Chapter 35: Back To The Old Ways

Xander's POV

Watching what was happening in front of me felt like I was repeatedly get punched.

Stone was right, Ryder is just another richie.

* * *

Its been a couple days since Ryder took me on our date. I did not picture him an ACDC fan.

Everythings been going pretty smoothly now, but I have this feeling that Ryder isn't telling me something. He seems kinda distant. Which is okay, I just wish he would talk to me if something was bothering him.

I was currently walking to Panera to get some bagels, when my went off. It was an unknown number, but was from around here so I answered.

"Hello," I said, as I continued to walk.

"Xander Miles, yeah?" The voice was rough and scratchy.

"Yes, who is this?" I questioned.

"Doesn't matter, but its 'bout your richie boyfriend. He cheatin' you. You ain't have to believe, but it the truth," He then hung up.

Ryder cheating on me? That doesn't sound right, but maybe I don't know Ryder that well.

About an hour later, I got a text from that same number saying 'Go to school, back parking'

I quickly got on my bike, that I haven't rode in what seems like forever. The school was about a ten minute drive away from the school. I pulled up and dropped my kickstand down.

My phone went off again and this it was Ryder calling. I answered and was frozen in place from what I heard.

"....she's just a toy, I swear babe, nothing more..." Definitely Ryder.

A dramatic sigh was heard next, "...but why are you being nice to the Devil, come one Ry this was the plan... get that hoe wrapped around your finger and then crush her..." Some girl spoke with such disgust and hatred.

Ryder spoke the same way. The call soon ended and I just stared at my phone, that is until I heard someone cleared their throat.

"What a pity, Xander Miles is heartbroken. And she didn't even know she was being played by another richie," Stone said with a smirk.

I narrowed my eyes at him, but didn't reply.

"You don't belive that call, do you?"

I didn't answer.

He smirked again, "See for yourself,

I opened the door that lead into the foyer, I heard a high - pitch giggle from my right I quickly followed it and sure enough Ryder was against a locker with his hands on a red headed girl's hips, while she was pressed against him kissing him.

Watching what was happening in front of me felt like I was repeatedly getting punched.

Stone was right, Ryder is just another richie.

As much as I wanted to go cry....I wanted to show these richies what it's like to cross a Miles.

I leaned on a locker my arms crossed, and cleared my throat. The girl stepped away and I couldn't belive who I was seeing.

Fox.

This bitch had such an innocent look on her face, but if looked close you could see the fear in her eyes.

Ryder looked almost happy to see me.
"Xander, this, whatever you saw was not it, she pushed me I swear,"

I just narrowed my eyes at him and stayed silent.

He seemed to notice, "Xander?"

Fox giggled, "Aww, is the Xander Miles speechless or heartbroken?"

I rolled my eyes.

Stone walked in and slung his arm around me. "See Xander, Ryder is just another richie,"

I didn't bother shoving Stone's shoulder off, I had to get the point across. That we were through, Ryder and I.

Stone took a lighter out of his pocket and a pack cigars. He handed me one and then put his own cigar between his teeth. I did the same and he quickly lit it, as well as his.

He took a drag and then turned to look at me, he said, "You know I think Ryder, here, has some words to say. Isn't that right, Ash?"

Ryder gulped, you could see the jealousy in his eyes and the pain, but he nodded.

Ryder opened his mouth, but closed it. He did this a couple of times, until Diesel and Allen showed up behind him, a little to close to where I knew something was up, but what Ryder said next, my mind went blank and I was close to falling on the ground to cry my eyes out, but I kept my emotions in check.

"Were....were over Xander. You...were just - you were just a toy to me. And your worthless, your just a piece of shit, your not pretty, your a broken...mess. You mean nothing to me, you never did." He whispered.

It looked like he was just as pained as I was. But I put that aside and gave him a piece of my mind.

I walked up to him and looked him dead in the eye and said, "I fell for you Ryder. Hard. You were supposed to be my safe haven, and I knew better. Because your just like every other richie. Your like Izzy, you manipulate people, your like Stone you play people and enjoy it, and your just like your mother a cold selfish person to those who are lower on the social ranking."

He had lost color in his face and his eyes were glassy. He looked like he had been stabbed multiple of times.

I wasn't thinking for what I did next, it was just out of anger and hurt. I had had enough, of being treated like shit.

So,I punched him, hard.
