ARIA
I'm flustered.
I can't even think straight after the interaction I had with Ryder just now. I keep walking, praying to the goddess that he won't come after me.
For a moment there, I almost convinced myself that he wasn't lying when he mentioned that the whole thing I'd witnessed was a setup. There was just so much sincerity in his words that I couldn't help but feel like he was telling the truth.
But of course, I returned to my senses. I can't fall for his tricks again.
How many times should I get hurt because of him?
I'll be walking home today because Uncle Barty will be busy for the entirety of the day. It's an opportunity for me to clear my head, that's for sure. Lately, Ryder has become so unpredictable. It's pure hell, not knowing what to expect from him.
A rejection
