C 23 : The start of something I never would have expected PART 2

Ryder was standing down there. With a SLING SHOT in his hand.

"Wait there!" Ryder's sling shot was held at the ready. "Oh- and you might wanna get ready.", he grinned.

"Ready? For what ??", I sounded so confused..

He loaded something in the sling shot and SNAPP !

A box was flung up into the sky. I outstretched my arms and caught it.

It was a small white box with a red ribbon on it. It was no bigger than the size of my palm and it wasn't heavy. For safety precautions, I held the box at a distance.

Whaaat ? It's not entirely my fault that I don't 100% trust Ryder ! He might have put a bug in the box.

You might never know..

I opened it up slowly and carefully. I was relieved when I found a piece of paper folded neatly inside.

I went to the window and I saw Ryder still standing out there. He looked up at me and made a signal with his hands to tell me to open and read the contents of the paper.

I opened the paper slowly and read it.

______________

Bello !!

Tank yu for reading!

I hope you're wondering what's written in the neatly folded paper... What do you think is written in there ?? ^^

Here's what was written in the paper.

" FOLLOW ME TO THE MALL, WILL YOU?

p/s : sorry about the rocks...

-RYDER- "

"There mall??", I shouted out the window. "Seriously ??"

He grinned and said, "Please... I'll buy you food ..", he pleaded.

I changed and went down to meet Ryder.

As soon as I got to him, I slapped his arm and said, "Seriously, Ryder ?? ROCKS??"

"What did you expect - A tissue?"

"Oh, I dunno.. maybe - a knock at the door??"

~

We walked to the Mall. Yep- the MALL.

And yeahh.. we walk alot around here...

We went in and the cool air welcomed us.

First, Ryder bought me some snacks. ~yay~ (Actually, he bought US some snacks)

Then I asked, "Wait- why are we here again?"

Ryder put on a mysterious smile. "You'll see."

~

We went in a laundry shop. I looked at Ryder questioningly.

A man greeted us at the entrance. "Aah- Mr Shane. Here to pick up your drycleaning?"

I stared at Ryder unbelievingly. Then I hissed, "Drycleaning?"

Meanwhile at the Shane household....

Little Aurora Shane was bustling about the house.

"Mummy.. Do you have a long pink ribbon?", she asked her mum. "A pretty pink ribbon", she added.

Mrs. Shane looked for a ribbon in the drawers. The took out a long pink ribbon and handed it to Aurora.

"Thank you, Mummy.." She ran off happily.

OK. Ryder took me to the mall to collect his dry cleaning.

He took the black bag of something that was neatly folded inside. I could tell it was neatly folded because the bag took the shape of a cube .. Well, sort of.. but you get what I mean.

Next, he went to the bookstore. He searched high and low for something, which obviously I have no idea what it was.

"Umm.. maybe you should ask someone?", I suggested.

"Nahh.. I'm good."

I rolled my eyes at his arrogance. Sheesh !

"Aha !! There." he said happily.

"Fi-" He pulled me with him. I stumbled.

"Here it is !" he said proudly and bent down to get that thing we wanted.

I stared at him unbelievingly, my mouth gaping open.

OK. He's really getting on my nerves. I pursed my lips."A PENCIL?"

"Yeah, what do you think I was searching for?" and he walked to the counter to pay.

Unbelievable ! What was he trying to do to me ???

I was losing my patience and had to take MANY deep breaths to calm down.

He left the counter and I met him at the exit. "Ryder, I - "

"OK !", he said happily. "We're done here!"

I relaxed a little.

"Let's go"

I followed him out of the mall.

I wasn't really paying attenton to where we were walking to and I assume that we were walking back to my place, but I found myself standing infront of Ryder's house.
