(UNDER MAJOR EDITING)
IF THE STORYLINE SEEMS OFF, IT IS DUE TO RECENT EDITING. SORRY.
What would you do if your friend betrayed you?
That's exactly what happened to Ava Reeves. Her long time friend Ryder Jacobs ditched her a year ago, and not just...

Over the course of the next few days, Ryder and I bonded really well together. I would ski while he snowboarded and we would have races of who can get down the hill first. If he won I would stop suddenly right In front of him making snow blast up and in his face. I couldn't exactly let him get away unscathed after cheating, since we all know that I'm the real winner here! It was an excellent kind of fun that I hadn't had in so long. And the weirdest thing was it wasn't really awkward for us to talk, it was just as if we never had a fight. It seemed almost natural. Our parents were also really surprised to see us together again. They questioned me but I just told them that Ryder and I were just trying to make the most out of this trip. Which is the truth, we made the deal so that we could enjoy the trip and so that the petty rivalry wouldn't ruin anything.
After skiing/snowboarding we would go to the cafeteria where they had really good meals. I ordered something different every time while Ryder just stuck with a plain old hamburger. He is pretty boring like that, not trying to be rude or anything. I mean I guess it's okay to stick to the safe stuff. Sometimes you want things to not change, not ever. Somethings you can control, like what you eat, and sometimes you can't, like your friendships. It's astonishing how we became strangers so quickly and I know that even though we aren't close anymore if he ever truly came back I would still be there. Even though everything has changed I still care about him. That got really deep really quick.
On today's topic we were talking about Kim Kardashian's new child and how they named him Saint. Honestly who names the child North West and Saint West?
"Did you see that tweet by some man? He was joking about how the West family would name their child that and it was like a month ago and now they did." I say.
"No I don't! Who would name their child that I honestly pity them. They are going to get bullied for it when they grow up" He replied back. I loved how we could talk to each other with such interest. It's like we never stopped being friends. And I almost believe that it's true.
"Yeah everyone on Instagram is talking about it. And I don't really think that would happen I mean they are famous! Plus it won't affect them as much since they know how to deal with it already."
"It doesn't matter if they know how to deal with it, it's still going to hurt them! It's not like all of a sudden they aren't human and don't have humane feeling because they are famous. They will be taught how to hide it not how to not have feelings." He exclaimed.
"I'm not saying it won't affect them at all i'm just saying not as much. Plus there famous people will be a lot more accepting." I argue.
"You know what it doesn't matter." Mason finishes the argument probably because he knows that I won.
After we finish eating, we head to the nearest ski lift. "I hate this ski lift! It goes so slow and it swings back and forth!" I proclaim.
"Ava, this isn't the worst one, have you seen the one on the right, over there?" he says pointing to the right, "now that one sucks". He's got a point.
"True" I say.
"Wanna have a race?" He says changing the subject. He knows I'm gonna lose. Even though I act all confident I know he's quicker.
"Sure okay, but you have to go through the trees and jump on the ramp thing. And it starts right when we get off the ski lift." I reply matter of factly. I am a lot quicker at getting off and starting because it's easier for me to jump off.
"Deal" Although he snowboards and has do his strap on his feet, I always take off my ski poles so I have to put those on quickly. He smirks at me. Ryder is so cocky.
Right when we get off the ski lift, I quickly put my ski poles on and race down. I look back to see if he is catching up with me, and to my luck he is. Great, he's catching up! Note the heavy sarcasm. I go through the little entrance through the trees and get ready for the jump. This is my favourite part. I jump out of the opening and zoom down the rest of the hill. I can't see Ryder anywhere, which is good because he probably fell. Which is unlikely but what I'm hoping for otherwise I pretty much have no chance.
As I'm nearing to the bottom I feel confident until I see Ryder drive by me. Wow, I was soo close! He waits for me at the bottom, and just to show my anger I stop suddenly so that snow blasts in his face.
"Are you mad that I beat you? I'll let you win next round if you want." Mocking me now is he?
"I can defeat you if I want to, I was just going easy on you. And besides I don't wanna race anymore. This is my last time and then I'm going inside."
He justs laughs in my face. That is so inconsiderate of him.
"Ava, just admit I'm the best snowboarder there is out there. And yeah, I'm coming inside too. My feet are cold." Whenever he says my name it reminds me of all the good times we had. I know that if he needs me he'll call me if he still cares he'll show me and if doesn't then after this trip it will be a final goodbye. Because I am not stupid enough to stay around if he doesn't need me anymore. I know that I deserve better than to follow my past around if it doesn't care about me.
We head up the ski lift and down the hill and then head into the hotel. I take off my snow pants and jacket and everything. I love my jacket and pants they look so nice. My pants were a solid white which contrasted great with my dark jacket that had colourful chevron stripes on it.
Currently we were in my hotel room that I shared with Lia and Chloe deciding on what to do. The girls and Jake were at a local arcade playing a few games all day. Why on Earth would they go to an arcade when they could ski/snowboard is beyond me. The kids in this generation are neglectful to the many joys this world has to offer. Ryder picks out a movie which happens to be pitch perfect. I love this movie. He seems to be loving it as well as he literally laughs at everything they say. It's at this moment that I realize that we used to be such good friends and that was all just taken away because of a stupid girl he's dating.
I ask him the question that I was dying to ask ever since this road trip started but was too scared to do so,
"What happened between us? We were such good friends. We used to hang out all the time. It was fun and happy and now it's just... gone. Why?" Could he really give me an honest answer, and even if he didn't end up dumping for Rebecca would we really still be friends now?
"Ava, I don't even remember what happened. It was a long time ago. Can we just forget about it?" I frown. I'm upset, hasn't he felt good these last few days. We bonded so well as if we were literally brother and sister. And I know he's lying I remind him often enough that he disposed of me because he started dating Rebecca. It tortures me to see my old and hopefully new best friend dispose of our friendship so easily.
He sees my agonized look and leans in. I know that I should appreciate this last moment that I have full control over my own heart because I don't know it at the moment but everything is going to change from this moment on.
He kisses me.

Thought I would leave you with what I hope is a sweet ending. I hope to update three more times this winter break.
