Here we are

Chapter 11

Ryan's POV

It's been 2 days since I last saw Olivia and I don't know what it is, but I can't stop thinking about her. I've only known her for like a week but it feels like I've known her for my whole life.

I can't have feelings for her. I barely even know anything about her. All I know are simple things like her favorite color, her birthday and age, she goes to my school and..yeah that's pretty much it.

She's really pretty and different from most girls.

Whatever, I'll just forget about it, it's nothing important.

Olivias POV

Today is Sunday, meaning we have school. I've decided that I'll give Mark a chance but only if he apologizes and actually means it.

I have barely any friends so I'm not gonna let this friendship just slip away and let Sara get what she wants.

Third lesson I have a lesson with Mark, so we'll just see what happens then.
———————
It's finally third lesson, math. I sat on the same desk that I did when I met Mark. As always, I'm the first one to arrive.

I sat there waiting for the students to come in. I saw Mark today so he should be here.

Finally, Mark came in. He spotted me right away and started walking towards me. He came and sat next to me. The teacher usually comes late so he started talking.

"Hey Olivia. I'm really sorry about what happened when you left-" I didn't let him finish.

"Look, I know you like Sara so I'm not judging you and I accept your apology but I am still kinda pissed off but I really wanna be friends with you so yeah"

"No no I don't like Sara like that, we got drunk and that happened but I only like her as a friend. Thanks for accepting my apology and I get that you're still pissed off." He said.

I just smiled and started doodling in my book. I was drawing Ryan's house, well also Mark's house. That reminds me "Mark?"

"Yeah"

"Why didn't you tell me that you're related to Ryan?" I asked.

"Oh, I'm not really proud of that so I like to keep it a secret" he said, which kind of confused me.

"I know, most people would be happy but I don't like the attention so I don't like telling people" mark said, answering my thoughts.

"Yeah, that makes sense" I said, understanding what he said.

I don't like having attention either, so I understand.

"Alright class, shut up" Ms Anderson said while coming into the class.

Looks like someone is on their period.

School was decent today. Nothing crazy happened. Mark and I were chatting through most of the classes.

Right now I'm doing my homework at grandmas house. My grandma is just watching tv while I'm finishing my math homework which is due tomorrow. Fun.

Suddenly I got a notification from messages. I opened my phone and saw that it was a random person. It said 'watch your back, Olivia. You don't know what's coming for you' ppffttt if someone was trying to scare me, then they failed.

How did they get my number?? Whatever it's probably some dumb kids at school.

Half an hour later, I got another message from that same number. It said 'you can think it's a joke all you want but it won't be really funny when I get you'. Okay that's a bit creepy.

How did they know that I thought it was a joke. Right now I couldn't focus on my work. "Uh I gotta go grandma I'll see you soon. Love you" I said and quickly left.

Okay, I'm panicking. This is really creepy. I don't know what I'm gonna do about this. I can't report it to the police because it could just be a joke and we're not sure if it's something serious.

Maybe I could tell Ryan and he could help me. Or Mark. But what would they do?

Wait. Ryan is really good with computers, maybe he could help me track this number.

This wasn't something that should be explained over the phone, so I'll go to his house and tell him.

I didn't bother changing my appearance, this is something urgent. I tossed a few things in my bag and cycled to Ryan's house.

Once I arrived, I didn't waste any time. I knocked so many times. Finally I heard someone coming up to the door.

The door came open and Mark came into view.

Crap.

I forgot they live together.

"Umm is Ryan here"I asked nervously

"Yeah, why?" Mark asked.

I was just gonna make up a lie "uh we have an ICT project that we need to complete together" I felt bad for lying but I had to. I didn't want him to know, at least not yet. I didn't want him to be worried about me. It's already enough that I'm bringing Ryan into this.

"Ok" he said. "RYAN!" He screamed.

Wow. He's freaking loud. Geez.

"Geez Mark, you wanna break my ears"

He chuckled at that. When Ryan came and saw me, he smiled but also looked a bit confused.

"Hey Ryan, we need to finish that ICT project. We can do it at my place" I said with a tone that said go along with it.

"What proj-" I gave him a look then he acted like he remembered and said "oh yeah, it's due tomorrow"

"Yup" I said. The tension is definitely there. We were awkwardly standing face to face and mark beside Ryan, looking really confused. To break the silence, Mark said "okay, you two get going imma get back to my game". Finally.

"Ok, bye" I said

"Bye" Mark said before walking up the stairs. Once I heard his door shut, I pulled Ryan outside and closed the door behind him.

"What the hell. What's going on. We don't have a project" Ryan said, sounding mad.

"Well duh" I said and he rolled his eyes. "Something happened and I need your help" I replied.

"Okay, are you gonna explain or.."

"Right, Umm. I've been getting death threats from an unknown number"
