Chapter 2

Ryan's POV:

After school ended for today, I went out to the front of the school and waited for my sister Kaiya to pick me up. She usually stops by a coffee shop or something every time she comes to get me so I figured I would be here a while.

There's no benches or anything where she picks me up from so I sat in the grass and waited. I have some time to kill. I guess I could text Caden. I like him and he seems super great and stuff. I wonder what else he does in his free time? Maybe he can play the guitar or something. Damn, he has been the only thing on my mind ever since I met him. On the bright side, at least he knows I exist which is a plus. Why can't I get him out of my head? The way his brown eyes glisten when he talks about something he loves. His dark hair and dark style really suits his eyes. I think personally I'm just attracted to that kind of darkness, that sounds really dumb now that I think about it. I should text him. Maybe it's what my brain wants, then I'll stop thinking so much about him.

Never mind, I shouldn't. I just met him and I don't want to come off as clingy or something. Then I would drive him away. That would really freakin suck.
I leaned my head on my hand, making my red hair fall around my face as I looked at the ground. It blocked out the sunlight which I appreciated. I'm practically a vampire. The sun pisses me off how it gets in your eyes, blinding you. It also makes you really tan and gives you sunburn. Not to mention how hard it is to be emo when the sun is out because it's attracted to black and stuff, it's so freaking hot. Maybe I'm kind of like the sun in that sense. Caden wears black. You could say I'm beginning to be very attracted to him. A 'vampire' that can kind of relate to the sun, how funny.

I let my thoughts drift a little while longer before I heard the soft hum of a Jeep engine as it pulled up in front of me. I love my sister's car. It's a black Jeep with four doors and a good sound system. I got up and took cover in the shade of the car.

"Hey, how was school you little twat?" She said as I buckled into the front seat.

"Actually, it wasn't so bad" I replied with a different answer than usual.

"Oh really, what happened that was so special that it gave you more vocabulary options than fine or good?"

"Well I decided that the only way to make new friends is by sitting by new people, so today I switched it up." I explained to her as she took a sip of her iced coffee and sped off towards home. "And in my art class, I looked around the room and noticed a kid sitting in the back. I normally don't sit in the back so I haven't ever seen him before and I haven't been in school as long as everyone else. But I chose to today, and me and that kid became pretty good friends the rest of the day."

"Wow, What's he like? Wait! More important question! Do you like him?" She asked eying me slyly. I came out to her as bi a few months ago and she was generally pretty accepting of it. She said she would support me no matter who I liked and that she just wanted me to have someone to embarrass me to someday.

"He has hair kinda like mine but black, same style, same taste in music. And I don't really know yet, I only just met him today." I told her, trying to hide the fact that I was growing a crush on him.

"Ahhhh I knew it! You're cruuusshhinggg!!!! From the looks of it, you are blushing pretty hard over there little man." She said squealing and driving a tad faster in excitement.

I gripped the car door and the side of the passenger seat just in case. "Ok so maybe I am a little, but slow down would ya, I don't want to die before this can go anywhere."

"Alright fine, what's his name?" She asked, I felt the car slow slightly.

"His name is Caden." I replied, feeling butterflies in my stomach. Or maybe that's just the feeling of car sickness. I don't really know at this point.
