Ryan

I was at my locker, setting my books in it, when the guys walked up, talking about something. I wasn’t taking notice, lost in my thoughts.

Then Bella strolled over to me. /"How is your hand, Ryan?/"

/"It’s fine./" After what happened on Halloween, I had nothing to say to her.

/"Ryan, I want to apologize for that night. It was out of line./"

/"After giving it consideration, I recognized you’re not that kind of guy, and it was flippant./"

/"What kind of game are you playing?/" Jordan asked her.

/"I’m not playing a game./"

/"Guys, I think she’s genuine,/" Frazier said. /"Why don’t we offer her a chance?/"

I thought about it. People make mistakes, and the three of us have made our fair share.

/"Friends?/" She held out her hand.
