Note: this part is mainly narrated using Thea's point of view. The next part will be entirely Ryan. This story is also set back to a time when there was no Panic yet so they're all still in high school. I know Jon met Ry & Spencer first rather than Brendon but nevertheless.

I followed Brendon to the counter. His two new friends went ahead to find a table. "So, is that your way of saying sorry for being late a while ago?" Brendon asked. I replied absentmindedly, "huh?" "That skinny guy, you really know him, from your class?"

"Yeah," I said quietly on our way to the table they chose. I knew that silence was about to roll in when Brendon and I sat down to eat our lunch but the not-so-skinny guy cleared his throat and spoke up.

"I'm so sorry for being rude and not introducing ourselves, I am Spencer smith," he said then looking at his side, "and this is Ryan Ross." Spencer chuckled and putted his hand out. I shook it and smiled at him, "it is real pleasure to meet you - both of you."

Ryan just sat there, putting all of his attention to his tuna sandwich. Ryan Ross - such a pretty name. And it sounds interesting too. Spencer kept on asking us questions during the whole lunch break.

I just nodded every time Brendon would nudge me because I wasn't listening. I was not spacing out too or maybe I was - whatever. I guess I'm just too busy staring at him. Why won't he talk? The school bell rang signaling that we had to go back to classes.
