Two weeks later.

Today is the day of the tennis tournament and i am really excited for this. I am here to support Pat and Amelia as they play for our school team, The Flying Feet. Such a weird name. I really love tennis but i dont play. I just know a lot about it because i am a Selena Williams fan.

We are now seated on the bleachers waiting for the game to start. Melisa brought a siren horn to cheer. Carol and i designed a banner with the words,

Amelia and Patricia!!
Win or die.

It was kinda my idea, i mean its either they win or die. Of course, we aint normal like the others who write, 'Go Amelia. Go Patricia!'. We had to do our own thing.

The teams had finished warming up and were now getting ready to play against each other.

Our team was first, did i mention the team captain of The Flying Feet was Patricia followed by the second best player in the team who is Amelia. Our school team was first which was playing against Southside High School.

Amelia starts the game by serving to the player on the opposing team. The game continues and the two players score a deuce. So this means that one of them has to score two points in a row to get to the next level. Amelia beats the other player, of course.

"Go Amelia! You fuckin did it!" Melisa yells through the horn. Everyone turns to look at Melisa with shocked eyes because of jer cussing. There are children here for Christ's sake. Poor children!

I turn my head to the side and try finding something interesting to look at.

I don't know her.
.....................................

"The winner of this year's tennis tournament goes to the Flying Feet from Williams high school." The referee anounces.

"I knew you'd do it." Melisa yells from the horn for the sixth time today. The crowds cheer and clap their hands for the team.

I am so proud of Amelia and Pat, most of the scores were by them.
, there was a point i was almost giving up but these girls helped the team to go up.

The team all pile up in a group hug and jump up and down in victory while congratulating each other.

I get a text from Ryder,

Ryder; Nice banner.

How does he know where i am? Is he stalking me?

Me; Are you stalking me?

Ryder; Everyone was seeing your friend yell through the siren.

Oh!

As you all might be confused, the last two weeks, Ryder and i have grown pretty close and we grow closer everyday. I was assigned to work on a project with him in Chemistry which i didn't even know, we share the same class.

We have actually grown to each other and started tolerating each other, well of course the teasing and pranking continues. I have actually started to know me but there are some things he never shares which i totally understand. I mean its not like we are best friends or anything, though i'm still curious.

Me; Where are you?

The girls and i walk up to Amelia and Pat holding the banner next to me.

"Congratulations. I'm so proud of you guys." I say while hugging the with the banner close to my body because they are still very sweaty.

"You know we dont have any infectious diseases, right?" Amelia asks.

"You guys are sweaty." I say while moving away from them before the sweat from their heads drips on me.

I receive a text from Ryder; I'm waiting for you in the parking lot, i know you're hungry so I'm taking you for food.

He knows me too well.

"Ooh......,is it from loverboy?" Melisa asks while stretching her upper body to read my text.

She then coos, "it is from loverboy." Melisa and the girls nicknamed, 'Ryder' loverboy because he has an undying love for me.

"Go ahead!" Melisa says.

"Noo, i can't because i have to stay for Amelia and Pat's celebration party." I say.

"Its okay, the party is at night at Pat's house, you will be there in time." Amelia says while swinging her racquette.

"Are you guys sure?" I ask.

"Sure go ahead, why would you miss a date from your crush?" Carol says.

"It's not a date and he's not my crush." I say while scowling at Carol.

"The more you deny it, the more true it becomes." Melisa sings. I roll my eyes at head to the parking lot to meet Ryder.
...................................................

"So i have an idea, lets play 21 questions." Ryder says after the waiter takes our menus.

"Why?" I ask.

"Just for fun and to know each other more." Ryder says with a shrug.

"Okay fine, you start." I say. How bad could this game turn out?

"If you could star in a movie, what would it be?" He asks.

"I honestly think it would be Twilight." I say. I mean Edward was some hot snack amd i always imagine how it would be if i were a vampire.

"Why Twilight?" Ryder asks.

"I would love to be a vampire and i think Edward was very hot and.." i am cut off by Ryder.

"Okay okay i get. Your turn." He says while switching the topic very quickly.

"Would you rather have a home on the beach or in the mountains?" I ask.

"On the beach, obviously." Ryder says.

"My turn, if you were a superhero, what powers would you have?" He asks.

"Telekinesis." I say because i really love that super power. I always imagine myself lifting objects.

"Lame!" Ryder says while rolling his eyes.

"Oh really, what would you have then?" I ask.

"Teleportation and super strength."

"You are supposed to pick one, damny." I say with an eye roll.

"it would be teleportation." He says with a shrug.

"My turn, movie you never want to watch again?" I ask.

"Titanic."

"What was your childhood nickname?" He asks.

"When i was in elementary school, they used to call me sunshine and there was this boy in the same class who i was shipped with and his name was....." i try to recall

"Rain" Ryder says and i look at him with wide eyes.

"You!" I say while pointing at him.

"You!" He says back.

Ryder... rain. How didnt i see this? I used to be shipped with this boy even back in elementary school.

"How come you learnt from Seattle and are now in San francisco?" I ask.

His eyes darken and his expression turns cold as i say this, "i just moved for a change." Is all he manages to say. I just leave it like that for now.

"I cant believe it was you i was shipped with back then and even now?" I say and quickly covering my mouth realising the mistake in the last words.

Ryder squints his eyebrows, "What do you mean now?" He asks.

"This restaurant is very beautiful, dont you think? We hadnt talked about how lovely it looks." I say while looking around the restaurant.

"Ha ha ha, nice try." Ryder says.
