The Bad Boy's secret.

6.Ferris wheel

Luke's P O V

After Ryder left with Isabella,  I groaned and plopped down onto the couch. I said I had no problem if he dated her but there was a feeling inside that made me guilty of lying.  She even almost saw me naked, I am such a dummy.  I mean what kind of guy drops their towel in front of a girl. Only me. I felt my face flush from embarrassment and I quickly went back into the changing roo. to put on clothes. I passes Joan who was laughing to herself. That also reminds me, what if she thought Joan and I were a thing. Ew, I can not see that happening. She is like my older sister. Isabella probably thinks that I am some type of sleeze now. Why does impressing a girl have to be so difficult?  I finished changing into a burgundy red v-neck t shirt, black jeans and my signature leather jacket. The moment I got out of the locker room,  I put on my boxing gloves so I could clear my thoughts. The idea of Ryder hanging out with Isabella makes my blood boil. I have absolutely no idea why though because he is my best friend.  I postioned myself in my stance and hit the black punching bag.

Focus

Punch right

Punch left

After I had thrown my second punch, the image of Isabella smiling while being next to Ryder made me angry. I kept punching the bag, nonstop until it flew to the floor with a hole in it. I watched the sand flood out of it while my breathing became faster. I continually kicked the bag, imagining it was Ryder. I then felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around so quick that I was about to punch the person when she grabbed my hand. "Calm your tits Luke. It is just me. Besides what has you so angry and worked up?"

I shook my head while sighing. "I guess I can tell you. You just can not tell anybody this not even Ryder, got it?"

She nodded her head and crossed her arms. " Luke, why would I tell anybody? Besides why can't Ryder know?"

"Because it is about him! Now will you stop interrogating me and listen! I'm for yelling at you but the whole situation makes me angry and I thought Ryder liked you."

Joan scoffed. "Are you kidding me?! That boy has never liked me, we are like brother and sister.bI could never see myself dating him or you. So, please start telling me why you killed this innocent punching bag."

I ran a hand through my hair,  frustrated,  and chuckled softly. "Okay okay, I will. So you already know about Isabella and how she tried being bad but it did not work out. She came to my house the other day, after paint balling my motorcycle, and apologized. Luna instantly fell in love with her and asked her to cook her breakfast. She cooked these amazing pancakes but I will never tell her that.  Anyways later that day I had a shift at my job and Luna had to come with me since it was a Saturday,  yesterday.  We then ran into her and her friend again but before that,Ryder bekng Ryder flirted with her while I was in front of them. So Ryder told her he will give her pointers on photography, that is what they are doing now. He even asked me if I had a problem about it and if they got together but I said I did not. Now I do not know why I am so angry about this qnd why I have an urge to impress her. She also thinks that you and I are together, from earlier."

Her eyes twinkled with amusement and she doubled over with laughter. I quirked an eyebrow up at her and she patted my shoulder still laughing.  "Oh, Lukey. You are growing up so fast. Can you not see that you like the girl ans you did not realize it until Ryder asked her to hang out with each other. Gosh, now this is a problem. You gave Ryder permission to go out with her already but what if she does not like him. That would be the only way, for you to date her but the only way to figure out if she likes you is by making her jealous so lets make her keep thinking that we are dating."

She was smirking which was never a good sign. That was when I remembered that I had to go pick up Luna. It was already 5 o clock p.m. I threw on my shoes and waved towards Joan. "Thanks for listening and giving me advice Jo. That plan sounds like a good idea but I do not think I like her. Well I have to go pick up Luna, bye bye!"

I was walking out the door when she laughed and said, "Stop being in denial, you butt munch!!"

I chuckled and headed to my motorcycle. I started the ignition,  and drove off, towards my sister's friend's house. She had spent the almost the whole day there. I had deopped her off there earlier this morning so she did not have to see my boxing match I had. I pulles up into the driveway and saw that the two girls were playing with barbie dolls on the front lawn. I smiled at the sight of my little sister laughing. She looked up and saw me. "Buba! You are here to pick me up now?"

My grin widened.  "Of course I am here to  pick you up. I have missed you so much you little munchkin!"

I picked her up and started tickling her. She let out fits of giggles while Mrs. Morrison stepped out of the house to greet me. I put Luna down and she scurried over to my motorcycle attempting to put on the helmet. " Hello Mr. Wilder, I have not seen you in a while. How are you?"

I scratched my head, uncomfortably and said, "I am doing great but I have to pick up a friend right now, so I am sorry for not being able to stay much longer to chat with you. "

I waved bye to her and fixed Luna's helmet on her. I had lied once again today, I really need to stop. I was planning on going to Ryder's and I's hang out to take a breather, but after I dropped Luna off at Joan's house. After I dropped her off I quickly drove through all my shortcuts that I had towards my thinking place. The moment I got there I saw that the lights and power was already on. Please do not tell me Ryder brought her here. I groaned those two were going to get it if they are here. I walked in and turned off the power switch. I then heard a stumbling noise coming from the ferris wheel ans started heading towards it while the power started coming back on. The moment the lights flashed on, I wished I had not been there because Isabella and Ryder were just seperating from a kiss. I crossed my arms and waited for their cart thingy to come to the ground.  Isabella was keeping eyw contact with me the whole time. She had shock written all over her face.

*                    *                        *

"Ryder! You know we promised each other not to bring anyone in here without one another's permission! Do you just think you can just do whatever you want just because you are with Isabella?"

Ryder and I had just gotten into a discrete argument about him bringing Isabella here. Ryder smirked while lacing his fingers with Isabella's hand and said, "Well she is now my girlfriend. So I trust her."

I glared at their hands and before I could say anything Isabella beat me to it. "Look Ryder, I ageeed to go on a date with you, not become your girlfriend.  We barely even know each other besides I did not signal that kiss up there so do not think that. I simply turned and we kissed. I am a very independent woman so do not just go and make your own choices for me."

She removed her hand from his and walked away. I laughed, that was the Isabella Foster that I knew. Ryder glared af me after she had disappeared.  "This is all your fault now. Everything was going smooth until you showed up.Thanks Luke.  I did not know you had a problem with it because you simply said you did not."

He started walking away too, so I screamed, "Ryder! Our promise was not to let anyone in here and it would be just our place but no you have to bring Isabella here. I saw her first Ryder! I go to the same school with her and there is a creepy twenty year old principle that likes her too!"

He stopped and screamed in frustration. He turned around and a look ofof amusement danced in his eyes.  "Why do we have to have interest in the same girl?! Of all times now? Why can't we just have interest in different girls?"
