Too young for true love

Awkward Stories

Tiny A/N:
Okay so you may have noticed, but last chapter, I accidentally calling Ryan Tyler. I took a break from the book for a while and so when I started again, I was convinced that his name was Tyler. But I was reading over my book and I realized what I did. So I am so sorry if I made the story confusing. I went through and fixed it, but I just wanted to let y'all 2

I stood up and grabbed a draw-string bag off of Jack's dresser. In it, I put a half-drinken water bottle, my wallet, my notebook, and my phone with a charger.

"Ok, well I guess I'm off."

I left through Jack's bedroom window. I landed my feet on the ground by our trash cans where a bunch of broken beer bottles lay. I ran over to my bike and quickly rode out of our neighborhood.

I didn't actually know where I was going to go, but I told Jack the library so he wouldn't worry. But now I am just sort of riding.

After about 20 minutes of riding towards a strip mall, my phone buzzed. It was Ryan.

"Hey"

ugh not now Ryan. I kept riding until I got to a stop sign. Then my phone buzzed again. But this time it wasn't Ryan.

"Where are you"

it was my dad. no way I am telling him.

I stopped after about an hour of riding at a coffee shop. I parked my bike outside and went in. And then I saw him. He was with a bunch of his friends. Ryan. I guess this is a hangout spot after School?
I went to sit at an empty table, trying to stay out of a Ryan's sight. I put my bag on the table and sat down. Pulling my Wallet out of my bag, I saw someone appear In front of me.

"Hey, Cass"
Darn it. I looked up, faking a smile. And after years of cheer, which I had to quit when my mom married my stepdad, I have learned how to paste on a believable smile.
"Hey, why'd you leave you're friends?" I asked, actually wanting to know.
Then he sat down. He sat down. Right next to me.
"oh it's fine. They won't miss me."

It was kind of hard to see him just leaving his friends to talk to me. I mean I am not that interesting. I mean he was nice when he had no one else to talk to, but it's kinda weird for him to choose me over everyone else. But it's definitely not a problem. I am very okay with it.

"So, you don't have you answer this, but do you want to tell me about what happened earlier today?"

"Um" I wasn't totally sure what he was talking about.

He cleared his throat. "You know, uh, the whole running from the cafeteria thing."

Shoot.

"uh, well. You see" Now that I started talking, I have to finish.

He grabbed my hand and looked me in the eyes. " I just want you to know that I am here for you. You can tell me anything.

Ugh Ryan you really aren't making this easy.
I waited a few moments to think. I can tell him anything. This may sound crazy but he is my closest friend and I know that I can tell him anything. I haven't ever told anyone before, but there is a first time for everything right?

As I started talking, I felt the tears coming, but I held them back.

"I... I.. Uh"
His Crystal Blue eyes were looking into my soul. I could almost hear my conscience saying:

Tell him

"Um I..."

No Don't Tell Him

"You see here..."

Tell Him. It will make it better.

"I...I..."

Or worse.

"I... I just have never been late to class and I didn't want a scratch on my record. It was a bad morning for me and I didn't eat breakfast, so I was totally in a bad mood. Just I uh over reacted is all."

He raised his eyebrow in disbelief. I knew I had to add something to make it believable. I totally didn't want to, but I did.

"And I am, uh, on my period."

Shoot. He had a shocked expression then cleared his voice.

" Oh!" he laughed, trying to act cool about it. " I guess that makes sense. hmm...."

I tried to laughed, but it came out a nervous laugh.

There was a long awkward silence. And after a freaking minute, he said, "Alright, uh, well I should probably get back to my friends now."

We hugged, and It was amazing. But then he quickly walked away.

I stayed at the coffee shop for a few more hours, thinking about Ryan, my Dad, and Jack. By, ten o'clock, I was heading home.

On the ride home, I was still thinking of better ways to handle the situation that wouldn't of scared him off. And believe me, there weren't many. I mean, it wasn't like I said I was pregnant or anything. What I said happens to all girls at my age, I mean it's pretty normal.

When I got home, I quietly opened the door and went straight to my room.
