Miracle

Chapter XVI

So that's Ryder, Rylee first crush. But why is he with Ava...? Is he the guy that the whole school has been talking about? The college student? I turn to look at Rylee and see tears building up in her eyes. She races to the bathroom, so that nobody sees her. I follow her quickly, to cheer her up.

"Rylee..?" I said before I hear a loud cry. It was Rylee and it sounded like she was in pain. Not in pain as if she was bruised but hurt by what she saw. The guy she loved most with her enemy. That ain't easy to process. I'm not even sure if Ava and Ryder and dating but something's up. Like real up.

"I can't believe it... Out of everyone in this world.. why him?" She said. I wiped her tears and gave her a big hug.

"It ain't your fault," I tell her. She tries and fixes her face and leaves the bathroom, Not being suspicious. Jackson was waiting outside for her, and practically was very curious. But for the first time, he was really worried. Rylee reassured him that it was nothing and that something flew into her eyes. Pretty convincible. She continued to be normal, dancing and eating through out the night. Ava was introducing Ryder and the other guy with Aubrey. Like again, they were being true... let's keep this moderated. I mean, he looked like he really didn't enjoy coming with her but, he did, and he has to face it. About 30 minutes later, Ryder spots Rylee.

"Rylee.." Ryder said because he runs towards her and pulls her into a hug.

"Uh...Ryder..." She said hesitantly.

"Goodness, you look so beautiful, like you used to," He complimented her. She thanked him... but very hesitantly. They have a pretty awkward conversation which lasted 3 minutes.

"Alright everyone, SLOW DANCE TIME!" Screamed one of the students. Immidiately, everyone got into pairs. Rylee on the other hand, was in a very awkward conversation and she was asked by him to dance.

"Sorry dude, Rylee is my date for the night. Why don't you go dance with Ava?" Jackson said, interrupting them. He takes Rylee's hand and walks away, starting to lead the dance. Now, THAT IS THE BEST THING THAT IDIOT HAS EVER DONE! Salute to Jackson for being a hero for once.

"Shall we?" Dominic said while taking his hand out for me. I got flustered immediately but I try to keep it hidden. I believe he already spotted it cause there was an instant smile on his face, a cute one. I accepted his offer and started to dance with him. I hesitantly kept my hands on his shoulders but he moved them.

"Excuse me, I'm not scary you know, " He said while placing my hands near his neck and placing his hand near my waist. He pulled me in a bit closer and joined my left hand with his right. Practically, I was supposed to lead the dance but... Dominic dragged me along. It's not my fault I don't dance. Wait... it is. We danced for hours I believe and it was great. Even though my feelings for him is just developing, it's developing really fast. He's there whenever I need him. When I'm sad, When I'm happy or even when I'm confused. I just don't know if I should... tell him about mom and dad. It's hard because I don't know how he'll react to this. He's the son of a Billionaire and I... I am a low-earning school girl who is on the edge of sufficient living. Sometime later, it's 12 Am and I'm getting ready to leave. For some time, Ryder has been staring at Rylee, whose been dancing with Jackson this whole while. I wonder if he feels jealous or something.

"Are you ready to go home?" Rylee questions me.

"Yup, it's been a long night," I reply. Seconds later, I see Ethan running towards us. He looks disturbed and terrible.

"Have you guys seen Sydney?" Ethan questions us.

"No, why?!" Rylee exclaims.

"Sy-dney... she's... She's gone," He tells us hesitantly.

"WHAT?!" Rylee and I scream.

"HELP!" A voice screams as it faids quickly. And that wasn't just any voice, That was Sydney.
