Chapter 5
THEY BOTH WALKED THROUGH THE GARDENS OF THE PLACE THE BALL WAS BEING HELD JUST MAKING SMALL TALK
"You're the most beautiful girl out there tonight- the most beautiful girl I've probably ever seen" anita turned her face away from his as a red coat covered her cheeks but Ryder was quick to turn her head back to face his
He looked down at her, a look of recognition crossing his face. He knew he's seen her before and if this was another circumstance he would say her face she couldn't ever forget. But he wanted more than to know who she was
He hadn't realised how long they stood staring at each other until his hands moved back to his sides and they then both took a seat on a bench
"Tell me about yourself" he spoke yet he didn't know that she tensed up. Anita didn't like to speak about her life at home, it seemed so inferior to everyone else's so she just stopped talking about it
"What about me?"
"What do you do for fun? Who do you surround yourself with? What you want to do with your life. Anything"
"I- I don't really have any hobbies"
"You do" he hummed as he studied her "You just don't want to tell me"
"I read" she muttered and she glanced at him to check if he had any sort of reaction to it
"A reader? I'm assuming you expected a differed reaction from me by your face" she bit her lip and nodded "What did you expect?"
"A bad one. I didn't think someone like you would associate yourself with someone like me"
"Gosh no" Ryder laughed and she blushed a deep red "I don't care that you read, your hobbie could be collecting snails and I wouldn't care. I just want to get to know you. But tell me more" she let out a small huff and thought for a moment
"My parents.. aren't alive anymore" she ignored his remorseful face "And I don't really get along with my step family, but my friends are like my second family so that's good" she stopped talking but he still had a expectant look on his face
"My last question" she thought for a moment
"Well, my family wants me to-"
"No" he cut her off "What do you want to do?"
"I want to be a singer" she mumbled and his eyebrows raised in shock "I know. I want to be a successful one, have an album and publish some songs. Now enough about me" she said waving her hand about so she didn't see his face in case it was a bad one "I want to know about you too, same questions"
"My hobbie is playing football. But it's not what I want to do when I'm older. I have songs out already, and I want to continue in that path. Just keeping football as a hobby"
