How does he feels? There’s a lot of mean stuff she said about him in there. Ryan lifted up his face and looked at her. It struck her heart,

8. Emily could feel hot blood swarmed around her face. “What do
you mean by that?”
He laughed to the sky. “I like that about you. Your face easily
burned red.” He told her calmly as he grabbed his bag and took out
something from it. “Here” He handed something at her.
Emily looked at it. It was an ice cream. She rolled her eyes. “Who
do you think I am? A kid? You cannot buy me with ice cream.”
“You are a kid. Go on.” Ryan said. “After all these years, you
always said that when I give you this but you take it anyway.”
She bit her lips. The problem was, she couldn’t resist ice cream
and Ryan always been so insisting. So she took it and unwrap it. “You
always buy this flavor.”
“It’s your favorite.” He said as he eats his ice cream; the same
flavor as hers – Lime on outside and vanilla on the inside.
Emily crooked her eyebrows. “When did I tell you that this is my
favorite? I never taste this before. It was you who introduce this to me.”
“Well, by now this should be your favorite.” Ryan said. “Right?”
She looked at him with disbelief. But it was quite true. She began
to like that ice cream.
So that night, the both of them just sat on the swing, eating ice
cream and said nothing. The surrounding was so quite, until they could hear
the sound of the dead leaves singing as the winds blew them and small drop
of rain.
That was the perfect time for the rain to come. And oh, she didn’t
get her diary back, and her notebook.
