The next few days went by weirdly. Ryder and I wouldn't talk to each other. We tried our hardest to never be left alone together. It's not that I didn't want to, it's just I was hurt. Every time I saw him, all I could think about was him leaving and it threw me off big time.
Classes for me were going well. I turned in a lot of work and got my grades up. Xioe and I would study more often and Josh would sometimes join. When they weren't around me, they were with Ryder. It had almost been two weeks since we last spoke. It was awkward. I knew that I would either get very emotional or very horny, either way, neither were good. I wanted to cry when I saw him but I also wanted to have him bend me over one of the library chairs and fuck me right there.
The bell rang for me to head to class and I did. On my way there I spotted Josh and Ryder. I tried to turn away but Josh had already seen me. He called out for me and told me to wait up. I stopped walking and waited for him.
"Hey, L."
"Hey, Josh."
God this was so awkward. Ryder was standing right there and I had to pretend like I didn't see him.
"Sooo, how's the classes going?"
"Good."
"And how's the books?"
"Love them."
"Yeah, that's the spirit. Now if you'll excuse me I need to find Xioe buuuut, Ryder can walk you to class. How about it? Ok? Ok. Love ya, bye."
And just like that he left, leaving me and Ryder alone. I knew what he was doing but I wasn't going to fall for it.
"Well if this isn't awkward." Ryder said.
"You know you don't have to walk me, I can walk myself."
"Nonsense, I think I should. Besides, you did ghost me for almost two weeks."
Damn him and his nonchalant ass.
"So, how have you been?" I asked.
"Can we cut the crap and skip to the part where you tell me why you were ignoring me. Or am I being too blunt for you."
I swear sometimes I hate him and his dumb, sexy ass. Btw, he has an amazing ass.
"I asked you a question."
"And I'll answer it after you answer mine."
"Your's was more of a demand than a question."
"Yeah but I deserve a response."
"Yeah, well, so do I."
"Do you really though?"
I huffed out of annoyance, "Yes, yes I do."
"Well you might get one just not right now."
"Well if I don't get one then I guess you don't either."
"Well if I don't get one I'll just fuck it out of you."
Damn he was good but I was even better.
"Fuck me then."
He didn't look as shocked as I thought he would, he just stared at me.
"Oh how I wish I could but class is about to start and do you really want to mess up your good grades already."
"You're right, so I guess no answer. Sorry not sorry."
I pushed past him but he grabbed my arm.
"I remember saying that I was walking you."
