Kelly Jameson and I are having lunch in the school garden. I’ve been at this school for three years and this is my first time here. I didn’t know students were allowed to have lunch in the garden. Jameson is the one that put Kelly and I on this very public secret.
He invited us to have lunch with him today; he says we have to hang out again. Apparently he misses spending time with us. We stopped hangout after Kelly’s backyard movie night. We decided to take a break from each other for a while but we never got around to reconnecting.
The assignment is still on hold and neither of us has the nerve to bring it up. Life has been good without the stress. We still have time to get to it; we just need a little longer to get our shit together.
“I’m so excited for your date tonight.” Kelly says clapping her hands and jumping up and down at the same time. I cringe at the mention of my date. J

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

English class after lunch “Okay class, please settle down. We have a lot to do today.” Miss Una says when we walk into the class. Mark walks in last giving me a mournful look; I ignore him and look at Miss Una. He can’t guilt trip me into going on a date with him I don’t like him like that.Kelly and I sit next to each other one desk from the door. I love sitting here because I can get out of class easily as soon as class is over.“Okay, this is your midterm assignment.” She says and the class groans in disapproval. “It contributes 60% to your overall year mark. So it’s very important that you take this seriously.” She says ignoring the cries of despair from everyone.She hands me two sheets of the assignment outline and then she moves to Kelly giving her the rest of the papers to pass around. “Please take one and pass the rest.” She says sto

“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.

“Would you like to order while you wait for your friends?” Macy the resident waitress at Jodie’s asks smiling tat me sweetly. I’m the first one here so of ‘course, I should have known the others meant 7:30 when they said 7 pm. I didn’t expect Kelly to keep me waiting considering my predicament with Oliver.I thought she’d be here early to help me face him. but now she left me in the cold to face my demons alone. I cross my fingers hoping she shows up next instead of others. I hate my need to be on time, I should have come later on.“Yes. I’ll have lemonade please.” I say deciding to have a drink while I wait. I don’t know how long they are going to make me wait anyway. I might as well have a cooling drink while I wait anxiously.“Okay sweetheart, I’ll bring you that refreshing glass of lemonade ASAP.” She says smiling like she does every time I come in here. M

“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

It took Kelly and Jameson about half an hour to pack up their stuff and leave the restaurant. I tried to leave without them but Kelly wouldn’t let me. She gave me the; if we came together, we leave together speech. It took all my will power not to remind her that she actually arrived late. I didn’t want to be that girl who reminds everyone of their mistakes.Kelly’s mom came to pick her up a while ago. They offered to take me home but I declined. I thought the buses here were constant. I didn’t think the schedule was all weird. I’ve never taken a bus home from here. I’m so annoyed that it took them so long to finish. They made me miss my bus. I stand outside Jodie’s looking at the bus stop. I could go and wait for the bus there but it’s so cold out now. I look back into the restaurant and sigh. I guess I’ll buy a tea and sip on that while I wait.I might as well do the rest of my school wor

“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

My phone vibrates once next to me; I open my eyes and look outside my window. It’s late evening already; I got home from poetry class and fell asleep on my bed. I was so tired I switched off as soon as my head hit the pillow. I was so tired. I pick my phone up and sit up fast as soon as I realize who sent me the text. Hey, Ryo It’s me Oliver I’m sorry about what happened with Marlene today I’m going to make sure it doesn’t happen again I’m going to talk to her She needs to stop with this. Patient O I reread the text and my heart pumps blood faster in my body. I feel light headed, I don’t know if it’s because of how I sat up or if it’s because Oliver texted me privately. Do you know how many times I’ve stared at his number in the group chat wishing I could text

“What did you do?” Jameson says when he opens his front. I laugh the moment the words leave his mouth. Why would he assume I did something? I just got here and his mind is already filled with accusations. I fear we will never fix our relationship, he’ll never trust me again.“I didn’t do anything to anyone.” I say and he raises his brows at me in question. Yep that’s the look of distrust. “I am in need of a shoulder to cry on though.” I say and he looks at me curiously.“Come in.” He says standing aside so I can walk into his house. “I’m in the kitchen making lunch. Are you hungry?” He asks leading me to the kitchen. I smile the when I walk in, memories of Ry walking around this room flood my mind. She had a blast cooking for us that night. I can still taste the food we ate, she’s an amazing cook. It’s a shame she won’t be cooking for me any time soon. I blew tha

“You’re really a morning person aren’t you?” I ask Oliver looking at him nervously. He showed up this morning out of nowhere. He sent me another one of his I’m outside text and yet again he was standing outside my house. Only this time he didn’t come bearing any gifts. I could have used a hot cup of tea and a doughnut. At least the sugar would have given me a boost to deal with the shit storm that’s about to hit me.And I’m a little sad we’re not sitting in my mother’s plant room, we opted for a walk around my neighborhood. And he doesn’t seem to be happy with the walking. He was so happy sitting in the plant room though. He was smiling the whole time. I didn’t invite him in because my mother is home. She wouldn’t mind having him over but I didn’t want to create more confusion by introducing him to her. I don’t want things to get anymore weirder than they already are.Beside

“What happens now?” Kelly asks staring at me. She’s sitting on my bed with her feet tapping on the floor over and over. She’s so excited she can’t sit still and the smile on her face is going to make her face hurt in the morning I wish I was excited as she is, I’m still reeling from kissing Oliver. That was both unexpected and emotionally charged. My body is still buzzing.“I can’t believe the two of you are finally going to date. I told you he likes you.” She says and I shake my head. She’s jumping to conclusions, neither of us talked about dating. We just kissed and the he was gone. I don’t think that means we’re going to live happily ever after.“I don’t know.” I say shrugging. “I don’t think the kiss meant anything more than that. We just wanted to kiss each other that’s all.” I say and she just looks at me her face

“I guess the movie is really that boring huh?” Oliver says as I stir awake. It takes a minute for me to make sense of what is going on. I open my eyes wider and I gaze into Oliver’s eyes. I’m lying fully on my back; my head is on his tummy. When in the hell did I get into this position? Why am I this close to him? So much for keeping my distance, I’m the one assaulting him now.“When did I fall asleep?” I ask sitting up. I look at the projector and the movie is still playing but I wouldn’t tell you what it is or which part of the movie is playing. The backyard is so quiet; everyone is concentrating on what’s happening on the screen. No wonder I fell asleep, the only sound out here is the movie and nothing else. It’s so silent it sounds like a fancy cemetery, creepy I know but that’s what it feels like.“As soon the movie started.” He says smiling at me. Wow I got so upset

I wish had a room that faced the main street. I would be peaking at him in the window right now.You’re outside my house?RyYesCome to the front doorPatient O“Oh shit” I say reading his reply. What in the hell is he doing here? This is not how I saw my Saturday going. I was looking forward to a quiet and possibly boring weekend.

“Why did we have to meet here again? We could have easily met up at the paintball place.” I say looking at the time. Jameson and I are waiting for the rest of our friends to get here. Colin decided we should go paintballing. We haven’t had a boys day since the two of us had to do the English assignment.The group feels neglected and we’re stressed out. We need to do something fun to let out some steam. I bet Jameson is looking forward to shooting the sit out of me. I’m not his favorite person right now. He doesn’t approve of me hanging out with Ryo. He’s made it abundantly clear that I’m a heart breaker and I don’t deserve to breathe the same air as her.“You know Colin likes to meet up at a location before setting off to the destination. Convoys with his boys give him joy.” Jameson says and I can tell he’s still annoyed with me. I just nod smiling. He looks at me his

“Is this your spot?” I ask Oliver and he smiles shaking his head. We’re sitting in the backseat of his car looking down at the city. I think this is the best view of my hometown. We’re high up on a cliff, it’s so high up I bet the city gets completely covered in mist in the mornings. I take a deep breath enjoying the clear air. I love it out here.I don’t know why he brought me here but I’m glad he did. This is the perfect end to a good day. I think I found a car, and fingers crossed I’m going pick it up tomorrow. I don’t think my day can get any better.“No, I don’t have a spot. That’s so cheesy.” He says smiling at me. I feel so judged by the look in his eyes right now. This is a beautiful place I would see why someone would think of it as special.“I guess.” I say looking at the judgment radiating from him and I can’t deny that it is cheesy. The truth is I love che
