" Ryder, can you take me to the park? It's important. Pearl needs me." I requested him.
" You don't need to ask me twice. Let's go." he understand the importance and didn't even ask the reason. Ryder took me to the park in five minutes. I told him I will go back to my home on my own. It's kinda sad that I couldn't spend some time with him. But Pearl needs me.
Pearl and I aren't sad anymore. We had an awesome girl's night by watching movies and eating popcorn. The last time I ever had a girl's night with Pearl is when I'm a kid.At last, I called Jason and filled him with everything. I even send him the video. Even though it's not Crystal who's in the video, it's still some gossip girls. Gossip girls are more trustable than anyone. Whatever they are saying will be absolutely true.
" You don't with who you are dealing, Bitch?" Crystal said but the next thing I heard is a slap. Not on my face and I wasn't the one who did it to Crystal. It's Ryder." Maybe you should know you are dealing with someone dangerous next to her if you are gonna call her a bitch again." Ryder simply said, leaving the table in a rush. I saw Crystal's shocked face and one hand on her cheek. I have nothing to say to this. I want to say thanks to Ryder but he's already gone without a 'bye'. You know wha
How will the day begins and end if Jason and Ryder are in the same place? I'm don't wanna be a pessimist. I'm just wondering about the situation. This Sunday supposed to be a fun day with friends in a newly opened theme park. That's what Jason said. He told me to meet him and Fred near the school. I forwarded that message to Ryder and Pearl." Bye, mom. I will see you at night." I waved at her once I packed the bag and stepped outside of my house. Ryder is already waiting outside for me. We both
" I will start. We don't need a bottle to spin at all. We can do it randomly." Jason said." Truth or dare," Jason questioned. Did I ever tell them that I'm ready to play it without Pearl, Dylan and Fred? What's done is done. It's better if I take the truth.
I thought Jason will directly ask this. He could have asked me. I'm not going to lie to him. But he chooses to get the answer from Ryder. I wish I could get away from van to avoid the conversation but I'm not that coward to do it. Let's face it." Yes, I kissed her. So, what?" Ryder snapped and Pearl's face popped above my head. " Can we all take a selfie together?" Thank god, she came at the right time." Yeah. We can use my photos. I like to use filters." I told her, opening Snapchat." Can you take it, Jason?" I gave it to him so he can cover the six of us. Once he took it, Pearl went back to talk with them. If she's having a conversation with Dylan, that's good. She won't be angry at me if she has a good time today with Dylan." Hey, look here," Jason brought me back from my thoughts. He's taking a photo of three of us." Smile a little, sweetheart," Ryder said. After selfie section, I played some music and heard it with Jason. I can't sh
The rest of the day was unforgettable. I enjoyed every single ride, water rides with my friends. I didn't get bored for a single second. I always think my life is awesome but now I feel like my old life is nothing compared to this. It looks like Edgewood high gives me some kind of luck. I don't feel like an Introvert too. When did I become an extrovert? I won't have believed it if someone tells this to me from the future." It's almost Eight. How can time pass like this?" Pearl laughed and tossed
" No. Don't," I shouted at Ryder to stop him from pulling the trigger. But Unfortunately, the person in the driver seat turned with a gun in his right hand. He easily managed to pull the trigger while driving the taxi. Nobody expected this to happen." Ryder," I shouted in fear, afraid that the bullet may hit him. But Ryder dodged got down in a flash of a minute. The glass behind us in the taxi shattered with a loud noise. I'm too shocked to safeguard my life. I don't even need to call him a driv
I shouldn't give up without a try. That thought hit me for a second. Maybe my heels are hope. Before Patrick could injure me again, I kicked his foot with all the pressure I could give to my heels. I don't even care if he can't walk. With a single distraction, Ryder picked up the gun and aimed it at the driver's leg and shot it. This aim was perfect like he already did it many times. The driver's grip loosened and stumbled forward while holding my bleeding wrist. Jason caught me at the right moment." Get inside the taxi," Ryder ordered us as he makes Patrick step back by pointing the gun." You know I could shot you without any regret. Do you want it to happen?" Ryder threatened." Get inside, Emily," Jason urged me as he opened the door for me. When he locked the car door, Ryder got into the driver's seat. The driver was unable to make a move as he got hold of his injured leg. I heard Patrick's voice urging him to get a car or a bike to follow us.
I embraced this moment with Jason but I know there will be more memories with him for the rest of my life." Are you calm now, Jason. I don't want you to hide your emotions in front of me." I worried." I can't say I'm a hundred per cent happy, Milly. But you are still in my life. That's the important thing for me. Months ago, you drowned. I can't take the scene out of my mind. This thing is far better than that. You could have died that day and it didn't happen. I'm grateful for it every day."" You are the one who saved me, Jason. I could never forget that. I feel like I don't deserve it." I frowned. He saved my life but what did I do for him." You deserve it, Milly. If we never met, I would have never felt true love. You helped me with Crystal's stupid games. I would have caught in it forever without an idea about it. You took the risk to delete our footages. Overall, you are the best thing that happened to me. All the time I have spent with you is pr
I bite my lips and stared at him for his reply. He doesn't even take a minute to respond." You don't even need to ask me, Emily. I will be your boyfriend. Like you said, officially. I love you so much. I have been longing to hear these words from you. All I want is you to be happy no matter who you choose. But I always wished I could be the one for you. You have no idea how happy Iam feeling right now." Ryder said as his hands went to either side of my hips. He lifted me and swirled in a circle. We both smiled and laughed at each other." I'm feeling much happier than you, Ryder," I told him." No. I feel happier than you," we continued arguing who's more happier. Atleast, he helped me land on my feet.
A week passed by after all the chaos. Patrick was taken to the hospital. He lost more blood and I'm the one who caused it. I wouldn't have done it if he didn't point the gun at Ryder. If Patrick tried to kill me, I would have stood like a statue in fear but it's not me. It's Ryder. I couldn't do that. My hands moved to take the gun within a fraction of second. I can't wonder what would have happened if I didn't shot him. Maybe it's time to get over that incident. The police officers encountered me at the station. But Ryder was with me the whole time. My parents are called to the station. Somehow the news was gone to Jason's ears too. He came to the station for me. Ryder and I told about Patrick's psychotic activity. At last, they filed a case against him and he went straight to jail for all the things he tried to do. Of course, there are a lot of proofs. Patrick almost tried to kill all other students. So, they all stood up for me. It took a week f
" Shut up. We aren't going to do that." I shouted at him while Ryder tapped in his phone. I heard the ring and soon a girl attended the call." Are you still in school, Anna. Meet me in the backstage of the hall." Ryder ordered." What? You haven't talked with me for ages. Now why are you..." the girl is in the call sounded angry." I wouldn't call you unless it's necessary. Just come here. I will explain everything." Ryder tried to keep himself calm." He called her. Now, let us go to get the first aid. I'm not going to let his hand bleed." I shouted at Patrick when Ryder hung his phone.Before he could reply, Pearl spoke. " I know where the first aid is," she said and got the first aid in the same room. Time passes as I helped Ryder wrapping a bandage on his hand and waited for Emma's friend Anna. I almost lost hope in her. What if she doesn't come here? with that one thought, a blonde girl came through the door casually. But when her eyes looked
" Please don't freak out, Em. I will explain it. Don't tell anyone." Pearl pleaded with fear in her eyes." Say it now. Why there's a gun here? I'm still freaking out." I lowered my voice this time." This is a real gun. We are supposed to bring one duplicate gun for the play. You have probably seen it in the play. The main female character tried to use it for self-defence but didn't pull the trigger."" So, are you saying that she used a real gun in a school play?"" Yeah. She bought them here. But something wrong happened in her house. The real ones and duplicate got switched and then we couldn't tell the teachers at the last moment. So, we carefully used it. I'm just keeping it until she comes back and takes it with her." Pearl explained." You got to be kidding me, Pearl. You all should have told the teachers. It's not safe to have a gun in school. Anything
Three months later:" Psst.."" What?" I slightly turned my head towards the backbench to see Ryder's trying to get my attention. Do you know where we are? In the exam hall." Give me your answer sheet," he commandingly asked. He also has the hope that I will help him." You haven't studied anything and now you are..."" No advice, Emily. I could hear all day just to watch your face, but not now. Paper, please..." He told and pleaded in the end with all hope. How could I say no?" Take it. But promise me, we won't get caught,"" I will make sure of it," He smiled and got the paper while the teacher was distracted by eating something which she took from her handbag. I highly doubt that her handbag is a Doraemon pocket. She eats a lot as an invigilator.......Finally, we all headed out of the
" Her iPhone drowned too. It completely destroyed. Now, tell me why you care about it, Milly. You don't need to think about her phone when you could have died today." Jason said seriously. I know he won't say this if he knows what happened." It's the phone which caused this, Jason. Ryder was right on that day when we three went alone to sort this issue. Crystal was spying on me to get photos. She's been following me all this time. She caught the moment on her phone when you proposed to me on my birthday. She did the same when I was with Ryder. She even took a photo of us when we stayed in a hotel for one night. I don't know how she's capable of getting the photos. She threatened me that she send it to my parents and ruin my whole chance of graduating." I started telling him and explained the part happened in the locker." Now, you know why I did that, Jason. Tell me the rest of the part. I want to know what happened after I blackened out. W
It's done. "I did it,"" And then there's a thief. Give it to me." I heard Crystal's harsh voice. My hands started shaking. I ost the grip on her phone but managed to catch it before it falls." I'm just here to delete my personal information. Deep inside your heart, you know who's the thief?" I managed to speak in all the bickering noises coming from all side in the dressing room." Give my phone back, bitch. Where is beck? Beck? I couldn't have trusted her. I should have thought that the stupid girl is your friend." Crystal shouted, making a scene." She's not stupid and she's not here. I won't give your phone unless I know you don't have any backup of these photos."" Do you think I will wait and watch until you find the backup photos? Who do you think you are dealing with? You can't over-smart me, bitch. Don't test my patience." She shouted at the top of her lungs. The one th
I stared at the empty place where Crystal was standing a minute ago. The next batch lined up for the match. Jason already got out of the pool. He's surrounded by his friends. I can't go to him to ask for help by explaining the situation. I have no other friends with me right now. All I have left is me. How am I going to save myself from Crystal's plan? I have to delete the photo. Footage plays a large role in my life." I will wait for you here," Lexi told Crystal and crossed me as she made her w
