"Oh my gosh Ryder. You won't believe it but dude, you needed to see Jaden's face when he walked up to everyone that day, right after practice and told us the truth. I thought he was joking at first but when I saw how serious he was looking, I just knew, oh I freaking knew right there and than that,dude was serious and even worst, he was totally whipped" Noah narrated between laughs and everyone just nod and burst out laughing as well, causing Jaden to more than growl under his breath.
Currently, the scene in my room is not one the doctor or nurses might want to see but am totally grateful for. Everyone from the basketball team that is friends with me, are all cramped up inside my room and taking up all the space.
Nathan and Oliver are squeezed into the small sofa by the corner while Jaden sat beside me on the bed. Cooper stood not far from the entrance, as he leaned causally against the wall, while Noah on the other hand, stood i

Ryder's POV*I sat down on the bed with my feet dangling over to the floor. A man dressed in a white lab coat that was obviously my doctor stood before me, with both his brows kneaded deep in concentration as he stared down at the clipboard in his hands, while murmuring incoherent words under his breath.Counting from one to ten in my head, I cleared my throat slightly, gaining his attention at last. Raising a single brow at him, I carefully folded my arms across my chest, careful not to press heavily on the tender scar around there."Am I free to leave or not doctor" I hope he says yes because I need to get out of here before tomorrow. The final tournament is holding tomorrow and I don't want to miss it. I have to be there for my team and a particular golden hair captain of course. I just need to get the doctor's approval and get out of here for good.He stared at me for a split second with twitching eyeballs before nodding at me. "According to t

Jaden's POV*Tonight is the day we all been training our butt off for. Winning tonight game can leave us with a future to look forward to, especially for people like me hoping to get a scholarship to college and loosing would mean looking for another means to survive through college but just like coach Mike said earlier. Loosing tonight game doesn't mean we are failures, it simply means we should put in more work and come back better but I doubt there would be another chance like this one for me.This is my last year of high school and also my only chance to make something out of it. My parent already did their best saving up enough money to carry us through highschool and even though Jasmine doesn't know it yet, we only have enough to send one of us to college and that's why I need this scholarship, that way Jasmine will have enough funds to go through college without stress.I only found out recently and telling her about it won't change anything

*note: this chapter will be written in two point of views. First from Jaden's then Ryder's so take note.Jaden's POV.*The crowd erupt into a loud cheer as we sprint into the court, my eyes immediately scanning the bleachers for Ryder. My eyes caught sight of him among the last row and it's crazy how he is looking at me too. I held his gaze for another moment before refocusing on the task at hand.The clock was about to start ticking and the crowd was relentless in cheering us to victory. We went over the rules of the game with the referee before we took our positions. Before the ball get toss in the air, I clear my mind of every single noise and whisper as I focus more on the ball.For the next twelve minutes, give or take, the only thing that matters is getting this ball through that hoop as many times as possible.I look over to my right and Oliver seem to be mirroring my thought exactly. I allowed the cheers of the spectators wash over me and through me,fueling the adrenaline pum

Jaden's POV*Ryder and I ended up back in my house and inside my room to be exact. My whole muscle aches like never before and instead of spending 50 buck at spa tomorrow, he offered to massage me first. At first I thought he was kidding around or just wanted to see me butt naked and spread out like yummy candy before his eyes but boy, was I wrong? Not only does Ryder have pretty magic fingers. He also knows exactly how to unknot my fucking tensed muscles just fine."Are you better now?" He question from right on top of me and I groan into the pillow before replying."Not yet. I'm going to need you to go a little lower and faster than that and work it some more"And just like I wanted, he added more of that coco scenting oil i got from Jasmine room into his palm and slap it to my flesh before his hands began to work their way down to the arch in my back and causing my eyes to roll all the way back when he made it to the exact spot I wanted."Yup. Right there babe. That's the fucking

Ryder's POV*After walking around hand in hand, Jaden and I spotted an ice cream truck by the road side and went for it. We ordered for two vanilla with extra cherry at the top.Before I could take out my wallet and and pay for it, Jaden already beat me to it as he quickly handed the lady a few bucks."Hey, I really wanted to pay for that. You have been spending for us all night?"I said with a little sad pout.He gave a shrug, "I don't mind spending for us and besides, you did all the spending when we went out on a movie date last time so it's my turn""Alright" I told him with a smile and he reached out and pulled me closer to his side, his arms wrapped protectively across my shoulder while the other one held on to his ice cream comb.I took a lick at mine and felt the flavor melt in my mouth. "Umm, This taste so good" I have moaned and commented.Jaden gave with a questioning look before he answered with a nod and took a lick at his."You are right, this actually taste pretty good"

Ryder's POV*The rest of the day drone out slowly with preparation for our final exams. I barely even saw Jaden, making my day even more boring than it started out.I sent him a text earlier and he only replied with a heart emoji and a talk to you later.I can't believe how much am missing him even though am pretty much seated with the guys and they haven't stopped chattering on top of their voices."Why are you sulking?" Nathan asked me out of nowhere with furrowed brows."I'm not sulking Nat" I snapped at him."Yes you are" he said poking his middle index at me. "You look so sad without Jaden and it's starting to hurt my eyes pretty bad" he said and began laughing.Noah smack him over the shoulder with a weak glare. "Quit making fun of him. It's already hard enough that Jaden is not here to cheer him up. I mean, you wouldn't know since you haven't been in love and all" he gave me a sympathetic look and I just scoffed at him.Oliver and Cooper just chuckle under their breath, obviou

Jaden's POV*"So, where are we going?" I said to Ryder as he handed me his helmet with a smirk."You will find out when we get there. Now, C'mon" He gave me a wink then his leg swung over and he positioned himself on his bike with a flick of his hair that was starting to look longer than usual.He did so in a perfectly and effortlessly way. Just like a fucking rock star would. I mean, he was already looking the part. Black jacket with equally dark ripped jean and boots.He was fucking perfect.I snapped out of my drooling and placed the helmet over my head and then pushed myself up and over the bike and immediately link my hands around his waist. And not once did I forget to sniff in his scent into my lungs. He smell so fucking divine and edible."You ready?" He called back at me and my grip tighten in response."Let go"The motorcycle engine roar to life instantly and next thing I know, we had sped past the school gates and also out of sight and towards an unknown destination."What

Jaden's POV*"Wait, is it just me or Alec seem a little pissed back there" I finally let out a breath once we got home and went up the stairs and into the safe comfort of my room.Ryder gave a careless shrug as he took off his shoes before jumping on my bed with a loud sigh. "I don't know, I think he was just his usual nosy self"Maybe am just being jealous but still, I wasn't very comfortable around the guy and that's just pretty much it.Taking off my shoes and shirt as well, I slipped into bed beside him and he immediately reached over and pulled me closer before kissing the top of my head with a sigh.We just lay in that position for a bit, no word uttered, just listening to each other heart beat before I heard him yawn loudly."Can I crash here tonight?" He asked while peering down at me with heavy eye lids.Wrapping my arms around his midrib, I held him closer before nuzzling my face into the fabric of his clothes. "Is that a yes?" He asked between laughs."Stay forever" I tol
