The 'it' boy, in love with me? My ass!

Chapter 13

After 20 minutes of more crying (because I had to make it believable.)

I looked up and saw Ryder still staring at me, as I was the most unusual thing in the world.

“You want to go for ice-cream?” He asked concern in his voice.

I was feeling a bit hungry. I mean I passed out around 9.00 in the morning and now its 8.00 pm.

Instead of saying anything, because I didn’t trust the way my voice would sound.

I have never cried this much in my entire life.

I gave him a small nod.

He got up and offered me his hand.

I gladly took it, as my legs felt numb.

He told Alex we were going to use his car. Apparently Alex didn’t care. He was busy finding Carter’s medicines.

We got to the ice-cream parlor and ordered the same thing. Chocolate mint.

After arguing with Ryder on who was going to pay, I gave up. He said it was after all his idea.

Instead of eating in the parlor we went to a park near back.

All the way to the swings non of us said anything. Until Ryder broke the silence.

“So you and Ash broke up?” I said nothing for a long while.

I have told so many lies.

There was no backing out anymore.

“Yeah” I let out a small squeak as I felt someone tap my shoulder.

“Your it!” He let out a little laugh and started running away.

Me being the soccer captain, and him being the football captain, were both fast.

It didn’t take me that long to tag him.

I let out a giggle and started running away.

I felt someone grab me and push me on the wet grass.

I squigled my self so I was facing Ryder.

He got down to my ear and whispered,

“Tag, your it”

Then he got up, and for the second time today, he offered his hand.

I quickly grabbed it and we made our way back to the car.

“So Alvii, how’s life?” He said trying to brake the awkward silence.

I let out a chuckle and answered him.

“Complicated.”

Out of no where he started singing, Avril lavigne’s song Complicated.

I couldn’t help burst out laughing.

“oh my gosh! Ryder, that’s was hilarious!”

“what, you think my singing is funny?” He said making a hurt/childish face.

I knew he was faking it.

“No, no just you trying to sound like her.” Then again I started laughing again.

A few minutes later Ryder joined in.

When we reached my house, before I got out Ryder asked me,

“why’d you date him Alvii?”

“Excuse me, who?”

“Ash.” He replied.

“That isn’t your business.”

“You know what your right. But you have to open up. You cant just stay in this, this bubble of your you’ve created.” He said motioning to me.

He was pissed, I could tell my just looking at his eyes.

“We finally have a proper conversation, and you have to say something stupid and ruin it”I said ready to get out of the car.

“I didn’t say anything stupid Alvii! It was just a question!”

“why did you have to go and ask it?!”

I opened the lock. But he just locked it again.

“Because I care Alvii, I care about you.”
