War of words.

Class

Mr.Sep starts to talk about something boring so I zone out into the universe and think of how empty it is. Then suddenly I hear people laughing and look up to see Mr.Sep staring down at me. "Do you need me to repeat the question again miss Lilith?" I shudder with pure embarrassment, my cheeks gets very hot and flushed. "Yes, sir can you please repeat it?" I say with a wobble in my voice. "How many newtons will it take to pull the load?" he says with such distaste for me. "Uh...I'm sorry, sir. I don't know..." I feel as if I might spill tears from my eyes.Then with a loud boom he says "Who can help miss Lilith answer this simple question?" That's when I hear the strangely familiar voice say "Me sir." His voice is so deep and smooth. It's almost from another world. "The answer is 16 Newtons." Is voice is calming me in a way I am not comfortable with. "Thank you Mr?" Here's my answer as to who he is. "My name is Abaddon, to make it simple, you can call me Ryder." Why does Abaddon sound so foreign, yet it sounds like home to me. Mr.Sep goes on and on about random things, but my ears perk up when I hear the word 'partners', I have no friends in here so picking partners is never easy. Sep quickly explains are upcoming project and how "important" it is. As soon as he says 'okay break' I start to panic. So i just sit in my chair waiting for no one. But what surprised me is when Ryder turned around, looking at me. As if he was expecting something from me. We stare at each other for what feels like hours, but in reality was more like a few seconds. Then I hear "Hello, would you like to be my partner?" I freeze, no one has ever asked me that, but Lola. I sit there staring down at my desk for a few seconds, as I pick my head up I see his sharp facial features. It's almost god like, but not too godly. Still a little rugged. I soon realize he's waiting for an answer so out of pure curiosity, I say "yes". 

After the class get's there partners settled, we sit in groups waiting for instructions to be handed out. Once Ryder and I have our instructions we sit in an awkward silence. Then out of no where he asks me "What's your name?" It's strange because he actually seems interested in knowing me. But it's probably all an act. I mutter out "My name is Lilith." It almost sounds like a whisper than anything. Then oddly enough he says "Hm lovely name, I've never heard of it. Does it mean anything?" He seems eager to know my answer. "It means 'storm goddess or 'nightmare monster'." His face doesn't seem shocked as I thought he would. "That's beatiful, nice to meet you Lilith." I shudder when his name comes off of his mouth. It sounds like a prayer or a song. No one has ever said my name right before, except my parents. Why does he make it seem so natural. What other secrets are you hiding. I'm curious....Ryder.
