REMINISCENCE

CHAPTER 16

RYDER

Noah is sitting next to me writing, while I intentionally brush my hand against him. I know I shouldn't have left without informing anything and believe me, I feel like an ass but I hope things can go back to normal between us. Maybe something even better than normal.

After I exit the class , Scar runs up to me "you have some explaining to do" she says with her fists on her hips. I chuckle "sure" I reply , she grabs my hand and pulls me towards a room , i look around and i see instruments. It's the music room?

"Explain" she says with a stern look. Not gonna lie,she is scary. "Umm okay..." I say slowly. "I don't have a lot of time Ryder!" she yells. "Calm down. Well it's hard being away from you for a long time and travelling back and forth so i moved and enrolled myself here. Simple!" I exclaimed. " What about your parents ryder? Are they okay with this?" she asks. "They don't care Scar, you know that. When i told them about this all they said was "ok" they didn't even hesitate. They threw their money on my face. I am just glad that I am far from them." I reply and she sighs.

"By the way...are you sure you moved here not only for me but also for a special someone" she wiggled her eyebrows in a suggestive manner making me widen my eyes. How does she know that I like noah?

"Oh come on it's so obvious, you two dont even know whats happening around when you are with each other" she says in a duh tone.

I clear my throat in embarrassment. Wait, I know how to embarrass her . " So how is Asher?" I asked her while wiggling my eyebrows like she did. "Oh god damn , we were talking about you!" she says, making me laugh. I put my arm around her shoulder "I missed you" I told her. "I missed you too dumbass" she chuckles. I missed my best friend

Finally school got over!. My first day was fine, not great. I see Noah walking towards his car , I run towards him "hey Noah" I say while panting. He doesn't even spare me a glance " i know that you are angry but can you let me explain?" I asked him. He turns around " not in the mood Ryder" he says and gets in his car and leaves. Okayyyyy he is very angry .

I find Scar talking to Charlotte , i go to them "hey Ryder" Charlotte gives me a hug , " heyy charlotte" i say hugging her back. "Call me char" she says while breaking the hug. "Yes noted" I gave her a smile. "So what plans!" I ask them. They give each other a creepy grin. what are they going to do? .

Shopping! Fucking shopping! We are at the mall. "Please don't bring me here ever again" I sigh. "Sorry but we needed a ride, '' scar says tapping my shoulder. Ride? They called me because they didn't have a ride?!". "Srsly!?'' I yelled at them. They laugh at my face.

After a long day I finally lay in my bed. My parents have a house here which is near to the school so lucky me. I couldn't stop thinking about Noah. I felt bad not talking to him so I decided to text him.

Ryder: hey

Read 8.52 pm

Ryder: okay you are reading the message but not replying?

Noah: you did the same.

Ryder: I am sorry, I was just in a bad place that day.

Noah: Well you shouldn't have texted me.

Ryder: I get that you are angry and I am really sorry.

Noah: I don't need your apology Ryder, please dont text me.

Ryder: Don't act like a dick

Noah: look who's telling that

What is wrong with him? I've apologized so many times and he won't let me explain too. I hope tomorrow at school he will let me. I sigh and switch off my phone, he's right I was a dick to him. If I could take it all back I would in an instant but I can't. Noah telling me not to talk to him again hurts me but I know I deserve it. I go to sleep hoping at least tomorrow things will get better..

I was sleeping like a bear and suddenly my rings. I groan, I take my phone from the night stand. It's 3:00 am. It's PANTHER. Why is he calling me!?

"What!" I spat. He laughs "Woah chill" he tells me. "What do you want?" I ask him. "So there is a race on the weekend u wanna come , all the bests of the country are racing. I know that you stopped , at least you can come and see?" he asks. I used to race in cali but i told myself that i won't race in new jersey. The best of the country? It's gonna be fun. "Sure why not" I said to him with an annoyed tone. "Okay goodnight, '' he says. How dare he? After ruining my sleep.

In cali Scar used to come and see me race so she might be interested , maybe I should call her?
