2 Chapter 2

I walked to my locker after leaving Candace. Words that she said to me earlier still playing in my head. She thinks Ryan likes me more than I like him. That I should say something to him.

I love Ryan. He's my best friend and he saves me alot. Will he get mad if I bring this up? I can't deal with this. Maybe I should stop leaning on him so much.

I feel frustrated and angry. I don't want to lose my friend but pushing the subject is not going to help. I throw my stuff in my locker and grab my math book. I have class after lunch.

I slam my locker shut and turn with out looking up. I run right into Jake, dropping my book as I collide with him. He's built and the impact has me flying backwards.

"Fuck!!" I scream out as my back hits the lockers. I don't even look up at him as I start counting. My back hurts now.

He comes over and offers his hand to me. With this shocked expression on his face. "Im so sorry. I didn't see you. Are you okay? "

"Just leave me alone before you end up killing me. " I say glaring at him. I pull myself up as Ryan and Tyler gets to my side.

"Im really sorry. I didn't mean to run into you." Jake offers one last time as he walks away.

"What was that about?" Tyler asks. Tyler looks like he either wants to kill Jake or punch something. I roll my eyes and crack my neck.

"Nothing, lets just go." I answer grabbing my book off the ground. I hang out with a small group. Its mainly Ryan, Tyler, Jay, and Candace. Sometimes more. It just depends on the season. During soccer, Jay's soccer friends tend to hang out with us. But after school our group triples and we hang out with Ryan's brother and his friends at the garage.

I follow them to the cafeteria so I can grab a sandwich before going outside. I look around the cafeteria and notice golden boy Jake already sitting in the middle of his group. Their all eating up his words and acting like he's a god. I swear he's part of some kind of cult.

I grab my sandwich and the boys follow me out. I let out a breath as we get outside. I'm not really  paying attention to what their talking about. I'm still stuck on that stupid conversation from earlier.

I sit down next to Candace and start eating while pulling grass from the ground. I can't seem to get out of my head. I can't think of a good solution.

"We're going to the party at Owen's house this weekend. " Candace blurts out. I watch the guys look at her. Jay nods, but Ryan looks pissed and Tyler just looks confused.

"How come? We never hang out with football team? " Tyler asks scrunching up his face alittle.

"Why don't we just go to the beach instead? We can take the bikes. It would be a nice ride." Ryan says running a hand thru his hair.

"We can do that Saturday if you want. The party is Friday and I want to go. Mia already said that she would go. I want to do something different. So you in?" Candace says smiling at me like she won the lotto. I realize she's using me to get them to go, as if they will follow me. I still don't think they will go.

"Whatever. "
