False Memmories

Chapter one- new team member When a school staff was walking through the Hall of the eleventh graders. He stopped at the Last class in that hall. He had a note in his Hands. It was for someone in that classroom. The students were studying math from their teacher. He gave the note to the maths teacher. He called out the name Ryan out. Loud. Ryan was sitting really away from the Teacher. He had his own thoughts that were bothering him. The symmetric face with that pointy nose looked lost. His hazel eyes frowned at his eyebrows. His lean but fit hands were scratching his black, messy air. Teacher called Ryan exactly five times. He really didn’t hear it. The teacher banged his big scale on his table. Everyone, including Ryan, startles. “Ryan, go to the staffroom. P. E teacher is looking for you”. “I am really sorry, sir. I got bothered”. When he said that, a beautiful girl who sat beside him smiled at him. He saw her, but he was too afraid to look at her. He went to the teacher’s room. PE teacher told him about the basketball team. “Simon’s leg’s injured. He can’t play for two years. His bones replaced with steel. He will play but he can’t play for this school anymore. It’s just one year left. I asked everyone. They all suggested your name. I think you should join the team”. He patted Ryan’s shoulder. Ryan laughed out of his heart. He left the room looking thrilled. “He did it, didn’t he”. It disappointed us when he tried this hard and lost all of his weight and he couldn’t come to the selection because of that devil Simon. Karma is real. Ryan walked out. His old self used his two hands to hold his tears. He remembered the time when he used to be a fat kid till 9th grade. Ryan started working on his weight loss since 10th grade and he lost all his fat within eight months. He wanted to play basketball so he can connect to his father more. He thought he was a disappointment to his father. So he worked to lose his weight, and he became really handsome. When he calmed his mind down on the way back to his class, he remembered two things. His old girlfriend who moved out on ninth grade and her best friend who confessed to him today his old girlfriend’s name was Celine. She was the most beautiful and popular girl in their class. When he got a crush on her, every other kid where bullying him by saying that she was way out of your league. But they were together for three years. When he thought about Celine, his heart ached because deep down, he missed her. Her best friend confessed to him today. It was really confusing. He walked through the hall thinking about these things. A girl was walking through his way. He saw her waving at him. It was Donna, the girl who confessed to him. Ryan panicked and went the opposite way. Ryan hung out with his friend Joe in another class till every class of that day finished. His guilt was escaping from Donna’s innocent I’m-in -love-with-you-because-you-became-handsome eyes. He was glad he could avoid her all day. He will avoid her the next whole semester if he could.Donna looked for him everywhere. She was really upset and was tearing up about he avoiding her. “ I can’t believe Ryan’s such a jerk” her friends told each other. She wiped her tears with her left hand. “This is the last day of eleventh grade. If I can’t find him now I have to wait for whole summer vacation. What if he have another girl by then. I have to talk to him. Whatever it is”. She said with a tear wiped face of desperation. She took her pink and pastel colour car to the ride to find him wherever he is. She looked around every corners near school roads. She went to his home. She couldn’t find him anywhere. She knew a lot of places where he could be. But she was hoping he wouldn’t go to anyone of them. A silly high school girl’s to get a handsome boyfriend. She took the stearing and spinned it as fast as she could. Finally she went to a playground in that region. Where every kids would play. Even they used to play there. Even growing up they hung out and held parties there. Donna parked her car. Ryan was there lying on that grass land. That picture came to her mind but in her mind someone else was there sitting beside him. That picture which happened five years ago kept coming to her mind. Donna paused for a moment. She kept rethinking what she was about to do. “it’s where they first met. The jerk’s still thinking about her” she said while kicking the can of soda with her feet. Ryan was trying to dream while he was awake. He was trying to relive when he first met Celine. It was five years ago. He was on 6th grade summer vacation. Ryan was there with his sister, and Celine was with hers. Celine and Ryan weren’t that friends, but their parents were. When they met at the park, they were talking about each other’s lives. So it forced Ryan to see her. He looked once and started swinging his sister back and forth. But she smiled at him. She asked him if he can push her too. He said no angrily and ran. “what’s your brother’s problem?”. She asked his sister. There was a vendor selling potatoes. Poor Ryan didn’t have any money with him. He knew his mother didn’t, too. So he was about to give up. He put on a sad but mature face. He is a 12-year-old after all. Celine was watching him all the time he lied on that grass land. Celine was hiding behind the vendor’s cart. She waited silently. When the vendor was bending down to take something. She took two baked potatoes and ran to Ryan. She gave one to him. “is it that tasty that you are this upset when you didn’t get one?”. When he got the potatoes in his hands, he smiled and looked at Celine. That’s when he notices how beautiful she was. He noticed how big her lashes were and how delightful her smile was. He kept smiling at her. Donna and Ryan were reliving at the same time. She started having doubts. “she is better than me in everything. I’m not letting her take this”. She made her mind and walked towards him. She sat down next to him. “huh I didn’t know you were still into her. I mean, remembering everything she did to you. Why do you keep thinking about that horrible person”. “horrible?. What are you talking about?”. “Don’t you remember how she put you on a hook for three months and even when she accepted your confession, she still hung out with Dylan, the handsome, rich boy? That b***h still made you do things for her. She was using you until made you do things for her. She was using you until you crumbled”. Donna looked at his face while telling it. His face was questioning himself. I was her best friend. Even she was sweet to everyone, I saw the authentic version of her. I saw how bitchy and manipulative she was. My only fault was that I encouraged it. I regret it now. Please stop thinking about she used you. He was really stunned. All he remembered were the splendid memories. He never saw the bad side of her. “hey I have something to do”. Ryan said to Donna and ran off. Donna smirked. “I don’ know if I’m saying the truth or lie which is so closed to being true”. She was proud of herself. Ryan ran to his home. His room was full if souvenirs from her. He had everything v he got from her in that room.. But that’s when he realized not that much. He used to remember the moments with her wrongly. He thought she loved him. Was his eyes covered by his revenge he got to the kids who bullied him?. He started remembering things differently. He remembered how she made him a long time to respond to his confession. How she makes him command his mother to sew new dresses for her. “Ryan, can your mom sew me a dress”. “Ryan, can you buy me drinks”. She never ate dinner with Ryan. Ryan, can you drive me there on your bike? ‘Why was Dylan always with her after school?’ What was she doing the time they weren’t together?. Her manipulative words buried in her sweet smile. The sparkle in her eyes and smile gone black. Ryan punched his mirror out of frustration. The reflection of himself shattered like his wonderful memories of Celine. His hand bled. He took his bike in the middle of the night with his left hand covered in bandages. He went to the building where Donna live. It wasn’t an extensive building. She lived on the third floor. He stopped his bike there. He threw a stone to her open window. When a stone came flying to her room window. She suddenly got surprised. She looked out the window and called Celine?. But she saw Ryan. Donna felt like she saw Celine with him. Donna smiled. Looking at Ryan and Donna standing there, Celine, who was sitting on a movers’ truck, drew away from there.
