Ryan Bell

I had my arm around her.
What the hell are you doing? I voice echoed inside my head. You haven’t told her you like her yet, you idiot! I didn’t care, she was so warm. I had a finger in her smooth, blond hair. Do I dare move, let go, tighten my grip? Then I saw whoever threw the snowball at Mel. Ryan Bell rose from the bushes. He was a pale, black-haired creep. He was popular, at I never knew why. Plus he liked Melanie, and that was bad. He more popular than me, so he might ask her…....
“Sup Mel.” Ryan winked, I think I felt Melanie recoil when he made the gesture.
“Get away Ryan.” Melanie responded coolly.
“Can’t help it. Your way too hot to be out here with him.” Ryan pointed an accusing finger at me.
“At least I know her, Ryan.” I retorted.
“The only reason you wanted to get to know her is cause you liked hew!”
Damn it!
I can’t say I don’t like her, but I can’t say I like her either. Need to come up with an answer.
“So what if I do?” The best I could do for now.
“I’d fight you.”
“Fine!”
