"She's nonexistent for me. I'll be concerned about an ant more than I'll be about her. You know I stay away from spiders, right? Just think of her as that," Ryder replied as he sat on the sofa and closed his eyes.
"Did someone from class tell you?" Ryder asked without opening his eyes.
"Yes," Alice muttered as she sat beside Ryder. Her shoulder made contact with his shoulder.
" Can you tell me their name?" Ryder inquired again.
"No. I don't want you to fight a friend as well. They were just concerned about you just like I was when you were like that after that incident. I asked them, no, I demanded that they tell me what happened. That's how I got the answer," Alice said in a concerned tone.
" As I said, you don't have to be concerned about me. I'm perfectly fine here," Ryder said with a smile on his face.
