Viral: Ryland Storms

10

At 5pm everyone comes back. Ryland and I are talking outside still.

Calvin:I like your cut G!
He hits me in the head.

You:ow! What the fuck Calvin?! And when did you guys get back?
Thomas:we just got back.
Kouvr:Calvin and Patrick are doing that to everyone.
You:omg.
Larray and Avani grab my arm and pull me to the side.

Larray: so what happened while we were gone?
You:nothing really. We just hung out at the pool.
Larray:I don't believe you.
Avani:we're going to find out, but for now let's go to the movie room and watch a movie!
You:yass! Kissing booth?
Avani:yes!

I grab my towel then go to the movie room with Avani and Larray.

You:I'll be back in a sec, I'm going to change really quick.

I go to my room and change into sweatpants and a hoodie. I put my hair in a messy bun and take off my makeup. Before I leave my room, I grab the blanket I stole from Ryland and go to the movie room.

Larray:hurry it's about to start!
I sit next to them on the couch and the movie starts.

~After the movie~

The movie just ended and Larray and Avani both are asleep. I get up and tap the blanket around me, then go out to the living room. Mostly everyone is there messing around.

Nick:where's Avani and Larray?
You:sleeping.
Kouvr:we should go to Boa for dinner!
You:yes! I haven't been there yet.

We all start walking outside to the cars.

Chase:your seriously bringing the blanket?
You:yes. I'm not in my best state right now, I don't have makeup on and I'm cold.
Mia:you don't have makeup on?!
You:no, why?
Mia:it looks like you do!
You:thanks I guess, not sure if it's a compliment.
Alex:ok who's riding with me?
Kouvr:me, Calvin, Patrick, Calvin, Micheal, and Paper.
Thomas:ok then Mia, Nick, Ryland, Chase, and Sydney will ride with me.
You:that means 4 people will have to be in the back row, so I'll be squished!
Mia:you could sit on someone's lap.
You:no. It's not comfortable.
Nick:then you'll get squished.
You:or Thomas can drive his Tesla that has 8 seats!
Thomas:sure, I'll go get the keys.

Thomas goes and gets the keys then everyone gets in the cars. Mia is in the passenger seat, Chase, Nick, and Ryland are sitting in the middle row and I have the whole 3rd row to myself. Thomas starts driving.

Chase:hav enough room now?
You:yep!
Thomas:oh, I meant to tell everyone this but we are getting a new member tomorrow.
You:please say it's a girl!
Thomas:it's actually a boy, his name is Vinnie.
You:wait. Vinnie Hacker?
Nick:oh no.
Thomas:yeah.
You:we used to date! It only lasted about 2 weeks but it was a good relationship.
Chase:we don't want to hear about all your relationships!
You:shut up chopstick! One can I have aux?!
Mia:sure.

I connect my phone to the car and start playing "Still Softish."

Chase:out of every song, you choose this?
You:yep! Next will either be Justin or one Direction.
Mia:play One Direction next!
You:ok!

Soon we get to Boa Steakhouse and wait outside for our reservation. Ryland and I are standing right next to each other. Fletcher, from HollyWoodFix, comes up to us.

F:hey guys!
You:hey! I haven't met you in person before!
F:I'm Fletcher, nice to meet you!
We shake hands.
F:Sydney, can you explain what happened with you and Jake?
You:long story short, the day I came here he was planning to cheat on me.
F:oh I'm sorry.
You.it's ok.
F:I've heard you past is bad, are you ok now?
You:yeah. Right now I'm just cold, even though I'm wearing a hoodie and have a blanket around me.
F:hahaha. Your officially apart of hype house now?
You:yeah I'm pretty sure. I do live there now too.
F:cool! Ryland, how are you?
Ry:I'm good.
F:Sydney who have you met in LA so far?
You:sway, hype, Avani and Larray. that's all.
F:not that you asked, but I think you and Dixie would be great friends.
Ry:I'm not sure that's a good idea. Especially with how Sydney's mind is.
You:omg! Me and her can be the girl duo! Sixie! Yass!!
F:wait, what's wrong with Sydney's mind?
Thomas:it's different.
You: in an amazing way!
Micheal: YOUR MIND IS NOT AMAZING!
You:YES IT IS MICHEAL! SO SHUT UP!
Alex:when she speaks her thoughts out loud and someone is filming, we have to cut it out of the video.
F:I'm sure it's not that bad!
Micheal:yeah cause it's horrible!
You: my brain is not horrible! It just took after my friends brains!
Thomas:ok our table is ready.
You:bye Fletcher!
F:haha ok, bye!

We go inside and sit at 3 booths. Kouvr and Ryland are sitting next to me, Nick, Chase, and Alex are on the other side. We order our drinks and food.

You:life is boring right now.
Alex:wait, I might be able to film this! Ok go.
You:I have an idea!
K:oh no.
You:ok there is a few options!
K:we will do the safe one.
You:uhh. First option, we go rob something! Like a car or building!
Nick:what the fuck?
You:second option! We go to a really tall building and go into the elevator. While in the elevator we keep jumping and get stuck in the middle!
Ry:how would that be fun?
You:third option, we get 4-wheelers and go up on a mountain with mud and drive through that!
K:the safest one out of those is probably the second one.
You:ok, tomorrow we can do the second one. Then the next day, we do the third one! And in 2 days we go rob something!
Alex:or, we could not rob something but just do the other 2.
You:fine.
Alex:actually we can't tomorrow, Vinnie is moving in.
You:oh yeah. Then the 2 days after tomorrow we will! Yay!!
K:and again, we are NOT robbing something.
You:'we' so just I could?
K:no!
You:fine.

The food comes and we eat.
After everyone is done eating we pay and go back to the house. I go to the movie room and Avani and Larray are still sleeping.
Oh well, I'll just check on them in the morning.
I go to my room and lay in bed. My phone buzzes and I got a text from a group chat.

🤪Hype House🤪
Thomas🚂: Vinnie will be here tomorrow at 11am.
Sydney💕: ok, I'll be asleep.
Mia😘:someone doesn't want to see their ex.
Sydney💕: no, I'm just tired.
Nick🧸: then go to sleep.
Sydney💕: I can't.
Calvin🫓: why?
Sydney💕: I can't get comfy and it's only 9pm.

Then there is a knock on my door.
You:COME IN!!
Ryland walks in and shuts the door behind him.

You:hey!
Ry:saw you couldn't get comfy, wanna cuddle?
You:yes!!

Ryland lays next to me on my bed and cuddles me.

He smells so good.
Is he comfortable?
Do I smell ok?
What if he doesn't like me because I said we can't date yet.
I want ice cream.
What are we doing in 2 days again?
Oh, getting stuck in an elevator and driving 4-wheelers on a mountain. That should be fun!
Is he looking at me?
He is.
Why?
Do I look ugly?
Do I smell bad?
He is looking at my lips now. Now my eyes.
Does he want to kiss me?

Ryland leans in and we kiss. It lasts for about 5 seconds but we pull away and continue cuddling. Soon I fall asleep.
