Goddard's Home for Troubled Teens

Val

I glance at him, "Then you'd be cheating on her."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I watch him, "Now, Now, I know what'll make you feel better."

Sharp

I move closer and set a hand on the side of her face, "There are a few things Mel doesn't mind. As long as she doesn't find out..."

```
Ryder

I don't listen, keeping my eyes closed and my ears covered.

Val

I study him before shrugging and looking down.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I sigh, "C'mon. Don't be an a*sh*le."

Sharp

I trace the side of her of face with a finger before cupping her chin, "You don't like me much, do you?"

`````
Ryder

I keep silent, not looking at her.

Val

"After last night, not really," I answer.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I stand and walk to him, wrapping my arms around him from behind, "C'mon..."

Sharp

"Why not?" I ask.

```
Ryder

I remove her hands from me and stand, pushing her away, "Don't touch me."

Val

I look at him, "Just 'cause."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

He pushes me and I sigh, "Ryder..."

Sharp

I don't let go of her, "Tell me."

[b]Ryder[b]

I shake my head and point to the door, "Get out."

Val

I hesitate, "Because I just do."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I sigh, "No," I sit on his bed again.

Sharp

I shake my head, "Not a good enough answer."

`````
Ryder

I shake my head, "Then i will."

Val

I shake my head, "We'll too bad for you then."

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

"then I'll follow you," I tell him.

Sharp

I hesitate before letting go of her a little too rough.

Ryder

I shake my head and climb up the roof.

Val

I swallow and look down again, staying silent.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I follow him, sighing.

Sharp

I sit back and wonder what Mel would allow me to do.

```
Ryder

I sit by the chimney and keep my stash hidden in my jacket.

Val

I pick at the grass again, sighing.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Mel

I sit beside him, "What's that?"
