Game Set Match

ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ꜰɪꜰᴛʏ ꜰᴏᴜʀ

This week really sucks, like this week is bad. It is Feuds week in glee club, since Finn admitted that he kissed Ms. Pillsbury and that is the reason she ran away from the altar which embarrassed Mr. Shue.

Jake and Marley forgave each other and they are back on speaking terms again. Jake still won't talk to Ryder, but I mean that is a given. I guess I should talk to Ryder soon, this week has been really tough on us.

I walked down the hallway carrying my backpack, heading to the gym. Ryder called me and told me that there was something he wanted to talk to me about. So I guess I really had to come here.

"You trying to get me to play basketball with you again? I won't go easy on you." I chuckled at him and walked into the gym.

"First of all, I was surprised that you said you weren't mad at me." Ryder said to me as he sat down on the bleachers.

I kept walking and sat down next to him. "Jake and Marley already made up with each other soo...." I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Can we make up just like they did?" Ryder raised his eyebrows at me.

"Do you think we aren't fine? We are fine Ryder?" I said to him.

"I just want to skip class and stay here to talk with you until we forget about time." Ryder smiles at me.

"How is your day?" I asked him.

"Kind of bad. Wade told me to back off and called me a poser." Ryder says to me.

"He did?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Yeah, and he protests when I called her dude oh and he told me that he is a proud black woman. Then he pushed my shoulder as he walked away." Ryder says to me. "I am just confused, today he is wearing a dress but yesterday he was wearing boy clothes."

"Why don't you do the feud assignment with him? Look, I don't get it everyone in the glee club is at war with each other. It's like I'm living in world war three, but I don't have anyone to fight against." I said to him.

"Did I ever tell you that you are the smartest woman I ever met?" Ryder smiles at me.

"You just did." I giggled. I took my phone out of my pocket and texted Artie. "Okay so, I texted Artie and told him we should do a fake feud." I said to Ryder.

"Like what?" Ryder asks me.

"Like Elton John with Madonna. Like when he called Madonna a stripper and then they had a decade-long feud." I said to Ryder, standing up from my seat.

"Where are you going?" Ryder raises his eyebrows at me.

"To meet Artie and Wade to discuss the feuds. Come on." I said to Ryder, taking his hand.

"Did I ever tell you that you are hot and a genius at the same time?" Ryder chuckles at me.

"Tease me again and I won't help you." I simply said to him.

"But you want to be mine right?" Ryder smirks at me.

"Stop it." I giggled at him and kept walking with him down the hallway.

Jo, I mean it." Ryder stops walking. "I already told you that I love you and I meant it. You're single and I'm single, and you are the most amazing woman that I have ever met. You told me that you like me, so what are you waiting for? I totally moved on from Marley and it's because of you. You're the only thing I see now. I wanted to give you those valentine's gifts but you weren't there and I just lost my mind and I was lost." Ryder held my hands.

"Ryder, I-I...."

"What?"

"Give me more time to think about it. I am still trying to fight my instinct on this. Please." I half-smiled at him.

"Okay, but promise me that once you think about it you will say yes." Ryder grins at me.

"Depends." I grin back at him. "Okay we better go." I said to him.

"I won't give up on you that easily this time." Ryder simply said.

I just chuckled and kept walking down the hallway with him. Yeah I know he won't give up that easily, but I'm still fighting my instinct about this. I don't want to hurt him because he is special to me.
