Eleven

I walk into the cafeteria, Ryan is sitting with Lisa and Ash. I walk towards their table, feeling everyone's beady eyes on me, their heads turning to where they think drama is about to erupt, vultures to a carcass.

I try to not look at Lisa and Ash. Looking straight at Ryan and at Ryan only.

"Hey guys, Ryan, can I talk with you real quick?" He looks towards Ash and then at me. Having a tough time choosing between the two of us... it is hard for him to deal with this all but I understand.

"Yeah." He stands up and we walk out of the cafeteria.

"What happened between you and Dylan?"

"He told you about that?"

"Duh, he is my best friend. You like him or what?"

"That's between him and I." Bull

"Ryan, you hurt Dylan and I will have your balls. I will cut off your di*k and feed it to you and you know I can do it."

"Look I don't want to hurt him, he deserves better."

"Then be the better he deserves. You are my friend too and I wouldn't want you hurt and making a terrible decision. You like Dylan, them tell him. He lives next door to Lisa. After practice he will be at Black Beans with me. Decide when you want to talk to him." I say walking to the fields where Noah and Dylan are.

"What do we have here?" Kayla, the now soccer captain walks towards us. Noah went to the toilet.

"Hey Kayla." She looks at me and I am smiling. She has never liked me but I was soccer captain, top achiever and student rep so I was always above her.

"How do you feel that I took your position?"

"I'm happy for you, like always you have my sloppy seconds." Ash slept with her too. That boy really made me a clown.

"I saw you are Josh Mills' flavour of the week, I never thought you would stoop that low." Oh really.

"What's low about being with Josh?" He is an amazing guy.

"I'm sure you have heard about him, always changing girls and being a gangster, every one knows how he gets his money." So?

"And why does it concern you?" It doesn't.

"It is going to be fun when he drops you." I want to punch her but I will not give her the satisfaction.

"I will be looking forward to that day too." Unable to get the reaction she wanted out of me she storms off the fields. I laugh.

What the hell did Ash see in that?

"Everyone is talking about how dangerous Josh is."

"I know, Dylan, it annoys me."

"Noah is cute." He says changing topics. I know he wants to know about Josh but not now. I am not in the mood

"I know, right." We say as Noah walks on the fields and is walking towards us.

"Noah, Dylan and I are bunking." We say walking towards the fence. We use this fence to get out of the school. The trees cover us from being seen and they also help us jump.

We are walking towards Black Beans.

"Hey, Melody." I take my bag and Dylan's and I put them in John's office.

"You going to practice today?"

"Yeah. Coach would kill me." Dylan is helping me man the ship. Melody is taking a break because she hasn't had one. Noah is enjoying his meal.

"You have not told me why you are staying at Josh's place."

"Uhm. I just decided to stay there. It's more convenient then having him sneak into my mom's house. He is a grown man, I cringe at the thought of him sneaking in. It just makes me feel better when he doesn't have to sneak around."

"I get you. How old is he?"

"Twenty five."

"May, he is seven years older than you."

"I know. My mom wants to meet him, how do you think she will react to that?"

"Uhm, hope and pray she doesn't kill you."

"She is going to kill me for staying with him." I say as we laugh.

Before coming here we went to my house so that I can fetch those bills.

I am going to deal with them when Melody's break is over.

"Dylan, you need to go to back to school. You can fetch your bag after practice."

"Thanks. See you after practice." He waves as he leaves the shop.

"Noah, I need to go to the bank, let's go."
We walk out of the shop and make our way towards the bank.

"Yeah, I would like to transfer the money into separate accounts."

"Okay, what are the accounts?"

I hand the names and the account numbers.
"The reference for all of them is Precious Collins." I am going to call my mom later on and tell her about it.

"Noah, stop flirting with the customers!" Noah is trying to help but he keeps on flirting with the customers.

"Sorry, Boss Lady." He says. I'm so not used to being a boss, but I love it! Melody's shift ends at three so after that it is my shift.

It's is now five o'clock and I am tired. The shop is still active because many people want a cake or cupcakes before they go home.

"Josh says that he is going to be late so I have to take you to the house and he will meet us there." Noah says looking apologetic.

Dylan walks into the shop. He is here so I can help him with Chemistry.
Noah said that he will do my job so I can help Dylan.

I have an amazing support system and to think that a week ago, I did not have all of this is surprising.

"Dylan, focus!" pressing the pencil against his bottom lip.

"I want to, and I am trying to." I try to explain this in the simplest way possible and he still doesn't get it so I use guys...

and it works!

"You are a little wh*r*." I say jokingly

"What about you?" He laughs and Ryan walks in.

"May, Can I talk to Dylan, alone?"

"Totally." I say winking to Dylan and he looks at me already knowing that I had something to do with this. I walk to the counter and I already know how this is going to go.

After awhile Ryan leaves and I make my way to where Dylan is.

"How is Dyan?"

"The hell is Dyan?"

"Your shipname."

"Let's not do that."

"What happened?" I think Ryan needs a punch in the face.

"Ryan said that he likes me."

"And?"

"There is no and."

"I know there is." He tools his eyes and softly says.

"He is coming to talk more at my house tonight." I fangirl. I want them to be happy.

"Well, go get ready for your man."

"He said later so let's finish chemistry first."

"Can you focus?"

"I think so."

"Yeah right." I continue to explain but I know that it's pointless.
