In the cafeteria,
He and his friends walked in and sat at the table I saw them sit at yesterday.My heart beat raced and I looked away.
"Are you okay?"Kenzie asked noticing the look on my face.
"Yeah,why did you ask?"
"Nothing...I just think you're acting weird today... kind of"She said and I put on a fake smile.
"Um...can I ask you a question?"I said to her.
"Sure... anything"She replied.
"Who is he?"
"Who?"
"That guy over there"I said nodding towards his direction.She looked back and then looked at me."Oh My God...did something happen?"
"No"I lied.
"You bumped into him?"
"I said no... nothing... really...I just... well...kind of"I stammered and she gasped.
"You just got yourself into a big mess"She exclaimed quietly.
"What do you mean?"
"That's Ryan Kayden for goodness sake"
"Oh...I don't even know his name...and to make things worse... he's my neighbor...I just found out yesterday"I said feeling s frustrated.
"What!"Kenzie screamed and everyone stared at us.
I'm not alive... someone bury me.
"Really,Kenzie.. that's not cool"I whispered to her.
Soon enough, everyone forgot about us and went back to what they were doing.
"Sorry...my bad"She said."But really, he's your neighbor?"She asked and I nodded.
He's such a psycho.
"He's standing up"Kenzie said tapping the table.
"Who?"I asked.
"Ryan"She answered."Oh God... he's walking towards our table"She said.
No.
"Who?"I asked wanting to be sure.
"Ryan"She replied.
No.No.
"He's walking towards our table,Lisa"
"Quickly,act as if I just said something funny"I said and we both started to laugh unnecessarily.
"Sorry to interrupt"He said and I hit my head.
"I need to talk to your friend"He said to Kenzie and she looked at me.
I shook my head and she looked at him."Um...sure"
Kenzie, what did you just do?How could you do this to me...I don't-
Wait,why am I talking to myself...she can't even hear me.
Kenzie left and the so called Ryan took her space.He glared at me and I looked away.
"So... you're the dum dum that bumped into me yesterday"
"I'm not a dum dum"I said glaring at him.
"I'm very sure you are...and I suggest you see an optician...just a piece of advice"
"Are you saying I'm blind...that I can't see?"
"Actually...yes ... that's exactly what I'm trying to say"
"Just leave me alone"
"Not until my mission is complete"
"What mission?"
"Not until I take my revenge"He said and winked at me."I'll frustrate your life, baby...just watch and see"He said and snatched my taco.He took a bite, dropped it and walked away leaving me so dumbfounded and confused.
I kept on staring at my taco as I couldn't say a word.
I had already lost my appetite.

"He was probably just joking...he can't be so serious"Kenzie said.
"You shouldn't have left"I said with a frown.
"I'm so sorry"
"It's okay... I'll be fine"I assured.
I hope.

In chemistry class,
"Everyone, open your textbooks to page twelve and work on the exercises given..............actually, since today's a good day... that's your assignment...to be submitted first thing tomorrow morning"
"Yes,sir"We all said in unison.
"Hey"Said the guy beside me.I looked sideways and noticed the smile on his face.
"Hi"I replied smiling back.
"I'm Kyle Winter... what's your name?"
"Lisa...Lisa Renée"
"You're Kenzie Riley's friend, right?"
"Oh... you even know my best friend"I said.
"Yeah... everyone knows Kenzie...crazy... funny, friendly and kind"
"Yeah"I said with a nod.
"How's high school life going?"
"Not so great"I shrugged.
"Any problem?"He asked.
"No... it's just that someone has been getting on my nerves"
"Who?"He asked.
"No one special"I responded not wanting to tell him about Ryan.
"I understand"He said and I smiled.
He's really sensible unlike the stupid Ryan.
I didn't say anything.
