Chapter 6- Is This All Real

"You should a, come with me, today," Ryder said making me turn to look at him. He hadn't talked to me the whole class period until just now.

"What?"

"You should come with me." He said blatantly, though he reeked of nervousness. He writhed his hands while trying to keep a confident smile.

"You mind telling me where?"

"Oh yea, its a concert. Its a few hours away but its gonna be so sick." His face lit up when he said sick and it intrigued me. If the thought of this concert could stop his nerves its most definitely not going to be boring.

"Hmmm......I'll think about it." I answered then turned to face the board.

"Are you kidding me?" He asked almost awestruck at my answer.

"Yea....I want to go with you Ryder.....I.....really do,"

"Really?" He asked his smile growing wide.

"Yea." His smile grew so big that I smiled, a warm tingly feeling crept over my body and we sat their just smiling at each other.

"I'll see you by your locker after school," he smirked then leaned in to the desk and wrote down the notes on the board.

*******

"So, you excited?" Ryder asked nearly scaring the living crap out of me. He was leaning against the lockers next to mine and my locker door covered him so I couldn't see him until I slammed my locker shut.

"Oh my go...Ryder you scared the crap out of me."

"Sorry, but really though are you excited?" He chuckled a little then his face grew serious.

"Yea, I'd like to know who were seeing though."

"Oh you're gonna love this, the concert is Fall Out Boy, Imagine Dragons, The Vamps, One Republic, Calvin Harris and Shawn Mendes."

"Are you serious?"

"So serious, and to top it off we have floor seats." He flashed the tickets in his hands and I grabbed one. "Front row."

"Oh my gosh Ryder, oh my, no ones ever done anything like this for me. Oh my gosh, thank you so much," I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly. He hugged back ands we lingered there for a little bit, inside, deep inside, I enjoyed it.

"Anytime,"

"Those are seriously all my favorite artists. Oh my gosh I can't believe this. You're the best."

"It took you so long to realize." He smirked and put an arm around me as we walked out the door towards his car.

"You think Shawn Mendes is gonna be sick?" I asked once it all sunk in.

"Yea....is there something wrong with that?" He said awkwardly.

"I just didn't take you as a Shawn Mendes type of guy."

"I'm not I was just messing with ya, I like Fall Out Boy and Imagine Dragons though."

"Ooh nice, but really Shawn Mendes, he's my favorite I know the words to literally all of his songs." I said dreamily.

"If I didn't know any better I'd say you like him better than me." Ryder replied cockily.

"Are you on crack, its Shawn freaking Mendes of course I do."

"Wow, you really know how to break a guys heart huh?"

"Im sorry its hard to beat Shawn Mendes it's just the truth."
