Chapter 10

"At least tell us why your so quiet, its been a week" Benny says handing me a chocolate "its nothing, I'm fine" I say softly,okay after Ryder said he loved me,he kissed me,that was the best ten minutes of my life,but since then we haven't been very talkative to anyone, Elizabeth knows Ryder's silence has something to do with me, and I know I'm gonna get something I'll always remember.

"Hey Ryder" Nikki says and I look up at Ryder,he smiles at her and she walked over to him "did something happen between you two?" Benny asks "no" I say simply "hey Benny" Ryder says walking over to us "hey brother, can you tell me why the two of you are silent?" "ask Coral, she might know" Ryder says looking at me,I took in a sharp breath at his eyes,man since we kissed I've been bit by the love bug,"there's nothing between us,let's get to class"I say quickly "no,what happened at the party?" Alec asked,I sighed "nothing" "liar liar" "Ryder, your like a five year old" "yes and those were the best ten minutes of my life", I hit my forehead walking away "no way!!" the girls scream chasing me,I can't believe he said that, Nikki grabbed my waist "wait a minute shorty,what happened in ten minutes?" Nikki asked "we just kissed" "just kissed?,for ten minutes?!" "Nikki,it's no big deal" "shut it,you made out for ten minutes and your saying its no big deal?,oh wow,some best friend for not telling us" "guys, you can't be mad at me right now" "we are not talking to you" "yeah right", I hug both of them and they hug me back,I laugh "see" "ugh!,your just too adorable" "she is isn't she?", I look at Ryder and rolled my eyes "typical Ryder" "adorable Coral" "we should go", the girls walked away and I look at Ryder.

"Wanna talk about it?" I ask "sure", we walked down the hall,which is always empty "it was the best ten minutes, I swear" Ryder says and I laughed "yeah and you ignored me why again?" "hey,you ignored me too" "don't play the blame game,I'm innocent either way", he wraps his arms around me "I missed you" "really?" "of course,your like this little missing piece that I can never get tired of" "awe" "and now you can yell at me even more" "nope,you have a girlfriend to do that,I'm just a friend" "that's just it,I want to be more than friends with you" "that can't happen Ryder" "why not?,and don't say because your a nobody" "I wasn't gonna but since you reminded me?", he covered my mouth and I laughed "I'm kidding,we're just different" "how so?" "I don't know, plus I already hate Elizabeth and nothing would please me more than killing her but with all this hate going around,I lost taste", he looks at me for a minute before kissing me on the lips,I responded immediately, his lips were just so soft and sweet,I'd kiss them all day if I got the chance.

"You know I won't stop till your mine right?" Ryder asks "well you'll get bored after a while" I shrugged before walking away,hearing him chuckle,of course he won't give up,Nikki and Benny had huge grins on "you two are so cute together" "yeah,its never gonna happen" I say as we head to class.

"Coral,can I ask you something?" Elizabeth asked sitting at our lunch table,nope, "yeah sure" "is there something going on between you and Ryder?" "no,why would you ask that?", girl your getting dissed and you don't know it,"he's just been distant" "he's your boyfriend, you should know his problem", I was about to get up but she pulled me down, which caused the boys to get up,I held them off "look,if you two are being all smoochy behind my back,I'll make you pay!" Elizabeth hissed in my ear "then put a leash on your boy!", with that I got up and left,my number one priority is to stay away from Ryder for good this time.

"So let me get this straight, she threatened you?" Alec asked unbelievably,I nod sipping my milkshake, he nods biting his lip "can we do anything about it?" Mike asked "no,it's fine, I already know how much he loves her,they announced it in front of everyone" "Baby-" "I don't wanna hear it guys" "he's just confused" "yeah?",I looked at Ryder sitting with Elizabeth, he was just staring out of space while she talked to Daisy,"hey,can I talk to you for a sec?" Shaun asked "why?" I ask "just for a minute,I promise not to do anything",I look at the boys "I'll be right back", I walked out with Shaun,we had to walk pass Ryder,who was confused as I was. "Look,I'm sorry for how I've treated you" "why the change of heart?",he chuckles "the reason I always bugged you was because I liked you" "oh wow?" "no really,I did like you but because I knew I couldn't have you,I hated you" "your confusing" "I know,I'm leaving with my parents tonight,I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry" "thanks I guess,but why now?" "I just wanted tell you that everyone can make mistakes" he motions to Ryder,who's looking at us,I rolled my eyes "he's fine, he's got a girlfriend" "dude?" Shaun says shaking me, I laugh "stop" "no,I've seen Ryder like someone, but the way he talks,defends or even looks at you is enough to see the love he has for you" "oh look at you being all Dr.Love" I poked his chest and he laughs,he's not really so bad "just don't break the poor guy too much,he's already drilling holes in my head" "I can tell" "anyway,have a great life Baby,and don't mind that bitch,she doesn't love him,she's gotten pregnant so many times and thrown out so many babies, she beats a garbage truck", I laugh hugging him,he hugs me back "who knew you were so sweet" he grins "you too" I smile "bye" "bye,and you are officially my favorite person", he smiles "good to know", he left, honestly, who knew he'd be so sweet and he liked me,this is too much for me.

I was walking pass the table where Ryder was when I got pushed in the seat next to him,I looked up at Elizabeth and Daisy, what are they trying to prove,"so now your silent?" Elizabeth asked sitting in front of us,we both looked at her in annoyance "can I go?" I ask trying to get up but another girl sat there, pushing me further into the seat,so I'm pressed up against Ryder,which makes my heart thud harshly in my chest and very unhealthy too, "so what's going on between you and my boyfriend?" "Elizabeth,there's nothing going on between us" Ryder grits "there is,why are you always defending her?" "because she's my friend" "so friends stop talking to each other for no reason?" "what is your freaking problem, he's your boyfriend, the hell, your just obsessed with him not having another girlfriend so you don't want to break up with him and trust me when I say this,the next time you put those wrinkled fingers on me is the day Ryder hates me because I'm gonna kill you!" I hissed before pushing the girl off the seat and getting up.

"Wow,let's just go,you look like you'd run someone over" Benny says as they got up and we leave,I just have a little more time in this place.
