Meeting Me Halfway (HSMTMTS Fanfiction)

Chapter 70

Nini
I pop a French fry in my mouth as I thank Ricky for the food. It was much better than the hospital food and it made me much more motivated to eat.

"So," Ricky says with a smile, "what do you think we should do considering the fact that we have all of this time?"

"Go to school?" I say jokingly.

"I can bring in board games or something. I mean, it won't be that long. You seem perfectly fine."

"I don't know about that."

"What? Do you not feel well or something?"

"No, I'm fine. It's not that, I just feel like I shouldn't have woken up the way I did."

"What do you mean? You woke up and you're here."

"I don't know bubz. Just forget about it."

I continue to eat, making sure I don't spill anything while Ricky just zones out, hardly touching his food.

"What's going through your mind?" I ask.

"Hm?"

"You're clearly thinking about something."

"No," he chuckles, "I'm just making some plans on what we're going to do once we get out, except Y'know." His face sorta drops, "go to school."

"What's wrong with school?"

"Nothing. Nothing is wrong with school."

"Then why do you seem upset?"

"I'm not upset."

I raise a brow as he forces a smile.

"You aren't upset?" I ask.

"Nope. Not upset."

"Alright fine. I believe you."

I grab my phone and notice some messages.
