OK , I'm fucked now . I would've been totally  been fine with my one sided crush on Jason but he's dating Samantha  and now Ryan knows about it . And we all happen to live together in the same house. Talk about awkward  scenarios. 

I grab my backpack and head downstairs as we need to leave for school . This morning's events were very uncomfortable but it doesn't mean I don't look forward to school. Well, you could say I'm a weirdo for looking forward to school but 

* Girl can't even be happy without getting judged* 

" How do you guys commute to school?" I ask Samantha  

" oh we take two cars  because I haven't passed my driving test yet --" Samantha gets cut off mid sentence

" Jason and Sam take a car usually . So sweetie, you can come with me "Ryan says winking 

"Pffttt" i laugh at his wittiness. "Okay , but you're weird "

"What do you mean weird ? I'm the coolest ,you know " he laughs and shakes it off.


Ryan and I might get along quite well considering the fact that we really vibed  in the car . He would come up with the wittiest possible answers when we bicker , making me laugh so hard that my belly would ache. We happened to have similar music taste so we jammed to some of our favourite songs . We talked about Jason and Sam  - Well it was mostly him telling me all these crazy stories of their training sessions . I realized that they already had a super strong bond , I wonder if I'd fit in the same . 

"Sheph " Ryan calls out after we park the car .

" You know, I don't really talk to kids in the school and I don't think they like me very much . So, you know .......umm...... don't feel obligated to .... umm ... talk to me at school" Ryan says very hesitantly as he scatches the back of his neck .

Wait , what ? Is he telling me to stay away and act as if I don't know him at school ? why? for some reason I feel very angered by this .

I walk the distance between us and tiptoe to get closer to his face ." Rynold Perrie , I'm not leaving you alone , note it down in your head " 

I swiftly turn around and start walking leaving a very confused Ryan behind me . I turn over to see that he's frozen right there . 

"hey , you ain't coming?" I shout and he looks at me smiles .

 "wait for me , sheph"

***

I verify my account on school computer and get my schedules for class .

"what ? why are you in these classes , it doesn't make sense . You won't last in this class " Ryan whines .

" yeah , they did me dirty " I pretend to be pissed but end up laughing . 

" okay , leave it to me " Ryan says . and pulls me into an empty classroom . He pulls out a laptop from his backpack and starts coding aggressively .

"Ryan? what are you doing ?" i ask

" putting you into all my classes " he says smiling . Totally forgot he was a computer geek.

This bitch lol . 

"pffttt " i laugh 

"what ?"

" it's cute how you're working so hard to stay with me all day after telling me not to talk to you at school" I tease and instead of replying he grabs my wrist and pulls me closer  and looks straight into my eyes . This for some reason sends chills down my spin and I feel my heart beating faster and the flush coming to my cheeks.

"hey , you were the one who said you'll stick with me no matter what . Backing off now ?" 

"you bet "

" alright " 

"alright " 

" okay "

" ummhmm" 

" Can you guys stop now? what's this ?  teen rom-com?" i hear Sam speaking from the door which now was opened . " And what is this that I hear ?You told Sheph to stay away?" 

"just how much did you listen , what the hell , you should've knocked " Ryan whines 

" Yeah he said the other kids don't like him that - " I get cut off

" what the fuck? this is so stupid , Ryan . Sheph, he's crazy popular at the school . Everyone wants a small taste of Ryan , isn't that right ?" she laughs and looks over to Ryan

" wait, what ? " i ask in confusion looking at their faces alternatively .

" But it is true that I like to be alone at school . I only ever talk to Jason and Sam" he says not looking up from the screen somehow a little quieter than before . 

Guilt it is son.

 " Ok , I get it . Just leave my schedule be"

" Too late , You're sticking with me all day , 5 days a week " Ryan smirks

"who's sticking with who?" i hear Jason 

"Oh sorry captain , I guess Juvenile told you to stick with Sheph throughout the classes but too bad she's not in any of your classes"

" Did you manipulate the schedule ?" Jason asks with a serious tone .

"yup" Ryan snickers.

Jason proceeds to look at me annoyed 

what? he's not gonna blame me now  , is he?
