Ryan's Downfall: The Story
I thought the Dark Ocean left me
But Ryan proved me wrong
I thought the light in me had won
But then Ryan came along
Ryan appeared in my life at the first day of school. I was twelve years old. It was the first day of grade six. I looked at him and I knew that I had to find out about him. He looked a lot like me. He had dark brown hair and blue eyes. He gave me a dark feeling I only knew too well.
It was recess time now. I saw him on the grass by the playground drawing. I sat beside him and looked into his drawing. It was a drawing of a beach. But the water was dark and misty, like the Dark Ocean.
"Have you been there before?" I asked him.
"What?"
"The-the ocean. You know, the place that you are drawing", I explained.
"Oh". Ryan looked at his drawing. "Yeah".
I nodded. "Tell me Ryan, are you new here?"
"Pardon?"
"Are you new here? I have not seen you here before".
"Oh. My mother moved here a week ago".
"Well I hope you like it here".
"Thank you". He then got up and left me. I sat there on the grass thinking.
The school bell sounded. I got up and went back to school. I could think about this later.
It was lunch time now. Ryan had a sandwich and juice. I did not want to appear nosy about him so I sat at the other end of the room. I kept looking at him though. He didn't look my way. I felt guilty about it and decided to leave him alone that day.
At the end of the school day, I was waiting for the bus when Ryan pulled me back.
"What do you want?" Ryan asked me.
"Pardon?" I asked.
"You kept looking at me during lunch. What do you want?" Ryan demanded.
"I don't know. You look familiar. I can't seem to shake you out of my mind. Sorry if I seem rude to you, but that's the truth".
"Oh?" Ryan became calm. "Well I know you don't look familiar so it's not that. Thank you. See you tomorrow". He then left me.
Thank you? I was puzzled over that phrase. What did he mean by that? I decided to get to know more about Ryan. I kept thinking about his drawing. Was it the Dark Ocean? It was time, I thought, to put my thoughts into action.
