A new friendship.

Things were awkward between us since I hugged him. But I had to to ask him if he felt bad when I hugged him. I asked him,he said that he didn't mind it since I needed a hug from a long time. What he said was absolutely true,my parents were always busy and Estelle was busy chasing Eric so I didn't get the chance to hug anyone since a long time. I was happy that he understood why I hugged him. He told me that we should be friends since he can protect me. I told him that I didn't need anyone to protect me but I do need a friend so we shook hands. When the competition started,we got the topic animal safety. I gave my speech and the opposing team asked us the question,if we will not test cosmetics on animals,then how will we know if it's safe or not? Ryan replied,there are many cruelty free cosmetics in the market which are better than the tested ones. We shoud first reduce the amount of testing and then stop it. Everyone cheered for him including girls but he ignored everyone and asked me if he was fluent with the answer. I saw how the girls of his school were furious that he was talking to me. I told him that he was good and we also won the competition. After leaving the competition hall,Ryan asked me if I could accompany him to his school bus. I agreed and while walking through the corridor,the girls from the Blake highschool were staring at my soul. They probably had a crush on Ryan, Ryan told me not to worry since they will not do anything to me. We reached the bus and he asked me to sit with him for a while since we were early. I asked him why he stopped me,he said, that he wanted to talk to me since I was the only person who understood him. He seemed sad,so I asked him what was going on with him. He told me that he was tired and didn't want to be chased by girls anymore. I told him that he should be happy since he likes to flirt with girls a lot. He said,that he did that only with me since he liked me but he never ever flirted with any other girl. I blushed again,he said,can't you just accept the fact that you like me. I told him that I didn't like him,I liked Eric. He said frustratingly,you still like that dude!? He made you cry in front of your classmates and you like him? What a joke. Anyways, let's talk about my problem,actually I did something I shouldn't have with a girl this year. I was shocked by what he said,but then he said, Emily it's not what you think. A girl proposed me infront of everyone and I rejected her. She was so sad that she told me that she will attempt suicide. She didn't attempt suicide but left the school this year just because of me. This is why I decided to make you my friend since you are the only girl who treats me like a normal person and even roasts me a lot. And this is also the reason why I like you. After some time, I saw his classmates coming and decided to go home. I told Ryan that we will meet tomorrow and left. After coming home,I felt pretty relaxed even though I had a fight with Eric. I dont know what I did with him but whatever is it,I will find it out. I had dinner and slept. My phone rang at 12 am. When I picked up the call it was Ryan. He told me that he was alone at his home and had a stomach ache. He said that he wouldn't have called me but door dash delivery is not working and he needs the medicine. I don't know why but I got up, took my jacket,woke up my caretaker and left without thinking. I bought the medicine,some porridge and took a cab. When I reached to his house,his parents were not there,I told my caretaker to wait outside and got inside. I went to Ryan's room and saw him suffering with pain. I fed him the medicine and made some porridge for him. I served the porridge and gave it to him. He was unable to eat it but was still smiling. I fed him since I didn't have a have choice. He said thanks to me and told me that his parents were out of station for 2 days and they will be back the day after tomorrow. He didn't have a choice so he had to call me,he also said sorry to me. I told him not to worry about it and told him that I was leaving. I also made some breakfast for him in advance. After reaching home I asked my caretaker to forgive me since I disturbed her sleep. And then, I also slept,when I reached school the next day,Ryan looked fine and healthy. I still asked him if he was ok and he said that he was fine. He also thanked me for making him breakfast and said that the porridge was delicious. Today,the competition got cancelled since one of the judges,couldn't come. So the students of the Blake highschool were going to stay in the champion highschool and discuss about the next match. Everyone was assigned different classrooms. Luckily,I got the one with Eric. I was happy but after reaching the classroom I saw Eric and Estelle flirting with each other. I felt bad but Ryan told me not to worry about it. We sat on an empty bench and discussed the ideas for the next match for an hour. After an hour, we decided to take a break in the cafeteria but when I was going into the cafeteria I saw Estelle entering the cafeteria with Eric.
