After Hannah Baker- Zach Dempsey's New Life

11: Ryan's Family Reunion

"I have to go home and change," Ryan said after breakfast.

"Okay," I said pulling out a white t-shirt from my dresser.

"You don't have to put on anything fancy," she said slowly sitting on my bed.

"I was just going to change my shirt," I chuckled. "And put on jeans," I grabbed some jeans then looked at Ryan setting my clothes on my bed next to her.

"Do you want me to leave the room?" she chuckled.

"Your good," I said then took my shirt off and put the clean one on.

After I changed, Mom walked into my room. "What are you two doing today?" she asked.

"Ryan has a family reunion and I'm going with," I answered.

"How long are you going to be gone?" she asked.

"Probably until five," Ryan shrugged.

"Do you think you can bring May with you?" she asked quietly. I looked at Ryan.

"Sure," Ryan nodded then stood up slowly. "It's at a park," she shrugged.

"Okay, I'll tell her to go get dressed," Mom smiled then walked out of the room.

"I forgot my parents had plans today," I mumbled when Ryan turned and looked at me.

"It's alright," she smiled. "There will be plenty of kids there," she nodded then slowly put her hands on her hips. I chuckled then stood up to grab a pair of shoes. "I just realized how tall you are," she said half surprised. I chuckled then sat back down on my bed. "You are really tall," she chuckled.

"Am I tall or are you just short?" I chuckled slowly putting my shoes on.

"Wow, that was a mean thing for you to say," she laughed then crossed her arms. I chuckled then put my other shoe on. "That was quite rude," she continued. "I'm going to kick your ass one of these days," she giggled.

"Oh really?" I straightened up then looked at her. She nodded then smiled when I chuckled. "You are so frightening," I chuckled then quickly pulled her towards me. She giggled then kissed me. She pulled away from me then headed out of the room.

"I'm going to go get dressed, can you come pick me up from my house?" she asked.

"Yeah," I nodded then stood up and followed her down the stairs.

May was just putting her shoes on. "You're already dressed?" I asked her.

"Yes," she nodded. Ryan slowly slipped on her one flipflop then looked at me.

"Ryan has to go home and get dressed," I said when May stood up. "So I guess we're going to drive over to her house and wait for her to get dressed," I chuckled then grabbed my car keys.

"Okay," May said then walked with us out to my car.

"Want to come in and wait?" Ryan asked when we pulled into her driveway.

"Sure," May said then unbuckled. She climbed out then followed Ryan inside, I followed behind them. "Bryce was outside," May said sitting at the kitchen island.

"I know," I nodded then sat next to her. "Do you like Ryan?" I asked quietly.

She nodded lightly, "She's fun," she smiled. "Do you like Ryan?" she chuckled.

"Of course I do," I chuckled just before Ryan hopped down the stairs. "You ready?" I asked when she grabbed her wallet from next to the stove. She pulled out some money then looked at me.
