WALKING IN MY SHOES

52. it's Always Ryan

~ Zack's pov~

The bell rings so I bid Max goodbye and tell him I'll see him after school.

I see Madilyn walking to her locker and there's no Ryan in sight so i think to myself' fuck this is my chance to ask her about the game' so with that thought in mind I make my way over but as I get closer I see Tiffany approach her before me.
I walk slightly slower to see if I could get a glimpse or overhear what she wants from Lyn.

She pushes Madilyn making be clench my jaw but I stay put.

"Hey you ugly bitch...I warned you stay away from Zack " Tiffany says making Madilyn sigh in annoyance.

' I always knew Tiffany was crazy...at this rate I might even file a restraining order against her...who does she think she is? busy threatening people to stay away from me'.

"This again?... listen Tiffany I have no interest in stealing your boyfriend so please just leave me alone" Madilyn says.

"I saw him wink at you lunch time...so back off his mine" Tiffany says making me roll my eyes and decided to make my presents known.

"I don't belong to anyone " I say making Tiffany turn around in shock.

"Zack-" she starts but I cut her off.

"I think I made it pretty clear this morning that I want nothing to do with you but nothing get's past that thick skull of yours does it?...so stop telling people I'm 'Yours'...and if anyone should stay away from someone...it should be you away from Madilyn" I say seriously.

I walk forward to make sure that I'm standing directly infront of her and bend down to her eye level.

"If you ever trouble Maddy again... I'll make your life a living hell" I say threateningly in a low husk.

"I don't understand...you hate that bitch... you've bullied her years and now all of a sudden you care what I do to her" Tiffany says in disbelief looking from a quiet Lyn to me.

"I don't hate her" I say
'its quite the opposite actually'.

"I mean what I said though... leave " I say glaring at her and her minions making them cower...she gives me and lyn both death stares but leave nonetheless.

"Hey cupcake" I say turning around and smiling at Lyn making a light pink tone dust her cheeks.

"Hey... don't call me that" she says smiling but has a cute little frown at my pet name for her. I smile down at her and tap her on the nose with my index finger... she's to cute I don't know what's happening to me. it's like the little interaction with Tiffany is long forgotten with just a smile from Lyn.

"What was all of that about?" she asks pushing a strained of hair behind her ear.

"Nothing" I say innocently making her roll her eyes.

"So you and Tiffany broke up?" she asks looking up at me with this almost hopeful look warming my heart.

"yeah... We were never dating to begin with" I say laughing and ruffle her hair.

"Try telling her that" she says smacking my hand away.

"I did...a couple of times actually " I say laughing making her smile.

cute

"Uhm...do you want something?" she asks clearing her throat.

"Actually I do...we are... friends right?" I say slowly a wave of hesitation and nervousness hitting me like a train.

"Yeah" she says dragging the word out looking at me curiously but skeptically.

"Soooo would you... maybe like to come...to my game this weekend" I say nervously, she looks shocked to say the least making me even more nervous.

"I mean...Lexi is going to be there because of Max and I don't know I just thought I'd invite you too, I mean it's okay if you say no, I get it I was a dick to you so you probably don't want to go but I just thought that since we friends now and-  I'm sorry I should go" I say realising I was rambling, it was like my mouth had a mind of it's own.

I make a move to walk away but she grabs my hand to stop me.

"I- that's really sweet of you...and I would love to see you play and kick ass but I kinda have plans this weekend so-" she says and I feel something inside me deflate.

"Yeah totally it's okay " I say masking my disappointment with a tight lipped smile.

"So what plans do you have for this weekend " I say breaking the awkwardness.

"Well...Ryan asked me out...so we going on a date" she says hesitantly and it was like the roof just fell on me or atleast I wish it would because that would be much easier to take...if I was disappointed before it felt like something had creaked in my now...

' It's always fucking Ryan '.

I clench my jaw...how could I be such a fucking fool.

"Great have fun on your date" I say it like it burns my tongue and walk away... suddenly feeling my whole mood dim.
