Before school

Ralph stood by himself with his arms crossed leaned against the lockers, his held slightly down in order to avoid most people talking to him. He sat there waiting for ckass to start...I hate bein early

autumns locker was down the hall from Ralphs she grabbed her thing and walked up to Ralph and said hey

"hiding from something"

"Not really...Just waiting around" Ralph still stood in the same manner, only lifting his head to look at her.

"oooh okay well jus sayin hi.." autumn said getting a feeling that he didnt want to be bothered

she then waved and stared to walk to the bathroom

"Yeah, hey..." He said as she walked away...He shook his head from side to side and returned to his solitary waiting.

autumn heard what he said "wow...."

Ralph popped his neck to the right, then to the left...I just can't go on today... Ralph walked towards the exit and back to the parking lot towards his truck.

Chris was sitting in the bed, toking up "hope ya don't mind man, here i can lay down and look at the sky ya know?"

"Right..." He hopped into his truck and started the engine, he leaned his head out the window..."I'm headin out...So find a new place to chill I guess..." Ralph locked the doors and turned on music, blaring a Bayside song entitled What and What Not.

"you can go, i aint got nothin' to do" he said, laying down on the flatbed

Ralph looked out the window once more..."I'm goin somewhere alone...Not tryin to be a dick, but not this time man..."

Chris looked at Ralph, his lip quivering in mock sadness "but i thought we had something special" he laughed and hopped out of the flatbed "see ya bro"

Ralph hopped out of his truck to put the flat bed back up, he then hopped back into his truck and rolled up the windows...Sitting there for a moment.

Autumn looked in the mirror..she sighed.. she then applied her lip gloss and other make ups..

Ralph sighed and stepped out of his truck, he walked back towards the girls bathroom where he saw Autumn enter...It couldn't have been to long, so he just assumed she was still in there....He leaned against the wall beside the door and waited for her.

Autumn put her make up in her purse and Walked out of the bathroom

Autumn gasped.."you scared me!" she said smiling

"I tend to do that..." He said calmly, he looked her in the eyes and looked at her puzzled...Unsure on what to say next, he wasn't to good at communicating..."Listen...I'm sorry for bein such an ass to you earlier...I'm just...I guess not very people friendly..."

autumn began to mess with her hair

"its okay...." autumn said not knowing what to say either... for some reason Ralph had a akward effect on the way she acted.

Ralph rubbed his neck nervously, feeling like he was inadequate....Guess I aint as smooth as the other guys...She seems so bored of me already.......He stood there for a moment before he could muster up the courage to speak..."I guess I'll just leave ya alone now...Probably got more important things to do..."

"noo...where in school extra early..." she said smiling...

"is there something bothering you?...something you wanna talk about?" she asked concerned

"Not really..." Ralph felt uneasy about talking about his true feelings for her, but he knew she had something with Volchuk, so he figured he'd just get hurt if he were to open up..."And yeah...I usually am early to this hellhole...Its the only time its peaceful..."

"yea true..sometimes you forget how peaceful the world can be when you have all those barbaric people running around!." she said calmly thinking at the same time.

"I usually just tune them out..." He half smiled at her..."Somethin on your mind?

"yea just thinkin bout school, and my mom!" Autumn said looking up at Ralph.

"I see..." Ralph sat quietly, he felt like a giant compared to her...AS if he did to anyone...He felt rather uneasy and was very unsure on what to say next to keep her interest...I'm goin against Volchuk with girls...I aint gonna win....

Autumn sat quietly too she herself not knowing what to say...
she then moved her hair out of her face

Great, way to bore her to death... Ralph rubbed his neck nervously..."So what ya been up to?"

Volchuk walked up to Ralph's side and leaned against his shoulder jokingly.

"Hello lads," he smiled.

"Hey!" Autumn said now messing with her hair. and looking down at her shoes..

Course he'd show... "Nothin, was just thinkin bout headin out, didn't feel like comin to school today anyway."

"What's wrong Fall?" He said getting more serious.

she looked up at Volchok with a serious look on her face also..

"Nothing...you okay?"

"Should I not?" He said inquisitive.

Ralph left the two while they were conversating...He walked away holding a scowl on his face, heading towards his truck to skip school today.

"Yo Ralph, you alright?" He said looking towards him now.

"I Dont know your the one givin me the look..." she said looking at him...

He looked to her again, "You just seem a little upset or like you're hiding something."

" i dont have to hide anything from you Volchok..." Autumn said

"I believe you," he said pop kissing her quickly.

she smiled got up and grabbed his hand pulling him up.

He laughed and kissed her. "I'm going to go talk to Ralph, I'll catch ya later. Okay?"

"dont do anything stupid.." she then kissed, and hugged him

"Yes babe," he said walking towards Ralph.

"What's wrong bro?" He said hopping into the passenger seat.

"Nothin man...Leavin, just feel like chilling and smoking today..."

"You sure? Ya just gonna cut like that?"
