Chapter 11

Riley Matthews was not jealous. Sure, she was less than pleased to see the way the girl was touching her boyfriend's arm. Yeah, she rolled her eyes every time she let out one of those fake laughs. The seventeen year old was confident in her relationship. She knew that her boyfriend of three years loved her. She knew that they were more than just a couple. She knew that they were best friends above all else. As she looked over at Lucas again, she felt her blood boil. She hated seeing that girl all over her boyfriend.

"Well you look like you're about to slap someone," Maya laughed at the expression on her best friends face.

"Yeah, what's with you?" Zay chimed in and snapped his fingers in front of the brunette's face. Riley seemed to remember where she was and saw the amused looks on her friends faces.

"Who's that?" Riley pointed at the girl talking to Lucas. "That one there. The one talking to Lucas."

"Is someone jealous?" Farkle teased the brunette but quickly stopped when he saw the look she sent in his direction.

"I am not jealous," Riley insisted. "I just think it's weird."

"Honey, he talks to other people. It looks so innocent," Maya said.

"I am not jealous," Riley repeated. "I just had a homework question for him."

"You had a homework question for him?" Zay raised an amused eyebrow. "Is the assignment on how jealous you are?"

"I think it's cute that she's jealous," Maya smirked. "It's always Huckleberry that gets jealous. It's nice to see how our Riley reacts."

"You are not nice people," Riley glared at her friends.

"Oh you love us," Farkle waved her off.

"I think a little jealousy is healthy," Smackle chimed in. "It shows you still care about him."

"When do I not show that I care about him?" Riley asked.

"Uh," Smackle widened her eyes and then turned to Farkle. "Honey, what do I do?"

"Just smile at her," Farkle whispered. Smackle turned back to Riley and flashed a smile at her. Riley lifted an amused eyebrow but laughed anyway.

"You guys are the best," Riley smiled.

"Hey guys," Lucas finally walked over and greeted his friends. He looked down and smiled at his girlfriend. "Hey."

"Hi," Riley greeted. She wanted to stay jealous but one look into his green eyes and it all slipped away.

"Oh hey Lucas," Anna James walked over and smiled at Lucas.

"Hey," Lucas greeted with a smile. Riley rolled her eyes and went back to eating her lunch, but continued to listen to their conversation.

"Are we still meeting up after school?" Anna asked.

"The library at four?" Lucas asked.

"Perfect! I will see you there," Anna flashed a smile and then walked away. Lucas looked down and saw the annoyed look on his girlfriend's face.

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked.

"You are studying with her after school? Were you going to tell me?" Riley asked, feeling the jealousy and anger building up inside of her.

"Of course I was going to tell you," Lucas nodded. "I just didn't think it was a big deal."

"Not a big deal?" Riley repeated.

"It's just a school project at the library. I don't see what the big deal is," Lucas said and Riley could see the genuine confusion on his face.

"The fact that you don't understand what's wrong is exactly the problem," Riley snapped and then turned to leave the cafeteria. "Come find me when you figure it out," Riley said before storming out of the cafeteria. Zay and Farkle walked in just as she brushed by them without a word.

"Wow, she looks mad," Farkle said before taking the seat she was just in.

"What did you do, man?" Zay asked as he took a seat on the other side of Lucas.

"She's mad that I'm working on a project at the library with some other girl," Lucas explained to his two best friends.

"Oh no," Farkle's eyes widened.

"Dude," Zay shook his head.

"What? Is this about the girl? You would think after three years that she would not think I would ever cheat on her," Lucas said.

"It has nothing to do with the girl," Farkle said.

"Yeah man. The girl is the last thing she is pissed about," Zay added.

"Well what else could it be?" Lucas asked.

"What are you two doing?" Zay asked.

"Working on a project," Lucas said.

"Where are you doing this?" Farkle asked.

"The library," Lucas said. His two best friends just looked at him expectantly before it dawned on Lucas. "Crap."

"You better start working on your apology man," Zay patted him on the back and Farkle nodded in agreement.

. .GMWRUCAS.

"Hey babe," Lucas crawled through the bay window. Riley was stretched out on her bed, a book in her lap.

"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the library with Anna?" Riley mumbled as she continued to read her book.

"I wanted to see you," Lucas said as he moved to sit on the bed with her.

"Why?" Riley asked, her eyes never looking up from her book.

"Because I am an idiot," Lucas said. Riley finally looked up to lock eyes with her boyfriend. He moved to sit next to her on the bed and stretched his legs out in front of him.

"Continue," Riley said.

"I should have figured it out right away. I should have known why working at the library with Anna would bother you," Lucas said and then reached over to grab Riley's hand in his. "That's our thing."

"I guess it kind of felt like you were replacing me," Riley admitted.

"Replace you? I could never," Lucas insisted and then turned Riley's face towards him. "I wasn't even thinking and that's what bothers me the most about all of this. I should have immediately known."

"I think I was a little jealous," Riley bit her lip and Lucas raised an eyebrow. "Okay, I was a lot jealous. She's just so beautiful and you were taking her to our place. I got insecure."

"Is she beautiful? I didn't even notice," Lucas said.

"You had to have noticed," Riley rolled her eyes.

"I don't notice other girls. The only face I ever see is yours. There is no one else in this world that could ever compare to your beauty. You are so beautiful without even realizing it," Lucas said and then caressed her cheek. "That's what I love the most about you."

"Lucas," Riley whispered.

"I love you," Lucas said before leaning forward to kiss his girlfriend.

"I love you so much," Riley wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's shoulders.

"Next time can we talk about this instead of storming off angry?" Lucas asked.

"Deal," Riley nodded and then leaned in to kiss Lucas.
