"SO LOOK WHO SEEMS A LITTLE BIT HAPPY TODAY. IM GUESSING THINGS ARE GOING GOOD WITH YOU AND RYDER?" Donna questioned later on that day at work
"Things are going really good" anita mumbled smiling and Donna listened in
"He's taking me out this Saturday" she said, not realising who had just walked past. Cleo walked past in a big jacket and jeans making her unrecognisable as she listened into their conversation
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know yet. He gave a few suggestions but i don't know which one he'll pick. I'm really exited"
"You should be Anita. You deserve this" Pavio said from the kitchen and she smiled
"Thank you, so much guys, I love all of you"
"We love you too dear"

WAKING UP AT 5AM ANITA GOT TO WORK ON CLEANING THE HOUSE. CLEO AND DESTINY WENT OFF TO SCHOOL LATER THAT MORNING WHILST PRISM went godknows where which left anita off school and on her own
There was a lot of things to do so she barely stopped until she heard a knock at her door. Thinking it was prism coming home she walked over to the front door and opened but was surprised to see ryder stood there
"Ryder? Why aren't you at school?"
"Why aren't you?" he countered, walking inside when she opened the door a little wider
"Well I'm not at school to clean, what's your excuse?"
"To help you" he replied and she shook her head
"No you're not. You have school and there's no way your helping me do chores for a house that's not your own"
"This isn't your house either remember?" He questioned
"I'm not letting you help me"
"Well honestly, with the list they gave you I thought this house would be a bomb of a mess. But it looks pretty clean to me"
"That's because it's things like: clean out dryer tube thing, wash the inside of a washing machine, clean the pool, that one takes forever"
"Gosh she's insane. And she doesn't hire someone to do all of that?"
"That's what I'm here for apparently" letting out a small sigh of sympathy ryder walked forward and placed his hands on either side of her cheeks
"I'm going to help you. Because I want to, my mom already gave me the all clear to stay of school today. She hated prism that time we had dinner here but she's fond of you. She wants me here to help you too"
"Really?"
"Yes. When I told her you was Cinderella I've never seen her so happy. She absolutely loves you, more than me I think" she let out a giggle putting her head on his chest for a second before moving away
"If you want to stop, if you can't be bothered anymore you can. I can continue this on my own" he leaned down, his lips brushing against her before fully connecting them. Her eyes fluttered shut as she felt his soft lips on hers, savouring the moment until they both pulled away
"Come on, let's get onto this" they both grabbed different pieces of cleaning equipment and started in the living room
"So this is your house" ryder said once they finally finished and made their into where anita usually stays
"It's cleaner than I would've imagined" she let off a small laugh and nodded, going and sitting on the couch where ryder then took the spot beside her
"Did you just expect my house to be a pigsty?" Ryder laughed
"Yes actually" smiling anita laid back on the couch, her head resting on Ryders shoulder
"A guitar" he stated spotting one, he reached over slightly and picked it up, putting it over him and playing a few strings, a few of them sounding out of tune
"I think you need a new one" he stated and she smiled
"Yeah, i know" he started tightening and tuning the strings and then played a few notes
"Are you writing a new song?"
"Yeah. You wanna help me with the harmony?"
"Uh- no- I-"
"I think you wanna help me with the harmony" she sighed in defeat giving in and Ryder pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to her
"This is as far as I got with the lyrics. Just start right there, you ready"
"Mh-hm" she hummed and he started played a few notes
Ryder: "It's become so hard"
Both: "for me to be surprised
But you're bringing back the real me
No judgement in your eyes" anita lifted her head slightly off his shoulder, her eyes meeting Ryders as she sung so she quickly looked back down
"It's the way you make me feel
Like I'm finally something real"
"You know, I stopped singing for a while, and the competition was for me to try and remeber why I started singing in the first place. Singing with you, I'm starting to remember" she smiled and closed her eyes, lacing her hand with his whilst he lightly carresed the side of her face

THAT SATURDAY NIGHT ANITA SNUCK OUT OF HER HOUSE, THANKFULLY NOT NEEDING TO DO SO MUCH, and got into Ryders car
"Wow, Anita you look..."
"You don't like it? I should've known. I-" he took her hand in his, a smile on his face
"You look beautiful" he leaned over, pressing his lips to her in the smallest of kisses before pulling away and driving away from the house
"So what are we doing?"
—
When they both pulled up to an arcade a large smile grew on Anita's face
"Did I make the right choice?" He questioned and she nodded already jumping out the car. Ryder laughed following after her and the pair of them made their way inside the building
The first place they went to was a basketball game
"I'm actually amazing at basketball" anita said picking getting ready to play beside Ryder
"So if you lose i don't want to hear you crying" ryder let out a laugh and nodded
"We'll see baby, we'll see" turning away from his with a flush covering her cheeks, anita picked up the first basketball as the machine counter. As soon as the game started she was throwing the balls in the baskets quickly, using one hand to pick them up and the other to shoot. She could see she was about 3 points in front of him but at the last 10 seconds she lost control of one of the balls and dropped it
"No!" She squealed picking up another 3 throwing them one after the other and then the game ended
"Player 1 wins!" Anita laughed and cheered when it announced the winner and Ryder playfully glared at her, laughing when she pulled him into a hug
They seperated and she grabbed his hand lead him over to another machine in the arcade
"Do you know how to shoot a gun?"
"No.. but I am a fast learner" nodding he got in one of them and she got on the other and started the game
—
"Which one do you want?" Ryder questioned once they got to the claw machine. She thought for a moment and her eyes spotted a hand size Olaf teddy
"Olaf" she said and he nodded
"The snowman? I can do that" he nodded and she let out a laugh
"Especially when you put so much pressure on me"
"I'm sorry!" She laughed and he chuckled moving the handle, the claw moved to where he wanted and he reached down, picking up the exact one she wanted
"Oh my gosh" he muttered as he carefully tried to bring it back without dropping it and when it finally came through he cheered as she laughed and put her arms around him
"I love it" she whispered as he placed it in her hands and looked back up to him
"Come on" he smiled as he lead her over to the motorbike machine
"Oh my gosh ive never done this before" she mumbled as she got on one, placing Olaf in front of her
"I used to use my uncles motorbike when I stayed over on holidays, so I think I'll be fine"
"Show off" Anita mumbled making him laugh and the game counted down
As soon as the game started, Ayla had already crashed into a wall
"No" she mumbled straightening out. She hadn't got too far before she crashed again
"This game is a cheat"
—
"1st place" ryder smiled getting off his bike. He moved over to anita and helped her off
"I was 12th" she mumbled defeated
"That's not too bad"
"It was out of 12" at that ryder couldn't hold in his laughter. They started to head home for the night as it was past 12 and the arcade would be closing in any minute
And once anita got to her house she looked out of Ryders car seeing the lights all off. He got out and she watched confused as he walked around and opened the door for him, smiling when he held his hand out. She undid her seatbelt and took his hand with a smile before they both walked over to her house
"Ryder. I had such a great time" she whispered as they got outside Anita's front door
"I did too" he said back, his hand interlacing with her free one whilst the other one was nervously holding her Olaf teddy
"You mean a lot to me" One of his hands reached up and tucked her hair behind her ear, his hand still resting on the side of her neck
He stared at her, his eyes taking in every part of his face before he met her eyes, and it was like she knew what he was asking
She nodded and he didn't waste any time before his lips finally locked with hers. Her arms moved up to weak around his neck and he used one of his to bring her closer by her waist
"I want you to be my girlfriend" he whispered as he pulled away from her for a split second
"I want to be your girlfriend" she whispered, but then her eyes casted to the floor
"But I don't want you to get meddled into my life-"
"Anita" he said cutting her off
"I want to be with you. And if you and your stepmom and sisters are apart of that, then i don't care"
"But-"
"No buts" she nodded, excepting his answer, accepting the fact he likes her
"If you want to be with me, then be with me"
"I want to be with you" she said and he looked at her questionably. Smiling she nodded confirming
"I really want to"
"Good. Because I can't get you out of my head" just as they went to kiss Ryders phone let off a small sound
"I have to go" he said and she nodded
"Good night" he whispered bringing his lips down to hers one last time
"Good night" she replied and they seperated. She opened her door and smiled once more before she shut it and got ready for bed
"Things are going really good" anita mumbled smiling and Donna listened in
"He's taking me out this Saturday" she said, not realising who had just walked past. Cleo walked past in a big jacket and jeans making her unrecognisable as she listened into their conversation
