21-Brilliant plan
God damn me to hell and back.I just woke up and every stupid thing I had done last night rushed to my memory as I sat up on my bed."Oh my God! Oh my God! What have I done?" I can't believe I was reciting Disney animation lines to Ryker, I even sang on the street. On the fucking street!!!God! How many times do I have to embarrass myself in front of him?I glanced at the side of the room and saw that Sam was still sleeping and what's worse, she still had that tight tube top on.Then I recalled the kiss she had with that guy yesterday. Sam was really wild and crazy, for her to allow the guy to put his hand inside her top, in front of everyone. That was so freaking crazy!Well, she wanted to get railed so badly so I guess she enjoyed it. I wondered if anything happened between them after Ryker and I left yesterday.I got down from the bed and walked towards the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.One thing I like about myself is that I never get a hangover. No matter the quant

22-Mine
It was noon on Saturday and I was almost done with my shift at Macy's. The shop was doing so well, it was always filled with customers. Seth had changed and added a few things in the menu, he also increased our pay which means more money for me. I was so excited when he gave us the payment for this week not long ago. Jasmine and I had been studying at the library and when she came over to my hostel yesterday, we got to know each other better. She was a nice person, just like Sam. I hadn't seen Ryker since the night of the party, because I had obviously been avoiding him. Sometimes I'd pass the back door of the café whenever he and his friends came around.Yesterday, I waited in the kitchen until they left before going home. If Lucy noticed the way I had been acting, she didn't say anything about it and I liked it that way. I don't think I couldn't explain what happened to someone else.My phone beeped from a message and I saw that it was my best friend.Dylan: Hey, Shea.Me; D!Dyl

23Ryker placed his hands on my shoulders, setting my skin on fire, different feelings settled in my stomach and I tried so hard not to blush in front of his friends.I looked up and saw that Cassie was glaring at me, Ryker noticed too but he didn't care about it. He greeted the guys and turned to look at the girls. "Ryker, it's been a while." Laurel said with a smile on her face. I liked her lilac acrylic nails, they were pretty. I loved acrylic nails but whenever I used them, no matter how long I tried to keep them, I always discard them the second day. Back in high school, I was so excited when I used them for prom, but then, to wear my clothes was a struggle, I couldn't wear my earrings, brush my teeth, cream my body or even comb my hair. My mom had to help me with everything back then. As soon as prom was over, I yanked them off and I've haven't thought of using them since then."Yeah, it has. I didn't expect to see you guys here." Ryker said, casting a side glance at Brandon wh

24-Disaster
My breath hitched in my throat and my cheeks reddened as I stared at Ryker, who just stared at me back with a smile on his face.What the hell?How could he smile like that after kissing me, well technically, I was the one who kissed him, it was me who closed my stupid eyes and moved closer to him. Why did I close my eyes?And how could he smile like that when I was mentally breaking down and freaking out. Everyone was silent. They just stared at us like they had never seen two people kiss before.Chad cleared his throat and said, "well, what's done is done. Ryker! Truth or Dare?" "Dare, obviously." Ryker said with a smirk on his face.Why didn't he say anything when the card slipped from his mouth?Did he let me kiss him intentionally?Did he like me?How could he act so cool and be so coordinated like nothing had happened? Maybe I was the one overreacting. It was just a small kiss, a mistake. That's all it was."You never disappoint. I dare you to switch your t-shirt with Shea." C

25-Emotional
I breathe in deeply as my eyes slowly peeled open. Sunlight filtered into the room through the gap in the curtain. I blinked for a moment before realizing that I wasn't alone. My heart picked up speed as my eyes fell on Ryker's face. I thought he had left after I had fallen asleep.He looked more peaceful than I'd ever seen him. His chest moved rhythmically up and down as he breathed. His hot air fanned my face, sending chills down my spine. His left hand was wrapped around my waist while his right arm was still under my head. His arm must have gotten numb from the weight of my head on it for so long, the thought of it made my heart ache.I tried to get up by slightly pushing his hand away from my waist, to avoid waking him, but his hand only wrapped around me more tightly and he pulled me closer to him, placing my head directly under the crook of his neck."Stop it, Bruno." He murmured in his sleep. I swallowed as I watched as his Adam's apple bobbed.Who was Bruno?"Ryker?" I called

26-Selfish
Dylan and I walked into the hospital mom was brought into, the nauseating smell of disinfectant that I had always hated filled the lobby. Dylan told me to wait while he went to speak with the receptionist, after filling out a form, he came back to meet me."She's in room 107." He told me."Let's go." I said with a shaky breath.We went up the flight of stairs and then we got to another hallway, we began to search for the room with that number."Ugh! Why is the room so hard to find?" I groaned as I stared at room 115."I think it's that one." Dylan said as he pointed at a room at the far end of the hall.Just as we neared the room, I saw my dad coming out of there. He looked tired and he had dark circles around his eyes. He looked up and as soon as he saw me, his face lit up with a wide smile. I ran towards him and threw my shaky hands around him."Dad... How is she?" I asked as tears started to well up in my eyes again."She'll be fine, she'll be fine, Shea." Dad assured me, as he kis

"So, how is it going with you and Lucy?" I asked Dylan as I stuffed my mouth with the pizza we bought at the hospital cafeteria.A smile appeared on Dylan's face as he rested his arms on the table that was between us."Well, I asked her out on a date this coming Saturday and she agreed. I hope it goes well.""Hmm, I hope it goes well too. I'm so glad you've finally moved on from Rebecca." I told him with a smile. Rebecca was his ex-girlfriend and she broke up with him after highschool because she couldn't deal with long distance relationships. We all knew that was a lie, she was just hungry for college boys and she probably thought that Dylan's level was too low for her."What about you?" He asked with a smirk.I knew what he was asking but I decided to play dumb, "what about me?" I asked and I took a sip from my pineapple juice."You know what I am talking about. Your guy, Ryker." He said as he rested his back on the chair and folded his arms across his chest."He is not my guy-""Ye

28-Toxic
I walked into the designated class the next morning and sat in the middle row. The lecture had not started yet, so only a few people were in class. I plugged in my earphones and listened to some music, bobbing my head to the beat.People filtered into the lecture hall as it was almost time for the lecturer to arrive. Then I froze because wearing blue jeans and a solid black crew neck, Ryker walked confidently into the class.Shit! He was taking this class?"Oh my God! No fucking way." I muttered to myself in disbelief.Before I could look away, Ryker's gaze locked with mine from the bottom of the auditorium. A surge of emotions coursed through me as he started to make his way towards me. My heart thundered in my chest as I quickly averted my gaze and started to lipsync to the song that was currently playing to distract myself, but then it ended and the next one refused to play. I nervously grabbed my phone and tried to unlock it as Ryker neared me but I realized that it was dead.Fuck

Dylan came to meet me at the library and he took me to the ice cream shop near my hostel. A friendly chime welcomed us as we made our way inside. A few people from school dotted the area. A girl greeted us and we moved closer to her to place our order."One scoop of chocolate and one scoop of peanut butter ice cream for her and one scoop of blueberry cheesecake and another of berry blast ice cream for me." Dylan ordered for the both of us as he placed his hand over my shoulder.The girl grabbed a bowl and scoop, she plopped a big scoop of blueberry cheesecake ice cream into the bowl before scooping the berry blast."Thank you," I muttered to Dylan."Anything for you, cry baby." He said with a smile.I gave him a playful glare as the girl placed our order in front of us. We took them, paid and walked back to the car."So, tell me what happened?" Dylan asked as he dug into his ice cream."I met Ryker." I told him as I ate a spoonful of ice cream."And?""I told him to leave me alone be

Ryker's POVFuck!I blew it. I blew it all up. I felt like shit when she asked if she was one of those girls I fuck around with. She was a lot more than that. And she was right, she needed to stay away from me, because I always hurt everyone around me, I don't want her to be part of that. She deserved a better person. She deserved more, there was no way I could show her that I was capable of loving someone, because this was just a fucking bet. Damnit! It is too late to back down from the bet now. Brandon would proudly brand me as a loser and I wasn't a loser. Fuck! I wish I hadn't agreed to that bet, maybe things might have been a little different between us. I opened the door of my apartment to see Felix playing with Bruno. He had informed me that he would be coming over today."Hey, man." I greeted him as Bruno circled around me , wagging his tail happily, I smiled at him a little and pat his head before he went back to Felix."Hey..." Felix said as he observed me. This guy was
