Ryland Goode

Chapter 2: July 13th, 1978

   It was cold. I slowly woke up completely naked and without a blanket. I roll over to my side grabbing a corner and pulling it over my body. I felt another body and quickly remembered what happened last night. I groan and put on clothes for the day.

   I quietly crawl back into the bed and try to wake up Sheila. I quickly dive out of the way as her hand starts swinging in my direction.

   "Jesus Sheil take a chill pill." I say with my arms raised in surrender. "Get some clothes on, you look like a mess" I say and she throws a pillow at me. I catch it and chuckle.

   "Its to early. And its cold." She says groaning and mumbling into the mattress.

   "That's why you should put clothes on. You're lucky that royalty gets their own cabin" I laugh tossing over her clothes. I look out the door to see will doing the same thing from what would be the girls side if we weren't there. Nick opted to stay in the councilor cabin this summer.

   I look over to Sheila who was in the middle of gettings dressed and smirked. She saw me looking and flipped me off.

  "Well that was rude." I say to her.

   "How is it so hot at night but so fucking cold in the mornings. Like so hot we both stripped." She asks and I shrug.

   "Ask mother nature. Seems to be her department not mine" I smile and she giggles at the joke. I look in the mirror and run my fingers through my hair trying my best to fix it.

   "You care more about your hair then me I swear" She rolls her eyes jokingly and pulling my shirt over her head.

   "That is false. Remember everyone looks at me like I'm a king. Not that I am a king, but they sure think so" I say standing tall again and looking at her.

   "Technically you're a prince. Saying as Nick is the oldest so he would be next in line for the throne" She says and I force a laugh.

   "Kings are supposed to do right by their people. It's perfect for Nick. He looks at Sunnyvale and Shadyside as the same people." I say seriously. "Unlike someone else in the room" I hear Sheila scoff from the other side of the room.

   "Shadysiders are people too Sheila. Respect is given until its lost" I say to her sitting on my bed. I check my watch to see if breakfast is ready.

  "How long until breakfast Ryland?" She asks brushing her hair.

   "Ten minutes." I respond "If you aren't done in five I'm leaving without you" That's when the door opens to reveal Will and Annie.

   "You guys ready for breakfast?" Will asks anxiously.

   "Annie what did he do this time?" Sheila asks as a look between the couple.

   "He called Nick out on his stupidity" She says and I look at him impressed.

   "Did Willy finally get his voice to stand up for hinself?" I ask standing up and walking toward the door.

   "Shut up. I've never had to before ok?" He croaked out.

   "I'm sorry your Majesty. Didn't realize you would need your big brother forever" I say slipping out the door and toward the mess hall. I turn around and start walking backwards "You guys coming?" I ask and they all start coming.

   I'm the first to walk into the mess hall. I grab the food I want and sit down at a table with the rest of them behind me. Becky ended up joining us soon after we were seated.

    The girls were talking about stuff while Will and I basically shoved food in our mouths. The girls looked at us grossed out.

    "You guys make us hungry alright?" I say earning an eyeroll from each of them.

   "Witch bitch, 9 o'clock" I say say looking toward the door.

  "She gets more annoying every year I swear" Sheila said rolling her eyes.

   "You only find her annoying because she dares giving you attitude" I say laughing. Will shortly started laughing with me.

   "I do not." She tried defending herself. We all gave her the side eye.

   "Damn I knew you weren't a good liar but I never thought you were that bad of a liar" Annie says and I try to hold in laughter. Evidently failing at the task I start to break down in laughter. The entire table soon joining me.

  "Ryland Goode. I swear to god I will tie you to a tree" She says trying to be scary.

   "Didn't you try that last year? And failed horribly?" I say with a mouthful of pancake.

  "We should go swimming today" Annie said changing the subject.

   "Sounds like a plan. And well, fun obviously. Maybe I can get Sheila to finally put in more then her feet this year" I say smirking

   "I swear to got Ryland you push me into the lake you will regret it." She says pointing her fork at me.

  "You also said that last year. And the year before." Will says and I nod in agreement.

   "You know what. I'm done with you two." She says rolling her eyes. Again.

   "You say that until I take off my shirt and you go batshit crazy." I say in a flirty way. She side eyes me and I  go back to finishing my food. 

This is horrible but I dont even care anymore. I need prompt ideas. ;)
