LET’S NOT GET PHYSICAL
After some classes, Pearl’s back to normal. Now, we are in the ground for P. E ( Physical education) class. To be honest, I hate this period. Why should I even run in the ground or do some exercise? Am I going to participate in a marathon?
” Someone’s looking so tired. The period hasn’t even started.” I heard Ryder’s voice behind me.
” I’m kinda mad. I want to skip this class.”
” I didn’t think you would say this. Let’s skip it. Where can we go now?” Ryder took my hands and ready to leave.
” Whoa, slow down. I said it but didn’t mean it. I already skipped a class today.”
” Oh. But it’s just one class, Emily. Don’t be so sincere in it.”
” I will try not to,” I replied, looking back at all the students waiting for the teacher’s arrival. He’s late. Maybe there won’t be a P. E class today.
” So, I have something interesting to do to pass the time. Do you want to hear it?” Ryder eagerly said as his hands went inside his pocket. I know what he’s going to do? Let’s spoil the suspence.
” You wanted to swap our phones until the class starts. Am I right?” I folded my arms and smiled at him.
” Umm… you are well aware of what’s happening in the class. Now I dont need to explain it.” He replied as his hand went inside my pants pocket without asking me.
” Hey, I didn’t say that I will give you my phone,” I said, laughing.
” I know you will give it. We got nothing to hide. Take it.” Ryder gave his phone and got mine by himself. He wouldn’t give it if he got something to hide which he doesn’t. Neither do I.
Like Pearl said, I ended up exchanging my phone with Ryder and Jason.
I was a little shocked when I find out that both his lock screen and the home screen is my picture. Only mine.
” Hey, I know you aren’t a stacker. But when did you got these pictures?”
” You sent me when I asked you a week ago. Don’t you remember it?” Did I? How can I forget that? Maybe I should look at our chats again.
After a few minutes, we both are tapping and scrolling while all others are wandering and standing in the ground.
Ryder’s got two hundred followers. I opened his chats just like I did on Jason’s phone. He does have many message requests but only got fewer people’s in his chats.
I don’t have anything to search on purpose so I randomly opened a chat in the message requests.
XXX: Hey, Ryder. I had the ultimate fun last night with you. Can we meet somewhere when you have time? Like a date. What do you say?
There’s no reply to that unknown girl’s message. When I looked at the date she sent it, it’s two months ago. I randomly opened another one.
XXX: Hi. I’m Anna. We met each other last week. I’m Dylan’s friend. I know you probably won’t remember me. But can you please text me back?
I opened another one.
XXX: Hey, Ryder. I invited you to my party. I’m disappointed that you didn’t show up while your friends did.
That’s enough. Ryder has a lot of messages like this left without a reply. Maybe I should ask him why. I do remember that Jason has more than ten thousand messages requests. I didn’t read any one of it. If I did, it would be like this or maybe more since he’s a celebrity’s son. I can’t believe an invisible girl like me didn’t end up in a message requests but getting closer to both of them than the others did.
What would I do if Jason and Ryder never been interested in me? I imagined the situation. I never spotted anything special in myself. But I have infinite things to say about Ryder and Jason.
” What are you doing?” I came back to the present after hearing Ryder’s voice. He must have seen me looking at somewhere absent-mindedly.
” Nothing. Why didn’t you reply to any of your message requests. Many girls want your attention on them or atleast a reply.”
” You are right. But if I reply, they will be having any expectations from me which won’t end up good for them.” He’s right. Why did I ask that without planning to ask it? I don’t want other girls bugging on him.
” But if you want me to do it, I will do? I will reply to them or go out with them. Is that what you want? ” he added, trying to make me jealous.
” I won’t say ‘yes’ to it. I’d rather do this if you allow me to.” I asked him as I kept my hands to delete it all. All I need is his permission.
” No problem, sweetheart. Go ahead.” I proceeded by deleting it all. Then the time passes as I was looking into his hot pics without blinking my eyes. I wish I could get it to transfer it to my phone.
Suddenly, the teacher walked down from the auditorium towards us. I gave Ryder’s phone back to him as he did the same.
“As I said, we passed the time by doing this interesting swapping thing. I still got some photos to look at your phone. Give it again when you come to my home to tutor me.” Ryder said and winked at me before joining the classmates.
I’m his tutor. I should be strictly professional which won’t be working I guess. The rest of the class, we did some exercise. I was huffing and puffing in the end.
” Hey, Pearl. Give me that bottle,” I asked her for a water bottle she’s holding in her hands. Many girls are standing next to us and drinking the water from a single bottle. We aren’t that poor but it’s too difficult to climb the stairs and get our bottles.
Before Pearl could raise her hands and give it to me, someone pushed her from behind. She lost her balance and fell on the ground while the bottle slipped from her hands and the water spilled on the ground. I don’t know whether that girl did it on purpose or not. But when she turned, I’m sure that she did on purpose. It’s Crystal. Again. After a long time.
” Oops. I didn’t saw you. Anyways, you aren’t going to die without water, Emily. Are you?”
