Chapter 4: Do You Like Marbles and Green paint?

Ryder's POV

Me and the guys were heading into the ice cream parlor and I couldn't help but think back to Nate and Polly when they were playing around

Was I jealous?

Of course not, you don't like her Ryder

Do I? I known her for awhile but we were both always distance and different but when I'd started to hang out with her I've been starting to see she isn't really that bad only when she's not being mean or stubborn but after all she's fun.

Were both different and same in many ways

I'm just a boy whom cares about himself, egoistic, cocky, jerk, you name it. So I understand why she doesn't like me but I can say the same

I don't like her or anything if that's what you guys are thinking, as a friend I do but I don't know why I always get jealous when someone's touching her other than me.

I wasn't ready for a relationship after what's happen with my mother.

She passed away three months from a heart attack and I was only fifthteen at the time. My dad left us when I was six. I was an only child, so now I'm living with my aunt Rosy and uncle Roger. There fun, they treat me like there own child, give me space and time because they know the situation I was in.

I got worst when my mom died of a heart attack got into a gang,popped pills, sell drugs, drink every night, slept with tons of girls but Michael came to the rescue. He help me recover so I told him everything that has happen to me when he found me drunk at one of our highschool parties. I'm still in the gang because you can't get out unless you get killed. I've tried to get out but once I heard if you try you die.I'm a lucky boy though because I tried to get out once and I made it, that's why I'm here right now, Rosy and Roger knew so we moved here and I've been here since years and they still haven't found me. Michael said no strings attached between me and his twin sister because he doesn't want her in danger because of my life. It hurted a little bit but I understand where he's coming from, I wouldn't want my sister going out with a boy like that only if I had one.

But everyone has reasons why they do things, I definitely have reasons and memories I can't forget.

"What flavor do-" before I can ask Michael cuts me off

"Strawberry with strawberry Hersey and sprinkles lot's of sprinkles" he says empathizing the word lot's and I nod and go order me and her ice cream while Nate and Calvin flirt with some girls and Michael getting his and Monica.

And Polly and Monica ice cream is in containers so it won't waste

They'll be cute

Wtf cute? I'm sounding like a girl

I think I should just stop thinking

How can you even stop thinking?

I don't know forget it

~*~

As we were parking into the driveway I see that Polly's car is gone

Huh? They're suppose to be home

Michael opens the front door and hold it open for us than I walk inside first and the uninspected happen.

I'm trying not to lose my balance standing on the marbles by holding onto the wall but that didn't help because Polly came rushing around the corner with a bucket of green paint and my eyes widen in horror
