Remember, students were making comments concerning the fact that Ryan entered the cafeteria along with Dylan, and it seemed like they had become friends or something.
And they weren't only making comments about that, they were staring at them as well...
Well, it got to a point where everything stopped all of a sudden, which got Ryan and Dylan surprised. No more comments flying around, no more awkward stares, and so on.
But the thing was that everything had resumed again.
'Oh! Shit! Here we go again'. That was the thought that ran through Ryan's mind the moment everything resumed.
People started staring at him awkwardly at first, then comments about him started flying around again. Some people were talking about the fact that Ryan had a friend now, which was Dylan.
And some people were talking about Ryan only...those hurtful remarks and so on.
