chapter 17

Ryan’s POVWe were walking towards KFC. I wanted to hold her hand but I couldn’t. She was laughing and talking about our teacher Mr. Williams. I couldn’t help but smile and chuckle. Her voice is euphonious. I would die to hear her melodious voice. Her eyes are just mesmerizing. One would be in a love trance if they look at her eyes. I want to kiss her badly. I want to show her how much I love her but only I wish it could come true. Only if she were mine.Angel says while laughing “And that’s how Mr. Williams kicked Zach out from the class. The prank was hilarious.” Ugh Zach! Why does she take his name only? Zach this Zach that. Ugh only wished he wasn’t her boyfriend. I really want to smack that person. I mean why he gets to be with my Angel. WHYYYY?? Ryan control yourself.I chuckled and said “Lol that was funny indeed.”She smiled and said “Anyways how much have you studied? I bet you must have finished.”I replied “Yes just brushing up. Plus will study Chemistry Kinetics again.”She said “Cool. I am almost done too.”We reached KFC and went inside. We took a table and sat down.I asked her “What would you like?”She said “Zinger burger meal please with extra fries.”I chuckled “Sure.” And went to order.I told the waitress our order and she noted and I went back to seat.She was busy on her phone while I started at her. I really want to caress her hair. I want to hug her. I want to plant kisses on her forehead, cheeks and lips. I want to hold her. I want to tell her how much she means to me. I really want to do all the things Zach was doing. Only I wished she was mine.She caught me staring and smirked “I am not Mia for your kind info.”I said with love “I know it’s not Mia. It’s you.”She looked with her one eyebrow raised “Ryan?”I woke up from my trance. Fuck I shouldn’t have said that. I laughed nervously and said “N-nothing I am sorry.”She smiled. Omg she smiled. I’m so attracted to her fucking smile. God I so want to hold her and make her feel like a queen. I want to tell her how I feel for her every single day. I want to be what Zach is. But I can’t right? Sigh! I heard her saying “It’s okay Ryan.”The waitress came. Perfect timing to ruin the moment. She came and dropped our plates. Angel rubbed her hands and said “Time to eat.”I chuckled “You and your food.”She chuckled and said “You said something?” while she had already started to eat and was busy eating.I laugh at her innocent face and say, “Nope, nothing… seems like you really do savor the food”She just chuckle and nod in acceptance. I laughed and started eating too. I was looking at her while she was eating. I wanted to take her picture. So I smiled and took out my phone and took her picture. She looked at me with confused face and said “Ryan, please don’t take my embarrassing pic again.”I laughed “I will and always will.” She rolled her eyes and smacked me playfully. I wanted her to touch me more. We both laughed and we drank our coke. After finishing I saw mayonnaise on her face. I told her “Angel there is umm mayo on you.”Angel said “Oh! Could you remove it?”I said “Sure.” ‘My pleasure’ I thought in my mind.I took the tissue and wiped off the mayo. During the moment we looked at each other. I got lost in her eyes. I wanted to close my eyes and kiss her. Oh I was enjoying the moment until she asked “Has it come out?”I stuttered “Y-yea it’s gone.” I cursed to myself inside.She said “Cool. Shall we leave? It’s gonna be 3:30pm.”I looked at my Apple watch and saw. I cursed “Fuck I have to go home to teach Mia.”As we were about to leave, I got a call from Leah. I picked up the phone and said “Hey Leah, what’s up?”Leah: “Hey Ryan, I need your Math notes for today. Could you bring it?”I said “Sure I will come now.”Leah: “See you then, bye”. I ended the call. I looked at Angel and asked “Shall I drop you home?”Angel said “Thank you.”I smirked “Maybe I can tell you more jokes from my joke pit.”She laughed “Lol sure I don’t mind.”I chuckled “Shall we?” I opened the door for her, she laughed “How kind of you sir.”I smiled “It’s my pleasure ma’am.” We both laughed while walking towards the car. To be honest, I wanted this. I wanted to be with her every single time, not that I am obsessed over her. I love her. I want her to be the queen of my heart. I want her to be mine forever. Only if I were this lucky. Only if I was lucky enough to have her…We reached the parking lot. I opened the door for her like a gentleman. Then I walked towards the driver’s seat and sat down. I told her one joke before starting the car “Why couldn’t the pirate play cards? Because he was sitting on the deck!”She started laughing “Oh my gosh! You are so funny.”I said “Listen to this, what did the science book said to the math book? Wow, you’ve got problems.”She scoffs and rolls her eyes “You always have jokes related to studies isn’t it?”I smiled while driving “Yea I love it.”She laughs “You are such a nerd.” I smiled and said “True, but I will always be a handsome nerd.” And winked at her.She smiles and rolls her eyes “Yea yeah drive now.” We both walked while I drove the car towards the house.After 10 minutes we reached to her house. She leaned in and hugged me “Thanks Ryan, Take care.”I hugged her back tight “You too, bye.”She smirks “Have a fun time with Mia.” I roll my eyes and said “It’s just studies Angel.” She smirks “Whatever makes you happy, but I want to know all the details tomorrow.” I smiled and said “Sure.”She gets off the car and walks towards her home. I said in the car “I love you.” While she opened her door. I sighed and drove to Leah’s house. While driving I was thinking of Angel. I was listening to Enrique’s music “Why not me?”(A/N: You can listen to the song to make it livelier and feel Ryan’s emotions.)He was singing the part and I sang along the music,“Escaping nights without you with shadows on the wallMy mind is running wild tryin' hard not to fallYou told me that you love me but say I'm just a friendMy heart is broken up into pieces'Cause I know I'll never free my soulIt's trapped between true love and being aloneWhen my eyes are closed the greatest story toldI woke and my dreams are shattered here on the floorWhy oh why tell me why not meWhy oh why we were meant to beBaby I know I could be all you needWhy oh why oh whyI wanna love youIf you only knew how much I love youSo why not me”I sighed and wiped my tears while driving. I said to myself “Why am I such a coward. Why do I feel like this always? Why only me? Angel please I wanna be yours forever. I want to make you mine. I promise I will keep you happy. Zach is not good for you. I wish you were mine.”I reached Leah’s house and grabbed my bag and removed the Math notes she needed. I walked towards the door and ringed the bell. The maid opened the door and showed me the way where Leah was. I thanked her and walked towards the study room. I opened the door and noticed Leah teaching Leo. Leo was apparently listening carefully to Leah and noting down. I was surprised by this. I mean he never listens to teachers in class but he is listening to Leah.Leah was saying “When we sum a known number of terms in a geometric sequence, we get a finite geometric series.”I said “Hey guys.” They looked at me and Leah said “Finally you are here! Please hand me the notes.”I said “Sure, here take them.” I gave her a notebook and pile of papers. She said “Thanks Ryan.”“Not to interrupt you guys but wasn’t Leo supposed to come at 5?” I asked.Leah smiles at this and says, “Well you see Mr. Douche couldn’t wait for me to teach him so he came at 3:15 itself.”We all laugh at it and then Leah said, “Anyways, now back to the chapter”Leo smirked and said “How on earth do you do that?”Leah asked “Do what?”Leo smirked and said “Look so damn good while teaching.”Leah blushes and I chuckled. Leah hissed “Do you want to study or fail?”Leo’s smile fades away and replaced with fear and said “I… I… want to pass. Please teach me.”Leah smirks “Good boy, now the general formula for determining the sum of a geometric series is given by:Sn=a(1−rn)/1−r where r≠1This formula is easier to use when r<1.”Leo nods and writes it down. I smiled and said “Okay then see you guys tomorrow. Bye.”They both said united “Bye Ryan.” And I shut the door behind me. What a cute couple they will make. Even Angel and I would look cute. But only if she were mine. She is Zach’s and there is nothing I can do to make her mine. I leave it on destiny for this. I only wish that she should be mine. I sighed and walked towards my car and drove home.After 20 minutesI reached home. Gosh I was exhausted so I will go and sleep. Oh wait! Fuck Mia will come today to learn. I totally forgot. I rushed upstairs and went for a shower. I was done and I put on shorts and a sleeveless t shirt. I put on cologne and walked towards study room. As soon as I reached, I placed out the Biology books and went down to grab a snack.While I was eating my maid came and said “Master Ryan, there is a girl named Mia asking for you. Shall I bring her here?”I said “No take her to study room. Tell her to wait while I eat and come. Also give her juice or something to drink.”The maid bowed down and said “Sure master.” And she walked away.I ate my snack quickly and walked towards the study room. I reached and saw Mia waiting for me. I smiled and said “Hi Mia. Sorry it took me few minutes I was eating. Ready to study now?”She looks at me and blushes. She said “It’s ok Ryan… By the way, y-you look nice Ryan.” I smiled and said “Thank you. Let’s start from the beginning. Let us start with Principles of Inheritance and Variance.”She nods “Okay Ryan let me bring out my book.” I nodded and opened the chapter. She removed her book and pen and I said “Okay let’s start.”“Genetics is the branch of biology, which deals with inheritance and variation of characters from parents to offspring.”She writes down the notes while I continued “Mendel’s Experimental Material….” so on and so forth…She writes down and then asks “Ryan, I wanted to ask you something?”I said “Sure ask away.”She asked “I wanted to know if you want to hang out sometime as friends? It’s okay if you say no.” To be honest, I didn’t want to give her any wrong ideas. Not that she isn’t good but I didn’t like her that way. I liked her as friend. But there is no harm in being friends right? I smiled and said “Sure, why not. Let on us continue.”After 2 hours of studying we were done for the day and she was packing her bags. We both took breaks in middle and we talked normally. She was a sweet girl indeed. I knew she liked me, but I like Angel but I don’t know whether I should pursue Angel or Mia. Uggghhh these thought drive me crazy every time. She puts her bag on shoulder and said “See you then tomorrow. Thanks again for taking out your time for me.”I smiled and said “It’s my pleasure. Bye Mia.” She waves “Bye.” And she walks out of the door. I packed my books and continued Math and English. While I was still studying I heard a knock on the door. I looked and saw it was Rhea at the door. She was smirking. I rolled my eyes and asked “What?”She says “What happened between you two?”I said “N-Nothing”She looks at me in a very detective way as though if I don’t tell her, she will hypnotize me and make me speak.I sigh and say, “Fine, she just asked if we can hang out as friends and I said sure.”She sat next to me and rubbed her hand on my shoulder “Are you sure bro? What about Angel?”I sighed “I love Angel. I really do. Anyways she wouldn’t feel jealous if I am going out with Mia. She has Zach. Why would she even look at me in that way?”Rhea smiled and said “I am not sure of that bro. But are you?”I look at her with a confused look, “I don’t know Rhea, but do you think I should move on from Angel… I will always be there for her no matter what but will she ever love me? You know the hardest thing to do is to watch the one you love…love someone else…” a tear dropped from my eyes and I looked down.Rhea was also in tears, she held my hand and said, “I really don’t know what to say or what you should do to make you feel better but all I can say is that you deserve happiness.”I smile at her take a deep breath and said, “Neither do I but just like always I will leave it to the universe to take its course of time… if Angel ever has to be mine she will or else…”After few minutes of me thinking and being silent, I said “Anyways, let’s study now.”She nodded and we studied for 3 more hours. It was 10pm and we went off to bed. Before I slept I took my phone and looked at Angel’s pictures. Pictures of her laughing, eating. I smiled and kissed the photo. Gosh she is perfect for me. She is my queen, my life. I love her so much. I wish she were mine. I wish I could hold her forever. I want to be with her every minute. Only if she were mine. If only she knew how much I love her. She is Zach’s and I hate it when he kisses her. I hate it when he calls her baby. I hate it when he does all the romantic things with her. I only look and wished it was me who should do and not him. With all my previous thought and these I sighed and put the phone on table and drifted off to sleep.Hey guys! Hope you like the chapter. What did Ryan mean?
