Lesson Thirty-Four - In The End It's You VS You
It was now lunch time and I was currently stabbing my fork into the food in front of me. I could people looking at me but I paid no attention to it, my annoyance and thoughts taking over everything.
"What the hell did that food ever do to you?" Asked Jake as he sat down beside me. He pulled the plate away from me earning him a glare from my ice blue eyes.
"Finally." Sighed out Sky as she threw her hands up in the air. "I wanted to pull the plate away from her for the last 10 minutes but was scared I'd get the fork stabbed in my eye."
"Have you ever had someone play mind games with you and you don't know what the hell their next step is. Then you think to yourself what if they just want you to over think, maybe they just want you overreact. Then you think oh wait that doesn't sound like something they'd do, or is it? Because they are so unpredictable."
I looked up at my two best friends after my rant to see that they were staring at me with bewildered looks on their faces. It was a few seconds before either of them spoke.
"Are you ok?" Jake raised his hand to my forehead like he was checking for my temperature. I slapped his hand away and sent him another glare.
"I just want to met the person that could mess with Lyra's head." Remarked Sky almost like she couldn't believe it. "That takes some serious skill."
Just then a tray was placed across from me and watched as my brother sat in front of me. I sent him a glare, if it wasn't for him I would be in the situation to overthink this much. It was always his fault.
"Does anyone want to tell me why my twin sister is glaring at me like she wants to murder me?" Damon looked between my two best friends who just shrugged their shoulders. My death look just intensified as I look at him.
"This is all your fault." I said a little louder than I should've. A few people had quietened down to look at us but after one look from me they quickly turned away.
My brother rolled his eyes and started to eat his burger. "You have been blaming me for everything lately. I don't even know what one this is about anymore."
"It's just your fault." I harshly snapped out under my breath but my brother took no notice of it. He just continued to eat shrugging.
"I'm just going to agree to get it over with." Damon said after chewing his food. "It seems like the easier option right now."
"Thank you." I said giving him a fake smile. "That's all I needed from you."
Finishing off his burger my brother spoke again. "Speaking of annoying things, are you just going to straight to the restaurant?"
I groaned and slammed my head down on the table. I completely forgot about that stupid reporter bitch Holly.
"Yea I guess." I said sitting back up and grabbing my plate back from Jake. I needed to take my annoyance off on something and my plate of food was better to stab than my brothers head.
"Wearing that?" Asked my brother with a pointed look.
Looking down at my outfit I was just wearing a hoody and ripped jeans and trainers. It was very causal for the restaurant we would be going to but I don't care. I wasn't going home only to run about getting ready in 20 minutes. Plus it was cold, it was now autumn and the temperature was starting to drop.
I noticed my brother was wearing a hoody to. "What's the difference, you're pretty much wearing the same stuff I am."
He gave me a pointed look. "I'm a guy all I have to do is take the hoody off and ta da." He said holding out his arms wide like he was showing off a magic trick. "I'm ready to go."
Both me and Sky glared at my brother this time. "I hate you I hope you know that."
My brother shrugged then looked at Sky. "Not you though Sky you look beautiful no matter what you wear. My sister on the other hand is borderline needing plastic surgery."
I didn't even have time to take in the thought of my best friend turning red beside me. I was to busy diving over the table at my brother grabbing him by his hoody. I felt Jake grab me around the waist laughing but trying to stop me from killing my brother. Everyone was watching us.
"I'm going to fucking kill you, you son of a bitch!"
My brother was laughing his head off at my reaction which just fuelled my anger more and I grabbed the hoody around the collar, pulling it hard. My brother tried to get my grip off him still while still laughing even though I was chocking the life out of him.
"What the hell have I just walked into?"
We all froze and looked up to see Riker standing at the end of the lunch table with a raised eyebrow looking amused. I'm sure we looked like a right sight in front of him. With me lying across the table to get to my brother who was still in my grip and my brother trying to push me away. Jakes hands were still wrapped around me as he tried to pull me away and Sky was sitting to the side looking completely shocked at what was going on.
"Nothing." I said as I send my brother one last glare and pushed him away. He was still laughing the whole time.
I let Jake slide me back into my seat and I took my plate of food from Sky who I was thankful for moving it. The last thing I needed was for it to go all over me.
I watched carefully as Riker sat beside Damon and across from Jake. I wasn't the only one who found this action weird. The whole school did because they never took their eyes away from us.
"What are you doing here?" Seeing him at my house all the time was normal but school was something different. I could feel all of Zane's friends whisper amongst each other. It wouldn't take long for him to find out his rival is getting close with his ex and her friends. What was he playing at.
"Can't a man sit where he wants to sit?" Asked Riker and I knew it was a rhetorical question but me being me had to answer anyway.
"Not a that man doesn't wants to cause shit which is clearly your aim here and you know it."
I watched as he took a drink out of a bottle of water before he answered. "Maybe it is maybe it isn't. Maybe I just want to talk about this interview I got dragged into because a curtain someone couldn't keep her head cool."
My brother laughed from beside him as he finished off the rest of his food. "I told you it was your fault." He had whispered it under his breath but I still heard it. That's why he shouted in pain when I kicked him under the table and gave him a satisfied smile at the sound.
I then turned my attention back to Riker. "What about it?"
"We need to watch what we say in front of this woman-" but he never got finish.
"Riker." Now if I was to ever to see complete annoyance on Riker's face right now would have been that moment and I actually took completely enjoyment out of it. Even though his annoyance was Ashley.
I had never seen my brother move so quickly in his life as he left his seat and went to sit at the other side of the table with Sky. I didn't blame him I wouldn't want to be sitting in the middle of what ever was about to go down.
"What are you doing over here with them?" She eyed us all over and I gave her a sickly sweet smile and wave when she landed on me. I hated that bitch.
"I don't think that's any of your business Ashley." Riker tone was hard and flat. What ever had went on between the two of them after they broke up clearly wasn't pretty.
"But it is-" she was cut off quickly.
"But it's not. You have nothing to do with me anymore Ashley and judging from you racing for Zane the other day it's pretty clear what side you're on. So go take your fake ass over there to them."
It took everything in me to not laugh.
Ashley looked around the table before getting up with a huff and walking away. I could see that Riker was still pissed off with the small encounter so picked now to bring up a different conversation.
"Have we had an more ideas on who sent that text message to my mother?"
I watched as everyone shook there heads. There was a way we could find out but I would need to get my hands on my mothers phone. I had a plan and I already told Damon it earlier and he was in.
"Damon told me about your plan." Spoke Riker and I turned and looked at my traitorous brother.
"Do you just tell him everything now? What are you his little bitch?"
My brother rolled his eyes clearly not surprised by my comment. "No but he's going to be there so he needs to know what is going on."
The lunch hall went silent as bell for us to go back to class went off. I hated that bell. It meant I had to go back to actual hell. Plus I had maths next.
As got up and through my rubbish away I started to make my way to class. I felt someone through their arm over my shoulders and turned to see it was Riker. We got weird looks but neither of us paid any attention to it.
"You really seem to hate Ashley." He whispered in my ear. I could hear the amusement in his voice from a mile away.
"I don't have the time to hate anyone. I either like you or I just don't care."
"If you say so princess." And with that kissed the top of my head and walked away.
