His Plate

as reply to Pete's vow on Christmas

It was different Pete told Ryan. It was really different but not for a good reason. 

They sort of chuckled together. Ryan was similar. When he came back down he reached out to some old friends. They weren’t doing much, or they were more judgemental towards him. Some even didn’t want to interact with him. They didn’t like what he was doing. 

He didn’t think too much about what he was doing he even thought his life was more noble then they made it out to be. Like he wasn’t stealing data. All of what he was doing was legal. It just he didn’t know. He really hadn’t thought about it like that. 

So some of Ryan’s friends were meet up with him just to tell him he was a bad person. Then that ended. So he had started going to the tea place. 

The tea guy was cool, they just spoke about tea really. Where it was from what kinds. They’d drink a lot too. Then they started to exchange tea too. He liked that. 

But nothing ever progressed he had guessed the tea guy was just a good sales man. Probably didn’t need another friend, had enough on his plate.
