Gone But Not Completely

Chapter 5

Previously....

He cocks an eyebrow and I see a glint in his eyes and creepy childish grin forms onto his tan face. Crap he saw through my act. He takes in a breath like he is about to say something, when I feel a warm hand grab mine. I look down to see the mystery hand intertwine there fingers with mine. I feel my heartbeat start to pick up and my cheeks start to heat up as I look up to see who it is.

Its Ryker....

Well this just got awkward.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ryker?" He isn't looking at me. He is looking at Bradley and Bradley is looking at him. Ryker turns his head to meet my gaze. He forces a smile and squeezes my hand which probably is making me blush even harder.

"Hey." He says to me. His cheeks turn a slight shade of pink. Is he nervous? Aww that is so cute! I giggle a little and his boyish smile forms onto his face, showing his dimples.

"Whoa! What's going on here?"Someone says walking up behind us. Wait, I know that voice! "OH MY GOSH! ARE YOU GUYS FINALLY TOGETHER?!" She squeals in my ear making both Ryker and I cringe. I turn my head to my right and see Ashley bouncing on her feet.

"Umm..I uh" I start but I'm quickly cut off by Ryker.

"Yes we are! Well aslong as she is ok with that." Both Ashley and Ryker turn and look at me. Both of my cheeks feel like they are on fire. I nod my head. Ashley squeals even louder this time, now drawing attention to us. I hear an annoyed sigh and I realise that Bradley jut saw the whole thing. I look at him and I'm not for sure on what I just saw. Was there a hint of jealousy in his eyes? He quickly meets my gaze and puts his smirk back on. Wow this guy really!

"Well I will see you later best friend!" He waves at me as he is walking away. I feel Ryker squeeze my hand again and I look up and see him glaring at Bradley as he walks away.

"Wow." Ashley whispers so only I can hear. "So you guys are finally dating! Its about freaking time!" She says in a louder tone so that Ryker can hear.I roll my eyes at her and I hear Ryker chuckle to my right.

"Come one love birds let's go get some lunch we already missed the first 15 minutes." Ashley grabs my arm with Rykers and my hands still together.

Wow did that really just happen? Huh. jealousy finally got Ryker to ask me out and right in front of Bradley. Ha talk about a good day! And the Music Festival is tonight which I'm looking forward to that.

"Hey Dad! Are you picking me up after school?" We live within walking distance of the school so sometimes my sister and I have to walk, but she usually has soccer practice so most of the time its just me which isn't that bad, but it can get really hot.

"No I'm going to the gym to workout and its a nice day too." Well then..

"Okay I'm on my way then."

"Okay see you about 5:30 or 6."

Well I guess it not that bad I probably get home faster walking than riding in a car since there is a lot of traffic after school. I have some money I think I'm going to stop at Starbucks since it is on the way home. I press the cross walk button to cross the street.

"Hey bestfriend!" He say emphasizing bestfriend. Great! Why is this guy every where I am! It seems like he is every where I am. I mean we do go to the same school but that doesn't mean he has to be around every corner. Well lets get this over with, there is no point in ignoring him he will just bug me even more.

"Hi." I say keeping a straight face while turning to look at him. Maybe he will get the hint that I dont want to ralk to him.

"So.. going to Starbucks? Im going over there too lets walk over together and catch up bestfriend." I feel a slight blush forming. He starts smirking at me noticing ny blush.

Well im not going anymore. "No actually im walking home. Maybe some other time. Bye!" The walking signal comes on and I quickley get across the street and pull I out my phone so it looks like im texting someone.

"Hey wait I'll go with you!" He grabs my arm stopping me. What us he? Can't he just leave me alone.

"No you dont have to its fine." I say a little to quickley.  I feel the blush reappearing. "I usually walking home by myself." Crap why did I tell him that! Dangit Rydell think before you say things!  He doesnt need to know you usually walk home especially by yourself. Your trying to make him leave not follow you around even more.

"No Its cool we can catch up!"

"No really its fine!" I say while holding up my hands.

He starts walking ahead of me. He turns his head to look at me. " Are you coming?"

I start walking towards him and our steps fall in sync with eachother. I start picking up my pace the sooner we get ther the better.
