Riley pulled out a notebook from her messenger bag that was sitting in the seat next to her on the train. She quickly pulled a pen out of one of the compartments and opened the book. A look up told her she was at 125th street. Still a while to go. She began to write…
You know, as a senior in high school, I really don't think life can get much better. For once…life isn't complicated. My best friend and I have no drama, our "clique" has no drama, no one, well as far as I know, hates me. So God Bless America. Right? My classes are good for the most part, I still suck in Math though. Ms.DeLeon is such a blessing I don't know what I would do without her. Ms. Jameson either. Mr. Santiago….I could do without, who am I kidding? I couldn't, he is forever going to be a part of my high school memory.
As far as John goes, I spoke to him the week before last. We don't talk as much anymore, and yea I guess I do feel like I lost my best friend when he signed that contract with the WWE. But what can I do? I don't exactly like his girl either. I was his only best friend for so long…Maybe I'm just delusional. You know? Like he's get a whole different life now….He's got Jenny, and he's got a MALE best friend Randy. Randy. He's cute, but I don't know. Like he's two-faced. One minute he's the sweetest freaking thing to me, the next god help my soul.
An 18 year old chic from the Bronx? I think right now I better just concentrate on school, college, and getting my grades to where they should be. But who am I kidding? Drama hasn't been in my life for almost 2 months now…there's gotta be some on the way, life isn't that good to me.
After school
"Riley were you actually paying attention today?" Ms.Jameson asked as Riley threw herself on what most students called "the big comfy couch"
"Yes…Don't I always?" Riley asked glancing at one of her favorite teachers as she stretched her feet out in front of her. She was in Youth Ministry. It sounds like a totally religious place but it really wasn't. One of the Religion teachers, Ms. DeLeon, was totally cool, and a good number of her students drifted to her office after school ended, which for the seniors was at 2 pm.
"Well, you always look like you're in your own world, but you take notes…." The math teacher responded. Riley grinned at her teacher, who was Ms.De's old student, who had come back to teach at the school.
"No worries Ms.Jameson. Right after midterms I'll start slacking again"
"I DIDN'T MEAN THAT"
"Ms.Jameson why are we screaming? And if its at Ms.Smith can I join in?" The Shakespeare teacher, Mr. Santiago or Idiot as Riley like to call him walked in.
"Because I'm frustrating her, and no you cant thank you very much" Riley responded to him glancing up
"When don't you frustrate people Ms. Smith?" Mr. Santiago responded
"When I'm doing your evil bidding for you" She quickly responded, and he shrugged his shoulders in response
"Riley! Can you pass me that paper next to you?" Ms.De asked, "Oh and Mr. Santiago what have I told you about instigating with Riley, you know she fights back" she continued
"What can she do to me? She's a student! Anyway, where's your other half? I need to ask her something." he replied, then glanced at Riley, who was about to put her headphones on.
"Who Missy?" Riley responded
"Yes. How many other halves do you have?" Mr. Santiago responded
"I dunno. And I dunno. Crap!" Riley said as her phone vibrated
"Are we not use to our phone ringing?" Jennifer, another one of "De's kids" asked Riley
"ITS USUALLY ON RING! Don't laugh at me idiot!" Riley said to Mr. Santiago as she flipped her phone open
"Hello?" she asked
"RILEY JESSICA ISABELLE SMITH" the other voice responded
"Ohhhhhhhh crap" Riley said and threw her coat over her head as to hide her face
"Oh crap is right! Where the hell have you been?" the voice asked
"School"
"And then?"
"Ms.De's office"
"Ha-ha Ms.Smith is in trouble!" Mr. Santiago said gleefully
"Ms.De's office you said?" The male voice
"Uh yes?"
"Uh no, you go to an all girls school Riley"
"Oh grow up Jonathan that's one of my teachers" Riley snapped
"Oh grow up Jonathan" John mimicked
"What did you want anyway, you never call me!"
"You never call me either"
"When the fuck am I suppose to call you?"
"I dunno, whenever you feel like it"
"Ok hang up and I'll call you right now"
"Bella!"
"Ok ok ok "
"Anyway, the pay per view on Sunday, you wanna go?"
"Uh isn't that, that other brand? And like far away?"
"Yes"
"Soooo"
"I don't know, I just wanna go, and being that I do work for the company I can get tickets and"
"It's in Puerto Rico!"
"What about Puerto rico?" Mr. Santiago asked as all heads in the room turned
"Nothing"
"You sure that's your teacher?" John asked
"Yes"
"Cause…"
"Bite me"
"Ew no"
"Aighty"
"Aighty….?"
"I'll go. Flight?" Riley said forfeiting
"I'll take care of it, and pick you up at school on Friday"
"Bye Jonathan. Love ya"
"Bye Bella love you too"
Riley flipped the phone close and turned to Mr. Santiago, "I'm going to Puerto Rico on Friday afternoon"
"What in God's name for?" Ms De asked
"Like I have a clue. John wants me to, so there I go"
"But we have school on Monday" Madison, one of Riley's close friends said from her seat on the floor leaning on the computer desk.
"I'll be here"
"But…, how is it that simple?!" Ms.Jameson exclaimed
"With John…it's always that simple"
"But who's John?" Mr. Santiago asked
"You know for a bunch of teachers you guys sure say 'but' a lot" Missy said leaning against the doorway.
"Hey Miss" Riley said
"Hiya" Missy threw herself down next to Riley on the couch. "And Mr. Santiago, you really shouldn't be asking who John is, remember, you're a 22 year old male teacher in an all girls school!"
"Don't remind me" He responded and said "By the way, I need to talk to you later"
"Fine. I'll ask. Riley whose John?" Ms.De asked giving her the 'I'm your teacher, and your shrink don't lie to me look'
"My best friend…Male that is" She replied glancing at Missy. "He lives, lived next door to my grandma in Massachusetts."
"Ahhhh, ok?" Madison said
"And whatever John wants, John gets" Riley said
"Well man?" Randy said glancing at John from the couch in his home in St. Louis
"She's coming….you do know…." John said
"I know man, I know….How'd you get her to agree to come?" Randy said curiously as he shifted position on the couch
John jumped over the armrest of the lazy-boy and into it. "Because when it comes to Ms. Riley Jessica Isabelle Smith, I always get what I want"
