[Brendon]

I kept seeing this guy, here, there, everywhere. I actually didn't know who he was; I just knew he was the new kid. I really didn't like having any involvement with the new kids, but because I was actually intelligent I knew that I would eventually get paired up with him for something. I walked into English, to see him sitting there again. The creepy part was that he kind of stared, whenever I walked into a room, only this time he smiled and looked down. Kind of weird for a guy to do... The role was called and I heard him answer to the name Ryan. Hmm, Ryan, I kind of liked that name, but jeez, why am I thinking about this? There's no point in me, thinking about a new kid.
The class went by in the blink of an eye. I pushed Ryan to the back of my mind, but he was brought back to focus when the teacher asked us to stay behind.
"Brendon, I know that you've already got a busy work load, but would you mind helping Ryan catch up on what we've worked on already this year?" the teacher asked. Ryan was looking down at his feet, like he either didn't want help or the special treatment.
"Yeah sure," I replied, kind of hoping that I could just get this over and done with, he was just the new kid.
"Can you also show him around a bit? I'm not quite sure he knows where everything is quite yet." And with that the teacher left, dumping the new kid on me.
"I'm Brendon," I said, kind of figuring I sounded like an idiot because the teacher had spoken my name. He mumbled his name back. I decided that maybe instead of standing there awkwardly, I should show him around. We had gone into lunch, so I thought the best I could do was introduce him to some people. He followed me like a little puppy dog to where we sat in the cafeteria.
Everyone at our table looked at me when we started walking towards them; Ryan was behind me so they didn't see him. They were waving at me when he peered over my shoulder and they stopped and looked at each other.
"Who's your little friend there?" Spencer asked curiously.
"Well, this is the new kid," I turned around to him, "Ryan was it?" he nodded, and I turned back to face the group, "Ryan," I confirmed.
"Looks a bit...scrawny," Jon criticized and Ryan looked down and observed himself, he opened his mouth in protest but then closed it shortly after.
"Where are you from Ryan?" Spencer questioned while encouraging us to sit down, we accepted this offer.
"Oh, I'm not from anywhere, I moved schools, that's all," he answered. Murmurs went through the group. Everyone then proceeded to eat their food, losing interest in Ryan. I guess he just started to fit in from then on.
Tayla walked up to me at lunch, I didn't like her, she was hot though, but she always acted even...weirder (?) when Ryan was around. She wedged her way in between me and Ryan, and although Ryan was deep in conversation with Spencer, she started flirting with me. I saw that Ryan turned his head in my direction, looked over her then went back into conversation with Spencer.
"Brendon, what's wrong?" Tayla asked.
I looked at her, eyes open in disbelief and tried to ignore her. Instead of taking the hint she put her arms around my waist and her head on my shoulder. I had a feeling she was just about to kiss my cheek again when the bell rang. I stood up accidentally sending Tayla flying off the chair. Woops.
