The cafeteria was filled with peace and serenity again. Everyone was just eating their food with the aim of emptying their plates in the next few minutes to come.
Ryan didn't seem to be enjoying the food that much anymore 'cause there was a lot on his mind. His mind had become so busy in a matter of seconds, and this was due to the occurrence that took place a few minutes ago.
He was wondering why those guys decided to start bullying him all of a sudden again. For some time now, no one had bullied him directly, it was only in those indirect ways like the awkward stares, mocking, hurtful remarks, and so on.
'Why did they decide to resume it all of a sudden again?'. Ryan kept asking himself this question in his mind without getting an answer to it.
