Ryle heard the final buzzer go off through the cheers of his peers and he ran to his coaches standing in the sidelines. As he passed his teammates everyone exchanged high fives, fist bumps, slaps on each others butts, etc. The final huddle of the game went quickly and the boys broke off into groups to get their girlfriends and go to a post game dinner. Ryle was in lead of his group and got to the group of their girlfriends first. "So ladies, where would you like to get dinner?" He wrapped his arm around Stars shoulders.
She smiled kissinng rule on the cheek "well my champion what do you want to eat?" She asked
He smiled down at her and looked up to the group for suggestions. "How about everyone throws out a restuarant or two and then we can decide on somewhere?". A few people threw out ideas including a wing place, a few burger restuarants and jaxon said something about a bar and every laughed. "What about that new diner that just opened last week?" Ryle suggested, a decent portion of the group responded with a nod or an excited "sure". "Is that alright with you little lady?" Ryle asked looking down at Star.
Star nodded wrapping her arms around herself shivering lightly
Ryle's eyebrows furrowed together. "What's wrong? Are you cold?"
"yeah" she nodded "I'll be fine" she said. Just then a breeze flew by making star shiver again she wrapped her arms around her arms tighter rubbing her arms up and down trying to warm herself it made sense for her to be cold since she was in a cheerleader uniform.
The captain of the basketball team walked by completely avoiding Ryle he asked "Star are you okay? Are you Cold?' do you want my jacket" he asked going to take his jacket off
"I've got her covered man, thanks though" Ryle says, ushering him on, as he was pulling his football hoodie out of his bag while Star was talking. He handed it to her, looked down at her bare legs and said, "I have sweatpants in here too if you want those as well."
She smiled placing a gentle kiss on his cheek " my hero" she said, before slipping the hoodie on
He smilled down at her and took her hand once she got the hoodie on and led her to his truck. He opened her door for her and helped her climb up into the truck, and stuck their bags in the back seat out of the way.
"Thank you" she said. Once he climbed in the truck she leaned over and kissed his cheek
He put his hand on the back of her head and pulled her down to kiss her on the mouth and shut the her door. He walked around the front of the truck and got in, started the car, and said "Pick whatever station you want. I also have a cord and you can hook your phone up to if youd prefer that."
" you just wanna hear me sing again" she teased poking his side
"Awe man, you got me." he said, putting his hands in the air in defeat. He pulled out of the parking lot and drove towards the resturant the group agreed on. "But seriously, pick something to listen to" He gave a light chuckle.
She giggled tuning the radio until it came in a twenty one Pilots song called Migraine
"So are you gonna sing or what?" he said, givng her a gentle nudge with his elbow. He took small glances at her as he drove, and practically stared at her when he was at stop lights.
She smiled " No I've been screaming for you for hours" she said
He rolled his eyes and clicked the radio power button. "Fine. We won't listen to music then" he gave a small, playful huff and looked straight ahead.
She crossed her arms and her left leg over her right leg and looked out the window revealing a small bruise on her neck
He chuckled and reached his hand across the center console and rested it on her leg. He glanced over at her just as they were pulling into the resturant parking lot and had to do a double take. He parked but didnt turn the car off. "Care to explain that or are we going to sit here in silence?"
She was silent for a few minutes" Damion pushed me down the bleachers" she said, Damion one of ryles friends and Rachel's boyfriend
"I sure hope you're telling the truth because it might get ugly." He went to turn of his car, paused for a second like he was going to say something, and then turned the car off and climbed out of his truck.
"Ryle!" She called after him getting out of the truck going after him
“what?” he whipped around faster than he meant to and nearly smacked Star as she came up behind him.
She took a step back lowering her head
"Well?" He shoved his hands in the pockets of his sweatpants.
