†HATE†

Ryan stood up from the ground with a very dark expression that seemed to burn Samuel to the ground.

Both Aria and Samuel looked up at him "Ryan, no," Aria said quickly understanding. She could see it in his eyes, Ryan had accepted the dare.

"Ryan, don't do this," Aria pleaded, it's just a game but Ryan's expression remained resolute and Samuel's grin grew wider.

"Excellent choice, Ryan," Samuel said and Aria felt a chill run down her spine.

This was going too far, she has to stop this before Ryan or even Samuel does something they all would regret."Ryan, listen to me," Aria said with her words tumbling out in a frantic plea, but Ryan turned away with his back to her like a shield, his shoulders squared and his feet heavily rooted.

Ryan didn't look at her eyes, he didn't want to back down from the dare.

Not now and not in front of Samuel. He could read Samuel's nature.
