3rd person POV

Of course, news travels fast…

Ryan raised an arrogant brow as he stared at the picture of Vienne and that of the scholarship boy in the school's group. He'd seen the one from the other night at the club house.

The latest one was from just this morning and it was one of them holding hands and walking along the corridor.

What was Vienne thinking?.

Just then two of his friends strolled in.

“Talk about crazy, Ryan. Isn't Vienne one?” Shawn said plopping down beside him.

“The scholarship boy, really?” Seth laughed.

And his laughter somehow irked him, causing a twitch on his lips. That had felt like a mockery from Seth. That was it.

“Is that supposed to be funny?” He threw humourlessly at him causing the laughter on his lips to die a bit.

“Relax…” Seth said, trying to stop his smile, but he couldn't help it, he passed a glance at Shawn who seemed to be in the same dilemma.

“Relax Ryan. It's just funny” Shawn said to him trying to touch his arm which was flipped instead.

This was it.

Was Vienne trying to make him a laughing stock? That stupid girl.

It was just a simple one night thing with the scholarship boy and she's already trying to make it into something big. Typical Vienne Reyes. He sneered at no one in particular.

“She's moved on real quick”

“Or she's being stupid” he spat. “I'm pretty sure it's just a one night thing between them. Trust me, she's so in love with me to move on that quick. Would you compare that boy to me?”

That's it. Comparison. It tasted sour after he said it. He shouldn't even be in the same sentence with that Calloway boy. 

But the room had fallen silent.

Seth and Shawn shared a look. Already comparing the two guys in their head. Ryan's got the money and a bit of brilliance while Damon's got the looks and athletic skills.

“What?” Ryan asked, not liking their silence. Were they really comparing?

“Nothing”.

Amelia strolled in a few seconds later.

“Ryan…” her voice sickeningly sweet that the other two boys had to cringe. She found her seat beside her boyfriend, snuggling way too close. “I was wondering where you were. Didn't see you at the cafeteria”

“Not hungry,” Ryan said, reaching out to pat her on the head before stroking her face. Slight affection could be seen in his eyes.

“Can I have your ticket then?”

“Yeah” he lazily said and there was a brief sharp recall in his head. Vienne… she would have asked if something was bothering him or not feeling too well…

He brushed it off as fast as it came. Humans are different, Vienne and Amelia were both different women. 

He fished out the ticket before handing it to her and almost immediately, she peppered his face with light kisses and he smiled. Amelia snuggled closer to him and only he knows what she's doing at the moment; her hand had found its way into his shirt and the kisses were not seeming so innocent anymore. He loved it.

That's the difference between her and Vienne. Reyes is almost too bland when it comes to intimacy with him while Amelia is another story. She's wild; she goes all out with her body and gives him what Vienne can't give him. He's done with a girl being too unnecessarily clingy and too much without any spice.

He pulled her closer, matching her energy as they could both care less about the other two guys in the same room. Amelia slowly pulled away.

“Did you see the photos this morning?Isn't Vienne being too pathetic?” She sneered mentally as she asked Ryan.

She still can't get over the embarrassment from this morning. Vienne, that little witch.

“I did.”

“If I didn't know better, I'd say she'd been cheating on you before you broke up with her. What's she trying to do?”

Ryan let out an unbothered sigh. “Let her be. She's still in an impulsive phase. She'd run around for a while and get tired, soon.”

“You mean?”

“That's not who Vienne is. She can't handle things like that”

“Perhaps she's desperately trying to get a reaction from you.”

Ryan smirked smugly. Of course, that was it.

“Let her keep trying then” as long as he knows he's done with her. “We're together and you keep yapping about some other girl, what do you think you're doing?” He grinned.

“My bad” she giggled. “You love me, right?”

“Would you be here if I didn't?”

She giggled once more before rising to her feet. “I'm hungry. The break is about to be over.

With that she sauntered out, making her way obviously to the cafeteria.
