Bad Boy Fell Hard by Mushabe Melisa (all ebook reader txt) 📖

"Do you want us killed?" I snap at this idiot next to me. Ryder and I are now walking through this jungle all alone with no phone service or even wifi, and we are still searching for help.

Ryder brought a jar of honey in his backpack. He wanted us to live a little and have a memorable time.

"As I said before, live a little." He says smugly while waving the jar around looking for a bear.

"I don't think we shall remember this moment." I say while looking around, feeling a little scared.

"Why's that?" he asks, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Because we shall be dead.... We shall not live to see the next day, asshole." I say in exasperation.

"Bears don't eat humans, they are herbivorous." He shrugs while looking around for any sign of a bear.

"You're such a dumb ass." I hear a growl from beside me; I don't think that's Ryder because that was deep and kinda loud.

Ryder covers my mouth from behind as he turns me around to my left. I come face to face with a large grizzly bear, and it doesn't look that happy. I tense and push myself against him. Shouldn't these animals be in there hibernation or something?

"Take slow steps behind and once we are a distance away, we can run for our lives." Ryder whispers, shushing me. His arms tighten around me, and he pulls me back, a step at a time.

The bear was walking towards us, and it was definitely not focused on us but the honey in Ryder's hand. The idiot is still holding the jar of honey.

I remove his hand from my mouth and whisper, "Throw the jar!!!" the bear is giant with matted fur. I have heard that such bears run very fast because of the bulky movements they make.

"How about we run and it follows us?" he grins. The fuckin idiot is smiling in such a situation. I am freakin' out, and he is trying to be funny.

I remove the jar from his hand forcefully and throw it where the bear is. I pull Ryder, who is still watching the bear, and take massive steps behind me. I don't want us to be the bear's next meal after he or she is finished with his meal. after we have reached a long distance away from the bear, we run for our lives.

I stop to catch my breath. All this running and frightening has exhausted me.

"Oh come on princess! You can't be that tired, we haven't even ran a mile." Ryder says while looking at me with amusement. I forgot he is a muscular and a sporty guy, and I'm just a girl.

"You!' I point at him as I walk towards him. "it's all your fault." I say while hitting his chest repeatedly, but it's not harming him, making even more tired and angry.

"Woah Woah there princess, what's wrong?" he asks while looking at me with a concerned look.

"It's all your fault I was almost being eaten by a bear, I haven't even got to do many things." I say, feeling exhausted and angry at him.

"Things like?" he asks with a raised brow, not even getting what I had said before. I roll my eyes at him for his excellent listening skills.

"Well for starters, I haven't gone parachuting. I haven't ridden a hot air balloon, I haven't gone ice skating and I haven't ridden a bicycle-"

"What!?!" he cuts me off and looks at me incredulously. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the bicycle part. Like seriously, I have always wanted to learn, but I'm scared I might fall. I mean, how does the thing stay up without falling. I can't risk my legs and bones breaking.

"Ryder and Nora come in! Over." I hear Aiden's voice from the walkie talkie. I sigh and feel like hugging the guy once I see him.

Phew! Thank God, I didn't want Ryder making fun of me for never learning how to ride a bike.

I press the button and speak through the walkie talkie, "I hear you, what's up?" I ask. There is no response, and I say again, and still no response. Maybe there is something wrong with this machine. I look at Ryder, and he rolls his eyes and removes the thing from my hand.

"Hey man, what's up?........ Over." Ryder says through the walkie talkie.

"Finally someone who knows how to use this thing." Aiden says, and I roll my eyes at his stupid excuse, just because I didn't say 'Over.' What an asshole.

"So Pat and Cornelius got a car to rent where you can all fit. We are all heading back to the cabin. We shall meet you there.. over." He continues.

"Will you ever forget this weekend?" Ryder asks me.

"Oh.. I don't think I'll forget Ryder Dawson wanted me killed." I say while walking to the direction of the cabin. It's very far from here since Ryder and I ran a long distance to escape the bear and not forgetting the journey we made before we met the bear.

"You're welcome." He says with a smirk while making a dramatic bow, and I chuckle at that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

"hey, what's up?" Ryder asks as he jogs up to me.

After an eventful weekend at the cabin house, we had to leave in a rented car. Theo, Aiden, and Cornelius reported the case to the police station; we had to travel in a rented car with very many mechanical issues. The ride was so uncomfortable, but we all arrived at our homes safely.

Today is a Monday, the worst day of the week, and sadly, I had to go to school. If only the weekend had eight more days.

I look up to act dramatic, "The sun, the skies and –"

"Don't!" he cuts me off with amusement in his voice. I look around, and people have shocked looks on their faces, some with jealousy, and some are confused. This is probably because I'm with Ryder. I don't blame the confused ones, though we did come from being enemies and prank warists, and now we are all buddy.

Something you don't see every day.

I choose to ignore people's judgemental looks and head to the main school entrance. Ryder decides to make the situation even more dramatic by wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

He bends his head and whispers, "Haters gonna hate as long as I have my girl."
