⤷ For as long as they could remember, Brooke and Ryland had hated each other to the very limit. No matter what it came to - sports, tests, social lifestyles - anything the other did gave them a bad taste in their mouths.

GREEK TRAGEDY :: xxviii. | best mistake
The three continued to chat but moved it to the roof, outside of Ryland's window. The laughing and giggling couldn't stop amongst the three. It felt like old times but the only one missing was Chad. Before Lucas, Alexa and Haley, it was just them four. Then they met those three and their small friend group got a little bigger. They decided that seven was enough and since then it's been that way.
However, the dynamic kind of shifted when Lucas and Ashely got together but they didn't let their breakup affect anything which was kind of them to do and also the Lucas and Chad falling out didn't help either.
And now Ryland can't stop thinking the worst in a happy matter right then. She was enjoying her time with her friends, but all she could think of was Brooke and Chris.
"I'm sorry, guys. I feel like I'm killing the mood." Ryland briefly paused, "What do you think they're doing?"
Jay looked to her, "If you're that worried then go to her."
"It's not that I'm worried, it's that I know we're not dating dating but I thought she'd care enough to not ask anyone out."
"Again, go talk to her." Jay pulled the joint from between his lips, "Because just sitting here and venting isn't going to do much."
Ryland sat there for a moment or two before getting up to head back in the room. She was going to go talk to Brooke and explain her thoughts. She just wanted the burnette to understand and acknowledge her feelings about everything.
After a ten minute drive to Haley's place, Ryland parked in one of the many empty spaces before getting out the car. She soon headed to the staircase and walked up, eventually running into Tree Hill's it couple.
"Hey." Ryland's tone was soft, "Is Brooke awake?"
"She was, but that was like twenty minutes ago." Nathan replied with his arm around Haley. The couple was standing on the balcony, talking when Ryland came up.
The blonde nodded with a smile and headed through the door. She walked to the room and knocked on the door, "Hey, it's me." Ryland opened the door and walked in. If only she could've prepared herself for what she was going to see.
She felt like it was the whole Lucas and Peyton situation again, but Chris wasn't a friend and the only one to blame is Brooke.
As soon as she saw, she immediately closed the door back and began to rush out of there all while Brooke was quickly putting clothes back on.
