The next day Ryder walked the walls of McKinley with only one thing on his mind. Kitty Wilde. He didn't know why he couldn't stop thinking about her but it probably had something to do with the way she ran off the other night. He walked up to his best friend Jake's locker and decided to ask him about Kitty. "Hey, man. Have you seen Kitty anywhere today?"
"Hmm, now that you bring her up, I actually haven't. Maybe you could ask one of her friends or something."
"Alright, thanks, I will. Bye." Ryder hurried down the hallway and into Coach Sylvester's office. "Hey, coach, has Kitty told you anything about missing practice today?" Ryder leaned against the doorframe.
"Well, I have absolutely no idea why I'm telling you this but I don't really care to be honest. Yeah, she called this morning and told me she would have to skip todays practice." Sue answered as she was organizing her paperwork.
"Oh, alright, thanks Coach!" Ryder left her office and headed to fourth period. He wondered why Kitty was missing school and practice. If she's missing Cheerios practice then something must be wrong. And she was acting pretty distant last night too. Ryder carried on throughout the day thinking about being home and just sleeping. Although when he finally had the chance to sleep, he lay in bed for hours just thinking about Kitty. How she laughed so sincerely last night. How she seemed so happy, happier than he had ever seen her. How she was so different than what you would expect her to be like. Ryder started to wonder why he was thinking so much about Kitty and how he couldn't get the image of her face out of his head. He gave up on trying to figure out the answer as to why he had taken a sudden liking to the head cheerleader at McKinley. Eventually he fell asleep with the thought of what Kitty could have been doing at that moment on his mind.
