Playlists {A Rydellington Story}

・Chapter 12・

I stumble quickly down the stairs to see all the blondes and the brownie hairs. When I set sight on all of them, Rydel opens her mouth as if to say something but shuts it immediately.

God, I missed her.

"So what's the plan?" I ask sitting in a chair and Rocky smirks gleefully and explains to me about the auditions. I could barely focus because Rydel in the corner of my eyesight. Her brunette hair was in a mess with her bangs long enough to cover her eyebrows.

"He's obviously staring at Rydel." I hear Ross mumble and I shake my head quickly returning to reality.

"I zoned out. I'm ready to practice this shizzle." I get drumsticks out of my back pockets. "LOOK AT MY STICKS!" I yell and Riker laughs.

Rydel sits behind her piano and starts playing a tune which I assume is to the song. "That sounds nice." I compliment her. Her eyes light up and lock with mine. "I really missed you, Rydel." I admit and Rydel gets up and walks over to me.

Her hand goes up to my shoulder and she leans in until our noses are close to touching. Her breath smells like mints. "Ellington?" She whispers.

"Yeah?"

"Fuck you." She says then storms upstairs leaving me with no words.

Well that's the spirit.

  We ended up with no practice and Rydel never came back downstairs. I gave up on the idea of the auditions and Riker didn't try to convince me that it'll work.

Rocky and I came up with a handshake for each other and planned on meeting for video games Friday. Ross and Riker chatted with me for a while before going back to strumming.

"I got a question for you," Riker looks up from his guitar to me.

"Ask me," I twirl my drumstick in between my fingers.

"Do you like Rydel?" He asks then before I know it, everyone is staring at me.

I asked myself this question a lot every time I even think of Rydel.

Do I like Rydel? We kissed and it felt great.

I didn't want to ruin our friendship though. If she's broken, I'll be broken with her. No one can change our friendship. "I don't know," I say almost too quickly.

Rocky stands up. "It's obvious she likes you man. You like her too, it shows when you guys look at each other."

Oh yeah it definitely shows when she says fuck you.

I ignore this as I walk upstairs to see Stormie had made about ten sandwiches. "Do you want one?" She asks setting one on a plate and handing it towards me. I shake my head.

"No thanks Mrs.Lynch, where's Rydel?" Stormie smiles at me when I ask this. She gestures her hand to a room which I assume is Rydel's. The door is closed. "Should I talk to her?"

"Go find out yourself."

I walk towards a door with a heart sticker on it. I put my ear against the door and hear crying from inside. "Rydel, can I come in?" I ask quietly. I hear shuffle of her feet after I ask this.
