It's only the Beginning

So the next day I woke up, I didn’t txt Ryan all night and I didn’t know what to do Saturday is tomorrow, and I still don’ have an outfit to wear. I am sure he won’t mind my work outfit. I dug out my phone from its hiding place beneath my pillow; I dialed Ryan’s number into my contacts list. Once I was done I sent him a texted message saying “hey”. After a few minutes I got a “who is this”, so like normal I sent my name, then a few more minutes later he sent “sup”, thus starting our conversation until the prison schedule started. Then it was messages though he breaks between periods.

Lunch came by and to my surprise he was in there as well, he saw me go to the lunch line and came up right be hind me almost scaring me to death…. We don’t say much besides the usual “hey.” When we got to where we usually sit, it was only a few feet away, but he decided to sit with me instead, because I told him I wasn’t really comfortable around most people mostly guys.

So we sat down and started eating Cassidy just giggled, and the others just stared, Cassidy and I had our usual talk. With Ryan now, that’s a hole new story we started talking but I felt like I wasn’t really talk to him like I do Cassidy, I wanted to know what difference there was this time. But as time seemed to stop the bell rang signaling us to go to our next torture chamber.

The prison day finally ended, it was about time, ugh, I couldn’t wait to hang with him at the mall this Saturday, which was luckily in my case just tomorrow. I was still scared as I wasn’t used to him just yet, but I knew that was about to change, just be the way we were talking today at lunch, this is going to be interesting. So I still had to work today and so did Cassidy and Brian, to my car and off we went I couldn’t wait till the end of my shift I finally have some money to spare for my favorite game of all time and it came out for the PSP, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. Brian already has the game, and now I am finally able to go and get it, this is so great.

So I am now off work and about ready to go get that darn game that I haven’t been able to get until now, when I bumped into Ryan, well bumped would be an understatement collided would be more like it, I guess it was my fault because I was kinda running to get there. So he fell over and I fell on top of him when I got out of my mini shock attack I realized that our faces were only a few inches apart. After that I stumbled to my feet as fast as I could, and when I looked down to give him a hand he had a little sad expression on his face. But after he took my hand he got up and had a happy smile on that cute face of his.

“Oh, hey, sorry about that” I tried to say so fast almost forgetting why it all happened and what I was doing before it all happened.

“Hey,” he stated with a little giggle, “ how are you, you didn’t get hurt now did you?

“Oh, no, not a scratch, but hey if you can could you follow me and talk I was on my way to go to game stop,” I said in a bit of a hurried tone.

“Uh, yea, lol why you going there?”

“To get a game, it’s been out for awhile but I keep forgetting to get it and now is my chance while I have the money.”

“Ha-ha, you mean this one” Ryan said while taking out the object in his bag, that I just now noticed.

“HEY. Uh, how…Kingdom hearts…Birth by Sleep…but…when?”

“Ha-ha I just got it today, I guess we have a bit more in common then I thought.”

“Uh, yea I guess so, but I still have to get my copy, so lets hurry,” I said with a laugh, and we both started to run to Game Stop. I texted Cassidy telling her I would be there for the time being and to just go there when she was done, she said ok.

I finally got there, and I won and was first, ha-ha, but that’s besides the point right now is KH time. So I asked Brian where it was cuz I really, really wanted to get it, and fast. He pointed to it and all the cute little things around it. There where even Star shaped friendship things. So I bought the game, the guide, and four of the star things. I got the green one, I gave the orange one to Brian, and later I will give the blue one to Cassidy, and I gave the other green one to Ryan.

“You know you didn’t have to do that, I could have gotten one myself,” he said with a smile clear across his face.

“I know, but I wanted to get you one anyways, so take it or leave it,” I teased.

“Hhhhhmmmmmm, I think I will keep it,” he said then leaned forward and gave me a little peck on my check.

“Uuuhhhhhh” was all I was able to say. But he ran away, but I was still in shock until Brian called out to me, then I ran after him. I finally caught up with him and grab him by the arm and pulled him back really tightly close to my body and I looked sternly into his eyes and simply said, “Why?”

He just kept looking at me for a few minutes, and then I think he snapped out of his shock.

Then I asked again, “why?”

“I don’t know” was all he said. I brought my face to where we were only a few centimeters away from each other.

“Please tell me why,” I begged.

“Because, I… I…I like you ok.” He said sadly, turning his head to the right so I couldn’t see the hurt look on his face. I turned his face to make him look back at me; I kept eye contact, studying his facial expressions, to see if what he said was true. To my surprise he was telling me was true….

“There is no need to be sad, ok,”

“Why is that? You feel sorry for me?”

“Oh, well that’s rude, why would I feel pity for someone like you.” I started before being interrupted.

“WHAT?” he yelled.

“Let me finish, I would never hurt someone, even someone as amazing as you, and to tell you the truth, I might like you as well” I said with a bit of a teasing tone, while turning my head to the right so he couldn’t see my smile. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw him look at me in disbelief. I looked back at him; we’re around the same height so this is kinda funny in my thoughts, haha. But anyways we just stared at each other I had a bit of a playful attitude, and he seemed serious still, so I put my forehead to his, and he flinched but then realized and went back to staring but this time had a lighter tone of an expression. I saw Cassidy and Brian leaving out of the corner of my eye and they seemed t be giggling, so I decided to drag Ryan with me to them so I can say good bye.

“You two have fun, and stay out of trouble,” Cassidy scolded, “ don’t make me punish you.”

“HAHA, that’s funny, but you know me I am always good,” I said with a puppy dogface. She was such a kidder at times and this was one of them, I couldn’t help BUT laugh. So Brian and Cassidy were gone and Ryan and I were left alone, well besides all the people still shopping.

“So, um, what do you want to do now? It’s Friday night no school tomorrow, I don’t got work until like noon” I started,” and I am game for almost anything.”

“Hhhhmmmm, want to get a smoothie before we do anything and hang out at that awesome fountain?”

“Oh, well…I don’t know…” I teased, “ lol, I am kidding, yea sure I would love to go.”

“Haha, race you there?”

“Your on, loser buys the shakes?” I dared to make this interesting.

“Hellz ya, on your mark, get set, GO,” he said, and before I knew it he was off.

“Hey, no fair, cheater,” I said but I couldn’t help but laugh, he won so I ended buying the smoothies, I also didn’t mind. I got my usual, and he got the plain strawberry. So now we are heading to the beautiful fountain in the center of the mall. And then, once we got there, my favorite song came on, Take It Off by: Ke$ha. I started humming the tune, along with the tone. After like 20 seconds I looked over at Ryan to find him, just sitting there staring at me, with what appears to be adoring eyes, that I swear I saw a twinkle in this gorgeous eyes.

“Lol, what?” I asked sitting a bit more closer to him then before.

“Oh nothing, nothing, lol,” he said looking down then back at me.

“Do you know that you have the most gorgeous brown eyes ever? I mean they are just the loveliest shade of brown, and I swear they sparkle” I said most of this looking at his shoes, which I have to say a black converse.

“No, lol, you think so?”

“No, I know so, I have never seen that shade or pair before” I said, looking at him, I almost couldn’t stop myself from touching his face. He just blushed and looked down for a second or two, oh god I so badly want to just touch his face, it looks so soft.

“So, um, what do you want to do now?”

“I don’t care, you could pick something, anything you like, I’ll follow.”

“Oh, really?” he teased, “how about….” Then he touched my left cheek, I was shocked for a second and moved back, after like 5 seconds I moved back and took his hand off my face and just held it in my hands. I seriously liked this, it was nice, then I surprised him by giving him a kiss on the cheek. Then we just sat there, in silence, we went and walked around the mall and talked about all this week, after about an hour we decided it was time to leave, we said our good-byes and promised to txt the other once one of us were home. Today might have been the best day of my life.
