When You Made Your Choice

Riley walked to her locker in a slow pace, the horde of all her classmates seemed to have vacated the school premises. She turned right and walked the long hallway, in every step the school grew quiet, until she felt like she was completely alone. Her locker was at the end of her walk, and she was in no mood for a walk. Alonso had just winked at her a couple of minutes ago and left. She couldn't help but smile at the sight of him, he would wink, she would smile and just like that...he had her wrapped around his finger.

It felt as if that was one of their ways of communicating. No more hey's or hi's just a wink and a smile.

Now, Riley knew how Alonso truly felt about her. She had her reasons to believe he liked her, but now to hear it from someone that wasn't him...made her feel wanted. It's been a while since someone has had a crush on her and it's been a while since someone has made Riley smile as much as he did. They had many things in common like same eye color, same colored hair, they both like the red gummies more than the rest, not to mention they both share a birthday.

Lucas and Riley on the other hand were like summer rain, blossoming flowers and clear water, but too much can do harm. They were polar opposites, he was captain of the basketball team he always the first one to finish the mile, while Riley was in the middle. She liked to visualize a perfect picture, while he could actually make one.

Then there came Maya and Lucas, both blondes, colored eyes, somehow managed to have the relationship everyone wanted. They were a couple in the eye of the whole school, when both of them didn't do anything to change that.

Riley finally reached her locker and opened it, taking out her textbook and a blue notebook. When she closed it, Lucas was right there, jaw clenched and fist balled. After giving her a good scare he got in front of her, blocking her from the exit of the hallway. "Get out of my way, Lucas."

He didn't move. The only thing he did was cross his hands making his muscles prominent, Riley turned around to walk away, but was pulled back.

"A boyfriend?" he almost yelled.

She pulled away from the embrace he had her in and questioned, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Do you think i'm an idiot?" his voice was brittle and hoarse.

"I'd answer that-"

"Alonso, Riley. Why in the world would you date him?" he demanded.

Riley didn't know what she was hearing, did he just question about her dating him? "I'm not."

He pushed her towards the locker and got in front of her, till their bodies were touching. His body lined up with hers, he didn't know what he was doing he was just angry.

Riley had to admit, he looked hot when he was angry and hostile-yet gentle. "You really don't think i'd beat his ass up?"

He breathed in her face, moving some hairs that framed her. She could tell he was angry, but he looked amazingly seductive. She snapped out of her reverie. "I'd like to see you try."

They looked at each other for seconds, Riley could tell Lucas was refusing the temptation in kissing her because he eyed her lips more than once. She tried to get out of his warm hold, but she couldn't. His hands wrapped around her waist, if Riley had walked into a pair holding each other like this, she'd think they were ready for something else.

They're only in eighth grade and he's holding her like this...in school. Bad timing. She couldn't get out of his grip so she said something she knew she would regret. "Kiss me."

Riley didn't have to tell him twice. Right when she finished, his lips were already on hers. He cupped the back of her neck and pulled her in close, savoring every second. That's when he felt it. She had kicked him in a place no man would want to be kicked in, he fell to the ground clutching the part he felt the pain in.

She watched him silently groan on the floor, guilt washed over her, but didn't dare apologize. "Even if he did ask, i'd say yes."

Do you think Lucas got what he deserved?
