So I figured I'd give this a try in my free time. A cute social fanfic with Riley and Cindy, they seem to reflect each other but we all know Riley isn't as badass as he likes to come across. Well hope you all enjoy and give me some feedback please
Riley is 17, Cindy and Jasmine are 18 and Huey is 19.
Riley hung out in the court yard at his high school looking at a poster 'PROM! 3 MONTHS' it wasn't a very good poster but it got the message across clear enough.
Prom meant dates, and that would mean that Cindy would need one….his mind trailed off at that though, he couldn't understand it but he's been thinking about her more and more. They spent a lot of time together, but it has always been as just friends. Even though he always talked about all of his hoes on the streets he only ever cared about and wanted to be with Cindy in a non-pimp way.
Last summer was hell for him when Cindy went away to Greece for the summer and couldn't talk to each other, it was even harder when she came back gushing about some cute guy she shared her first kiss with and even went to second base. Now that made him pissed, though he never told her that.
Riley let out a chuckle to himself when he remembered the beating he got after he put half a dozen holes in his room's wall.
"Boy, what you doing laughing by yourself? You look like a damn weirdo"
Huey broke Riley's reflection and sat down next to him and glanced at the poster.
"'ey, I thought I said not to talk to me at school, not after your last PSA where you told everyone they were gonna die poor and hungry by 30" Riley said with a grin on his face "And comb your damn afro, come in here looking like Afro Samuria and shit"
Huey ignored Riley's attempts to bait him "You're wondering if someone would ask Cindy to prom" Huey said as if it was nothing not even looking at his brother but instead digging through his bag for something.
"Hey, hey hey, shut the fuck up man, and keep your damn voice down" Riley shot a look around but it looked like no one was listening.
"You realize I can't do both at the same time, any way a month after summer she got that drunk call from her Greek boy when he kept calling her 3 different names, so you should make a move…..cause someone else will for prom, unless if your chicken"
God damn him Riley bitterly thought, he knew he shouldn't have opened up to Huey, but it was hard not to after he did put those holes in the wall. And to make matters worse, as if on cue Riley spotted Cindy walking towards them.
Huey was right, though Cindy still saw herself as his homie, she was hella fine. Her hair was still very long, but she grew long slender beautiful legs and fulled out in her chest, just like her mom.
He could see some guys staring and shooting glances at her, though she never flaunted her looks, she really never needed to, it was obvious by just staring at her.
"Hey Reezy, Huey" she greeted with a big smile "Have you seen Jazz recently?" Cindy sat on the other side of Riley looking at Huey
Huey didn't say anything which annoyed Riley that anyone wouldn't respond when Cindy spoke to them. Ever since she joined the school's basket ball team she became less street and more of a good student which made Jasmine love her that much more, and increased her popularity, though Riley stayed true to his heart and was running a small loan shark/gambling ring. This put many students into his debt, and even got himself 3 older guys to act as muscle when needed. Being Cindy's close friend made him known to have connections even in student council since many of her friends were in it.
Riley always put the beat down on anyone who he saw messing with Cindy, though he had to keep it secret from her, ironically in fear that she would beat him up for acting like she couldn't do it herself.
"Bitch, you deaf? The girl asked you a question."
Huey looked up, "Jasmine would be here in about 5 minutes, I have to give her some notes, which is what I'm busy looking for" and then he returned to shifting through his binders. "So Cindy, anyone ask you to prom yet?"
Riley could have killed Huey right there and then, asking the one thing he was most scared of doing himself incase someone did.
"Actually yeah…just last period" Cindy replied, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear and dipping her chin a little bit to avoid eye contact.
Wait, is she blushing, who the hell is making her blush?! Riley couldn't take it anymore, he shot his hand to his head to rub his temples. "Who?" he was barely able to keep the annoyance out of his voice. Huey was going to pay for doing this he thought as she shot another death glare at his brother.
Huey smiled feeling the death glare but did not make eye contact knowing that it would just annoy Riley that much more, some days were boring, and this was always fun.
"Darnell… I said I'll think about it" Cindy let out slowly.
Both the Freeman brothers looked at her.
"Oh hell no" Riley was the first to speak "people always saying he be hitting on other people girls, be all flirty and shit, and then get the girlfriend to defend him, say he some nice guy and shit"
"Ever thought maybe he really is just a nice guy and he got a bad rep from one loud mouth ex boyfriend and all the other guys just accepted it rather than give him a chance?" Cindy was quick to Darnell's defence, this wasn't a good sign for Riley.
"He's a bitch" Riley muttered, got up, shoved his stuff into his bag and began walking off.
"Hey Reezy, where are you going? The four of us were going to the mall before studying for midterms tonight" Cindy called out, confusion evident on her face.
Riley glanced back into her deep blue eyes and lost himself for a moment, but then saw the prom poster and stormed off.
"Leave him be for now, he'd be there tonight, he needs to eat" Huey said completely unwavering in tone as he finally smiled having found the notes for Jasmine just as she began walking over to Huey and Cindy.
(At the Mall)
Cindy couldn't shake the feeling that something she said had gotten Riley mad, but she did not know what. Sure Riley was always defensive about other guys getting too close, but anytime she tried to call him out on it he'd get defensive and change the subject.
"Huey, can I ask you something about Riley?" Cindy asked, Jasmine was in the middle, holding hands with Huey. If you asked Jasmine she'd squeak, turn red and mumble about them dating as of two weeks ago. If you asked Huey, he would not say anything.
"Sure, but I can tell you the answer, he's an idiot" Huey said causing Jasmine to giggle a little.
"Man you don't even know what imma gonna ask"
"He's still stupid, he must have went home to sulk rather than just man up and come" Huey motioned to the exit door, they still needed to go back to the Freeman's residence and begin studying for midterms.
"…why is he sulking?" Cindy slowly asked, triwling her hair around her finger hoping it'd magically give her an answer. She did not know why it bothered her so much that Riley was down, but it did.
He was tall, good looking, had money and a smooth way with the ladies, but never showed any interest in them, which is why she didn't worry about him last summer and just had fun. But when she came back and told him about it all, the way he acted towards her changed, like he was always holding back a little bit. She let out a huff, blowing air through her hair.
Huey and Jasmine exchanged a look, like the ones that old married couples exchange when they want to have a secret conversation in public, but considering how long they've been around each other it wasn't surprising that they already reached that stage.
"Its about Darnell…." Jasmine started only to get cut off by Huey "he owes Riley money, and for him to offer to take you to prom, means he can pay Riley back" Huey finished, he was already going to be getting into a fight with Riley later one about the prom thing, but if Riley got really mad, he may actually have a chance against Huey.
"Lets go home, I'm hungry" Huey suggested and began walking to the car.
a/n Well let me know what you think please
