Chapter 11

"Bye guys!" Ashley waved.

Ryan replied with a mumbled grunt and Ethan laughed again as he looked Ryan over. What had happened there that afternoon was still extremely funny to him, though Ryan would not readily agree with him.

"Hey, Ethan, is anyone picking you up?" Ashley asked as she got out her bicycle.

Ethan made a sour face as he looked her way.

"My big brother's picking me up; he always does," he replied.

"Okay! See you tomorrow then!" Ashley said cheerfully as she hopped on her bike and pedaled away.

"Bye Ashley," Suzanne smiled and waved nimbly as Ashley rode off.

She and Andrew turned to start walking towards the bus stop.

Ryan's butler, Greg, zoomed in. He alighted from the car.

"Master Ryan," Greg said as he opened the back seat of the limousine for Ryan.

"Thanks," Ryan replied curtly as he entered.

Greg went to the driver's seat.

"Ryan! Wait! Don't leave!" a girly voice shrieked behind them.
