Tell Her

Lucas is scared to tell Riley how he feels about her. One song will help him make his decision. Will Riley sing along, or will she reject?

Lucas Friar was a very handsome young man with dirty-blonde hair and green eyes. All of the girls had their eyes on him, but he had someone else in mind, Riley Matthews. He loved the way she laughed, talked, and smiled. He loved everything about her. He was one of her best friends. He admitted it. He was in love with Riley Matthews.

Riley Matthews was a very beautiful young lady with brown, curly hair and chocolate brown eyes. Most of the boys had their eyes on her, but she had someone else in mind, Lucas Friar. She loved his laugh, smile, and his southern-style accent. She loved everything about him. She was one of his best friends. She admitted it. She was in love with Lucas Friar.

Lucas made his way to school by riding on the subway, and so did Riley. He would be on the subway first, and Riley would board later. Maya would be with her though.

FLASHBACK-FLASHBACK-FLASHBACK-FLASHBACK-FLASHBACK-GMW!

Lucas's P.O.V.

I just saw Farkle kiss Riley! At least he didn't kiss her on the lips. Don't get me wrong. Farkle is one of my best friends, but he stole my moment. If Maya and Farkle wouldn't have been there, I would've had my moment.

"He stole my moment," I told Riley.

"That was your moment?" Riley asked me.

"No," I said, "my moment will be my moment.

Basically, what I told her is that I liked her, but I wasn't ready to tell her that I love her. I just need to think of the right way to ask her, but how?

No One's P.O.V.

What Lucas didn't realize is that his inspiration would soon come. Little did he know that Riley was looking for advice on how to get a guy to kiss you. Lucas would kiss her regardless, because he wanted to show her his love and affection towards her.

Riley's P.O.V.

Oh my gosh! Lucas Friar just hinted that he wanted to kiss me! I need to tell Maya! Where is she anyway. Oh, shoot, there's Lucas. What do I say?

"Hey, Riley," said Lucas.

"Hi," I said back.

"Is Maya walking with you today when you go to the subway?" Lucas asked.

"I think she is walking with Farkle. I'm not sure. I had to tell her something, but I couldn't find her," I told him.

"What were you going to tell her?" Lucas said with a devilish look.

"Um…girl stuff, what else?" I lied. I just couldn't tell him.

"What kind of girl stuff?" he asked with that smile that makes me go weak.

"Oh look, there's Farkle," I said.

"Hey Lucas and Riley. Where's Maya?" Farkle asked.

"I don't know, but I have to get to gym. Bye," I said.

"Bye," they said at the same time. Little did I know that Lucas would be joining the boys basketball team and practicing today at the same time as me.

*In the gym*

"Hey, Riley," I turned around to find Lucas standing beside me waiting to hear what we were going to be doing today in gym.

"Hey, Lucas," I said.

"Where are the coaches?" Lucas asked me.

"I don't know, but if any of the girls see me talking to you, I'm going to get pounded in dodge ball," I said.

"Now, I wouldn't want that to happen," Lucas said with a smile.

"Okay, boys and girls. We will be playing dodge ball today. I will assign your teams," the coach said.

"Great," I thought, "there's no way I'll be on Lucas's team."

"On the right side, we will have Billy, Missy, Brenda, Callie, Joseph, Sarah, Chloe, Drake, Jonathan, and Trace. On the left side, we will have Lucas, Maya, Farkle, Riley, Jimmy, Carter, Hailey, Hannah, Cassidy, and George. 1,2,3 DODGE BALL!" the coach yelled.

On Lucas's team the first person to get out was George. On Billy's team, the first two people out were Jonathan and Brenda. Next four people were Carter, Hailey, Callie, and Joseph. That left me, Lucas, Maya, Farkle, Hannah, Jamie, and Cassidy on our team. On Billy's team, the remaining people were Billy, Missy, Sarah, Chloe, Drake, and Trace. When the next ball was thrown, five people got out. Chloe, Drake, Trace, Hannah, and Jamie. Five minutes later, four more people were eliminated. They were Cassidy, Farkle, Maya, and Billy. So it was me and Lucas against Sarah and Missy. I got Sarah out, but not before she hit Lucas in the leg with the ball and got him out. That left me and Missy. I shuffled around my side of the gym while she tried to target me. She threw the ball and missed me. That left me with three balls on my side. I grabbed all of them, and set one of them down beside me. I targeted Missy's feet. I missed by an inch. She ran to get the ball when I threw another one. It missed her but knocked the ball out of her hands. She went to pick it up when I threw my last ball. It met its mark. I won the dodge ball match! My whole team cheered for me. Then, the bell rang, so it was time to go to the locker room and change.

Lucas's P.O.V.

My best friend just won the dodge ball match for today. Wow! I'm so proud of her. Had she stayed after everyone left, I could've had my moment. I soon thought of a plan. I'd take her out to dinner tonight to celebrate her victory. So, I met her by her locker and we started a conversation.

"Hey," I said.

"Hey, yourself," Riley said.

"I was wondering if you…um…you know… if you wanted to go out to dinner with me tonight?" I finally asked her.

"Yeah, of course! I'd love to," Riley replied.

"I'll pick you up about six," I told her.

"Okay, I'll see you then," Riley replied.

Riley's P.O.V.

So, Lucas just asked me out to dinner tonight. Whoa! This was big. So, after school, I rushed home to get dressed. I put on a pale green romper with a pair of light colored blue jeans. I got my mom to lend me her Yoki* boots. So, I curled my hair and put on a little bit of make-up to enhance my face. Then the doorbell rang. When I opened the door, there was a police officer standing there.

"May I help you?" I asked nervously.

"Yes mam. Do you know a Lucas Friar?" he asked me.

"Yes sir," I replied.

"Well, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but Mr. Friar has been in a terrible accident," he told me.

"Th-that can't be! He was on his way to pick me up so we could go out to dinner!" I cried.

"Ma'am, if you could just come with me," he said, "I can take you to the hospital. That's where your parents are."
"Let me get my little brother. Auggie!" I yelled.

"What?" Auggie yelled.
"Come on! We're going to the hospital!" I screamed as tears were falling down my face.

"Okay. I'm coming," he said.

Soon, we were on our way to the hospital. As soon as we pulled up, I jumped out of the car and ran inside.
