Rules of seduction

I hate you

'Hey' I say as I get in the car.
He is tensed, I can tell that.
'How was it?' he asks calmly. It feels like it took alot of strength for him to say that.
I keep staring at my shoes and don't look up. I don't know why but around him I feel so nervous.
He has no effect on me whatsoever but still a part me wants him to like me.
'It was good' I say with confidence. I don't want him thinking, that I don't care about this mission.
'That's great' he says. I notice a small smile. I made Ryen smile. I can tell he is relieved.
'Well, I made enemies with a girl named Hailey and now we are so called friends. I went on a breakfast with a teacher, and now everyone thinks I have a crush on a 40 year old.'
Obviously I don't say that. Somethings are better hidden. Especially the breakfast part. It wasn't a date. He didn't say it. Nor did I.
But still, it's better not to tell him.
15 minutes in the car and the aura is filled with awkwardness.
Until I open my big mouth and start talking about his music taste. He is taken back. I never showed any interest in his opinions. He doesn't listen to so much music. Great. Fuck my life.
My one attempt at making a conversation.
'Who was that girl? You were with a girl day before yesterday.'
.....
I dont know why I asked that. I wanted to know. Who was she. She had his interest. I know that.
'That was Candy, she was my partner in my previous mission.'
Lies.
I don't call him out though.
I know she didn't work at the fbi, she didn't have an id. Ryen lied to me.
It affected me.
I didn't wanna be in the same car as him. It's suffocating. He clearly doesn't trust me and still doesn't want to. He still thinks I am a scum and that I don't deserve this job. I have honestly given up any hope with becoming friends with Ryen. He is clearly not interested in talking to me. He doesn't want anything with me unless it's concerned with the mission. He is a selfish dick. I don't like him. He drops me off at my apartment and I run inside.
It was so humiliating.
To be lied. Right to my face.
To distract my mind, I open my phone and start texting Jacob. Jacob is the one I need right now.
I notice that Noah sent me a friend request on instagram.
The agency made an instagram account for Emma to 'blend' in.
Noah wanted to follow me.
I accept his request and start to see his profile.
Most of his posts were about sex education. Rest were his trips photos, Hailey commented on all of them.
There was one photo in particular, Noah standing on a beach with a kid, his brother probably. God Hailey was making sure Noah knew she was interested. Too bad she failed to see that he wasn't. She is so delusional.
I keep scrolling through instagram, until I receive a message from Ryen.
He was asking me I followed a suspicious person. I told he worked at my school and met me today. That dick left me on read. I hate being left on read.
Okay it's fine, calm down.
Ugh he pisses me off so much.
