A/N: I'm sorry if this is a bit of a disappointment but I just really wanted to give you guys something today. I have a huge test tomorrow and I've been studying for 4 hours. If you hate it I'm sorry.
It's Friday. Hallelujah. Riley Matthews leaves the house wearing a dark grey sweater with rips in the back over a black tank top, with black, ripped, skinny jeans, combat boots and a Harley Quinn necklace. While most people seemed to find it nerdy and weird, Riley just felt a connection with Harley. She gave up everything and literally went insane for a guy who never loved her and stabbed her in the back in the end. It's just kind of sad.
Riley is walking to school with headphones in her ears, not hearing the foot steps behind her. With her headphones in, she also doesn't hear the car that is speeding down the road. Having not heard the footsteps, she is shocked when the person belonging to them reaches out and stops her from being run over. She looks up and realized it's Pretty Boy. She mumbles a quick thanks and turns around to continue walking. She shuts off her music, a little scared now, so she hears the footsteps this time as they jog a little to catch up with her. She ignores him until he speaks, and she can't help but lol over at him.
"So I never got to properly introduce myself. I'm Lucas." She realizes the only thing she has heard him say is the thanks he said to the receptionist on her first day. He has quite a nice voice. Is that a little bit of a twang she hears?
"I'm Riley," she says, not really wanting to continue the conversation. She's never been good at talking and doesn't really want to risk getting too close to someone. She could end up just like Harley again, throwing everything away for nothing.
She keeps walking, looking down lost in her own world. She realizes Lucas said something to her. She glances up at him and he seems to understand she wasn't listening.
"I was asking why you don't want friend. I mean, everyone needs friends." He looked genuinely lost as to why I don't like people. Why is he so interested?
"I don't need friends. They've never done anything good for me before. I doubt making any here will be any different." I feel like I just told him a secret, even if I really told him nothing at all.
"Well maybe you just never found the right ones."
"Oh, and I suppose you think you're the right kind. You probably think that you would never do anything to ruin a friendship. But guess what. So did all of the rest. Everyone promised they would stay, and not one of them lived up to it. So I don't want company from you or anybody else, okay?"
After my little rant, I think I stunned him, because he is completely silent. When we get to school, I walk away from him to my locker without a word.
What a great start to the day.
