20 Still Friends
Ryan hated how Castor was acting distant. He glanced over to Castor's way as the Professor droned on. It felt like the class would not end. He wanted to catch up with Castor after class.
Ryan was relieved when class was dismissed, and Castor wasn't rushing out. "Hey! Castor, can you please wait up?"
Castor turned as he stood up. "I can, but don't make me regret it."
Ryan was taken aback by Castor's attitude, "Truce. Please," Ryan extended his hand.
Castor relaxed and shook his hand, "Truce."
They walked out of the classroom together and stopped.
"Ryan, What's on your mind?" Castor asked, glancing at his phone and seeing notifications from both work and Arryn.
“Can we talk, please?" Ryan Pleaded.
"Fine, let's go to the campus Starbucks and talk," Castor agreed.
They walked in silence as Castor answered messages on his phone. "Sorry, it's work, which has been extra busy as of late."
