Ryan's pov
"I'm going out now" I called over my shoulder
"Okay dear" mum said. Leaving the house I took my time driving to Zoe's house; thinking of what I was going to say to her. How was I going to say that I actually liked her and wanted to be with her? She hates me and I don't blame her. I've been treating her like shit and for what, popularity? It was good for awhile with all the girls and attention but seeing the looks I'd get from Zoe were cold, hard looks of plain hatred. I pulled up and picked up some pebbles and stones I found and hoped she would wake up if she was asleep. One, no answer, two, still nothing, third time lucky? No. I chucked another one only realising as I let it go she had opened the window up. Shit.
"Sorry didn't see you there" I called up after I had realised it did hit her.
"Right, what do you want?" She called down with coldness.
"I want to talk" I called.
"Why?"
"I'm bored"
"Sleep then like everyone else is doing then"
"Come on. Have some fun. Come down!" She looked around and gave into my bait and climbed out her window and jumped down. Just like she use to when we were friends. As she stood up I have her one of my dorky grins that I haven't shown in years.
"So, what do we do now?" she questioned.
I stood thinking for awhile then said the tree. Zoe looked surprised jut happy with it. She nodded and climbed into my car; driving on silence we finally arrived and walked to the tree and Zoe started to climb it with me following suit behind her.
"So what was it you wanted to talk about or whatever?" She roughly asked
"I still occasionally skate" I tried but could tell she wasn’t going to take it. She wanted the truth.
"Okay. Cool? What do you really want to 'talk' or 'say'?" I paused for awhile thinking about how I should tell her how I like her. How do I put it without her thinking it’s a joke?
"Look, I don't know how to put this" I started
"Open your mouth and annunciate the words?" She smirked. I miss her smart ass remarks. But most of all, smirk.
"Just don't attack me okay?" Remembering the punch she recently gave me not so long ago. I could still feel it, doesn’t help she left a bruise.
"I will try my best”
"Okay" I felt my phone vibrate and saw it was Cole calling.
"Hey Ryan you free?" Cole’s voice came from the other end.
"Yeah"
"Well I just scored with Melissa from bio"
"Nice one"
"She was good man"
"Okay"
"I can set you two up for the night man. She's more than willing. What do you say?"
"Sure"
"Cool" Cole hung up. He just knew how to ruin a moment. I looked at my phone and saw I had to be home soon. I told Zoë I had to go, not mentioning Melissa, knowing it would ruin it when I did tell Zoë I liked her. I dropped Zoe home and drove off then drove off to where ever it was Cole told me to meet him and Melissa.
"Dude what took you so long?" Cole called out. With him a blonde wearing the shortest skirt ever and a shirt with her boobs over looking like they were trying to escape their fate of suffocation.
"Weights" I turned and smiled at the girl who tried to look seductive but failed. Instead she looked like on orange with black eyes.
"Cool, so this is Melissa. The chick I told you about" he said with a wink.
"Ha-ha guessed that much" he pushed me towards her and left because he had to go and get some ‘groceries’ leaving me and Melissa to do whatever.
Melissa turned ad started to talk but I tuned out very quickly. Thinking how close I was to saying how much I really liked Zoë. But I didn't. I took too long. I was chicken. I was too slow and now I'm stuck with Melissa. Great, this was going to be fun.
“Ryan?” She said snapping me out of my thoughts
“Huh?”
“What do you think of that freak Zoe? I mean you used to be friends with... with that thing”
“Uh yeah I did”
“Well what do you think of the freak? So do you have any juicy goss about her?” Mellissa stopped turning to me and running her hand on my torso.
“Not much I’d rather spend my time of thinking about girls like you” I gave her one of my biggest smirks, making her smile flirtatiously at me and do that annoying giggle that girls do. We carried on walking for awhile when she turned towards me asking to see my house and wanting to come stay over as she was ‘tired’
“Sure, we can do what ever you want” I say wrapping my arm around her shoulder, her head resting on it. As we headed to my car I couldn’t help but wish that it was Zoe coming back to mine, Zoe’s head on my shoulder. I needed something to take my mind off her, Melissa being the best way to distract my self.
I watched as Melissa climbed on top of me slowly undoing my shirt. She lent in and we started making out. I reach her hips and pulled her even closer to me; moving my hands up her body, removing her shirt with out breaking the kiss. Taking her bra off and flipping her over straight away. I reached to my draws next to my bed and grabbed one of the condoms in it and put it on. Looking down at Melissa I couldn’t help but think of Zoe and couldn’t help but wish that I was having sex with her rather than Melissa. Melissa rolled off me then she snuggled next to me, one thing for sure Cole was right, Melissa was good; she also managed to take my mind off Zoe for awhile. I put my arm around her and watched as she fell asleep. Finally no more talking from her, at least for now. Not long after I fell asleep too.
Melissa left early in the morning with a few of the other girls from her group at school. Picking up my phone seeing texts from Cole asking about how my night was. After replying to him I had a shower and watched movies for the rest of the morning.
