"No! Sofia, wait!" Ryan hopped onto the Flygon, signaling it to fly after Sofia. Flygon sped past Sofia, landing in front of her. Ryan stared her down in the eyes, not looking away until he spoke his mind. "Look, I'm not exactly... gay. I'm bisexual. Yes, I still like girls, no I don't have a girlfriend. Yes, I have a boyfriend. Yes that was a heart. But it was simply Glacien trying to show off. It was completely unintentional. Do I think you're a great a girl? Hell yes! Will we work out? Probably not. I need you to listen, ok? This is a logic I've lived by for my whole life. And I think you need to think about it too. What is the point in loving someone who isn't going to love you back. It just leads to heartbreak. I still want us to be friends, ok? I really appreciate that you like me, but I can't do that to my boyfriend. You're gorgeous, Sofia. You deserve more than a person like me anyway. And I am so sorry I lead you on. Just please, talk to me. I don't want this to be the last time I ever see you." Ryan sighed, another tear coming down his face. "Please."
