(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...

It's the strangest feeling, full of things I don't understand, both comfort and confusion, but one thing I'm sure of is that I feel safe. I feel safe with Ryder. It's been a week since Ryder and I became friends again. Lots of things have happened. The biggest probably being Ryder and I walking into school together.
"So what's going to happen today? Are we going to act like friends at school?" I ask while frowning at Ryder who is sitting on my couch while I pack my bag. Today Ryder said he would drive me and I had informed Zoe and Sarah that they needed to find another ride.
"Yeah of course we will, why wouldn't we? Remember I said that I want to be friends again?" Ryder replies. Finally I get him to get off of his lazy butt. We chitchatted while we drove peacefully to school, well almost. The closer we got to school the more apprehensive I got. What were people going to think? Who cares what they're going to think! They can stuff their judgment into the back of their sock drawer where it can get lost in the never ending abyss for all I care. Ryder drove unto the parking lot harshly sending me flying against the window. When he finally stopped I punched him, and I punched him hard. Well I hope so, I am definitely going to be checking later if there's bruising later.
"Hey what was that for?" Ryder exclaims.
"Oh I don't know might have something to do with the fact that you almost made me crack my head open on your window!" How inconsiderate of him.
"I didn't make you do anything." Ryder announces as he gets out of the car. I follow him continuing the conversation, not noticing that relatively everyone in the schoolyard is staring at us. Why does everyone care what I'm doing? I quickly realise that they don't actually care about what i'm doing but they're more interested in Ryder and why he's hanging out with the girl that slapped him a couple weeks ago. Everyone is so judgemental all the time. Who cares if someone had a change of heart, who cares if two ex-friends are friends again. They dont know whats going on, they have just entered the story. They weren't there yesterday when Ryder apologized to me. They don't understand.
Suddenly Rebecca comes running. She seems crazed, more so than usual. None of her so called friends are following her. They stand in a corner staring her seeming to be scared of this new but true side of Rebecca. "Ryder what are you doing with that dog?" She screeches. Then she leans in closer and whispers harshly, loud enough so I can still hear. "You're ruining your image! The one I worked very hard to build up for you." This chick is unbelievable!
"Rebecca you need to calm down, okay. You may be my girlfriend but that doesn't give you the right to antagonize my friends." Ryder replies a lot calmer than I expected. "And just to let you know, you did nothing to my reputation except for destroying it and making me this terrible person who betrays his best friends for no reason other than you being jealous of them." Is that really what happened? " If you can't stand her then we're done!" Does he really mean that?
