SARAH Ryan is a handful!And the annoying thing was that he knew it and every damn time he chose to rub it in... right in my freaking face. I watched him walk out, and just as I was about to protest, he shut the door, sealing me up for what seemed like a lifetime. For long frustrating minutes, I just sat in my chair, doing nothing. Just staring at the wall clock and wishing to end the day abruptly. Luckily, I didn't have any class period to attend before the end of the day. This gave me ample time to just remain motionless in my seat, scrambling my scattered brain together. A biology class, huh? I scoffed. Naughty fellow! “You’re a punk! Jeez!” I cussed out loud, hoping that for my sake the VP wasn't lurking around like he was a few minutes ago. The ringtone and vibration of my phone pulled me back to reality. I stretched forward to pick up the phone from the extreme it was sitting pretty on my desk. Bringing the screen to my face, I looked at the caller. Not like I had a har
SARAH Ryan?!Does he always have to creep all over my skin until I have gone nuts? I needed my time, space, and sanity, to say the least, and there was someone intruding into my space like a ghost. Worst still, he was the last person I expected. “Ryan?” I spoke up for the first time. "Yes, Miss Sarah?" He teased. "You're back quite early, I wasn't expecting you until...” He stopped to look at his wristwatch. "... about an hour and a few minutes.” Not responding, I turned to lock the door before I faced him back. "Did you have a hard day at school? Why did you leave in a hurry?” He maintained his inquisitive form. “I could say the same about you. You shouldn't be here or out of school at about the same time, perhaps you had the most troubled day.” “You're right on that one.” He agreed and took a step towards me. “What are you doing here?” I stopped him on his track with my question. “I just wanted to surprise you.” He shrugged. “How did you get in here...” I stopped abruptly
RYAN If she wasn't going, then who was my supposed surprise gift? Plus, it all got clearer to me now that I put it up for discussion. She would never stoop so low to rub shoulders with my friends, talk more of planning with them to surprise me... Nah. Already aware of the possibility of seeing someone else, even though I didn't bother to think who it would be, I proceeded to extend her an invitation. Logan didn't give me the liberty to do that, but it wouldn't hurt to have one more guest. Maybe we could do it both ways, while he planned my surprises, I would his. “I was told someone wanted to surprise me, and now I'm more confused as to who.” I revealed. She couldn't care for me less to not give a damn, I supposed. "Good for you.” She dismissed it like it meant nothing to her. Maybe I was wrong all along. She couldn't care less. But I wasn't backing down any time. Even without her being verbal as to how she felt about the revelation, deep down, I felt her voice beckoned. I kne
RYAN As the pot-bellied officer advanced towards me, I didn't think twice before taking to my heels. "Ryan, stop!" I heard Alison's voice beckon to me. Regardless, I didn't think twice to stop. If they think being detained was a great idea, I don't. “Dude, stay put, don't make a fuss!” Logan, the birthday boy warned. I'm sorry Logan, if I'm stealing your show, but I can't help it. With my legs running as fast as I could, saddled with the burden of driving my body already in a drunken state to safety, they became wobbly as my knees buckled. My vision got blurred, and my system got a whole lot weaker. I knew in that minute that there was no escaping. As expected the noise of the advanced officer as he chased after me while I made my way to the window, got louder. In a bid to outsmart him, I braced myself up and doubled my pace. For the first few minutes, I was the flash in my show, until I kicked something solid, yelped, and tumbled over. "Argh!" I groaned, as my head banged on
SARAH“In trouble?” I shot over the phone right before being cut off the line, wondering why I had just gotten a call from Ryan but directly from Nate.“What's happening?” I asked myself.“Is he some kind of trouble like he just mentioned?” I continued staring at my phone screen.I took a deep breath as I dialed Nate’s number, hoping he had all of this in control.“Whatever it was,” I thought to myself.The line rang repeatedly without Nate picking up, which got me extra worried about what was happening.As I held on to my phone staring at my screen waiting for Nate to pick up, I quickly remembered Ryan had talked about going to a party.“Fuck!!” I muttered to myself.At this point Nate not picking up, and I was more than worried and confused about what next to do.I stared at the clock, seeing how late it was already, and then kept dialing Nate’s contact. I had my robe taken off as I changed into my hoodie and a pair of black jeans and then rolled my hair into a bun.Just when I was
SARAHRobyn was surely going to lose it if he walked into my house and saw Ryan lying on my couch at such early hours of the morning.It made me so uncomfortable knowing how bad the whole situation was surely going to turn out to be.So after forcing myself out of my reverie, I took a little extra time, with colder-than-normal water from the shower. Stepping out of the shower, I frowned seeing my reflection in the full-length mirror in my bedroom. Turning my face to the side, I eyed the sudden freckles on the bridge of my nose running down to my cheeks.It was strange; I never pictured myself having freckles scattered all over my face but then that wasn't the main problem for the day.I had to figure out a way to get Ryan out of my house.Sighing, I walked over to my closet in my towel and searched through some comfortable clothes to wear. I secured my hair in two French plaits, down the side of my head.Leaving the bedroom, a sweet smell of waffles wafted into my nostrils as I climbe
SARAH“Pull over!!” I said pointing to the spot where I could recall students were meant to park including alumni like myself.“So, here we are!” I said excitedly as we both highlighted from the car.I had my hands tucked into the pockets of my jacket staring at the McConnell Tower atop the Hurley administration building, where the clock from my old days in school ticked.I smiled inhaling the air around me with memories from my days in Uni rushing into my head. The fountains situated in the center of the Uni space reminded me of the times I had just got in, feeling more like a newbie. Getting acquainted with my environment as a girl wasn't much of an easy task, but then I made it through all of that eventually.“Is that the entrance?” Ryan said pointing to the North Texas entrance sign. “Oh yes,” I said pulling him forward by the hand as we walked right through it.“Cool!” He exclaimed holding his hand up to his mouth like he was amazed seeing the fountain ahead.“Come along now!”
SARAH“Fine, whatever!” I yelled back.Rolling my eyes, I shifted my gaze back to the window of the car, staring at the houses by the road as I watched the kids ride their bikes excitedly down the road.I smiled as I saw how much fun they were having being out in the open with friends. I saw Ryan’s gaze shift to my direction as a smile slowly formed on his face and then I felt his hand on my thighs as we drove off.“Gosh not again!” I muttered to myself as I exhaled.I couldn't stand his touch, one bit as he ran his fingers down my legs.Ryan was a complicated individual, and it was no wonder it drew me to his mind.“First thing first, we have to get you a dress,” Ryan said staring out the window probably in search of a boutique around.“What's wrong with the one I have on?” I asked with an arched brow, staring at my dress wondering why he suddenly wanted me to have a change of clothes.“Nothing, really,” He replied.“I just want you sexier,” He continued.“Oh, I see,” I responded as
