Don't own anything.
I think this is the final chapter, if it all wraps up, but if not, there will be more. I really hope this is okay as a longer chapter, I tried! Enjoy.
Riley leaned back against the locker, a small tear slid down her face.
Angrily, she pushed it away. She wouldn't cry, tears were a sign of weakness and she wasn't weak.
Wendy walked in and saw her crumpled on the ground, "Riley? What's wrong?"
She shook her head, "Nothing Wendy, I'm fine."
"Right, nothing is not curled up against the locker sobbing Riley. You want to talk?"
"It's Greg."
Wendy nodded, "Thought so." When she saw Riley's look of surprise, she grinned, "Oh, come on. It's so obvious, everyone knows."
Riley sighed and uncurled herself, going from a ball to her legs being stretched out, "Great, now everyone will know what an idiot I am."
Wendy went over and plopped down next to her, "No, they won't. What reason would they have to call you an idiot?"
"I'm being oversensitive and crying over a guy."
Wendy patted her shoulder, "That's not called being idiotic, that's called being a woman. Trust me, I know." She stood up, "Since we're on the topic of being a woman, let's do the next thing on the list."
Riley looked up at her, "What's that?"
"Eat lots of ice cream and complain about Greg, or just men in general." She held out her hand, "Sound good?"
Riley nodded and grabbed Wendy's hand, "Ya, let's go."
Standing, she wiped her tears and allowed herself to be led out the door.
Greg wandered into the break room and sat down across from Catherine and Ray, "You guys seen Riley?"
Ray shook his head while Catherine sighed, "What did you do now Greg?"
He looked at her, "How do you know I did anything?"
She shrugged, "Lucky guess. So what did you do?"
"I kissed her."
That statement made Ray and Catherine stare at him, finally Ray opened his mouth, "What happened?"
"Well, she gave me a make-over when I was sleeping and after chasing her for awhile, I caught up to her in the break room. Something happened and we kissed We stopped when Mandy and Nick walked in and after we pulled away..."
"He just smiled and said I could consider that payback." Riley's face was glum as she told Wendy what happened.
Wendy raised her eyebrows, "What did you do after?"
"I told him angrily, 'Nice way to get me back Greg.' And then took off."
Wendy started to laugh, "Good job!" Suddenly, she turned somber, "What did that kiss make you feel?"
Riley smiled, "It was amazing, I actually thought we could have had something. That's why I got so mad, he just brushed it off, I thought he felt something too."
Wendy sighed, "Men are emotional idiots Riles, you have to know that. Greg was just being his normal cocky self, you should talk to him."
"I don't know Wendy, what if he..."
"Doesn't want to? She was so mad when she walked out."
Catherine rolled her eyes, "You're an idiot Greg, Riley's mad because you brushed her off after a kiss that meant something. Trust me, if you felt something in that kiss, she felt it too. Talk to her, be a man."
Ray nodded, "Catherine is right, Riley will not want to be the one to apologize first, especially when she isn't to blame."
Greg stood up, "I'll go talk to her, okay?"
He was just about to walk out the door when Catherine called him back, "She's not here Greg, you know where Wendy lives?"
"Ya, I went to her party last year. Riley's there?"
Catherine smiled, "Wendy took her home to eat ice cream and participate in some good old fashioned male bashing. Now, you should go before she's tempted to do more then verbal bashing."
Greg's eyes went wide, "I have a lot to make up for don't I?"
Both Ray and Catherine nodded, then Greg turned and left.
Catherine looked over at Ray, "Ten bucks says he'll have to sit out in the hall all night."
Ray smiled, "Deal."
