Off To School

As we got into the car their was still an awkward silence between the two of us. So to lighten the mood I turned on the radio. Of all songs to play it had to be your lips are moving. I couldn't move faster to turn it to a different station but all of the songs that played either dealt with secrets or lying. I was freaking out in the passenger seat as Luke started to laugh. He even heaved over the wheel when we were at the stop light. I gave up on my idea and just looked out the window. 

When we pulled up to the school Luke was greeted by his little entourage of jock friends. Before any of them took real notice of me I sneaked out and headed for the school. But I couldn't get ten feet away before his friends saw me.

"Hey mute! Are you not going to talk to us even though we came to greet you." None other than Jeff could be this cold. At the end of what he thought was a brilliant joke all his friends laughed and began to shout. "Mute!" I ignored him and his friends and continued my walk when I felt his eyes on me. I turned back and looked Luke dead in the eye and shook my head no. To make sure he wouldn't attack that idiot Jeff. But Jeff saw me again this time he approached me starring me down. 

I went to turn around but there was already three guys blocking my path. " So mute care to tell me why you made that little face." 

Jeff was inches away from my face so I did what any logical person would and spit in his face. He backed up shocked, then a wave of anger crossed over his face as he came toward me. Before Luke could even step near me. I'd already ducked from Jeff's punch, crouched down on the ground swung my leg out as fast as I could Knocking Jeff flat on his back. Before anyone could react I grabbed the guy behind me and vaulted over him. Running to my first period. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I could not believe what just happened. Last time I checked I didn't know ninja moves. 

" Miss Bank's if you don't mind looking at the board and not the window." I buried my head in my notes my face as red as a tomato. My little moment of shame caused a burst of snickers throughout the room which only caused me to sink lower into my chair. As the lecture went on my phone began to buzz in my pocket. It was either Luke or dad they were the only ones who knew my number. But it was from someone that was an unknown number. 

I began to hyperventilate from the thought of it being the man from the night before. I stood up in the middle of class breathing heavily unaware of the stares everyone was giving me. But before I could get to the door I collapsed and was drifted away somewhere. At first I thought it was Ike then I noticed more than one presence in the small dark room we were in.

This chapter is a little shorter, but it's still really good! I can tell that your writing is improving. This was really fun to read. =) You did a really good job letting your reader get inside of Nyla's head. It was interesting to see what she was thinking and feeling. I think the description is pretty good too.
A suggestion...
In the last paragraph, your first sentence is "I began to hyperventilate from the thought of it being the man from the night before". I wouldn't use the word "hyperventilate". It just makes it seem a little unrealistic. Usually when someone is hyperventilating they don't stop and think "Oh, I'm hyperventilating", you know? I think this is a point where it is critical that you show instead of tell. So, instead of telling your reader that Nyla is hyperventilating, show them. If Nyla is out of breath, don't straight out say it. Describe what it feels like. Maybe she feels like she just ran a marthon. Maybe the room is spinning...maybe her heart is hammering. Just some ideas to get those creative juices flowing. =)
I hope this helps. You're a great writer, and I hope you keep growing in your writing...keep it up!! =D
