After the bell rang, signaling the end of the first class, Ryan practically ran out of the room and into the crowded hallway. It was so crowded he couldn't figure out how he would ever find her. He ran to her locker hoping to finder her there. Marissa wasn't at her locker, but Summer was.
"Hey, Summer." Ryan said calmly. Summer had never really liked him.
"Hey." Summer replied shortly.
"Have you seen Marissa?"
Summer didn't answer. She simply pursed her lips and glared at him.
Ryan didn't have time to deal with this. "Come on, Summer. I really need to find her. I know you're Marissa's best friends and you're doing the best friend thing by not talking to me, I can respect that. But I really need to talk to her."
Summer motioned to a classroom down the hall. Ryan looked and saw Marissa standing by it, talking to some of her friends. "Thanks." He said to Summer before he took off in the direction of that class. Ryan ran up to the group that held Marissa. Walking slowly as he came closer.
Marissa looked up from the person she was talking to and made eye contact with Ryan, who was walking towards her. She quickly glanced away and sighed. She turned to her friend, "Excuse me," She left the group and started walking down the hall, Ryan close behind.
"Marissa," Ryan said loudly as he pushed his way through the crowds of people as he followed Marissa.
Marissa didn't stop walking, she didn't even slow down. She kept walking, hoping that he would get the hint, and leave her alone.
Fat chance. "Marissa! Come on, wait up!"
Marissa spotted the ladies room and quickly ducked in, hoping that this might stop Ryan. She rested her hands on the sink, starring at the mirror. "Get a grip of yourself, Cooper. You knew that you would run into him sooner or later. For Christ's sake, you go to the same school!"
She turned on the sink and let the water run for a few seconds. She scooped up some water and splashed it on her face, not caring what it did to her makeup. As she was doing this she heard the door open and quickly close. Still bent over the sink, she grabbed a paper towel and dried her face. She looked up to the mirror and saw more than just her reflection She saw Ryan's.
She quickly spun around to face Ryan. She then tried to walk by him and leave the bathroom, but he wouldn't let her. He put his hands on her shoulders, preventing her from leaving.
"Marissa come on, talk to me."
She shook her head. "We have nothing to talk about. I told you, its over."
Ryan looked frustrated. "So what are you going to do? Just ignore me every time you see me for the rest of your life.
"That was the plan." Marissa shoved passed Ryan and left the bathroom, leaving him standing there.
The door swung back open. "Marissa?" He said facing the door.
"Guess it didn't go so well?" Summer said as she walked into the room.
"No."
Summer stared at Ryan for a few seconds. She felt sorry for him. Her friend must have really broken his heart. "Umm, Ryan. This is the girls bathroom."
"Sorry." Ryan then left the bathroom and headed to his next class.
