Collide With Me

Chapter T H I R T Y S E V E N

"Wait, tell me everything that happened" Marilyn asked. It was lunch time and we were sitting together, obviously.

"Okay, he took me out on a picnic date, we talked about each other and stuff. Then he kissed me and then he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. There, end of story" replied.

"Hold up, you're dating Bryan?" David all of a sudden came in, hearing our conversation. He sat on the table after putting his food down.

I nodded, "this is so exciting!" Marilyn squealed.

"Oh poor Ryan" David said. Ryan? Why Ryan? What's the big deal about Ryan that if I date Bryan, it will affect Ryan?

"What about Ryan?" I asked.

"He's going to be so upset that you're dating Bryan"

"No, he won't. Shut up, David"

"Hey, what are you guys talking about?" Ryan came in and sat beside Marilyn.

"Oh just about how Melissa is dating Bryan and how they went on a date yesterday" David replied to Ryan.

Ryan raised his eyebrows, "you're dating Bryan?" He asked me.

"Yes, what's the problem with that?" I nodded. He sounds jealous, but it's impossible.

"You're going to end up hurt, I'm telling you" he told me. Since when does he care about my well-being?

"No, I won't. You're just jealous"

"Jealous? Of who? Bryan? Why would I be jealous of him? Get a reality check, Melissa" he said as he got up and left.

"What's his problem?" Marilyn asked and I shrugged.

"Told you he'd be upset" David said. Why was he so upset? So if I'm dating Bryan? It has nothing to do with him. My life, I get to choose who I want to date.

If he has a problem with me dating Bryan, then he should just tell me straight away. I like Bryan and I want to keep him as my boyfriend, so Ryan should just not be upset and let me have my own happiness. Who is he to tell me that I'll get hurt?

***(waking home)***

I was walking home right now and I was about to go inside my house but I saw someone next door, standing there on the porch. That next door house was Ryan's house.

I saw him exhale some smoke then he brought his hand up to place something on his lips. Was he smoking? Well, nah then.

Instead of opening the door to my house, I went towards his. The strong smell of cigarettes immediately hit my senses, "Ryan?" I call out to him.

He looked at me, "oh hey" he threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it.

"You smoke?"

"Yeah" he said casually, like it was no big deal. I raised my eyebrows at him, "I do, just not when anyone is around"

"Why? Why in the world do you smoke?"

"I don't know" he shrugged, "just to get my mind off things"

"You can get your mind off things by doing something else, you know? Something other than smoking"

"I'm used to smoking. It's better than everything else"

"No, it's not!"

"Why are you here telling me I shouldn't be smoking? Shouldn't you be with your boyfriend or something?" he told me as he turned around to go inside his house.

I didn't reply to him, but I just went inside my own house. Idiot.
