Waiting outside of school for Ryan, where was the dick, turning my head to see him pull up next to me in his 2012 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, it was the most beautiful car I had seen, “Have you stopped perving at my car yet? Because that’s just wrong” He smirked knowing that I was in love with Ferraris.
“Shut up and the only thing wrong with the car is that you drive it you don’t even know what type of engine it has and you probably don’t even know what type of engine it has or even what type of Ferrari it is”
“And I take it you do?” Ryan asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Course why else would I bring it up?”
“Go on tell us”
“No, make me” I demanded
“I’ll let you drive it” he smirked knowing that he had won. I sighed and gave in telling him the engine is a
6.3 L V12 knowing it meant nothing to him “Now give me they keys” I walked round to the driver’s seat and snatched the keys out of his hand “Madam” he said opening up the door the shutting it once I was in the driver’s seat, he walked around to the passenger door. As soon as he closed his door I speed off making sure I took the long way to his place as I loved how nice the Ferrari drove. I plugged my iPod in and the song by ‘That Sunday Feeling; You’re So Vain’ I began singing along, when I was done Ryan was staring at me in pure awe “Wow you can still sing really good.”
“Um thanks” I said, taken aback by the rare complement. Getting out of the car I looked up at his house, it holds a lot of good memories some not even old, just thinking about them made me smile. When we were in the house, I followed him upstairs to his room, It hadn’t changed that much it still had his bass, guitar and his board was next to it, lots of sport and half naked girls posters “So let’s get started on our project” he said taking me away from my thoughts.
“Huh, yeah. Sure” I was still shocked at how he kept his bass and skateboard in sight where the basket ball team and the preps could see it. I went over to his desk where he had everything set out for us to start on our project.

After an hour of doing work we decided to take a brake and play COD after I had shot him down, a lot we stopped and grabbed some coke and chips and dip from the kitchen then went back to his room and we just hanged bumming around doing fuck all. it was surprisingly nice and I realised that I missed talking to Ryan and I saw that there was still some of the Ryan I knew, it was refreshing to know he hadn’t completely changed, its nicer than the cocky jock I see at school every day. Sitting on his bed leaning my back against wall, he sat next to me. I just wondered why one day we got along then the next day he was a complete dick. I checked my phone to see a text from Josh; thank god it was only 1 min ago.

Josh- leaving house now will b there in 5mins be ready, we r going out 4 dinner
Zoë- Kay will do where we going?
Josh- dunno some fancy place
Zoë- what! Fancy? I dnt do fancy
Josh- hahaha lol jk were going to burger king :P
Zoë- bk? For your last supper
Josh- yea its good

I put my phone back in my pocket and jumped off the bed walking over to my bag and skateboard “Where you going?” Ryan asked
“Out, its Josh’s last day at home before heading off to uni, so we are going to burger king. Apparently”
“Burger king!?” he laughed shaking his head.
“Yeah” just then there was a knock on the door “That’ll be him” Running down stairs to the front door, skidding to a halt “Hey bro”
“Hey Zoë, Ryan. How’d the project go?” Josh asked. But before I could answer Ryan did.
“Not too bad, me and Zoë had lots of fun” He winked in my direction, making me suppress a gag “Oh Cheers for placing me as captain” Ryan said
“All good but if you do that about my sister again, I will make it so you’re not captain, got it?” Ryan nodded and agreed not to do that again. Josh turned to me “Ready?” Josh asked
“Yeah, are you?” I shot back
“Come on let’s get going”
“Kay I’ll be in the car” I walked past Josh and walked to the car and waited whilst Josh and Ryan talked for a while longer.

“So how’d it go, really?” he asked
“Not as bad as I thought” I replied
“You know he’s not a complete dick right?”
“He mightn’t be a complete dick to you, but he’s still a dick” I said as though it was a matter of fact, Josh just shook his head “What? He is a dick”
“He’s not as bad as other people”
“I know”
“So I take it you’re not going to kill him?”
“Not yet, I was about to then you came and ruined it all” I smiled at him and we both began to laugh.
“Well hold off a bit longer, please”
“I will, I need him to pass since Mr Pitt hates me”
“Well he does have fair reason to”
“He needs to learn to let grudges go” it was in freshman year when I put glue on his chair, which he had coming since he put me on detention for ‘talking back’ when I was only stating a point and I happened to be right.

Josh parked in front of ‘Jay’s restaurant’ “What? I thought you said we were going to burger king!”
“I did say that, but I lied” I poked my tongue out at him as we went inside the restaurant. It was fancy.
