Waiting infront of the changing rooms he was about to leave when he noticed Elizabeth walk into the gym by herself.
As she walked over he could see she glanced at him periodically and even stoped a few times probably thinking about running back the way she came from but she never did. When she finally walked up to him he could see her hands shaking from how nervous she was.
"Liz I want you to look me in the eyes the whole time we talk okay." He said makeing her panic a little.
"Cant I just stay like this." Elizabeth said shyly.
"Not if you want me to accept what you have already said to me." He replyed.
"Then if I look you in the eyes we can be friends again?" She asked in a barly audible voice.
"As long as you tell me the truth." He said trying to coax her into looking him in the eyes.
Lifting her head slowly and looking at his face Elizabeth could see he was looking at her and was waiting for her to speak.
"What do you want me to say." She finaly managed to say after a little while.
"Everything that you told me on the phone. I want to hear it again from your lips while your look me in the eyes." Hearing him she felt like running but couldnt.
This was the chance she was looking for. To finally explain everything and patch up their friendship. To prove she ditched those good for nothing pieces of garbage. To finally have him back in her life.
Thinking all this she started to slowly repeat everything she said over the phone and add in the things she couldnt say to him that she wanted to.
About how coal paraded around the club room like it was a well fought victory. About how the others reacted to the video and who was involved in creating it. Finally she told him about how she left the club room after screaming about how they were all horrible people.
Looking into her eyes the hole time he could tell she was being sincere.
Finally done telling him everything she looked into his eyes as she spoke.
"Does this mean we can be friends agian?" She asked.
Nodding before hugging her as he felt like crying. They were his friends even if they did treat him like trash from time to time but when they betrayed the trust he gave them it hurt.
Elizabeth didnt treat him that way and even stuck up for him. She never betrayed his trust and even stuck around after all this time trying to become his friend again.
Letting her go he could see she had rosy cheeks and realized it was probably awkward for her.
"Sorry, I just got a little emotional." He said scratching his cheek.
Shakeing her head she hugged him back before running out of the gym from the same spot she entered.
Smileing as she left Ryan decided to head to home room just to check in before the end of the day.
Returning to home room and then heading to the bus stop he waited for the last bell to ring for the day so he could head home.
----------
Hearing the bell he waited for Kana, Trish, Emilia, And Brooke so they could all get on the bus together.
Seeing Trish run up to him he was about to say hello when a paper got put right in his face. On the paper was a big 87% in the top right corner and her name was in the top left corner.
"This means I get my reward right?" She asked him.
"I didnt expect you to get your test back today?" He was surprised.
"I told the teacher it was important that I got it back today after I handed it in. Sooo, Dose this mean I get my reward?." She asked again huridly.
"Wait! you bribed her and that's why she was studying all day long?" He could hear Kana ask from behind the paper.
Pushing down on her hands so he could see. He noticed Kana, Brooke, and Emilia had arived.
"He said I could have whatever I want as long as I did good on my test."Trish said with a grin while looking at the others.
This did not excape the others as they pulled Trish away leaveing Ryan there confused.
******
"Trish im warning you right now. Nothing below the belt." Brooke said while glareing at Trish.
"I know... I was only going to ask for a kiss or maybe a date." Trish replyed while putting her hands behind her back and looking to the ground.
She was pouting because she wanted to ask for more but knew Brooke and Kana would kill her if she forced Ryan into anything.
Kana, Brooke, and Emilia looked at her skeptically but didnt say anything more before walking back over to Ryan.
Trish followed behind the three moments later.
******
Seeing them walk back over he was about to speak but Brooke grabed his hand and started leading him onto the bus.
Sitting down besides Brooke he could see Emilia sit with Kana and shortly after they all sat down Trish walked down the Ile before sitting on his lap. Looking at him for a second she finally spoke.
"I got a high enough score for my reward, right?" Seeing him nod she leaned in to speak into his ear.
"Can I keep my reward for a later date then or do I have to use it now?"Trish whispered into his ear.
Thinking about it he didnt see a problem with her keeping it.
"I dont mind but I was going to offer you another reward if you did good on your next test as well." Hearing him she reconsidered if she actualy wanted to wait but it didnt take long as she really didnt want to wait at all.
"I want you to kiss me." Whispering into his ear again her heart was pounding.
Moveing away from his ear she wasnt sure what to do next. She wanted to pounce on him but didnt want to initiate the kiss as she wanted him to take control.
After hearing her he looked at her forest green eyes and noticed she was being serious. 'She wants me to kiss her? Like here and now?' Looking at the others he could see them watching but when he looked at Trish he noticed she was still looking at him.
'Well here goes nothing.' Thinking to himself he proceeded to cup her cheek with his hand and lean in to kiss her.
As he kissed Trish he tryed his best to copy what Rianna did during their kiss.
Grabbing Trish's bottom lip with his lips and pulling away only to kiss her again as there lips parted must of drove her crazy as she tryed not to lose his lips but it was inevitable every time unless she put her arms around his neck but she never did. He kissed her for about 30 seconds and then ended their kiss by leaning back and leaving her in a daze.
Looking at the others he noticed they were still watching them and it made him feel a little embarrassed.
Feeling Brooke intertwined her fingers with his he looked to her and then to Emilia who was peaking over the seat. Finally looking back to Trish he noticed she was still looking at him.
Still feeling tired since he couldnt sleep In his last class or homeroom he decided to rest his eyes. As he closed them and layed his head against the seat he could still feel Trish staring at him but it didnt take long to doze off as he was still tired.
Trish didnt take her eyes off Ryan until she felt the bus start to move and almost fell onto him. Sitting properly she proceeded to be quiet for the whole ride home just sitting on his lap.
Ariveing at their stop Kana and Ryan got off the bus and walked home. Going up to his room to log on to play more Abandoned Kingdom's Online he put on his headset and layed down.
******
Sitting down on the couch Kana looked at her phone and the Group chat she had with Brooke, Emilia, and Trish.
Brooke [Alright Trish, spill the beans.]
Emilia [What was it like?]
Trish [OMG I loved it. He kept teasing me but the feeling was amazing. I swear if we wernt on that bus i would of taken him right there.]
Brooke [Why dose it always end with you saying something like that?]
Trish [But its the truth. I couldnt even think straight when he stopped.]
Emilia [It was that good? Wasnt it only a kiss?]
Brooke [It was only a kiss. She is just being over dramatic.]
Trish [No I'm not. It was really that good.]
Brooke [Well I hope you didnt force him into the kiss or anything or we might need to have a little chat.]
Trish [But I didnt force him to do anything. You could see I kept my hands free the whole time.]
Brooke [That might be true but he did look at us before kissing you. Not to mention you whispering in his ear.]
Kana [I guess we should thank the bus since we dont need to teach Trish a lesson.]
Trish [I'm getting teamed up on. this is soooooo not fair.]
Emilia [Kana when will Ryan be joining us in Abandoned Kingdom's Online?]
Kana [He said he was in Relenora but should be heading to the capital today.]
Brooke [Relenora? Why is he all the way out there?]
Trish [Relenora? Where is that again?]
Kana [Its 24 hours of travel from the capital and thats only if you dont stop in between or take the longer route.]
Emilia [Should we meet him halfway?]
Kana [He said he would be traveling to the capital so we would make the trip only to head back after most likely.]
Brooke [How about we try to get to level 2 before he arrives so we can surprise him.]
Kana [Alright, I'll log in.]
Emilia [Okay.]
Trish [I think I'll work of crafting. I want to make Ryan a ring.]
Brooke [You will be joining us as well Trish and dont even try to get out of this or I'll drag you kicking and screaming.]
Trish [Fine. but I better find some jewls to use when makeing my ring for him.]
