âi know i enjoy fighting, though i am still not entirely sure why,â ting says thoughtfully, mostly because sheâs still trying to piece together her own thoughts about it. as much as she thinks she could learn a lot if she stays, truly, she knows her heart isnât in it. sheâd risen to the occasion when sheâd had to, but that doesnât mean she ever wants to do it again. âdo you think so? i am quite graceful but i do not know if that means i have any sort of rhythm.â she grins when both of his hands are in hers, turning to walk backwards to pull him a little more to the center so she doesnât feel on display. âokay. what sort of dancing are you thinking?â
â âWELL, I DONâT THINK YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR EVERYTHING,â ricky offers, â sometimes you can just like things. explain it later if you want, or if it comes to you, but donât stress out about it. but i do think thereâs...more to a spy than just fighting. maybe you could get into mma, thatâd be hot. â heâs picturing it now ! something about ting staying at gallagher does sting, because he kind of made peace with the fact that they were both leaving : if she stays, sheâll make memories hear without him, continue on the journey that they sort of started together up on the rooftops. â i guess i can be the judge of that, â ricky shrugs, swaying slightly to the beat, â probably nothing too complicated then, though. do you know how to hit the woah ? âÂ

âa lot of things.â her friendships, her lack of direction otherwise, but as much as ting thinks sheâs considering returning, she knows deep down sheâs already made up her mind about leaving. itâs just scary being so uncertain about her life. âmostly the fact that i do not think i know anything about myself or what i want or about the world in general so maybe i should stick with something i am at least good at.â please ting was worried about the content of the honesty, not the honesty itself. âthat is intimidating,â she teases lightly, but also she kind of means it. âi do not really dance, but i figure if this is our last gala, i should step out of my comfort zone a little bit.â
â RICKY NODS HIS HEAD, knowing that ultimately this is a decision that ting has to make for herself and no one else can do that for her. â i guess that makes sense, though i donât think thereâs any point in doing things if you donât enjoy them, no matter how good at them you are. that just doesnât really sound like a fun way to live life, â ricky points out, because thatâs usually where his head is at â life is short, and it should be spend with people you love, doing things that you enjoy. â exactly. who knows ? maybe youâll discover that youâre an amazing dancer AND you enjoy it, â he adds, taking her other hand when they get closer to the dance floor. â i did those lessons on valentineâs day, but i totally forgot everything they said, so we gotta do our own thing. âÂ

âhave at it, i have nothing else i want to be better at.â even with a modified car, driving bores her. âbut iâm not following how the cowboy outfit came to be in the first place.â not that sheâll pretend to fully understand how rickyâs mind works. âhow are you feeling? about leaving, i mean.â
â âCOWBOYS AND SINNERS GO HAND AND HAND,â ricky argues. â like the devil went down to georgia or cowboys from hell. plus, country music probably plays on a loop down there, donât you think ? â he enjoys the stupid question over the serious one, so he takes his time answering it. â i donât know. pretty weird. all things considered, this year was an adventure. âÂ

âThat is a very good point!â She thinks to herself for a moment. âI never thought they would let one of the most famous pop stars into campus. Beyonce looks like an S&F major, do you not think so?â
â âEXACTLY, IF BEYONCE WAS A CIVILIAN, ITâD BE A HIGH SECURITY RISK...she probably knows all the ins and outs of this place as it is, knows the secret passageways like the back of her hand. â ricky nods, â she could s&f me any day. â whatever that means, good luck.Â

ââŚ.what can i say, it helps you donât say no to me.â she grins, squeezing him gently. âhow does it work then? please enlighten this poor blonde.â skylar joked softly, moving to face him. âback in my room, duh. want to come see it? i have something i want to give you anyway.âÂ
â âTRUE, YOU ALREADY KNOW YOUR POWER, youâre too dangerous, â he grins. â usually it takes less demanding. â bold of her to invite him back to his room after everything thatâs happened, but as already established...heâs a yes kinda guy, especially where a pretty girl is involved. â yeah, as long as itâs not long ! donât want to be absent for all of my final gala. âÂ

âFine, go be a German tourist, donât try to help anyone with directions or you might lead them straight into the Rhine.â Not a glamorous way to end up. Blonde easily took a hold of his wrist, tugging him over with her, âSo for your last night youâre going all out, right?â The best nights to remember sometimes became the ones you forgot. One curiosity lingered, âAre you happy you came here?â So many people leaving after just a year, what was the point?
â âIF SOMEONE ASKS ME FOR GUIDANCE, that kind of feels like their mistake, â he laughs sheepishly. doesnât bother to ask what the rhine is ! itâs better that way. still, he allows himself to be dragged around a little. â i donât know, i kind of want to remember all my goodbyes as best i can, i think i might...try and go sober for a bit, â he admits softly. itâs what his medication suggests, anyway, about time he followed it. â i think so. i...got the answers to a lot of questions i had, i think, but...donât tell my grandfather, â he laughs, because if he admits that this was the right decision, heâs going to get hit with a big fat âi told you so.âÂ

âwell, they could if i decide to come back next year, which i am considering. but i would find it quite hypocritical.â sutton had known all along, ting hadnât, and sheâd had no choice but to wonder if what had happened on that tape could happen to cecilia or carmichael. still, she feels a bit like sheâs received more grace than she deserves lately, both from ricky and martina, but she wonât question it. âdeciding to do what i did was a bit of a hard choice, but deciding to tell you about it was not. no matter how worried i was that you would be upset, i always want to be honest with you.â she holds her hand out to him, an unnecessary peace offering. âwill you dance with me?â
â âYOUâRE CONSIDERING COMING BACK?â RICKY ASKS, because last time they talked she had seemed pretty certain that she didnât want to, or at least like it was the best idea for her. â what changed your mind ? â he might throw a cupcake if itâs because of this carmichael guy, but what the hell. he nods his head at her, ricky would never be angry at someone for being honest with him â iâve said many times thatâs what he values most about people, perhaps after going through life in a house full of his fatherâs deceptions. and thatâs probably why this isnât the field for him, because heâs so up front about everything. â of course i will, â he says, taking her hand, â but i must warn you...my moves are fire. âÂ

âunfortunately, that goes against my very nature. you can upstage me in just about anything but fashion, i donât mind.â and while esther does think thereâs something genuinely nice about rickyâs outfit, itâs just like, objective fact that she looks better. âwhy exactly would there have been other cowboys, ricky?â
â âALRIGHT, FAIR ENOUGH. IâLL TAKE ALL OF THE OTHER THINGS, THEN,â he adds with a grin, agreeing to the compromise ! you cannot say heâs not agreeable ! ( he actually is quite agreeable, heâs just annoying first. ) â because, it was a good idea. people might think iâm cool and copy me. âÂ

            â hmm , that sounds very relatable , i donât judge her for that . oh , yeah ! small world , â  though she quickly realized it was just a coincidence because of their school and not some phenomenon .  â woow , you donât have my number ?? itâs like our time in dc meant nothing to you , â  she wiped away a faux tear before laughing at her joke ,  â iâm just kidding , â  she stated her number before taking her phone out as well ,  â text me so i can have yours too . â
â âWHAT? JUDGE HER FOR THAT!â RICKY SAYS, thereâs outrage but not a lot because itâs hard for him to take anything too seriously. â good, i got scared for a second there that you were gonna start crying, â ricky still doesnât know what to do when a girl cries, maybe start crying himself ? â okay ! â he texts her a random series of emojis, like the gavel, the explosion, the vampire, the nose, and of course, the eggplant. â thatâs me, â he says when her phone chimes.Â

ââŚwell, you couldnât even if you tried. you look great.â she plants a kiss right on his cheek, smiling brightly. âhow dare you, iâm like your favourite. i demand to be!â resting her head on his shoulder, skylar smiles happily. âyou know, weâre kinda matching today.âÂ
â âTWO CHEEK KISSES? yeah, i must be doing SOMETHING right, â he laughs, touching the spot where her lips just were a second time. â well, i donât think thatâs how being a favorite works exactly, but sure, you can have the spot...for now, stay vigilant...! â ricky glances at her, â oh, yeah ? whereâs your cowboy hat ? âÂ

âi am completely certain the administration already knows i was part of it, so i am not concerned about those sorts of consequences.â ting is more worried about the friendships she might lose. though the fact that he seems concerned about it makes her feel hopeful for a second, until he asks her if she told him now to avoid him getting angry, which kind of hurts her feelings. but she doesnât dwell on it because itâs not an unfair assumption to make. âno, i told you because i wanted you to know. that is all. and it felt cowardly to wait until we are no longer here together. i wanted to face the consequences of my actions in person.â
â âTRUEEEEEE,â RICKY DRAWS OUT THE WORD FOR A WHILE. â and what are they gonna do to you anyways ? expel you ? â he throws out his arms dramatically. it might be funny if they did, but also, itâs interesting how ting was so worried about the rules at the beginning of the year and now sheâs the biggest rebel of them all. he loves this for her. â i guess you could have never told me, but...i like knowing. not because i feel like you owe me, but because i want you to know you can talk to me about stuff. that must have been a hard decision. âÂ

estherâs nose wrinkles when he calls himself hot, because ew, but instead grasps on him daring to think he has more points. âiâll allow you to think youâve done it better than everyone else, but me? absolutely not.â sheâll die on this hill. she giggles when the girl ignores him, turning her attention back to him. ânever. itâs not in my nature.â
â âTHATâS NOT FAIR, I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO UPSTAGE YOU SOMETIMES...youâre always outdoing me, â ricky points out, though itâs light and teasing â heâs always making an impression, sure, but he absolutely thinks esther is the coolest sister. â well, i guess i canât dispute nature. i donât know what to do now. at least iâm the only cowboy. âÂ

âWith what, ordering beers?â It was basically the same word. Sheâd said that to Caden too when they were all leaving for Berlin. It didnât count! âMaybe, thatâs generousâŚâ Would she miss him? Was that sappy? âCome over to the bar with me.â There. An excuse while she tried to figure out how to say goodbye, something she never knew how to do.
â âWELL, YEAH, WHAT ELSE WOULD I NEED TO DO?â he grins at her cheekily, though he obviously knows there are other things he might have to do. like order a hamburger ! rickyâs not thinking too hard about the goodbyes because if he does, heâll freak. â donât have to ask me twice. âÂ

âi was part of the group of students who helped break the double agents out of their cell,â ting says to ricky instead of a simple hello when she finally finds him in the crowd. she says it matter-of-factly, as if itâs just a fun little tidbit, but sheâs mostly just trying to stay calm. one friend has already forgiven her, she doesnât know if sheâs lucky enough for it to happen twice. âi am sorry because i know they wronged you and your sister but i was scared for them. i just thought you should know so you can be rightfully upset with me if you wanted to be.â
â â?????????â ricky starts to say hello, but then he just meets her gaze with confusion because itâs a weird way to open a conversation. â are you supposed to be telling me this ? â he lowers his voice, â like, are you going to get in trouble if people hear you ? â ricky furrows his brow and shakes his head. how could he be mad at her if what she did was pretty pointless anyway ? they captured the double agents like, a day later. â did you tell me right here because you were scared i was gonna kick off ? because if i wanted to kick off, i would, it wouldnât matter that weâre at this fancy thing. âÂ

            â someone stole your phone ?? did you find out why ? please tell me they didnât try stealing your identity or anything . â  it must have been around the time she left â such bad timing .  â i did ! or not the one youâre holding but i designed it and stuff ! â  she grew amused by rickyâs handling of the phone , glad he won it as it would be perfect for him .
â âI DONâT REALLY KNOW WHY SHE DID IT. i think she was just kinda pissed at me and then forgot that she had it or something...regine, do you know her ? sheâs my sisterâs roommate, â she did not steal his identity. â thatâs so cool ! â his eyes light up, â wait, let me try it out. whatâs your number ? â

starter for @teflonsosâ / âthere you are.â skylar lets out, sneaking behind him and throwing both arms around his waist, âguess who! sheâs cute, sheâs funny and sheâs going to be totally pissed if you say the wrong name.â the blonde jokes, planting a kiss on rickyâs cheek.Â
â âI WASNâT HIDING,â HE LAUGHS, LEANING INTO HER EMBRACE. sheâs STRONGER than he is anyway. â see, you know iâm bad with names, so this isnât really FAIR. â he knows who it is.Â

â from my experience you should never half - arse a date . â seb warns in jest , a laugh following .  â but , i didnât come with one either so iâll be your date if youâre desperate , man. â
â âWHAT HAPPENED TO...ITâS THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS?â ricky asks, raising his eyebrows indicatively, a cheesy grin spreading across his features. â if youâd be my date, thereâs nothing desperate about it. iâd be the luckiest guy here...though, would that affect my chances with your mom ? âÂ
