Remember, students were making comments concerning the fact that Ryan entered the cafeteria along with Dylan, and it seemed like they had become friends or something.
And they weren’t only making comments about that, they were staring at them as well…
Well, it got to a point where everything stopped all of a sudden, which got Ryan and Dylan surprised. No more comments flying around, no more awkward stares, and so on.
But the thing was that everything had resumed again.
‘Oh! Shit! Here we go again’. That was the thought that ran through Ryan’s mind the moment everything resumed.
People started staring at him awkwardly at first, then comments about him started flying around again. Some people were talking about the fact that Ryan had a friend now, which was Dylan.
And some people were talking about Ryan only…those hurtful remarks and so on.
Ryan glanced at Dylan as they were still eating, giving him the look of, ‘It has resumed again’. Dylan didn’t do anything, he only continued eating his food.
Now, the boys that sat around the same table as Ryan yesterday and were disturbing the hell out of his life were present at the cafeteria. They were sitting around a certain table that was a little far from the one Ryan was sitting at.
And you know what? They were part of the people talking trash about Ryan. They would always partake in this kind of thing ’cause they were troublemakers.
The three boys that tapped Ryan’s head with force yesterday were also present at the cafeteria. And they were part of the people talking trash about Ryan and staring at him awkwardly.
The cooks had already finished serving all the students in the cafeteria, and they’d left it as well. So it was remaining only the students in the cafeteria currently…
Though comments about him were flying around, Ryan just kept eating his food. As said, the people sitting around the same table as him and Dylan weren’t interested in these kinds of things.
They weren’t troublemakers at all, so they didn’t utter a single word about Ryan though they were hearing the hurtful remarks being made about him, they were just eating their food.
This went on for minutes, statements here and there, weird stares, people eating their food, and so on. Ryan was still eating his food when he felt someone tap his head with force.
..The thing that happened yesterday had repeated itself.
Ryan glanced at the person that tapped his head since the person was standing in front of him now, and it was one of those boys who tapped his head yesterday. The first boy who initiated it.
It could be they wanted to do it in order again just as they did it yesterday, the remaining boys could be coming behind him to tap his head again. So Ryan glanced back immediately.
And it was just as he thought, the other boys had already gotten so close to him with the aim of tapping his head with force. But since he’d glanced back, he’d ruined everything.
“Shit!”.
That was the utterance that flowed out of one of the boys’ mouths the moment Ryan glanced back. And both boys began laughing right after due to the way Ryan acted cautiously using what happened yesterday.
And they weren’t the only ones that laughed, other students laughed as well ’cause of the same reason…
Both boys walked past Ryan, reaching the first boy who tapped him in the head. So the three of them were standing in front of Ryan right now just like yesterday.
Their food was still on their table unfinished, they just decided to bully Ryan again seeing the cooks weren’t in the cafeteria anymore.
‘And the bullying has resumed’. Ryan thought to himself glancing at the boys standing in front of him.
Now, it could be said they weren’t standing in front of Ryan only because Ryan wasn’t the only one sitting around that table. Dylan was sitting around it as well along with the other boys.
So it could be said they were standing in front of Dylan along with the other boys as well. But their gaze was focused on Ryan only…it was him they were here for.
“This again? I know that thought would have most likely ran through your mind”. The boy that initiated the tapping stated glancing at Ryan.
And truly, that thought ran through his mind in a way. Ryan didn’t say anything though, he was just glancing at them…
A lot of students were glancing at the scene taking place just as they were glancing at it yesterday. They enjoyed yesterday’s own, and they planned on enjoying today’s own as well.
“I heard something after stepping foot into the cafeteria, I heard you most likely had a friend now. Even with all the people distancing themselves from you, someone still chose to become your friend, that is really nice”. That same boy uttered.
And after making that utterance, his gaze shifted to Dylan. Then he pointed at him before saying once again,
“And I heard it is this guy here, I think we’re in the same level of learning. According to what I remember, your name is Dylan. You’re basically a loser ever since I knew you, always on your own and all that,
I don’t even know how I got to know your name, I don’t remember”.
He’d focused his gaze on Dylan fully by now, it was him he was speaking to now. And Dylan was actually glancing at him listening to everything flowing out of his mouth.
It was just as Ryan said, Dylan becoming his friend means he’d share in everything happening to him…it was expected.
And he’d already started sharing in it ever since they stepped foot into the cafeteria and sat down. Comments about them had been flying around, people had been staring at them, and so on.
And right now, a certain guy was talking trash to him…it keeps going and going.
“Why did you become friends with Ryan? I’m having a feeling about this, that’s why I’m asking”. The boy’s voice resounded again with his gaze still focused on Dylan.
Dylan didn’t say anything, he didn’t respond to his question, he was only glancing at him. Then the boy’s voice resounded again,
“Are you sure there isn’t an ulterior motive for becoming friends with him?”.
Dylan didn’t respond to this either, he was only staring at him…
“When I ask you a question, you answer. Stop staring at me like a fool”. The boy uttered again with anger evident in his voice.
“And why should I give an answer to such a foolish question?”. Dylan voiced out.
Murmurings began resounding across the cafeteria the moment Dylan said that as a lot of people were staring at him with widened eyes due to what he just said now.
Ryan’s eyes widened a little as well the moment Dylan said that. And from the look he was seeing on Dylan’s face, it didn’t seem like he was afraid of the boy and his gang.
The boy’s eyes widened as well the moment Dylan said that, and his two friends weren’t excluded, their eyes widened as well.
“What did you say just now?”. The boy inquired of Dylan.
“What did you hear?”. Dylan answered his question with a question, it didn’t seem like he was afraid of him at all.
Students in the cafeteria kept glancing at the scene, they were surprised by Dylan’s gut. Ryan couldn’t take his eyes off Dylan, he was surprised by his gut as well.
An angered expression had already appeared on the boy’s face by now, and after the passing of a few seconds, he began walking toward Dylan.
..Seeing that he was walking toward him, Dylan stood up from the chair he was sitting on.
Now, Ryan didn’t like where this was leading to, it was going out of hand, seems like a fight was about to begin right in the cafeteria.
The boy reached Dylan standing very close to him and glancing directly into his eyes. And Dylan was doing the same, he just stood there glancing directly into the boy’s eyes as well.
Now, they came for Ryan with the plan of including Dylan to an extent…but it was Ryan they mostly came for. But according to the look of things, their attention had been focused on Dylan fully as if it was him they came for.
Dylan had become the center of attention, it wasn’t Ryan anymore. The boy and Dylan were still standing very close to each other glancing directly into each other’s eyes when some of the cooks stepped foot into the cafeteria.
They’d have to stop whatever they were doing seeing some of the cooks had entered the cafeteria. If they wanted to fight before, they wouldn’t be able to anymore.
They couldn’t fight each other when adults were inside the cafeteria…
