Nancy pulled Ryan all the way to the plaza and then finally let go of his arm. "Hey... are you okay? You know, they didn't mean to make you angry, it was just harmless fun. I mean, you know Al, that's the only thing he's good at!", she assured him with a calm voice. Uhm, except for playing guitar and a bit of singing and being super nice of he wasn't annoying her- ehhh whatever, that was nothing Ryan had to know. She smiley slightly at her Ex and waited for his reaction.

Yeah no, just being pulled out of the situation wasn't calming him down. Did Nancy not realize what had happened? Is she seriously going to their side? He looked at her, his brow still furrowed but with more confusion than anger. Of course she wouldn't understand- she didn't understand when they were together, how would she now? " You don't get it do you, Nancy ? I'm the victim here ! " He stepped back, creating space inbetween the two. His heart pounding in his chest as a vast range of emotions played through his head. He has to deal with this shit with his team mates and now the entire drama club knows...they know...he knows they know. " You told them didn't you. You fucking told them. "

Post by Copper on Jun 27, 2018 21:21:53 GMT
Copper was extremely hungry. His long, slimy tongue hung out of the open mouth. His master Andrei got a call from Ms. Truman about the mess in the service room in the middle of their walk, so he didn't have time to walk Copper back home and had to take the dog with him. Andrei tied the leash to the ladder railing right under the entrance roof, but the pupper wasn't in the mood to wait. He wriggled out of his collar and sneaked into the building.
So now the pupper walked around the school without a collar, looking for his master... AND food. The "good boy" followed the smell of food the first time but he found nothing but three perplexed "long-legs". He's decided to change his course and ran outside. Ears flapping, he was about to ran out of the northern entry to the plaza but backed away. He loved to feel the wind in his fur, but he definitly didn't like the rain and coldness and more strange "long-legs". He backed away and ran down the corridor to the right wing of the school.

" You don't get it do you, Nancy ? I'm the victim here ! " "Hey, it's okay, really. I saw what happened. They shouldn't have done this, but I think the physical act from you was a bit enough. I mean, just telling them that you don't think it's fun at all would've been enough..", she replied calmly. No need to talk him down now, he'd just get even angrier.
" You told them didn't you. You fucking told them. " Nancy was confused for a second and then gasped in indignation. "Wait, what?? No, I did NOT!", she revolted. Now Nancy was the angry one here and she folded her arms to keep them under control. "Why the heck would I do that? I told you so many times already that I'm NOT EVER gonna tell anyone, okay? Have I ever lied to you?? I mean, you can't hide it forever but I will not be the one to reveal it to anyone! That's your own job!" When she had raised her voice at the beginning, she tried to control her voice more and only hissed the last part.
Nancy noted a dog running their way, but he stopped at the entry next to both of them and then ran away again. What was that? Didn't she know that dog? Nancy couldn't care right now though, she had more important things to deal with.

He knew that Nancy hadn't told anyone- he's never even fully admitted to her himself, but the anger continued flowing as the accusations continued buzzing through his head. His eyes closed, trying to regulate his breathing before saying another word. She's right- she was alright right. Ryan's eyes opened again, this time staring intently at the woman before him. His shoulders drooping as he almost admitted defeat. " Nancy I- " He paused, unsure where to go from there. What was he to say? He knew for a fact he wasn't apologizing for his actions. There was no need to. He wasn't in the wrong here. His head began to lower- his eyes taking interest in the pavement under their feet. " I can't do this anymore - " What a vague reply, but it was the best his emotional ass was able to stomach. No way in hell was he admitting how he felt around men- because he didn't. He felt nothing...right? It was the constant jeers he received merely creating rumors. Hell, if he was gay he'd at least admit it himself rather than the entire school just thinking it . but he's not- Ryan's thoughts were quickly put out at the sight of a dog quite randomly appearing- only to disappear almost instantly. What the hell was that- the dog was recognizable but couldn't put a name or face on it's owner. He looked at Nancy as if to ask if she saw the same thing he had just witnessed- or was his blind rage causing him to hallucinate

Nancy's anger poofed, when she saw Ryan giving in, lowering his gaze. She sighed.
" Nancy I- I can't do this anymore - " It was breaking her heart seeing him struggling so hard on this. She wasn't exactly sure if what he was talking about was that he couldn't keep on pretending to be straight, or something else. But probably this. "Hey..... it's okay. I know it's hard.", she spoke softly and took a step forward to put her hands on his upper arms, trying to comfort him without coming too close to him. Urgh, these muscles... Nancy, stop! How can you think about something like that when your ex is so miserable? "You know.... highschool won't last forever. If you really can't bring yourself to admit it in front of the school - you can just leave it all behind after graduation. Go to a big city, where nobody would judge you. Those peasants here are not clever enough to accept people for who they are. Their thinking is just so limited that everything they don't know is 'bad'.", she sighed again. She went on with genuine voice: "I mean... you shouldn't lie to yourself at least. You don't have to change anything about you, it's all there, and even more than you might think. Just be honest with yourself, I beg you. Maybe this would help you ease off. Nobody can look into your head, you know?" She smiled with the last sentence.
Nancy looked back at Ryan after the dog has disappeared, seeing the same confusion in his eyes. She blinked and then shrugged. Yeah, she'd seen it too.
Her phone buzzed, someone had sent her a text. Nhh, she'd look at it later. Ryan and her had a serious talk going on right now and she wanted to take the chance to encourage him more about his sexuality.

Yeah so, they're just going to ignore the random dog walking by? Hm, alright. Ryan tried to shake his curiosity with focusing on Nancy's touch, leaning into her hands. Fuck, how does she do that? How is she able to calm him down just by a few words and a simple touch. She was always good at that...another reason he had fallen in love with her in the first place. He lifted his head up, this time their eyes meeting- Ryan stared intently at her for a moment before tears had begun stinging the corners of his eyes. Tears? Is he crying? Is he honest to god crying right now? He brought his hands up, rubbing his eyes- trying not to let any fall, revealing them to Nancy. " God, I'm such a baby." He muttered, trying to wipe up any reminiscence of tears he possibly could. Hopefully no one was around- he honestly couldn't stomach the thought of someone crossing their path as he stood in front of his ex practically weeping his ass off. Ryan's own phone had gone off during their little Dr.Phil episode- he not being so polite as he grimaced, taking his phone out of his back pocket. " Sorry I- I gotta make sure it's not my mom." He eyed the screen seeing Emery's name flash through all the notifications. Dammit Em...he figured it was just another scolding via text about clocking her brother. Really he had no interest in reading what ever the hell it said.

Nancy looked back into Ryan's eyes, and then.. were those...tears? The raven-haired opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. Oh, Ryan, my poor baby....
" God, I'm such a baby." That was it. She couldn't hold back anymore and gave him a strong hug. She almost wanted to say 'You're my baby', but he wasn't anymore. "No, you're not...", she said quietly and kept hugging him. She felt him moving his arms to wipe away his tears and she backed off to look at him. With a smile, she carefully wiped away a tear from his cheek. "Hey, it's okay to cry from time to time. Life's tough...", she meant snd smiled at him. She was almost acting out a motherly behaviour towards him..... At least he didn't despise her for being like this or pity her that she hadn't moved on yet. Her thoughts were interrupted though, when his phone ringed. She took a step back.
" Sorry I- I gotta make sure it's not my mom." "Uh, sure......" When Ryan looked at his phone, an annoyed look appeared on his face. Probably not his mother but someone annoying? This moment, her phone buzzed again. Maybe it was something urgent? She pulled out her phone she had a text from Arielle and two from Tara.
Hello Nancy, are you still in the auditorium ? Just wanted to prevent you that we saw some dog in the cafeteria. Have you seen it ? It's probably nothing to worry about but be careful :) Hey Nancy, sorry to bother again. Forgot about the dog thing miss Kishi's came back apparently. If you're not in the auditorium you should maybe return there. Make sure to be fine :)
Ohhhh.. Oh my god yes, we saw him here at the plaza too! I wonder whose dog that is? Thank you Tara dear for telling me! You're never a bother to me, okay hun? I'll make sure to go back as quickly as I can. See you there! :), she texted her back and looked at Ryan. "Uhm, I just got a message that auntie has arrived, so we should probably go back to the auditorium..", she said tentative, checking if Ryan was okay to go back with her.

"Uhm, I just got a message that auntie has arrived, so we should probably go back to the auditorium..", Ryan's face only revolted back further. Really? Go back there? Where everyone was probably pissed at him for causing such a commotion? Yeah no thanks. Maybe he could weasel out of this. wait a second could we rewind back to that hug? Because damn that felt good. Maybe too good. He wasn't sure what that emotion was caused by really, this safe wanted feeling radiating from the warm embrace. Was he not over her? He must be considering his status with Tristan..but then why did he feel this way when they touched? True it had been awhile since the two broke apart, but could a small bit of longing still be there? He sighed as she had pulled away, already motioning that she herself was moving back towards the auditorium. He shook his head, waving his hand in a shooing motion. " I think I'm gonna go clean myself up first. I'll meet you there." Ryan had no intention of meeting back up with her or any of the theater club students. Like hell was he going to walk back in as if nothing happened. But, he did still have blood on his knuckles from the hand-to-face collision he had earlier with Al. Not sure how that'd look walking around with that lingering on his hand.

" I think I'm gonna go clean myself up first. I'll meet you there." Unsure, Nancy pursed her lips. On the one hand she wasn't sure if she could leave him alone already, but on the other hand, she didn't want to make auntie even more mad. She would accept her explanation probably and she could put in a good word for Ryan, so she wouldn't shout at him. Yeah, he would be fine. He was a grown man, he could handle being a lone for a minute, Nancy. Stop it. She flashed him a smile for a second. "Hmm, alright.I'll be waiting for you there.", she said eventually and lifted her hand to give him a short wave too, before she turned around and left the plaza.

Ryan forced a fake smile before waving her off, watching as she walked further and further until she was out of sight. Damn he hates watching her leave...but boy does he love watching her go. His smile faded as he pulled his phone from his pocket. He needed someone right now...someone who wasn't his ex-girlfriend. As much as he knew Nancy meant well, He just...couldn't really be as open with her as he wanted. He needed...someone else .However; Tristan was probably still lingering around the Auditorium, a place he had previously deemed not suitable for his emotional ass at the moment. Maybe he could drive the kid out of there- not like that was hard honestly. Tristan didn't need much convincing from him to do what he wanted, not that that was a bad thing, made things easier really. His screen lit up his face as he quickly texted the other ' Hey you still in the club? Can you come to the plaza? Need you. 'There. That sounded nonchalant right? Not desperate at all.

The woman was patrolling the school corridors. As always. Only one lap left before she would finally go home. It was Sunday evening, almost all of her students were gone, besides probably some club members, like drama and... who else? Art club? Oh, gosh, she was getting old.
It's not something that she liked, but something she was obligated to do. Keep everything in order. Provide a safe and healthy environment for all of "her children". Speaking of which, when she was passing down the northern hallway, she saw Ryan standing alone, in the rain.
"Ryan, dear, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the other end of the school?" she said, walking outside and opening a parasol, to not let raindrops falling from the porch ruin his suit. The woman tilted her head and squinted her eyes to take a better look at him. Something was wrong...

"Ryan, dear, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the other end of the school?"Oh god- his head shot up from his phone, his mother standing before him. A parasol brimming over his head. God dammit. Why was she here now?! Not that he didn't love his mother or anything. Quite the opposite for this momma's boy. It was more like- wow what incredible timing. Almost too incredible. Must be some kind of motherly instinct or something. Ryan's hand pushed back his damp bangs, a weary smile covering over his lips. He knew he couldn't lie to her about what had just happened. She'd know in an instant- but...stretching the truth couldn't hurt too much right? " Nothing- I uh Nancy and I had another fight. " Hopefully she wouldn't push further on this subject. She knew Ryan had taken the breakup rather hard- the last thing she'd want to do is reopen that festering wound. Besides, it had been a good solid ten minutes before Tristan had replied to his text. Something was wrong, that much he could tell. Considering the guy had no problem responding right away. He needed to weasel out of his mother's hold and fast.

Another fight you say? Huh.
Ryan indeed was still recovering - as well as his dear mother! - from the break-up, but still! "I'm so sorry, Roo," Madonna said with a genuine apologetic smile and fixed a lock of his hair that fell out of place and now was covering his eyes. "My baby boy, never keeps his hair straight," she thought with a nostalgic aged sigh and looked down on his clothes. They looked pretty wrinkled as well. "Or his jaket.." And those shifty eyes, like he wanted to flee rather than wait to have a pleasant chat before the busy evening at the drama club with her, "Or his everything!"
"Ryan, dear, can I help you?" she asked after a short pause, her eyes expressing both worry and frustration.
With the time that's passed and Ryan getting older it was harder to communicate with him. What a wonderful times it was when he was just a kid, a happy little boy who loves baseball and his mommy. Why do things have to be so difficult now?

Ryan gently swatted away at his mother's hand, clearly irritated by her coddling. He loved his mother very much but does she really need to show this much affection at school? His friends already tease him about being a momma's boy. Don't really need to push it further. He moved his hair back in place before stepping away slightly, a fake almost nervous smile being made as he turned to face her. " Mom I'm fine. I don't want to talk about it- I'll see you later ok?" He didn't really give her time to answer as he continued stepping back further and further away from her.
