Dear Diary, 

You are the most annoying thing I know after Ryan and Nicole.

You ditched me!

YOU FREAKING DITCHED ME WITH RYAN!

OK, maybe a Diary can't really ditch someone and I was the one who stuffed you into my bag whilst Ryan stood only one door away from me but I just need some one to blame right now since I'm sitting in the school's detention room.

Anyway, I'll give you a little flash back as to what happened after I not - so considerately stuffed you in to my bag. 

                                                                * * *

"I know you're in here, Nerdy..." Ryan said in a voice that gave me chills down my spine.

Not in a good way.

Oh it's far from that. 

As if on instinct, I pulled my feet up to chest and made this really awkward sitting position where I was sitting, curled up on the covered toilet seat. I also stopped breathing there for a few seconds. 
I could hear Ryan slamming the doors beside my stall open as he slowly made his way up to my stall. 

I only caught a glimpse of the faded green color of his Supra shoes before the door flung open and a strong hand grabbed my arm and pulled me out of my awkward sitting position on the toilet seat. 
Unintentionally, I let a small yelp escape my mouth before I felt the cold walls of the girls washroom behind my back and a strong presence hovering over mine. 

I hated being in this position.

It made me look weak and timid, something that most certainly was not.

I tried to regain my posture and flickered my eyes up to meet Ryan's dark blue orbs blazing right into my brown ones. For a minute out there, I felt intrigued by darkness in his eyes.

They were dark blue around the edges but a ring of dark green surrounded the middle part of his eyes.

For a few moments, I just kept staring into those tantalizing eyes confused whether to feel intimidated or entranced by its odd yet beautiful colors until I realized how close we were .

Ryan's face was only a few inches away from mine and I could feel his hot breath on my lips. It oddly made me shiver and I felt goosebumps all over my arms. I think it was because I was afraid if he would physically hurt me.

Even though deep down I know that Ryan would never hit a girl but I also knew that in his eyes I wasn't a girl, more like a pig with glasses on the perk of it's nose.

Not that I minded that cause I knew that I was ugly and I never cared what anyone much less what Ryan thought of me. 

I saw his hands move up to the sides of my face and he rested them on the wall trapping me between the wall and his muscular frame. Unintentionally again, I closed my eyes and waited for the pain to sink into me, only it didn't. 

Instead I felt him lean even closer as his breathing became heavier. It was only then that I opened my eyes to find clear confusion written all over his face which was later replaced by understanding and then. . . hurt? 

"Grace, did you think I would hurt-" I heard him whisper softly before-
"Ms.Burke and Mr.Brown, Principal's office. NOW!" Mrs. Braile's voice boomed through the toilet before she walked off with the sound of her heels clicking off behind her. 

I saw Ryan shut his eyes and clench his jaw as he balled up his fists that were next to my face on  the wall before he walked out off the washroom without another glance. 

I took this as my cue and shook my head wildly, clearing it from the fogged up cloud that was in there and walked off to the Principal's office. 

When I reached the office door I knocked on it and entered after I heard a 'come in' from the other side.

Our Principal signaled me to take a seat in front of him and I did so automatically. I noticed Ryan was already seated on the chair beside mine with his whole 'I don't give a shit' attitude.

Psht. So Ryan.

"So I guess you both have finished taking rounds around the school hallways." The Principal said as if this was some kind of joke.

I instantly looked down feeling ashamed where as Ryan here was just looking around the office with a bored expression. God! wasn't he guilty one bit? He probably had come here a million times and this was only my first so I had no clue what to do when you get into trouble cause I never really got into it before. 

" I shall not tolerate this immature behavior from anybody. Do you not understand that there is school decorum that you have have to follow? I am not surprised about Mr.Grey over here," this just got him a trademark smirk from Ryan as he continued,"but Grace, I had higher expectations." By this time, I had my head down as I didn't dare to look up too ashamed about what I had done. Our Principal, Mr.Sehgal was now walking from one side of the room to the other as he continued to speak in a furious manner. 

I felt a hand slip a phone into my hand and I looked up to see Ryan with a puzzled look on my face. He mouthed 'Read it' silently as he pointed towards his phone in my hand. I looked down to read it, It said- 

'Shut your mind & don't listen to him. It's better that way ;)'

I pressed the lock button on his iPhone and gave it back to him while slightly shaking my head slightly and mouthed  a small ' no ' back to him. 

He just shrugged and continued with his 'I don't give a shit attitude'.
"....children nowadays have no manners, no values, no sense of humanity no...." WOAH! that's just way too many 'No's' in one sentence.

I thought of considering Ryan's idea and starting thinking about how most of the certificates in there had my name written on them. They all were either from science , math or literature workshops and inter-school competitions.

On the other side of the room were many trophies which were all from sports competitions. I saw a picture kept on The Principal's desk with Ryan holding a large Golden Trophy with the other members of the basketball team next to him all looking equally happy.

Huh, It's funny because I knew that most certificates and trophies in this room belonged to me or the committees that I was an active member or captain of OR Ryan and the basketball team and still we both were here hearing this huge lecture from the person who has kept most of our victories locked up in his room talking about.. Well I don't even know what about anymore. 

"...keep the baby. Understand?" Mr. Sehgal's voice brought me back to reality.

"Huh?" I wondered out loud dumbly while I heard Ryan going, "No way on hell." as he got up and was abut the head out out but Mr. Sehgal's voice stopped him. " If you want to play the matches this year Mr. Grey, You will have to do as I say," This stopped him dead in his tracks as he turned around and sighed in defeat and slouched back down on his chair. 

" I'm sorry sir,But could you please repeat what you said." I said stupidly. Great now I'm just another stupid idiot in his eyes. 

I heard him sigh heavily before taking out a small toy like thing from his drawer. Why on earth would he keep a toy in his drawer?

"This baby," He said pointing it out towards both of us, " is your responsibility now and for the next 6 months." he said as if it was nothing. 

"NO!" I said and then instantly regretting because he gave me the 'do what i say' look. 
I was in for deep shit. really really deep...
