The boy in the phone

chapter 8 "the knock"

chapter 8 "the knock"

Jul 18, 2022

The boys are taken by surprise by this because they were not expecting anyone around at this time, they stare at each other as if they were waiting for the other to say something, there comes another knock, this one louder than the previous but this time a loud shout follows “hello is there anyone in there” Ryan jumps up and heads straight to the door. He opens the door with his guard up. Stood at the other side is none other than the delivery man with the new bed. Ryan feels embarrassed but where he opened the door and greeted the man he quickly apologizes I don't helps the man leave the bed and a mattress in the sitting room. he shows the man out of the house dead heads back to the kitchen to finish eating his food. he sees that Kevin has touched barely anything on his plate.

Ryan is concerned by this because it's not like Kevin to not eat, he can't help but wonder that maybe the thing with Brian not ringing him is playing a factor into it, “not eaten anything yet Kev? Is everything alright it's not like you” Kevin doesn’t reply he’s just playing with his fork through the food while in a world of his own, Ryan gently taps the table in front of him to grab his attention, “oh shit sorry Ryan, don’t worry about me you’ve got enough of your own shit to be worrying about without putting my problems onto you”. Ryan looks at Kevin and sees that he needs to talk about a lot but he doesn't know how to approach the situation without causing any more trouble for Kevin. 

He decides to try it and just bite the bullet, "Kev look i know you've been saying that things are great between you and brian recently, but you really just haven't seemed yourself over the last few days and to be honest i really am worried about you, like i know it's not my place but, Brian hasn't really been bothered coming round to see you anymore and you just aren't yourself". Kevin looks up at Ryan, he doesn't know whether to just agree and talk or just act like everything is fine, "i'll be fine for now Ryan honestly things will sort themselves out and whatever happens is meant to be". Although Ryan can tell that something is up he decides not to push anymore, Kevin knows that he's there for him and that what matters the most.

Ryan picks the delf up off of the table once they are done, he leaves Kevins plate in the microwave so that its there for when he is hungry, "right Kev c'mon and help me get me shit ready for the training day tomorrow" Kev gets up and is actually excited to help out with it because he wants Ryan have a great day and maybe meet an amazing person, after all he deserves someone who will give him the whole world and more. They both go up to their bedroom and start to get stuff in order. Ryan gets out the package that his clothes came in, he folded them and put them on the locker for the morning, put his power bank on charge and left out his bank card so that he wouldn't forget it in the morning. "Kev i'm just going to jump in the shower if you want to use the bathroom", Kev thinks for a moment "nah im grand Ryan gwan a head"

Ryan heads to the bathroom and turns the shower on to run and heat up, he sits on the toilet seat lid while he waits, he gets lost in thought, "what if i do go tomorrow and meet someone, what the hell do i say, what if i just stall and cant say anything or what if i just dont stop talking and dont let him get a word in edge ways, or what if i just compleatly fluke it and actually meet someone amazing" a hundred and one diffrent sinearios are running through his head and he just wants to put it behind him, he gets up and the bathroom is full of steam, the shower glass is full of condinsation he draws a heart with an arrow through with his hand, he gets in and washes him self, he gets to his hair and instead of using the usual shower gell to wash it he gets some of his mams shampoo to try make his hair look nicer as he is lathering his hair he tries to style it a couple of diffrent ways in the shower before eventually just washing it out and deciding that he would just blow dry it when he gets out and try give it some sort of style, once he gets out he drys it and his hair looks big and fluffy, this is something he likes his hair looking like that.

he gets dressed into his pyjamas and goes back to the bedroom where he finds Kevin watching some try not to laugh video on youtube, he looks over at Ryan "got to say that hair looks mad, actually looks kind of cute not gunna lie" pipes Kevin, Ryan smiles "do you really think that if by any chance there is any gay lads at the training day that i would have any chance with them". "of fucking cource Ryan at the end of the day you are an absoulute catch and you're an amazing person, just be your self and someone will like  you for who you are" Ryan chuckles

The boys head to sleep so that they can be up and ready for the early start the following day. Ryan is laying in bed; he can't sleep because of both excitement and nervousness, both heavily involved with not sleeping. eventually he puts his phone on charge and nods off to sleep. he's whisked off into his dreams, he's sitting down in a field in front of him is a picnic blanket and a lot of food and to him side is a boy, he can't look up to see his face or what he looks like, he just know that he's there, he snuggles into him and slowly falls asleep on his lap. He wakes up he looks at his phone and checks the time, its 6:00 am, He woke up just in time, he gets ready and dressed into his cloths, his crisp plaid pants, light sandy shirt and the snow white T-shirt and puts on the white runners that Kev had borrowed, once he was ready he went down stairs and got breakfast, he had the usual cup of coffee and toast, he grabbed his bag, his bank card and his power bank and headed downtown to the bus stop, he met up with Siobhan and Ms. Coates they go into the little shop at the bus stop and they get a coffee each for the journey. Once they are finished they all go back outside and wait for the bus, for once the bus actually arrived on time, this isn't something that happens a lot, the bus is normally  extremely late people eventually just got used to it.

they get onto the bus and find there seats that were reserved for them, once they sit down they decide to just chill for the journey, Ms. Coates read a book on her tablet, siobhan was watching something on her phone with her head phones in, Ryan was reading something on his phone, it was an internet artical on how to identify a gay person in a crowd, he read a couple of diffrent articals but got no use of any of them so he just went on you tube and watched some videos to try pass some time, between texting Kevin and watching youtube he decided to ask where abouts they were, "hey Ms where abouts are we now?" he questions, Ms. Coates looks up at one os the signs on the side of the motorway to see what it says, "looks like were just going through GreyStones now Ryan, should only be about 45 minutes till we arrive at our stop" Ryan thanks her and goes back to his youtube video, he watches a couple more after because he knows it's the quickest way to pass the time without him realizing how long it is taking.

they finally get to there stop, its outside of a big fancy hotel near the docks in Dublin, they look at the time it's 9:30 they have 30 minutes to get to the building for the training day, it's about a 20 minute walk but it leaves them plenty of time to get to the building and it leaves time if they get lost so they will still arrive on time,  once they get there they go through the security and get there passes, most of the other schools are already there, there's loads of food they can have for breakfast, there's croissants, scones, sandwiches. Ryans particularly intrigued by the labels "vegan water" he thinks to himself how on earth could water not be Vegan but he had some any way and also had a glass or two of the apple juice, it was the nicest sweetest apple juice he's ever had, once they all finish up they  go into the student conference room where they are introduced to the training team, once all the introductions are done all the teachers do to there own training area, and the students got broke up into little teams, Ryan and Siobhan get seperated, Ryans gets really anxious to meet his team, once he sits down at the table he locks eyes with a boy at the table and Ryan instantly falls head over heels for him, he's short with light brown hair and the deepest blue eyes, Ryan finds himself just staring into then for a minute before he shakes himself out of it.

They all sit down at the table and start to introduce themselves. It gets around to Ryan he starts "hey my name is Ryan im from a school called Slaney Cove Secondary school down in wexford i'm a transition year student and im 17" once he's done the all welcome him with a quick hey. The next few people take their turn but Ryan just zones out of it until it comes round to that boy's turn and Ryan turns his full attention to him and what he is about to say. "hi my name is Toby i'm originally from america i moved over here recently. i go to a school called Bay Street secondary school here in dublin and im a 17 year old transition year student", again once he finishes they all welcome him to the group. they get partnered up for some ice breaker activities Toby comes over to Ryan and asked if he'd like to be his partner in the activities, "hey Ryan wanna be with me for the ice breakers" Ryan looks up and can't believe his luck, "of course i'd like to….. sorry that came off odd" they both chuckle "don't worry about it dude you're ok, i like your fit" Ryan blushes  looks down at his feet and replies "aww thank you!"
