If you say one more thing about her, I promise you that you will not see the morning." A loud growl comes from his mouth, as if he's claiming me in some predator way. As soon as the girl's register what just happened, they dart for the cafeteria. Never knew girl's could run so fast in heels. "Do they always talk about you like that?" My face immediately reddens and I feel heat creep up my neck. "Uh...I...No." I manage to say through my shaking jaw. "Lilith, please don't lie. I want to help." Right as he spits the words out I feel anger in my heart. I don't need anyone's pity! Nor do I need their help! I walk away in such a furry I think my ears are blowing smoke. How dare he ask me to be honest! He hasn't known me, but for three hours. I hear a distant shout, but I ignore it. All I can think about is punching something, hard. I exit the school doors, walking towards the soccer field. Again I hear more shouts, but all I do is block out the distance callings. I feel heat travel all through my body. I think I might explode. As I arrive at the field I quickly toss my bag to the ground and take off running into the unknown. Behind the field is a huge wooded area. Maybe I'll reach the river if I keep going. 

I notice something odd, I'm running with a great speed that no human could achieve. It must be an illusion. I  keep running and jumping over rocks and branches.  I hear the rushing water in the river. There's no way I can already be at the river, it's miles away. I stop as I see the beautiful river. No, It can't be. Maybe it's not as far as I thought it was. I look down at the ground to see my shoes in shreds. They are ruined, It looks like a bear was trying to eat them for dinner. 

I take the shoes off and toss them with a great force into the river, hoping  to never see them again. As I stand there, staring at the water. I hear a branch snap. I glance through the trees, attempting to identify the creature. I see a figure standing in the woods, looking at me. "Who are you! Show yourself!" I'm not afraid of him. "I know it was you in my room last night, why are you following me!?" Still no reply from the shadowy shape. Then with no warning he walks at a fast pace back into the forest. I quickly get up and run after it.
