If I lose myself tonight, it'll be by your side.

Ridley.
I stared down at where my feet were on the ground. "I am too,"I said tugging at my hair slightly. "But I'm curious,"I said shrugging,"That's all,"I said looking at him. Maybe it wasn't just curiousity. There was something else that had me glued next to him but I didn't know what.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
Curiosity huh? "Curiosity often leads to foolish actions, you know." I said with a smile peeking out from the corner of my lips. "But it also shows courage. I'm pretty sure you're the only person I know who had the guts to actually talk to me in a civil manner."

[lauren.]

Ridley.
I smiled,"Curiousity to ask questions. Not to get myself into trouble,"I said playing with a ring on my finger. I wasn't talking to him to start doing things to get in trouble, I just wanted to get to know him. See what everyone hates.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I pursed my lips, "I'll only allow you to get so far with your questions, or else you'll be in trouble by me." I told her. Asking questions about me was a very...private topic. I usually got extremely defensive.

[lauren.]

Ridley.
I stared at Gavin for how his time had changed. I cleared my throat as I ran a hand through my hair,"Sorry,"I mumbled. How many awkward moments can you have in a conversation? I breathed in and let it out in a sigh.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I shrugged, "No harm done. You didn't push any limits," I smiled at her. I heard the bell ring and sighed, "Back to hell." I murmured, before standing up. "It was really nice talking to you Ridley." I said.

(I'm going to have him get in a fight on the way to class)

[lauren.]

Ridley.
I looked up when the bell rang. I stood up giving Gavin a smile,"Nice talking to you also,"I said gathering my things and tucking my hair behind my ear before walking off to class. I had my head down because I knew people were staring hardcore.
(Okay!)

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I was following a little behind Ridley, knowing she wasn't totally comfortable being with me. "Trying to get someone else to be useless like you, douchebag?" I heard before I was slammed into the locker. No one does that to me unless they want to die. I clenched my jaw as I turned to look at who was speaking to me; Tyler. "I'm not concerned about what you have to say asshole," I snapped back. "Oh are you upset? It looks like no one even cares about you considering all the bruises you have. Hell, you deserve it." He said with a smirk. I narrowed my eyes at him and then instantly threw a punch to his jaw. Once I started, I couldn't stop.

[lauren.]

Ridley.
I had heard something run into the lockers. I turned around just in time to see Gavin throw a punch at a guy I haven't ever noticed. My eyes widened as I stepped back. I was somewhat frightened of fighting but this needed to stop. "Gavin, stop,"I called out to him but my voice was lost in the many voices yelling fight.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
"You do not fucking mess with me!" I yelled at him, giving him another hard blow to his face. He obviously didn't know I was in boxing; his loss. "You don't know anything about me!" I continued to yell until I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders, pulling me back. I was in a hell of a lot of trouble; again.

[lauren.]

Ridley.
I stood against the lockers in the back of the crowd. My eyes were wide as I stared at the guy who was bet up pretty bad. Blood down his face, probably a broken nose. I stared at Gavin as he was pulled away by some teachers, maybe hanging out with him was a bad idea. What if I said something wrong and he went off on me.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I looked over at Ridley, seeing her pretty terrified. I gave her the 'I'm sorry' look before I was dragged towards the principle's office. Great, she was probably going to steer clear of me from now on. I just couldn't take it when people messed with me like that.

[lauren.]

Ridley.
I shook my head as I quickly turned and went down the hallway to my next class. I don't know what to do know. He seemed pretty nice when we were talking but just now...? My head hurt just from thinking about it all.

[haileyjordan]

Gavin,
I sat in the office, being scolded by the principle. I went through this all the time I didn't listen anymore. Four days, suspended. The same old. Except I hated being suspended. That was four days of either getting brutally injured at home or wandering the streets to find freedom.

[lauren.]

Ridley.
I didn't want to be here. I turned back around, opposite of my class. I headed back down the hallway past where the kid was getting treated for his bleeding. I didn't know what I was doing but I had a headache and I didn't feel like people staring at me all the time.
