RYDER'S POV
I groaned and hit the green answer button.
"Ryder! Where are you?!" My mom asked.
"I'm at Ashley's house. Relax." I said.
"Well I didn't know! Ethan said you were texting a boy!" She said.
"Well he was lying. I was texting Ashley." I said.
"Ethan never lies! But when are you finally going to meet someone?" She asked.
"I'm nineteen, mother. I think have time." I said.
"Well time's ticking." She said.
Since when did she care so much about me?
"Okay goodbye, mother." I said hanging up.
I roll my eyes and flop onto Ashley's pillow and groan.
"Why isn't it the end of August yet?" I asked.
"What'd she say?" She asked.
"She wanted to know where I was since Ethan told her I was texting a boy. Which I was but they don't know about that. And they won't know about him until Christmas." I explained.
"Why Christmas?" She asked.
"Remember how I said I told them I'm 'transferring to UCLA?'" I asked.
"Yeah." She said.
"Well when I come up for 'Christmas break' I'll bring Luke with me." I said.
"Oh smart." She said.
"Yes and then I denied texting a boy and she had the nerve to ask when I would start going out and meeting people." I said.
"I love how the one moment she actually cares about you it's about your love life and not about your well being." She said.
"Tell me about it." I said rolling my eyes.
"Don't worry, Ry. You'll be out of this hell hole soon enough." She said.
"Why can't 'soon' be closer?" I asked sighing.
