TOGETHER FOREVER

CHAPTER 5

Ryan's pov:

I woke up to the sight of bright sunlight peeking through the window and sun rays are hitting my eyes. I closed my eyes and squished it. I turn to look at the clock which shows 8:30 in the morning. We have to gather 10'o clock and breakfast is at 9.

I turned to look at harry whether he was awake or not. He was still asleep. His lips are slightly parted and he was lightly snoring. He seems like a baby while he was sleeping. Suddenly my stomach was grumbled. I didn't eat anything last night. I got into the bathroom and washed my face. I returned to the room and decided to wake him up.

I shook him strongly. I don't want to repeat what happened yesterday. Unlike yesterday he easily woke up.

"Good morning" he said with a smile.

"What time is it?" he asked.

"It's 8:30. I am glad you didn't shove me like you did yesterday" I said with a smile.

He gave me sheepish grin and get off from the bed. He stretched his hands.

I took the towel and clothes from my bag and turned to look at him.

"I am going to take a shower. It won't be a long. After I finished you can take your turn." I said and he nodded.

I closed the bathroom door and started to strip. I entered into the shower and let the water caress my body. After I was done I dried myself and put my clothes on. Once I was done I opened the door. Harry was sitting on the bed with a towel around his neck and clothes in his hands.

Once I was out he entered the room and closed the door. I was thinking whether I will go or wait for him to finish before going to the breakfast. I choose the second option.

After 20 minutes he came out from the bathroom. When he came it was 9:15.

"Come on the breakfast is 9. It's already 9:15" I said. He nodded and we both left our room.

When we reached the canteen where everyone was eating, Harry about to say something but I already cut him off.

"It's ok. You can go and sit with your friends. I will be okay by myself." I said and made my way to the food table.

I got my food and sat on the nearby bench which was empty. Half way through my breakfast I turned to look at Harry but he was talking with his friends. I turned my head and continued to eat my food.

Once I was done I made my way to the meeting area. Today we are paired with others to do the activities. It was much more fun than yesterday. My partner doesn't seem like a bad person. He was actually nice. I found his name was john. He was same grade as me but he was in different class.

After that, the lunch came by and as usual I sat alone in the table and finished my food.

At evening 6'o clock we have returned to our room pretty exhausted. I took a shower and changed clothes. Harry is not returned yet, probably having some fun with his friends. I decided to go to the reception to call Sheena. When I was about to open the door the door opened from the outside and knocked me to the floor.

"Oouch"

Harry was stood there. Once he saw me on the floor his eyes are widened.

"Ryan, I am sorry. Are you okay?" he asked worry in his eyes.

"Yeah, I am fine" I said and tried to stand up and miserably failed.

Harry helped me to stand and sat me on the bed. He took a seat beside me examining my head.

"Are you sure you are okay?" he asked.

I gave him a reassuring smile. "Yeah, I am fine. Don't worry" I said and stood up from the bed.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"To the reception, I want to call my sister." I said.

"How old was she?" he asked.

"She was 8 yrs old" I said.

"Why don't you use my mobile? Tell me the number I will call." He asked.

I thought about a minute. I don't want to bother him but, if I rejected it will be rude.

I told the number and after dialing it he handed me the phone. I talked to Sheena about 10 minutes before hanging up.

Once I hang up I returned his mobile. "Thanks harry." I said.

"It's ok Ryan. you are always welcome" he said.

We sat in our respective bed doing nothing. There was silence filled in our room.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" he asked out of nowhere.

I turned and look at him. He was looking at me with the expression that I can't put my finger on.

I shook my head.

"Why?" he asked.

I just shrugged my shoulders. "No one even bothered to speak to me. Let alone have a girlfriend." I said.

"Do you want to be in a relationship?" he asked.

"Not really. I never thought about it. I have enough things in my plate to keep me busy." I said.

He nodded and turned to look straight at the door.

I turned to look at the clock it reads nearly 8. The dinner will be served soon.

"Don't you want to have dinner? it's almost dinner time" I said.

"No, I don't want to go." He said.

I frowned at him. "Why?" I asked.

"What about you?" he asked.

"What about me?" I asked

"Don't you want to eat?" he asked.

"I'm not hungry." I said.

"So was I." he said.

I frowned at him again. "Don't tell me you are not going because of me" I said.

He didn't answer.

"Harry..?" no answer.

"Harry I am not really hungry." I said.

Again silence. I gave up and lie down on my bed.

After 5 minutes his mobile started to ring.

"Hello..." he said in a bored voice.

"No, josh. I am not coming. I am not hungry. No josh, I am not mad. I am gonna hung up." He said and hangs up the call.

I sighed. "You are seriously a stubborn kid just like I heard". I said. "Fine, I will go with you." I said.

He turned to me and gave me his sheepish grin.

"That's what I thought. Now come on I am hungry." He said.

"Well, you said you are not hungry?" I asked.

"Well, that was like 10 minute ago." He defends himself. I shook my head and smiled.

I never thought someone like Harry could be so nice and caring person.

We left the room and made our ways to the dinner area. Students are eating and talking with their friends. We made our way towards the food table and picked our food in the plate. When we turned josh was waving his hands for Harry to come.

Well it's time for me to leave. I turned to leave when Harry caught my wrist with his hands. There was a tingling feeling but I choose to ignore it. I looked at Harry and raised my eyebrow at him.

Harry suddenly let go of my hand and shook his head. "come sit with me." he simply stated.

"No, it's okay. You can go and sit with your friends. I will see you in our room." I said.

He shook his head. "No, you are going to come and sit with us and after we finish our food we are going to room together." He said.
