My Boy (shyland)

Part 4

*time skip 4 days*

Me and Ryland have gotten really close within the past week. we studied for tests and quizzes together after school, and went and got coffee in the morning. I've gotten closer to the rest of the group as well, but Ryland is.... my favorite to say the least.

*buzz*

Ryland- Party tonight! Wanna come with me?

Shane- Of course! Can you pick me up ?

Ryland- Sure. See ya there!

I was heading downstairs as Ryland beeped his horn.

"Bye mom, I'm gonna go hangout with Ryland!"

I found her asleep on the couch, probably because she worked the night shift last night. i crept out the door and into the cool brisk air. i saw Ryland's face peek out of the window, smiling as always.

"Hey Ry!"

"Hey Shane! Ready to party?"

"Hell yeah!"

We drove down to the lake where the party was being held. It was small, only consisting of Garrett, drew, Joey, and Drew's new girlfriend, Erin. We all drank a bit and Joey suggested we play truth or dare?

J- Ok, I'll go first. Ryland, Truth or dare?

R-Truth.

G-Pussy!

R-Fine, dare.

J-Do you have a crush on someone in this group?

Ryland's cheeks turned bright red as he looked down and then glanced at me quickly.

R- Yes.

Joey squealed and tried to guess who, naming everyone in the group.

R-I'm not saying anything.

G-You're no funnnnn.

S- If it's any compensation Garrett, i think i know who as a crush on Erin... I said as i pointed down the beach to a rock, where Erin and Drew were making out.

We all burst out laughing until everyone was bright red.

We continued the night by dancing to Britney spears, drinking a bit more, splashing around in the lake, and then watching the sunset. I looked over at Ryland, who looked deep in thought and beautiful as ever in the sun's disappearing light.

Everyone went their separate ways, not wanting to stay out too late. Me and Ryland drove to my house and he dropped me off. he looked slightly sad when i got out of the car. he looked at me with his ocean eyes and said,

"See you later Shane."

"Goodnight Ryland."

That night, i kept wondering why Ryland was acting so weird. i Kept thinking about not only that, but him. Just him. His amazing features, blue ocean eyes, warm loving touch...

Wait. why am i thinking about him like this? i shouldn't be thinking about a boy like that. Boys are just friends. nothing more. no matter what a stupid test online says. i thought to myself.

If he's just a friend, then why do i get butterflies whenever we touch? Why do a call him cute and beautiful in my mind?

Just as i was about to go to sleep, i realized,

I have a crush on my best friend, Ryland Adams.
