Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Love Like No Other: Ryo and Oliver's Journey(Book 1): Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

My name is Ryo, I’m 16 years old and I’m in high school.I love music; I spend more time listening to music than I do anything else. I like school but I wouldn’t bat an eye if I couldn’t go anymore.I have one friend; I’ve known her since first grade. We have a lot of fun together and we love swapping playlists. It helps us discover new music and we get to see who has the best musical taste (It’s me of ‘course.)I wish the information I gave you made any contribution to this conversation but it doesn’t. I said all of that to get to one point.I’m in love; I am completely and utterly in love with a boy.I don’t know what makes him tick; I don’t know what type of music he likes. I don’t know what he does in his spare time. But I do know I’m in love with him.I shouldn’t be in love with him but I am.I know nothing good will come from me fant

“Okay, how are we going to do this?” Kelly says looking at Jameson, Oliver and I. “I know you have poetry sessions every Wednesday at 4 pm and you have to work Sundays. How do your schedules look?” she asks looking at the boys. I’ve been dreading this moment since I found out Kelly and I are partnering with Oliver and his friend. I still can’t believe my luck. How is it possible that I was grouped with the one guy I would rather die than spend time with. Every time he looks at me I feel like he can see all the secret thoughts I’ve had of him.I feel like I’ve been caught.Kelly told me we had to meet up in Miss Una’s class after school so we can figure everything out. I was tempted to fake a headache so I wouldn’t have to do this. The proximity to Oliver is giving me a headache. I’m tense, anxious and hyper sensitive to everything. I don’t know how I’m going to survive this.

“I have a question.” Jameson says for the 100th time tonight. I give Kelly the side eye because she rolls her eyes every time he says that. She’s had enough of his endless questions for one day. She pokes her tongue out at me and she looks at Jameson visibly annoyed.  Its day one of us working together and I’m already over the Kelly and Jameson dynamic. They argue about everything, the one always thinks the other is wrong. I want to tell them to zip it but I don’t want them to turn on me. They’ve turned on Oliver a few times over the past hour. He’s also over their bickering and he wants silence but it doesn’t seem like we’re going to get the peace we desperately need until we go home. “I have a question for you before you ask yours.” She says looking at me weird because I just kicked her under the table. Why won’t she let the man be? He likes asking questions and she can ignore him and not answer them if she feels they are unnecessary. “Do yo

“Where’s this dude I have to get to poetry.” I say looking at my watch. Oliver texted the group this morning, letting us know he wrote the first draft of the assignment. He wants to give Kelly and I copies so we can review it. So he asked to meet with is here ten minutes ago.“He said he’s running late. He said something about a project for IT or Engineering class. I don’t know.” Kelly says absent mindedly. She says rummaging through her bag looking for something.“Why didn’t he email the damn thing?” I ask confused. Why do we have to sit here waiting for him?“He said he printed the copies.” Kelly says taking out a lunch box I’ve never seen before. It’s not the one she usually uses for lunch.“What? Who prints paper anymore? I don’t even own a printer.” I say and Kelly shrugs looking at me. I can tell she’s not here for my endless question. She&rsq

“The two of you have private chats now. That’s something.” Kelly says when I show her my conversation with Oliver. I roll on my stomach ad watch her read through the conversation. I’m curious to know what she thinks of it. “We don’t, he just wanted to apologize for the way things went down with Marlene.”I say and she gives me the, I don’t believe you look. I reach for the phone but she swats it away before my hand gets to it. I want my phone back if she’s going to be all judgy.   “If that was the case then why is this thread so long? All he had to say is I’m sorry that would have been it.” She says scrolling though the texts. She holds the phone to a height I can’t reach but I can see the screen “Wait this says you guys texted on Wednesday, why am I finding about this on Saturday?” she says looking at me with so much disappointment. The truth is I was still digesting everything that happened, everything feels so new with Oliver. I want to take a moment t
