"For one that was kinda creepy and two if she wanted me to move she would have said so," Shan stands to meet Hunters height.

"Okay," he leans down. "This isn't over, you can't aviod me forever," he whispers in my ear. Then walks away and sits where Shan usually sits right behind us.

"Does Hunter know about you?" Shan asks once he sits back down.

"Yeah, he is the son of a partner of mine so he kinda found out during the project from the beginning of the year." I shrug, with a nods he understands and we continued to talk and laugh even after the teacher began class but Shan would just slip me notes with doddles on them which where pretty fun so I would giggle or laugh.

Hunter hit my chair lightly and raised an eyebrow and me probably wondering what is so funny. But I just ignored him and continued on with class.

During lunch I ate in the library to aviod them in the upstairs corner that I like. I thought it was all good, that I was in the clear until I saw Ryan walk around that book shelf, I sighed. Why can I never get away from any of them.

"Hey..Hope," he walks over wiping his hands on his jeans.

"Hey Ryan," I give a tight lipped smile.

Ryan sits at one of the chairs opposite of me. "Hey I'm I just wanted to ask what going on with you? You know like I'm not upset that your making new friends but what was that all about with Hunter in class?" He looks invested.

"Why so that Tyler and Hunter can hear from around the corner?" I didn't know if they were there it was a 50/50 thing.

"Hope, they don't even know that I'm here," he looks sincerely. "I just want to know what's going on with you, you've never avoided us before so why now what has changed?" He really doesn't know dang.

"Hunter, that's who changed. He's all flirty and serious with me and he..he kissed me," I whispered. I didn't really want to tell Ryan being as he had a crush on me.

His expression drops then goes to confusion. "But why would that make you avoid us and start hanging around Shan, you know the guy that bullied you and even if you forgive him he still did it so what if you weren't so badass he would had been pushing around some small fragile girl who could have became depressed from it. So why are you running from us?" His confusion is focused on me.

"It's just, I don't know its really hard on me, I don't know how to deal with him," I sigh. "He makes me feel some way, where my stomach turns and I think I'm going to puke or something and it's just all of a sudden," I looked down at the table before looked back up to Ryan's questioning gaze.

"So that gives you the right to avoid us, to make us think we did something wrong to you, to make me question myself when it was you not knowing how to face your feelings. Come on Hope where did that badass go? Looks to me like she ran off and hid in a cave somewhere far away; if he likes you and you like him just go for it and if it doesn't work out then I guess at least you two tried," Ryan sighs when the bell rings standing from his seat. "But even if you don't, don't run from us," he then leaves me speechless and close to tears.

I sigh ashamed of myself. He is right why make such a big deal out of this, it not like I've never dated before. It's not like I don't have feeling towards Hunter who makes my stomach do back flips, and he is right I shouldn't aviod this I should face it, and if it doesn't work out then at least we tried.

Standing from my seat I hurry out the library as I had been sitting there for a while I can't be late to class, I'm still a nerd, but I'll talk to Hunter later. It's the end of the day anyways so the the guys and I already planned to let the kids hangout again today. So maybe we can have a movie night in my tub again, I know I could use a nice bubbly bath.
