“Sorry,” She had to tell him, still giving him a small squeeze on his arm. No matter how many times they talked about it, she always seemed to forget just how much some of their opinions differed, especially in the movies area. It was rare and far between that the two of them disagreed, but she always had to remember that they did actually disagree on things. “Maybe one day you’ll change my mind?”
After a year of being his friend, she was still getting used to the amount of stories he told her. He always seemed to find himself in the weirdest situations, and he never lacked a story to tell her about whatever thing they were talking about. Still, this one was weird enough to cause her to furrow her brows and look up at him for some sign that he was joking. “It sounds really weird,” She said with a chuckle, “If any birthday party tries to do that to the both of us, I’m going to vote that we throw a few pieces back.”
“I wasn’t wanting to see another movie or anything, I just–” She had to pause, thinking of what she wanted to say. Why did she want to stay out later? The two of them were never short on time together, despite that possibility looming in the air as football season draws closer. The two of them always had the option of sleepovers, movie nights, or nights out like they were just returning from, but even then she just wanted pure alone time with him. No possibility of Jake or Rachel walking in, no strangers eavesdropping, just the two of them. “I just don’t want to go back right now, and a walk in the park sounds pretty nice on a night like this.”
She tugged on his arm, directing him toward a path that lead around the small pond that was nearby. Plenty of privacy, places to sit and talk, and a pretty view; it was perfect. “I know one really quick side route, and if you’re not feeling it we can go right back to campus, no questions asked.”
“Probably not, but that’s okay because we can agree to disagree. I don’t actually know how agreeing to disagree works but my mom tells that to my dad sometimes.” Ryder acknowledged.
He always could count on Marley to laugh with him rather than at him. Yes there was and different and yes, Ryder knew the difference. “We could definitely do that, although it could start the first popcorn war. Well it’d probably start a revolution, there’s always revolutions before wars right?” Ryder asked, knowing that Marley pretty much always had the answers that had to do with learning. She was the smart one and he was well...he was Ryder.
She didn’t want to head back to reality yet and Ryder understood. Well he wasn’t quite sure if that was the reason why but he assumed it was something of the sort. The two always had fun and honestly, he hated when the nights ended. “That’s because it’s really beautiful out.” He added before looking up at the stars and pointing out a few random stars, to make it look like they made some important constellation. “Pretty sure that that one’s called Obi Wan.” He said with a shrug, hoping she’d get the reference.
“Marley,” He said with a smile, “I’m always feeling it as long as I get to be with you.” It was true, Ryder always truly had the best time around her. “Show me the way.”
