"I don't know about you guys but am sure we are totally gonna win this match" Nathan said with almost certainty before taking a quick bite out of his chicken and salad sandwich.
It was lunch time and we were all seated at our usual table back at the cafeteria. Everyone was eating and chatting about the previous basketball practice except me. I was barely touching my food as well as not contributing to the group conservation.
I was completely deep in my own thought and staring blanks at everyone else.
Noah gave a small nod in agreement at Nathan's direction, "you're right bro. We have everything it takes to really win this one" he paused and turned to look at me.
"What do you say captain?"
I answered with a careless shrug and just leaned back down with a sigh, my elbow placed against the table.
Noah equally sighed, his brows now raised at me completely, "what's wrong man, you don't look very happy today"

*A whole minute went by with me just standing there and wishing for the ground beneath to open up and just swallow me whole but it didn't and instead had my entire wall crumbling right before me.I could feel my heart beating right out of my chest in a panic attack.What the fuck does he mean by 'he doesn't regret the damn kiss'. Was that statement supposed to make me feel any better? Because I totally do not.I feel angry and pained at the same time and above all?, lost. I was completely and totally short of words to say to him as he stood staring at me, probably expecting me to say something to reply him but I don't.Ryder on the other hand looked really hopeful as his emerald green eyes kept narrowing at me still with a hint of smile on his face.For fuck sake.To think that, this moment was the exact reason i didn't want him to remember in the first place and now that he has and he somehow thinks am cool with
*I hurried over to the bed without a word and pulled Jasmine off him, which also send her rolling to the other side of the bed with a loud yelp.I quickly jumped on Ryder and landed a clean punch to his jaw before he could even think to say or do anything else to stop me."How dare you touch my sister" I yelled and punched him even harder."Stop it Jaden, what are you doing?you are going to kill him" Jasmine began to scream at me to stop while trying to get me off Ryder but I wouldn't budge. In fact, It only made me even more angrier and i landed another punch to his jawline and another to his nose."I told you to stay the fuck away from my sister, didn't I?" I sneered at him through gritted teeth only to have the corner of his lips pulling up in a twisted little smile.What's so fucking funny?Is he freaking insane or what? Ryder seemed totally not bothered by my actions. I mean, not even one bit. Apart from the
*I walked past Ryder and sat down at my usual spot and Oliver walked over and sat down beside me as well before leaning over at my desk."I'm so sorry man, I didn't mean to call him names or insinuate anything as well. It's really lame of me" Oliver said sincerely and I sighed but turning on my butt to face him."There is no need apologizing to me man. It's Ryder should be apologizing to not me but anyways, I don't think he heard you so no point apologizing but like I said before, don't say it again"He gave a single nod, "you got it man. I won't, ever again"Just about then, Mrs. Steward walked right in and got everyone to settle down. she also went ahead to announce another one of her impromptu test, causing a loud groan to erupt throughout the whole classroom."This test is going to make up part of your over all scores, so instead of complaining, you might want to get serious with it because it's for your own good"Mrs. Steward ha
*Of all the fucking things I thought Ryder was going to make me do after agreeing to do absolutely anything to earn his forgiveness, I never imagined he was going to ask that I accompany him to the theatre to watch a movie.A freaking damn movie guys. That's what Ryder fucking wants.I kept staring at his really calm demeanor thinking he was just kidding around but he totally wasn't. In fact, he was just as serious as a freaking heart attack.I shifted from one foot to the next, my brow slightly raised at him, "You are not kidding?".Ryder snorted at me with an eye roll. "I'm dead serious alright?. I already got two tickets just in case you were wondering so yeah, I'm not kidding around"My mouth was practically hitting the floor at his words in disbelief, "you already got tickets?, I mean is this like a date or something?""Yeah, well I mean no. We are just gonna go watch movies like two buddies" he answered simply with a tight smil
*Thirty minutes into the movie and my breathing pattern had changed drastically. Everything turned out to be just as bloody reminding me so much of the night my parent had that car crash.I need to get out of there before I loose my mind and start panicking.As though he could hear my inner thought, I felt Ryder's arm around me tighten a little bit and I inhaled a shaky breath, trying my damn hardest not to look like a nancy even though I was already loosing my cool.I jumped out of my seat when I couldn't stand the sight of the antagonist chainsaw slashing through its victim flesh, my feet running towards the door, with Ryder closely behind me in pursue."Jaden, wait up man"I pushed the door open and ran straight into the lobby not stopping for a second until I made it outside the building before coming to a stop, my breath getting hitched in my lungs painfully.I can't breath.Ryder found me bend over and trying to ca
*I pushed myself off the door frame when i heard the sound of his bike roared back to life and fade into the far distance.I was still smiling to myself just thinking about our conversation a while ago,heading towards the stairs but stopped in my tracks when I noticed a faint light filtering from the kitchen door and decided to check it out.Jasmine was seating across the kitchen island with a half eaten cup of ice cream seating before her. She seem rather sad and lost in her own thought.I just stood there for another minute or two staring at my sister and wondering if i should just mind my goddam business for once at that point or stick my nose in hers and get scoffed at but even without thinking much, I already knew that, the rational part of me would always win the battle and so I took a deep breath before making my presence known either way."Hey" I called at her.She sighed and gave me a sideways glance. "Hey?"I was stil
Hell no.Not going to happen.None of her ideas have been good so far and neither is this one.Jasmine is just out to make my life impossible just for the fun of it, and that's something am absolutely sure of.If she thinks am gonna let her get away with messing with me then she has got another thing coming for her but before I could stop her, she already tore the little parcel in her hand and revealed a white cut out card with a hand written note on it and immediately her eyes lit up with a megawatt smile spread on her face.Another minute went by with me just standing there with wide eyes just thinking the very worst about what was probably written on that piece of paper.Damn.I finally let out a puff of breath I didn't realize I was holding when I notice it was really nothing serious or Jasmine wouldn't be smiling right now.Ryder was fucking crazy after all. I mean, who the fuck told him I needed a hand written note sent t
*I walked back into the living room and sank into the cushion, feeling totally sad and depressed. The house suddenly feels empty just like the feeling rising in the pit of my stomach.I pushed it back and picked up the TV remote and flick it on and began to scroll through a lot of uninteresting program one after the next.I just knew I was wasting my time because almost everything was starting to pretty much look like a blur.I got tired after a while and decided to settle for a Korean drama about some guy getting his heart broken over a love that was not meant to be in the first place, totally reminding me of my situation with Ryder.It's just fucking crazy.I totally want to love him like my heart is telling me to but yet I still can't help but loose my senses thinking about this other things and how my decision can cause them pain and the thought of it alone is driving me nut, especially now that I can't seem to get him out of my t
