Chapter four

Tyler watched from across the cafeteria as Ryen sat with her brother, Virtue and Asher. To him she seemed anxious.

"You could try and be a little less obvious Tyler," Kate spoke from her seat next to Pogue. Tyler glanced at her before looking intently on the tray of food in front of him, a light blush appearing on his face.

Ryen's prov.

"So, can we eat off campus?" I asked as I settled down at the table. The was a sigh from Ryder.
"Ryen, Runa is fine. Dusan is watching her."
"It's not that I don't think he isn't capable of watching her," I took a bit of my salad. It gave me some time to think. "It's just that I don't trust Levon. He could have sent Ayden and his lackeys after me."
"He didn't send any after me when I left." Ryder spoke softly.
"When you left it was a blessing for him. There was no one to challenge him."
"How is this different?" he interrupted me.
"How is this... this" I moved my hands for emphasis. "This is different because I'm not you. They want me to still be apart of the pack."
"Why?" his voice was low and serious.
I looked at him with what I'm sure was a pleading look before I went stone faced. Standing up from the table I told Asher that he could have the rest of my lunch.

I just needed to get away. Maybe not to Runa away, but away from people. That is what I decided as I opened the cafeteria door and stepped out into the hallway.

Where would the best place for that be?... Library!

Tyler's prov.

"So, Baby Boy," Reid started. "You should go and talk to her. She's alone, now is the perfect time to...." I stood up before he was finished. "That's my boy!" he exclaimed as I started walking to the exit doors.

As I stepped into the hall, I turned my head in both directions.

She wasn't there.

Where would she be?....She did look upset when she left. Maybe she would want to be somewhere were she would be alone.

The library!!!.... Might as well start there.

Ryen's prov.

"You're Ryder's sister, Ryen right?" a tall, wavy haired brunette asked me as I found a secluded table in the library.
"Does it matter if I am?" I looked him right in the eye. He was kind of a creepier, he reminded me of Ayden.
"The thing about a private school in a small town is that you don't get many new kids," he was walking closer to me.
"I sure."
"So. Where did you come from? a public?"
"Don't really think that that is any of your business."
"What about your brother, why didn't you come along when he did?" he was at the other end of the table, still coming closer. He smiled, or more like smirked at me. "you look a little nervous."
"Not nervous, just contemplating on whether or not you do something before Tyler kicks your ass."
His expression was shocked, then it turned into disgust. "Why are you hanging around that poser?"
"OH... Look who's talking." He pushed me into the table. Placing his arms on either side of me, trapped.
"You know he and his little poser friends kill someone."
"I really doubt that." I looked him right in the eye. "Hi Tyler." I said, still looking him right in the eye.
"Is he bothering you?" Tyler asked from between the ends of two bookshelves. I looked at Tyler. His finger was pointed to the guy pinning me to the table.
"No, he was just leaving." I turned back to the guy and smiled.

He stepped back, removing his arms from the table. He nodded as if to say 'think about' or something like that. I couldn't help but chuckle as he left.

"He wasn't bothering was he?" Tyler asked as he sat across from me at the table.
"Na, he was... entertaining."
"What did he say?"
"Heh, nothing important. Just trying to get me to go back to his room with him." I smiled at him. "What brings you here anyways?"
A light pink reached his cheeks. "Uhh, you seemed upset when you left the cafeteria. I thought I would come and see if you're okay." he softly said, looking anywhere but at me.
"Oh, you saw that." He nodded, and made eye contact and kept it. "Yeah, sort of had a stupid argument with Ryd. I'm fine though." I half smiled at him.
"Didn't you say you where going somewhere during free period?"
"Yeh, I decided not to. I'm just going to stay here. Maybe get my homework done."
"Mind if I join you?"
"Not at all."

Hope you enjoyed.
