We barely talked. We only saw each other in classes we had with each other, and even then we didn’t have anything to talk about.
This is how our classes went:
I walked into performing arts and sat down in my regular seat. “Afternoon,” I greeted Ryan as he walked in.
“Hi,” he simply smiled at me. I frowned, expecting a kiss from him. I never got it. He just ignored me the whole time.
This is how our weekends went:
“Hey babe, you think we can grab some lunch after school?” I asked him.
“Sorry, I have practice,” he told me, and hung up. No bye, no nothing.
Thanksgiving, we spent with my brother and his sister who came down and even they felt a tension between Ryan and I. It was weird. Even when we talked on the phone, he wouldn’t sweet talk me anymore, I couldn’t feel the butterflies anymore. What the fuck?
We were drifting apart, and it scared the shit out of me.
“Heeeeey-zel-lyn,” Audrey sang.
“What’s up?” I half smiled.
“Oh nothing, excited for the vacation,” she chuckled.
“Oh?” I acted interested. “What’s up this vacation?”
“The football team and the cheerleading team are going to spend a week of it together,” she cheesed.
I instantly frowned. Why didn’t Ryan tell me about this? He probably wasn’t planning to go. I can just imagine him saying ‘It doesn’t matter. If I told you, you’d want me to go and not hold me back from socializing’. I smiled at the thought. “Awesome,” I smiled.
“1 week, 7 days,” she paused. “I really don’t know how many hours, minutes and seconds are in a week,” she smirked. “All I know is that I’d have that time with Dolciani.”
I frowned. “Oh? He’s going?”
“Totally.”
“Where are you guys going?” I asked successfully keeping the hiss off my voice.
“We’re going to Tahoe,” she grinned. “I heard that Jay snowboards, I’m gonna ask him to teach me.”
“He’s not that good,” I mumbled.
“What?”
“Nothing. What resort?”
“Sierra at Tahoe,” she told me.
“Ooooh, don’t go there,” I told her. “They have the worst powder,” I lied, when the truth was that it was the best resort ever. “I rode there one time. Go to Mt. Rose in Reno,” I grinned. Hey, I need to show off my skills too.
“I’ll let them know, thanks,” she smiled widely at me.
“You’re so welcome,” I smiled. Fuck heads.

“You’re going to Tahoe with the team?” I asked Ryan. I called him up after my last class, Friday.
“Yeah,” he said boredly.
“Are you with the guys?”
“Yeah.”
“Figured.”
“Huh?”
“Nothing, it’s just that when you’re with them, you act like a total dick.”
“Oh,” he slightly chuckled.
“Call me when my Ryan comes back.” I growled and hung up.

The Christmas break just started. I’m relieved that I actually have some time to myself. I was thinking of going to apologize to Ryan and spend some actual quality time with him but he left for Tahoe already. It’s been 2 weeks since I’ve last talked to him and it’s driving me crazy. He doesn’t even give a shit!
“Are you okay?” Samantha asked kneeling in front of me on the bed. I was sitting pretzel style just staring at out in space.
“Yeah,” I smiled at her.
“Don’t lie,” she told me.
“I’m not,” I shrugged.
“You lie!”
“Fine, I’m going snowboarding,” I told her and stood up.
“Just like that?”
“Just like that,” I smirked.
“Can we come with?” she asked me.
“Sure,” I smiled and went to the closet. “I’m going to Tahoe though, do you have your board?” I asked.
“No,” she frowned.
“Let’s go shopping,” I shrugged and grabbed my keys and made my way to my Range Rover.
We then arrived at Any Mountain in Fremont. I walked in and made my way towards where the boards were at. “Hey, Sam, you board right?” I asked her.
“Kind of. Kyle has taught me a few
