 I   'm   Just   No t  That   Picture   Perfect 

 

Since it was a 23-hour flight to Australia, I packed my carry on bag full of my favorite junk foods like Chips Ahoy and Slim Jim’s. I woke up to the soft sound of Ryder’s voice speaking to someone, but whom? I didn’t recognize the voice I heard. Before I looked up to see that he was talking to I noticed our hands were still interlocked. I pretended I was still sleeping, so that if Ryder happened to glance over at me, he wouldn’t see how hard I was blushing.
I let out a fake yawn and retracted my head from his shoulder. I looked out the window and saw a magnificent sunset. It was so unique; I have never seen anything so beautiful. Yet again I’ve never seen a sunset from an airplane window.
I looked over to where Ryder was speaking before and no one was there. I shot him questioning look. He said, “It was just the flight attendant asking what we wanted to drink and eat. I ordered 2 Shirley Temples, but no food because well your carry on bag.” I just happened to be that Shirley Temples were my favorite. Damn I thought to myself, I’m falling for him hard.
I looked up to the little plane television that was on the back of the seat in front of us to see what was playing. It just happened to be that the Titanic just started. I squeezed Ryder’s with the hand that was still interlocked with his and pointed at the television with the other. I said “Babe- uh sorry I mean Ryder, look” He let out a little chuckle and said “babe.” I said “w-what?” He said, “I like that.”

It was Friday, the day before winter break. I knew I had to do something to get Ivy back before I lost her for good… well I don’t exactly have her… but you know what I mean. I had 5^th period today with her and I was going to make sure I got a seat right next to her and that’s just what I did. She seemed kind of surprised but I saw her start to turn pink and she turned to the window. A few seconds later she looked back and smiled. She said, “Wasn’t expecting you to be over here.. I have to admit.”
“What you don’t like me?” I said pouting. She began to laugh and in between laughs she said “ I never said that”, with that she winked at me. I began to say something, but the teacher yelled at us and sent me to the other side of the room. The entire class neither of us were paying attention, we were too busy making faces at each other.
The final bell rang during 5^th period, oh yeah.. by the way today was only a partial day. I ran out the door and after Ivy, but with the crowd she was way ahead of me, but luckily for me I just happened to know where her locker was. When I got to her locker some guy… Oh, Carson, Great. Carson had her pushed up against the locker and she was trying to push him off, but his grip was to strong. I grabbed him from behind and threw him on the ground and punched him across the face. I then yelled “DON’T YOU EVER TOUCH HER AGAIN CHAD.” And with that I got up and walked over to Ivy and said “Iv, are you OK?” She said “yes, thank you for doing that. Look I got to go, but here’s my number, feel free to call me over vacation if you’re not too busy.” She was gone before I could say anything.
I sat there smiling and mumbled to myself “Looks like I just scored myself a goal.”

{Authors note: Erhh.. another short chapter... sorry! I write day to day so I don't know when I'll post the next chapter, but I will post it soon! hope you enjoyy. thanks for reading}

 *1 week later*
I haven’t talked to Ryder in a week. I don’t even know why, I guess I was caught up in school and him in sports. Midterms were next week and since I had to keep straight A’s I needed this week, every free second to study.

I feel like an idiot. How could I just not talk to the girl I’ve been in love with for 3 years?  I almost blew it, I almost told Ivy I liked her. Even though liking her was an understatement I still couldn’t tell her that I like her. What if she didn’t like me? What if I got friend-zoned? What if she thought I was a joke? I didn’t even know her all that well, I’ve been going to school with her since preschool and I barely knew a thing about her. I know her dad passed away and her mom was her everything. I know every thought she was a w//ore, but I didn’t know why. I know what she looks like and the basic things she likes; like her favorite color is red and her favorite animal is a pig. I know what I have to do.
I know what I have to do to get to know her and to make her fall in love with me. 

{Authors note: I'm so sorry for not writing in a while. I was just wicked lazy over vacation and I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue to write... but I decided to continue and try to finish this story. I hope you continue to read my story and enjoy it... I know it's not that great, but its something new. Well anyways I don't know when I'll post the next chapter... probably tomorrow. Also, sorry for the short chapter!}

I leaned in to kiss him, maybe I was just caught up in the moment and all. But he turned his head, he said “I’m sorry, I’m just not the kind of guy to kiss someone I’m not dating.” I was shocked for a moment considering that he’s a popular and he’s the star of the football team. Not to mention he is extremely attractive… not Channing Tatum material, but good enough for me. I always thought he was the type of guy.. guess the saying “can’t judge a book by its cover” fits in this scenario. I stuttered, “I-I’m sorry, I’m not the type either.. I guess I just got caught up in the moment is all.
I realized we were still at the graveyard, I guess I really was caught up in the moment. I quickly turned around to see my mom had disappeared. I started freaking out, mentally that is. I put my hand to Ryders chest and pushed him back and started walking around looking for my mom. After 15 mintues of searching aimlessly around the graveyard I saw that she was just sitting up against the back side of dads headstone praying. I went and sat with her and suddenly all the flashbacks began. I reemebered the last promise my dad ever made to me… I was crying but I began laughing at all the memories. I stood up and walked to the other side of the headstone to where the writing was ecripted into the granite. I saw that Ryder was still standing there, but he was smiling for some reason and it confused me. I asked him why he was smiling and he said “Well, atleast I’m not the one to make a beautiful girls make up run” S/it. I forgot that I wasn;t wearing waterproof make- up and realized I probably looked like a clown. I joking said “Aww. Ry doesn’t like clowns?” His smile faded and he pursed his lips. He said “You called me Ry. No ones ever called me that, I like it and I like yo-… I mean ya I like it”
Did Ryder Manson just say he liked Me? How could he like me, he couldn’t.
