Starting at Sunset Chapter 5

The next week was horrible. Ryan wasn't at school and the Doctor said that he would be back by Monday. I tell you something is up with that doctor. Any way, Ally has been crying along with me all weekend. We visited Ryan a couple times and he seems to be doing better. I'm visiting him today after school. Lunch was extremely boring today. It was just me and Ally. Thomas had given us the evil glare. He was back from his suspension, which was something I didn't get. He nearly killed someone and he only got a couple days of suspension. I talked to the principal and he said,"If the person didn't die, it was only just for a few days." I couldn't believe it. Later on I found out that the principal was Thomas' father. I was so mad, I swear that I could kill someone. I had to leave school early that day. I was kicked out by the principal and I walked home with a very heavy heart.

Ally came over later on after school. She said she was sorry that all this had to happen to me. It was my third week of school and I was in a lot of trouble. I was the reason that Ryan got hurt, I'm the reason Ally was here. She got kicked out too. I don't know why, but it's my fault. After Tim gave us a little snack he put together to try and calm us down. It didn't work. Ally and I then started walking to the hospital to visit Ryan. When we got there, Ryan was just leaving. I screamed with joy and hugged him. He happily returned the hug. There was a loud chorus of gasps but who cared. Ryan was well, not gone, and I would see him around more often. I told him on our way out that our principal was Thomas' dad. He couldn't believe it either. His brother gave me and Ally a ride back to my house.

"You will be at school tomorrow, right?" Ally asked Ryan as we were getting out of the car. "I know a girl who is just crazy about you." I blushed and Ally smiled at me.

Ryan smiled. "Then tell her that I'm 100% sure I'll be there." With that, the car roared and the next thing I knew, the car was out of sight.

The next day was the best day of my life. Thomas' dad was fired. I might have told the entire school. Thomas got a longer suspension from the new principal. He was gone for a really long time. And for once, Elaine was back to normal. We were mad at her for a little while, but Elaine was like a little kid, you couldn't be mad at her for long. At the end of the day, I was about to get on my bus when Ryan pulled me back.

"So is that girl happy that I'm at school today?"

I blushed. "Yes," I said sheepishly.

"Good because he has something for that girl that I've been needing to give her since I met her."

He reached out, grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him. He leaned in and then his lips touched mine. I thought it was a dream. But it was real. It was my first kiss and it was amazing. But at the time, I didn't know that someone was watching me. Someone I didn't want around while this magnificent event was occurring. Someone meaning my old boyfriend, Jeffery.
