Christmas In California

Day: 10 "Is it a deal?"

Faith:

I woke up the next day, feeling better than ever, except the fact that I have my period still.

I reach over to my phone and check my messages.

Ryker: meet me today, at this address, ************.

My face scrunches up in confusion.

He wants to meet me?

Faith: what. Why?

Ryker: We need to talk.

Faith: Pfft. No we don't.

Ryker: yes we do.

Faith: no.

Ryker: Faith... Yes.

I hate that I actually thought he was my best friend.

Annoyed I type fine without thinking only to regret it as soon as I typed it. I try to unsend it but it is too late. I don't wait for his reply as I shut my phone off and fall back on my bed.

Great, a nice day is officially ruined. I wanna go back to sleep now. Ugh.

I shut my eyes tight for a moment before sitting up and opening them with a large smile on my face.

Today is a good day.

I'm not going to let him, ruin it.

With that I started my day.

Walking like a penguin, I head to the address where Ryker asked me to come.

I know I could've just stayed and not go but I'm like someone who ditches a plan and leaves the other to shiver in cold.

I see him standing there with a blank look his face.

I waddle towards him and stand in front of him staring directly in his hazel eyes.

"What do you want?" I asks when he doesn't say anything.

"I wanted to have a talk, with you." He smirks.

"Make it quick, I don't have much time for people like you." I say with sass.

"Whatever. Listen I need you to know that you will never be my best friend again but for cassie and owen, we are going to have to put our hate aside. " He says his words carefully.

Thats why he made me come here?

I scoff and roll my eyes before answering. "Listen, I have no interest in being your friend or even enemy because I don't like keeping them. So if you think I will be your friend again, you better think again. I will only act nice to you in front of Lucy or Cass, other than that I don't even see your face." I sneer.

He takes a step towards me, looking at me with amusement in his eyes. I don't step back instead I stay rooted at my face. Right now we are standing this close that if I stick my tongue out it will touch his lips.

This proximity makes my heart go beating fast but my face is stone cold.

"I don't want to be someone's friend who runs away because of their selfishness." He whispers making me look away from his eyes.

He really just went there.

"Good, because I'm sure that person doesn't want to be your friend either." I say before backing away and walking off. 

I walk in the direction of Amy's house as I start to wonder on his words.

He really doesn't wanna be my friend neither does he want to see me. He is doing this for Cassie and Owen.

Cassie.

Shit. That means he actually might like her! Oh god!

I shut my thoughts and keep repeating to my self that I don't care about him. I don't like him. He isn't my friend.

Yep. Makes it better.

I get home, change, chat with Cassie and eat. My average routine.

Before going to sleep I asked myself a question which I don't think can be answered without asking him.

"Is it a deal?"
