What if I fall? - Rini au

20. don't make a scene

POV Ricky

What if she doesn't remember? Should I tell her? What if she remembers? What if she hates me? Ugh. I hate this

I go into the room where she was sleeping last night, I don't see her in it. Wait- Did she leave?

I take my phone and decided to call her but she ignores me. Wow ok she hates me.

POV Nini

I rush out of there. I just couldn't stay there and have an awkward conversation with Ricky, because I don't know if I should act like I don't remember or just tell him.

I will never drink again!

My phone rings but I ignore it and when I got to the house my moms look mad, like really mad.

"sorry", i mumble before they could scream at me

"you are grounded missy", momma C says mad

"But-", i try to say

"No, we warned you that if this happens again there will be consequences", she explains

I huff in annoyance but they are right I shouldn't have left at all and go to that stupid party.

I turned my phone off so that I could focus on studying.

——————————————————————-
Kourt picked me up before school and at first I was thinking about not going but then... well she convinced me

Flashback

"Kourt... no... I don't want to see him", i said

"Girll, you have to see him someday"

"but not today"

"i'll give you my lunch donut", she said smiling

"the one with chocolate?", i ask desperately

"sure", she said

"fine, give me five minutes"

Ende of Flashback

"Can you hide me?", i ask Kourt

"Girl, don't over analyse everything! He hooks up with 20 girls in one week. He probably forgot that you wanted to...", she explains

It sounds worse than I thought. Im screwed.

I don't have my first class with him, thank god. But I have lunch with him... shit. I just won't go to the cafeteria and i'll eat in the girls toilets.

"See ya later", i say to kourt and she holds my arm before I can turn

"where do you think your going?", she asked

"not into the cafeteria because i won't talk to Ricky Bowen", i whisper to her

"and where will you eat?"

"girl's toilets", i say

"no way. No boy should make you want to eat in the girls toilets. come, and if he wants to talk to you I will talk for you ok?", all i can do is nod

This is why I love Kourt she always has my back.

We go into the cafeteria and I already see Ricky and his basketball friends and some cheerleaders. Ricky and I make for a second eye contact but he ignores me and talks to some girl.

Wait, did he not want to talk about what happened? It's not like I wanted to talk about it anyways, but I don't know I thought he cared.

Guess I was wrong. Maybe we shouldn't be friends after all.

POV Ricky

No, I won't go and talk with her after she didn't answer my text or anything. It is better this way. She has her world and I have mine.

I just thought she was different with her beautiful eyes and beautiful lips and her perfect body and the way she talks...

I mean...yea she is okay.

Shit, I need to talk to her. Maybe she can pretend like nothing happened but I can't.

As I stand up everyone looks at me, "where are you going?", EJ asked. "Im gonna talk to a girl", i said without mentioning her name, because I think EJ has a thing for her and I don't want him too freak out.

I walk up to her table with her friends: Korby, Ashley, Carl and Seb. I think that were their names but I don't really care. Nini looks at me before looking away obviously freaking out.

"Nini... we need to talk", i say. Kourtney gives me a death glare.

"No, you don't need shit from her and now move", she tells me. No one talks to me like that.

"Excuse me?", I return the death glare and Nini is still sitting their and pretending like im not here.

"You heard me. Now get the fuck away to your table", she raises her voices grabbing the attention from almost everyone in the cafeteria. She wants to play? Lets fucking play.

"Nobody talks to me like that", i take a step towards her so that she'll shut up and she sits down and huffs.

Nini mumbles something, but I couldn't hear it clear enough.

"What?", I asked

"Obviously its time that someone does", she says confidently.

"You don't want to start with me, Roberts", i warn her. I know if she wont stop i'll say fucked up shit to her.

POV Nini

I was so mad at Ricky nobody talks to my friends like that. I already told you im protective with my friends and even if it is Ricky. I roll my eyes at him. He pulls my arm and takes me out of the cafeteria.

"Let go of me!", i yell at him

"what is your fucking problem?", he yells back

"you", i huff in annoyance

"well it didn't seem like it yesterday", he mumbles and looks to the ground.

"don't.."

"we need to talk about this, about yesterday! How you...", i interrupt him

"How I was drunk and did a horrible mistake and was still hurt because of my ex boyfriend and needed a distraction", my voice is calmer now and he nods

"So we hate each other now?", he asked

"No, i don't hate you. I was just annoyed that you snapped at my friend like that", i explain

"i get that", he smiles. How did his mood change like this?

"so we go back to... friends?", he asked me genuinely

No. I want more. But will I tell him that so that he can break my heart like he does with everyone? No

"sure"
