“I'm not interested,” I replied flatly and Aiden's message popped up, and I decided to use that chance to ignore Ryan, who was still staring at me.He continued massaging my legs while I tried to focus on replying to Aiden, but my mind was clouded.' Let's have a video call,' Aiden texted, I widened my eyes and coughed when he began to call me. Ryan stared curiously and coldly at me, “Is that your boyfriend?” He asked as I gazed at him.“Yeah!” I answered curtly, his jaw twitched, and he looked deplorable.I sighed, thinking whether to accept the call or not, Ryan looked hurt, and now he tried being sane with me, I shouldn't skip that opportunity.Who knows when he will go all grumpy again.Biting my lips nervously, I declined the call and quickly texted Aiden.'Uhm! My mum just entered my room, and we're talking, let's just chat,' I lied, clicking on the send icon and heaved out.He read the message immediately and began typing…'Okay,' He replied.“Aren't you picking the call?” Ryan

I was walking past the sport complex with a book in my hand, hunting down a place to read, when my gaze caught Ryan, he was with his teams practicing.I decided to avoid him today, one of the reasons, I woke up early before anyone could and scooted out of the house.Seeing him now, just crushed me, I thought of ignoring him and keep on walking, but I couldn't help but stay glued at my spot and stare at him.The way his muscles reflexes and contracted at almost the same time drove me off the edge.I didn't realize how long, I've been standing at my spot, the book in my hands now clutched next to my chest, I woke up from my thoughts and noticed Ryan was staring at me too.He smiled at me, making me gasp as I awkwardly turned around immediately and started marching off to nowhere in particular, not daring to glance back and look at him.'What was I thinking, standing there like a moron and staring at him?' I upbraided and frowned at myself as I smacked my lips together.~~It was break ti

“Hailey! Come down for dinner,” Mom announced loudly after knocking on the door of my room.“I will mum,” I replied loud enough for her to hear while removing the blanket covering my body and sitting on the bed.“Okay, be fast, so your food won't get cold,” Mum said, and I sighed, biting my lower lips anxiously.Anxious in the state that I was finding a suitable way to skip dinner tonight.I slumped back on my bed and stretched out my arms and legs like a starfish and contemplated whether to go have dinner or not.It's not like I wanted to avoid having dinner, but I don't want to see the one person I'm avoiding now, Ryan. Ever since he kissed me in the school's restroom, I haven't been myself for the rest of the entire day, and seeing him again tonight will only add to the headache I'm having at the moment.My stomach growled and rumbled, letting me know she didn't give a fuck about what I'm going through and should satisfy and fill the emptiness in the stomach.'No, I'm not having d

I walked through the hallways of the school, self-conscious of my appearance as always. My fingers were wrapped tightly on the strap of my school bag and for some weird reason, I wished I were done with high school.The bell suddenly rang, and every student in the hallway began to run to their classes, the squeaking sounds of shoes on the floor began to cringe annoyingly in my ears.The clink and slamming of lockers were heard loudly as most of the students hurriedly ran to their class when the bell rang for the second time.I was a bit late to school and I have no plans of running to any classes, I don't even feel like attending one.Getting closer to my locker, I unlocked it, turning the lock to the secret numbers I set for unlocking it when it got opened.A wry sigh escaped my lips as I removed one of the bag straps around my left shoulder so, it could come to the front. I unzipped my bag and brought out my literature textbook and arranged the notebooks, which is seemingly improper

As soon as the bell rang for closing, I scooted out of the class, I had called my boyfriend to come to pick me up in school during break, which would stop Ryan from forcing me to follow him home.I stood in the school's park, waiting for Aiden to show up and call me if he was around.My palms felt sweaty, and I repeatedly tap my left foot on the floor as I checked the cars driving into the school's park.“Waiting for someone?” Someone chirped behind me, and for a second, I thought my heart would jump straight out of my mouth.I turned around to see Brielle staring at me with an awkward smile on her face.I heaved out in relief and smiled at her, “Hey, Brielle,” I greeted her, wondering why she approached me.“Anything wrong?” I asked her as she stared at me and a bit anxiously on her lips.“Uhm! It's about Ryan,” She said, and I sighed.I don't want anyone to bring up his name, the way I'm trying so hard to avoid him, what if he just jumps up from somewhere and shows up.“What about h

I got home in the evening after having a crazy day with Aiden, sometimes he just pisses me off and the next minute he goes all caring, I think that's the problem one faces when being in a relationship.I hummed as I made my way to my room, and opened the door just to freeze at my spot.“Ryan!”“What are you doing in my room?” I shrilled out and stared at him curiously as I walked further into the room.He was sitting on my bed, and he looked so moody, and I began to get worried about him.'What's wrong with him?' I thought, moving closer to where he was sitting on my bed."Hey!' I called out since he didn't want to reply to me.“What's wrong?” I questioned, and he finally stared at me, his eyes were a bit red, then he looked away.'Was he crying?' I thought…“Ryan!” I moved closer to him, touching his shoulder slightly.“Are you okay?” I asked with concern, but his silence was killing me.“Look at me,” He didn't move or make any attempt to look at me, instead he just lowered his head

“So, where are we going to?” I asked Ryan, glancing towards him while he focused on the road driving.“You'll see it when we get there,” He answered and turned his head to me as he gave me a wink.I blushed slightly and dragged my gaze back to the window as I stared at the beautiful street and environment of Albany, which looked beautiful and lively during the evening.Ryan got to downtown Albany and finally parked opposite a building that looked a bit old and unique to me…“What's the place?” I inquired from Ryan, staring at how people emerged in and out of one particular building.“The city beer hall,” Ryan answered, and I grinned.“Really? That's great!” I told him, still trying to get a better view of the building.“Are we going there?” I asked Ryan curiously.“You want to go?” He asked, staring into my eyes as I nodded affirmatively.“I could see something spicy to eat over there,” I spoke, and my mouth begin to water, I quickly placed my hands on the seat belt and tried to unbuc

“Be careful,” Ryan warned rushing over to me while I staggered barely getting hold of myself.I was tipsy due to the beer I had…Ryan had gotten us back home, he protectively wrapped his arms around my waist and guided me towards the house.“That was fun,” I bubbled out and laugh slightly, remembering where I danced with the other women and ladies to entertain the men as they cheered us on while I clung on to Ryan like a second skin.Ryan got closer to the door and opened it, my eyes skimmed over the living room, wondering where my mum or stepdad was.“Where's mum?” I asked Ryan, his hands were firm around my waist keeping me in place so as not to fall.“I don't know, we just got back in,” He hinted while I nodded in response.We began walking up the stairs and my head was so light… It felt like I was floating in the air.It wasn't a strong alcoholic drink, yet it still had some effect on me.“Hailey,” We heard a distant voice call us, making Ryan and I stop in our tracks.“That's you
