Isen;"Ryanne lend me a hand."
Ryanne:"I'm not interested."
Isen:"C'mon Ryanne. You can do this."
Ryanne:" Sorry Isen."
Isen leaned closer to her and whispered into her ears."
Isen:" Unless you want him to know you're RJ."
Ryanne's eyes widened.
Someone knew her secret.
Ryanne:" I give in."
Isen:" Brilliant. Let's begin. We're acting the scene 7."
Scene 7 was the tragic end.
Isen and Ryanne made a good show out of the scene.
Ashton gave him a huge praise.
Ashton:" You did great, Master."
Isen:" Did I just hear that?"
Ashton:" Master Isen."
Isen:" Nah, not so great."
Ashton:" Master Blake."
Isen:" That's more like it. Ryanne you're a pro actress what role do you play."
Ashton:" Ryanne didn't sign up for the play."
Isen:" It's a pity. Such a waste of talent."
Ryanne:" Let's call it a day. I'm heading home."
Ashton:" Master Blake scan me for my contact details. We'll be seeing ourselves more.
Ryanne wait for me!"
Isen sneered
Isen:" What a pathetic dude."
. . .
Kings' and Queens'
Free period...
Ashton:" Ryanne, Master Blake says,' hi!' "
Ryanne:" Pfft"
Ashton:" Why? Don't tell me you hold a grudge against him on first meeting."
Ryanne:" Basically!"
Ashton:" There's a charity gala this Saturday at Ravenford City."
Ryanne:" I'm not going."
Ashton:" Well you'll be accompanying me."
Ryanne:" No way."
Ashton:" That's not for you to decide. It's tomorrow. Come to my place at 9am tomorrow."
Ryanne didn't look thrilled about this.
If it was any other girl he had asked, they'll have been running around the school and squealing.
Ashton:" Ryanne, you don't want to go, right?"
Ryanne:" Yeah"
Ashton:" Beg me."
Ryanne snorted
Ryanne:" Beg you? You're not a god or something. I don't Beg people. That's not happening."
Ashton:" Alright, how about accompanying me for two more months in addition to this as a penalty for not attending tomorrow's gala with me?"
Ryanne thought it through.
She hated been trapped by Ashton for just a month. For him to add another two months was something she couldn't take.
Ryanne:" Fine, I'll come with you."
Ashton smiled happily and left to his buddies.
. . .
Bejie Studios
Ashton didn't attend basketball practice because of his wrist.
He followed Ryanne to the studio.
Ashton:" Master Blake, when would you be teaching me my script?
Isen:" Thirty minutes after I'm done rehearsing for my commercial."
It was break and Ryanne went to grab a bottle of water.
Ashton stopped her.
Ashton:" Ryanne, I'd get that for you."
He rushed to the snack room to get her a bottle of water.
Upon return, he chanced on the convo between Isen and Ryanne.
Isen:" There's a charity gala tommorow at Ravenford.
Ryanne:" I'm aware."
Isen:" Would you be going?"
Ryanne:" Sure"
Isen:" How about I accompany you?"
Before Ryanne could answer, Ashton chipped in,
Ashton:" I'm accompanying her."
Isen:" Is that so?"
Ryanne: "Yeah"
Ashton:" Here's your water"
He handed Ryanne her water and retired to his seat
. . .
Oceanland Residence...
Ryanne arrived home and landed straight on her bed.
In no time, her phone rang.
It was Ashton.
Ashton:" Hey Ryanne. Got home?"
Ryanne:" Yeah"
Ashton:" Rest well, don't forget you'll be coming to my house at 9am tomorrow."
She hung up.
Her phone rang again. It was Ashton.
Ashton:" If you come, I've got a surprise for you."
She hung up.
Her phone rang, she hung it up without a second thought.
It rang again and again. She hung it up.
It rang once more. This time she picked it up.
Ryanne:" Hell! Can't you give me some peace of mind!"
Caller:" You want peace of mind, right?"
She thought it was Ashton, but this voice wasn't his.
She checked the caller ID and... It was Alfred J. Essel.
What did she just do.
Before she could explain, he said
Alfred:" Peace of mind, so you have the audacity to hung up on me when I call you right?"
Ryanne:" I-"
Alfred hung up.
Ryanne tried calling him but it didn't go through.
She finally cause a wedge between she and her dad - the only person who didn't blame her for anything.
How is she supposed to survive in the J Mansion now?
. . .
Next day
Ryanne woke up after having a bad night. She checked her phone and it was 15 minutes to 9am.
She freshened up and rushed to Ashton's house. She was late by 10 minutes.
Ashton was leaning against his car waiting for her.
Ashton:" Ryanne, you're late."
Ryanne:" At least I came."
Ashton:" I've been waiting to give you a surprise."
It was a packet of candy.
Ashton:" You didn't look happy yesterday after I told you about the gala. I bought you this so you can cheer up."
Ryanne took the packet.
She smiled happily.
Ashton:" Let's get going."
They went to the park and acarde. Ashton wanted Ryanne to free of whatever was bothering her.
They had a really fun time.
