I walked into the principles office seeing Royce sitting one of the chairs with a look of anger before it turned to a smirk when he saw me. He had a bag of ice on his valuables, his head, and his knee.
I sat in the chair next to him in front of principle Clark. Who looked an awful lot like Dr. Trent. "You asked for me Mr. Clark?" "Yes. Mr. Clayton here, as you can see, is pretty beat up. Care to tell me why?"
"Yes. He kept disrespecting my name calling me new girl and doll face trying to get my attention so I ignored him and continued reading. He didn't like that so he decided to come up the bleachers to me. When he got there he took my book and was bullying me by holding it above my head. I couldn't reach it so I kicked him where it hurts to get my book. He gave me attitude so I pushed him down the bleachers then went to class." I said truthfully.
"He looked at Royce who was looking down a bit shameful. "Really now that's nothing like the story Royce told me. He said you did it for no reason and he just wanted to talk. So I will have you both apologize to each other."
I looked at Royce who was glaring at the principle. "I'm sorry for hurting you Royce." I then looked at him expectantly while he looked at me like 'yeah right'. I raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Clayton?" "Sorry." he mumbled quickly.
"Good now you both will stay for detention today." he said. "What! But couch'll kill me come on Mr. Clark." he pursed his lips. "Fine I'll let you two slide this once." "Thank you Mr. Clark. May I go now." "Yes miss Carter."
I stood up with Royce and walked out of the door and started my way home. The bell rung a couple minutes ago. But Royce was following me. But he went to the parking lot while I started walking home. I was a couple blocks from the school when a car came up beside me. "Need a ride?" I froze and the car stopped.
I looked and saw Royce smiling smugly at me from his 1952 sky blue Chevrolet. "No thank you." I said then continued walking. He drove slowly beside me. "Come on think of it as a sorry." I turned to him. "Will it get you to leave me alone?" he shrugged. "Maybe." I sighed then walked around the car and getting in the passenger seat.
"Springwood ave. 1428" I told him briefly then looking to the side away from his handsome form. 'Wait. handsome? Since when did I think that?' I thought to myself. "Do you mind if I show ya 'round town first?"
I did need to know where stuff was. "Sure." I answered. He basically showed me the library, park, baseball field, an old mill, grocery store, movie theater, gas station, mechanics, and the car lot where they sell cars.
By 6 o'clock he pulled up to my house. "So." he said. I got my stuff and opened the car door the paused. I turned and kissed him quickly on the cheek before turning and running into my house before he could say anything.
*the next day*
I was in my first period reading when the girl in front of me turned around. "So your Royce's new girl friend?" she said snobbily while chewing her gum loudly. I furrowed my brows while looking back and forth in the room. "Uh no." I said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"That's what he's telling everyone." she pointed behind her with her thumb to where Royce was sitting bragging to his friends. Then the girl turned back around. I pursed my lips in an angry smile then slammed my book down getting everyone's attention.
I turned to Royce. "Since when the hell was I your girlfriend?" he looked around like it was obvious. "Since you kissed my cheek yesterday." "That was a thank you and a thank you only for showing me around town because there is no way in hell that I would be your girlfriend."
The girls gasped and some of them even whispered 'yes!' silently to themselves. Royce looked at me in shock. But before anyone could do anything the teacher came in and started class. Royce would not stop staring at me with a thoughtful look.
Throughout the whole day I avoided him. As usual I sat alone at lunch and during free time. He tried to sit by me during lunch smirking and making more kids sit at my table. But I just kept my eyes on my book and got up walking away. He tried to follow but his fans made him stay.
After school I walked home ignoring Royce who followed me all the way trying to give me a ride. He gave up halfway there and left. When I got home. I grabbed Ryan's favorite book and grabbed my 1952 silent motorcycle and went to the hill I found the other day. It looked over the baseball field.
There was a tree with an old swing I fixed up when I first got here. I sat on it and clutched the book softly to me chest swinging back and for slightly. I thought of Ryan and how much I missed him. I sometimes think he's with me. I began to sing. He always did love my voice.
I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fearsAnd I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me

I felt a cold breeze wrap around my shoulders knowing it was him. "Oh Ryan." I whispered letting a few tears fall. The breeze disappeared. "Who's Ryan?" someone asked behind me. I gasped turning around.
It was Royce. I turned back around so he wouldn't see my tears. "What are you stalking me now?" I asked sounding stuffed up from crying. "No. I always come up here to think. You just happened to be up here too. Nice bike." I sniffled. "Hey. Are you crying? Was it something I did?" I chuckled a bit. "No. I'm sorry this is your place. I'll go." I got my book and began leaving.
"No wait don't go. Look we can share it." He said trying to cheer me up. He was acting so different from when he's in school. "Royce you really don't understand. I'm not one to get involved with." I said wiping away my tears. "Look if your involved with the mob or somethin' I don't care. I wanna know you."
"Royce. Please." I whispered looking at him. His hand slid from my arm to my hand. He pulled me closer. Then kissed me. I love Ryan not Royce. Then why was I kissing him back?
