Third Person POV;

At lunch time Rhydian was hoping that he could get to talk to Maddy. He was hoping that Shannon and Tom would be right and that Maddy would be back with them at lunch. He had not got to talk to her all morning. She had been with Conor all morning.

Rhydian was sat in the canteen at a table with Shannon and Tom. As Maddy entered the canteen, he stood up so that she'd be able to see him.

She saw him. She saw him but walked on by with Conor and sat at a table on the other end of the canteen.

Rhydian slipped back down into his seat.

Rhydian's POV;

"How could she ignore me like that?", I thought to myself.

I looked over in her direction and watched the pair laugh at each other. They were getting very cosy. Almost too cosy for my liking.

I pushed my dinner from in front of me, into the centre of the table.

"Are we not good enough for her now?", I said aloud before realising that I had.

Shannon and Tom looked up at me.

"Come on Rhydian. We've talked about this. She's just showing him around and helping him to settle into his new school. It can't be easy for him, you off all people should know that," Shannon answered.

I grunted back at her.

Shannon and Tom got up.

"Are you coming mate?", Tom asked.

"No, I'm going to stay here for a while. I'll catch up with you."

"Okay," they replied as they walked away from me and out of the canteen.

For the remainder of lunch, I continually watched the two across the canteen. I didn't mean to. I just couldn't help myself.

Conor's POV;

Maddy showed me to the canteen. We sat down and began to eat our lunch. I looked around the enitre canteen just taking in everything. Suddenly I observed that boy, Rhydian I think his name was staring over at us.

I turned to Maddy.

"Here Maddy, why is he watching us?"

Maddy looked up from her lunch.

"Why's who watching us?"

"Him," I said as I gestured over towards the blonde haired boy sitting at the table by himself.

I watched as Maddy looked over and saw Rhydian. She quickly then looked down at the table.

"Rhydian? I've no idea why he's looking over here at us."

"Oh okay. Maybe we should ask him?", I suggested.

"No..don't...", Maddy hesitated.

"Why not?"

"Just leave him!", she shouted.

A few heads turned to our direction.

"Okay, I'll drop it."

Maddy gave me a small smile.

The school bell rang to signal that lunch was over.

Maddy and I got up to make our way to our next class. As we neared the canteen doors, Rhydian was standing waiting for us. More so, her.

Third Person POV;

Rhydian stood at the doorway, waiting for the pair to advance towards him.

Maddy went to walk straight past him and out of the door. However, Rhydian placed his arm across the doorway to prevent them from exiting.

"Rhydian can I get past please?", Maddy asked.

"Oh look! You're talking to me."

"What do you mean?", Maddy asked with a confused look on her face.

"You know exactly what I mean."

"Mate, just leave her and let her past," Conor interjected.

"I am not your mate!", Rhydian growled.

"Rhydian!", Maddy hissed.

Rhydian looked back at Maddy.

"Move," she ordered.

Obediently, he stepped aside and let her past.

He shouted after her, "We need to talk later."

Maddy shouted back, "We can, if you leave this you behind and the Rhydian I know comes and meets me after school at the bike shed."

Rhydian smiled at this comment before racing to his next class.

Rhydians POV;

"At least she's talking to me," I smiled to myself.

I walked into class with a big smile.

"What's up with you?", Shannon asked suspiciously, "What did you do?"

"Me?", I asked, with a shocked tone in my voice. "I've done nothing."

"Are you sure?" she asked, raising her eyebrow.

"Very," I beamed.

"What's made you this happy then?"

"I'm meeting Maddy later to talk."

"Ahh so that's what's got you all happy chappy," laughed Tom.

Third Person POV;

After school, Maddy left school with Conor. She completely forgot that she said she'd meet Rhydian after school. Instead she walked home with Conor. Conor left her at her front door.

He turned to head back into the woods but then turned back to Maddy as she was about to go through the door.

"Maddy?"

"Yes Conor?"

"Can you meet me in like twenty minutes?"

"Yeah sure. Where? Your place?", she laughed.

"Yeah."

"Okay, I'll see you in twenty minutes," she smiled.

Meanwhile, Rhydian was still at school waiting on Maddy. He figured she must just be held up in the school building. However after twenty minutes, he guessed that she'd forgotten about their arrangement and had went home. So Rhydian set off to the Smiths to see where Maddy was and ask her why she had forgotten.

Rhydians POV;

I reached Maddy's house. I knocked on the door but there was no answer. I sniffed the air to see if I could pick up her scent. I soon caught wind of it. However it wasn't just her scent I caught. I also picked up his...Conor.

I quickly followed after the scent trail until I was deep in the woods and could hear voices. It sounded like Maddy.

As I moved closer to the voices, I soon saw that it was infact Maddy with Conor. He was sitting on the ground and she was lying over his lap. I watched as he played with her hair. Something, I myself had longed to do. To just lie with Madeline Smith and just enjoy her company.

Rage pulsed through my body at the sight of them. How could she be like this with him, after only knowing him for a day. It didn't make sense. It seemed unfair.

I walked through the trees, I boomed, "Ohh so this is why you forgot about our meeting? You were too busy smooching with the new boy!"
