Poppy POV
It's been a week since Ryder confessed his feelings for me. I haven't talk to him since. I didn't confess I liked him. I rejected him and the look on his face broke my heart.
"I'm sorry Ryder. I just don't feel the same way you feel the same about me." I lied. "I just see you as a friend."

The reason I didn't tell him that I liked him too was because I think it's all fake. I'm gonna be real here. How can a guy like Ryder, who's good looking, the bad boy, like me?
