THE DISTANCE

Chapter Two- DON'T CRY OVER A SPILLED POMEGRANATE SMOOTHIE

Carson's Pov:

We pulled into our highschool's parking lot and of course Ryann pulled into the handicap spot closest to the school doors, her parents can afford the tickets. Her adoptive parents are some rich doctors that travel all the time for work to practice medicine. Ryann is everything you want to be. She is a balanced combination of beautiful and badass. She is by far the curviest girl in school, but doesn't show it off much. What she does show off on the other hand is the parts of her body which are fully covered in tattoos.

Her favorite tatt has to be the one she has matching with Elena and I. It's tucked just beside her heavily sleeved arms on the side of her right  wrist. Ryann, Elena and I are night owls, so we got matching crescent moons at some sleazy tattoo parlor downtown New York. She got her kick ass knife tattoo from there when she was only 17, it runs down the side of her left calf. She's five foot six with long, brown wavy hair fitting her frame perfectly. She has forest green eyes that can go from friendly to fierce in under a second. She is stunning but puts almost zero effort into her appearance. It's supposed to be some I don't give fuck attitude I guess. She has had that attitude since she moved into her adoptive home in my dad's neighborhood when she was 10. As pretty as she is, she is also extremely crazy, annoying, bitchy and feisty. She will do whatever it takes to have her way.

"Can we go to the pit real quick? I need to talk to Spencer." Ryann says as we are unloading our bags and bodys out of the car. Ryann and Spencer have been off and on for the past three years, I honestly think she started dating him for the same reason she started racking up parking tickets. A sad attempt to try and get attention from her parents but they don't bat an eye. They would even buy them plane tickets and book five star hotels for them to go on vacations together. If someone asked me to describe Spencer in five words this is what I would say: Crackhead wanna be Machine Gun Kelly. This is nothing against Machine Gun Kelly but Spencer is super tall, hella lanky, blonde and basic. He even likes to be called "daddy" all the time in bed, or so Ryann says.

His thinning hair and gross pedo stache just top it off. He also has some really bad tattoos. It's even gotten to the point every time he gets a new one Ryann tells us to act shocked and amazed by the "stunning" art. Last year he certainly shocked us when he got Ryann's name tattooed across his chest in massive letters. The thing that shocked us all wasn't her name, but in fact how it was spelt. Two years together and he spelt it R-I-A-N-N. He's Hudson New York's small time drug dealer, pot and cheap xanax are his top sellers. He is a complete dumbass all around and Ryann deserves a lot better. We tell her every time they fight but she refuses to listen.

Me and Elena agreed reluctantly to accompany Ryann because we know some shit is about to go down. We all walk over to the pit when I see Spencer with his lanky, cheap tattooed arm around a girl's shoulder and I quickly look over at Ryann to see her expression is what I can only describe as the look of death. It's like her regular resting bitch face but amplified by a thousand that is what her face looked like at this moment.  I knew things were about to go down and I nugged Elena because she was too focused on messaging her boyfriend to notice. Suddenly she burdened the same look of horror I had, she went wide eyed. We both knew this wasn't going to end well.

Next thing I knew Ryann marched angrily right up behind him, popped open the lid to her extra large booster juice smoothie and poured it all over Spencer and the poor random girl caught in the crossfire. When they reared their heads in shock and turned to look at Ryann she screamed "WE ARE DONE FOR GOOD! YOU'RE A GOOD FOR NOTHING LOW LIFE PIECE OF SHIT!" Ryann knew in that moment that was the best she could do, the whole pit knew. She had too many incidents on her file, one more fight and she would risk getting expelled. So doing what sneaky Ryann does, she took the safe route this time. As much as I know she wanted to beat them both to a pulp, she just couldn't.
