He didn’t say anything else than that, and he promised in his heart not to bring up this discussion again, he wanted to respect Ryan’s decision.
“I know you’re suggesting this to me ’cause you have my best interest at heart. But I hope you can try to understand why I don’t want to do it”. Ryan said to Dylan again.
“I understand”. Dylan stated.
“Let’s leave this place, we would have walked out of this compound by now if not for those boys that halted our movement”.
The both of them resumed walking out of the school compound after Ryan made that utterance. And as they were walking out, Ryan was glancing at Dylan without his knowledge.
He wasn’t only glancing at him, his mind was a little busy as well…
Dylan had done something else a true friend would do, he just scared off those bullies. Ryan didn’t plan on wasting time anymore, he wanted to confirm if Dylan’s friendship was truly genuine.
He wanted to know what was truly in his heart, if his actions weren’t a facade. And how does he plan on confirming this? With the help of the system.
Yes, he knew the system would be able to help him out with something like this. So he planned on calling out on the system right now, but he knew he wouldn’t be able to do so orally ’cause Dylan was close to him.
So he decided to call out on her from the mind and see if it would work out.
‘System’.
He called out on her from the mind, and it worked out. The system responded immediately,
[Yes, host]
Ryan’s heart gladdened hearing the system’s response, then he uttered in his mind once again,
‘I want to confirm something ’cause I don’t want a repeat of what happened in the past. I want to know what is truly in the heart of this boy named, Dylan. I want to know if his friendship is genuine, I need you to reveal this to me’.
[Scrutinizing Dylan’s heart…]
[10% 20% 30% 40%…]
[70% 80% 90% 100%]
[Scrutinization completed]
[Ding!]
[Dylan’s friendship is genuine]
[You have nothing to fear host]
Seeing this notification made Ryan’s heart really glad, so Dylan’s friendship was genuine after all. He would have been so disappointed if the system revealed to him that his friendship wasn’t genuine after the scrutinization.
As the scrutinization was taking place, he was hoping in his heart that Dylan’s friendship would be genuine, and it was…
They became friends today, and Dylan had already done a lot for him, like defending him and even ready to fight for him. He was the kind of friend Ryan needed.
Now that he’d confirmed his friendship was genuine, he would accept him wholeheartedly as his friend. He was already developing a kind of liking for him that a person would develop for his friend.
Now that he’d confirmed his friendship was genuine, that liking would fully develop.
‘Thanks for the revelation’. Ryan uttered to the system from his mind once again.
..Yes, he just had to thank her for revealing this to him, it was huge.
Ryan moved closer to Dylan as they were still walking out of the school compound and placed his left arm across his shoulders, and a wide smile was plastered on his face.
“My good friend”. Those were the words that flowed out of Ryan’s mouth after placing one of his arms across Dylan’s shoulders.
Dylan glanced at him with a kind of perplexed facial expression the moment he did that, but he didn’t say anything.
It remained that way, Ryan didn’t take his arm off Dylan’s shoulders as they kept walking out of the school compound, and that smile was still plastered on his face.
Dylan wasn’t glancing at him anymore with that perplexed facial expression, he’d faced front by now.
There were a few gazes on them as they were walking out of the school compound, but they didn’t care. They noticed it, but they didn’t make an attempt to glance at those staring at them.
And it went on like that until they walked out of the school compound completely. Ryan’s left arm was still placed across Dylan’s shoulders.
“You’re the son of Warren, wouldn’t anyone be coming to pick you up with a horse? Like a guard or something”. Dylan said to Ryan not too long after they walked out of the school compound.
This statement didn’t scare Ryan or make him start doubting Dylan’s friendship in any way ’cause he’d already confirmed from the system his friendship was genuine.
The statement he made now was related to the statement he made which led to Ryan having to confirm the genuineness of his friendship.
“No, no guard would be coming to pick me up today ’cause I instructed the one that was supposed to do so not to”. Ryan stated.
“Why?”. Dylan inquired.
“That’s because I feel like trekking home today. Apart from that, now that I have you as a friend, I feel I wouldn’t need to be getting picked up by a guard that much ’cause I want the both of us to be heading home together just as we are doing now”. Ryan responded.
Dylan nodded his head a little as a bit of smile appeared on his face, then his voice resounded,
“That’s very thoughtful of you”.
Ryan’s left arm was still placed across Dylan’s shoulders, but after Dylan made that utterance, he took his arm off his shoulders.
He didn’t take it off ’cause he didn’t like Dylan’s utterance or something, he took it off ’cause he felt like doing so…his arm had been across his shoulders for minutes, that was enough.
The both of them kept walking, and they weren’t the only ones walking on the road, other students were doing so as well. This was expected ’cause they weren’t the only ones trekking.
As known, not everyone comes from a rich family and gets to be enjoying the privilege of being ridden home by someone. Some have to trek to and fro everyday.
Dylan and Ryan were still walking when Ryan began thinking about Sofia all of a sudden. Of course, he was thinking about her and the sex they were supposed to have today.
He was hoping everything would work out as planned…he wanted to have a taste of her pussy again just as Sofia wanted to have a taste of his dick again.
He was still thinking about her and the sex they were supposed to have when Dylan’s voice resounded, cutting short the thought running through his mind.
Hearing Dylan’s voice brought him back to reality. Dylan asked him a particular question which he gave answer to, then he asked Dylan a question which he gave answer to.
And from there, they began conversing again while still walking. They’d been walking for minutes now, and it had gotten to the time for them to part ways.
As known, their homes weren’t situated in the same community, so they were going to part ways at some point which they were about to do…
“We’d meet at school tomorrow”. That was the last thing Dylan said to Ryan before they parted ways.
Dylan cornered a certain intersection, while Ryan kept walking straight. Now that they’d parted ways, Ryan thought to himself,
‘It’s about time to head toward the Ackland inn’.
And that’s exactly what he began doing, he began heading toward the Ackland inn. And as he was heading toward the inn, some thoughts were running through his mind here and there.
He was wondering if Sofia had arrived at the inn or not. And he was hoping she’d have arrived at the inn, and if she hadn’t yet, then he was hoping she’d do so before he arrives at the inn.
He wanted to reach there and get down to business with her immediately. He wasn’t heading toward the inn to wait for someone, he was heading there to fuck someone.
So he didn’t want a situation where he’d arrive there and start waiting for her.
He kept walking until he arrived at the Ackland inn, he was standing some meters away from it right now. And he could see people trooping into it.
As said, the Ackland inn happens to be one of the well-known inns in this kingdom, so it wasn’t a surprise to see people trooping into it, it was popular and convenient.
Lots of people would definitely love to patronize a place that was popular and convenient. Now, standing some meters away from the Ackland inn and glancing at it, Ryan knew he needed to be careful.
People in the inn shouldn’t recognize him, yes, he needed to make sure of it. This was something he’d thought of before.
..Who knows, maybe nothing might happen even if people recognize him inside the inn, but he didn’t want to take the risk.
