The candy cane idea worked just as planned.
Even better, we got them during history, which I had with Dico.
When I got one and he didnt, Dico instantly got paranoid.
"Who's that from??"
I picked it up and read the card attached, even though I already knew what it said. "'Thanks for being such a great friend, Love, Ryan' Thats so sweet." I smiled at Dico and he grabbed the candy cane from me, reading for himself.
"... Hm..." He set it back down, and didn't look very happy.
Perfect.
~+~+~+~
After finding out that Raab got one too, Dico started to assume Ryan was mad at him, and secrets starting pouring out, now I just had to wait for one we could use.
"Why would he send you guys candy canes and not me?" He asked at lunch, when Ryan was nowhere to be seen.
"Maybe He forgot about you." Raab suggested.
"Yeah he has been acting kinda weird recently," I spoke up. "Is something bothering him?"
"Well his parents totally don't sleep in the same bed anymore, if thats what you mean." Dico then gasped and looked at us. "Don't tell him I told you that!"
"Dont worry, I won't"
Dico nodded and stared at his food for a few moments, then looked directly at me.
"I mean, why would he send you one? He doesn't even like you that much."
I couldn't think of anything to say to that, but it didn't matter, he went right on talking.
"Maybe he feels weird around me because I'm the only one that knows about his nose job." After realizing what he said he added. "Oh my god, pretend you didn't hear that."
That was the end of the conversation, because Ryan then joined us, sitting in his normal spot, next to Dico and across from Raab.
Dico turned to Ryan, started to say something but got cut off.
"Dico switch spots with Ville."
At the mention of my name, I looked up, but chose not to say anything, wanting to see how this would play out.
"... What? I'm always on your left."
"Well I feel the need for change."
"But... I'm always on your left..."
"And right now your getting on my last nerve, switch!"
Dico stared at Ryan for a few seconds before standing up, and I did the same, taking his spot.
"There, now doesn't this feel nice and new?" Ryan asked.
"Well maybe if I swi--"
"Dico! I like it the way it is now, will you please just shut up!?"
And he did just that, for the rest of lunch he stared at his food and didn't say a word.
I could tell just by looking at him.
Brandon Dicamillo had cracked.
