Hi everyone. I apologize for not posting more this week as promised, however it has been chaotic here. I will try and post again on Saturday. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and thank you always for your feedback. I am always trying to improve my writing techniques based on your reviews.

I'm not happy part 2:

As Riven entered the bowling alley, he and Helia made their way towards the fifth lane off to the right of the entrance. The rest of the specialists and winx were putting on their bowling shoes and getting ready to start the first game.

"Riven you're up first." Sky said as he handed Riven his pair of dark blue bowling shoes. As Riven grabbed the shoes from Sky, he looked up at the tv monitor above the lane and saw how the teams were set up. It looked as the guys were playing against their girlfriends. It was easy to assume that bright idea must have came from Stella. Riven looked at the name of the winx who he would be playing against, and a sigh of relief came over him. "She'd probably aim the ball at me if I was playing against her" Riven thought to himself.

Riven walked to where the bowling balls were and began to lift two of them, deciding against which one would be the best to use. After a few minutes Riven chose the solid red with green speckle 10 pound ball. He took the ball in his hand and made his way towards the lane.

"You're going down" Layla said playfully as she positioned herself to throw the ball down the lane.

Riven smirked at her comment. "uhuh" Riven responded.

He was happy he wasn't playing against Musa, but he wondered why and why Layla wasn't playing against this new guy.

Riven threw the ball down the lane and knocked down every pin.

"Awesome Job" Sky shouted.

Riven turned around and smirked at his friend.

"Why isn't Layla playing with her guy?" Riven asked Helia as he sat down next to his friend.

"He sprained his wrist and isn't allowed to lift heavy object like a bowling ball." Layla said as she sat down across from the boys.

After a few rounds Riven noticed that Musa hasn't gone up to bowl. He looked at the monitor and saw her name wasn't on the list. "Where is she?" Riven thought as, he got up from his chair and looked around the area.

"Musa's not playing" Layla said as she watched Riven's eyes quickly look around the place.

"What?" he asked.

"She's not playing so the teams would be even since Vince can't play."

"Yea…ok…..I wasn't asking though" Riven responded snippy.

Riven continued to stand in the middle of the seating area of their bowling lane, looking to where Musa would be. Off to the left side of the entrance where the video games are, Riven noticed the back of a girl's long dark blue hair playing ice hockey. Riven started to take one step forward until he saw that Musa wasn't playing alone.

"Who invited the kid?" Riven asked annoyed.

Everyone turned around to where Musa was and watched her and Jared playing ice hockey for a minute.

"Musa invited him." Bloom said.

"Great" Riven said sarcastically as he sat back down in his seat.

The fairies and specialists continued to play for two games. The boys won the first time, but the girls kicked their butts the second time, mostly because Riven was so disappointed on how the evening turned out he didn't care about the game.

As the final game ended the Winx and specialists started to make their way to the exit.

"Where is Musa?" Bloom asked.

"She's getting a drink." Stella said.

"She has to hurry up; we're going to be late for curfew." Bloom responded.

"You guys go, I'll get her back in time" Riven said.

"That's a good idea." Bloom said and with that the other winx and specialists left.

After a few more minutes waiting by the exit, Musa came with her drink in hand.

"Where did everyone go?…I was only two minutes." Musa asked annoyed.

"They didn't want to be late for curfew and I know I can get you back in time. Riven said

"Wonderful" Musa responded sarcastically as she threw her drink in the pal.

'You know your starting to sound like me." Riven responded snotty.

"Don't insult me like that….I'm nothing like you." Musa answered annoyed

"What's your problem?" Riven asked.

"I don't have a problem." She said.

"Stop it!" Riven responded angrily.

"Stop what, I'm not doing anything" She said

"Yes you are…..your not acting like you." Riven said.

Musa stood there for a moment; she knows how different she has been acting the past few weeks….but she couldn't help it…she's unhappy.

"How do you know how I'm suppose to act like…you don't know me….you don't know a dam thing about how I am! I haven't had a conversation with you in months." Musa said.

"Whatever" Riven responded.

"There it is again…your favorite word "whatever" Musa said mimicking Riven. "Is that the only word in the dictionary you know?"

"See this isn't you. You don't talk this way…your not snotty like this." Riven responded. Riven hated how Musa had been acting. He knew he's to blame for not telling Musa how he feels, or to tell the truth about why he's scared to be in a relationship with her.

Musa put her head down, she knew Riven was right. That's not how she talks, but she has been so miserable the past few weeks. Nothing makes Musa happy, not even her music.

"Your right I'm not…I just…" She said.

"What" Riven asked worried

Musa quietly walked out of the bowling alley towards the levebike with Riven behind her.

"It's just so hard for me". Musa said as she leaned against the seat of the levebike. I thought I could do it but after everything I can't!" she continued.

"You can't do what?" Riven asked as he walked closer to her.

"I can't be your friend." She said.

"oh" Riven responded.

"It's too hard…especially after that night we hung out….you really started to open up…and then…you just…..you left." Musa explained.

"Well you wanted me to leave remember" He replied.

Musa put her head back down; she knew this is partially her fault. She never wanted Riven to leave, but she didn't want him to stay if he didn't want to.

"Fine…it's all my FAULT!" Musa called out frustrated.

"That's not what I meant." He said

Musa began to feel frustrated. Another conversation with Riven that didn't seem to go anywhere.

"You know what I don't care what you mean, I never understand what you mean. You say one thing then do something else….I give up." She said as she threw her hands up in the air.

"What?" Riven asked surprised

"You heard me…..I give up!" Musa called out.

Riven just stood there in shock. Had she really given up on him? They made such a connection that night on the hill. Everything they have ever done and said lead up to that point when Riven was finally able to start opening up to her and tell her things he never said to anyone. And even over the summer when they emailed each other, did Musa forget about all the talks they had about her music and him about his fighting.

Riven quietly handed Musa the helmet and placed it over his head. Musa saw the sadness in his eyes, but didn't understand why. This is what he wanted, isn't it she thought. Musa put the helmet over her head and positioned herself of the levebike so that they could leave. Neither one said a word to each other while they rode back to Alfea.

On the ride back Riven rode it at normal speed, if not a little slower because he was so upset at how the whole night turned out. He had some high hopes that him and Musa were going to be able talk or at least just want to be in each others presence, but instead she yelled at him, ignored him and hung out with someone else.

Riven pulled up at the front steps of Alfea and Musa quickly got off the bike and handed Riven the helmet. Just when she started walking away Musa felt her arm being tugged back in the direction of the levabike. It was Riven holding on to her. Musa looked up at him, and for a moment they were staring at each other, expressing their feeling for one another through their eyes.

"No" Musa said softly as she continued to look at Riven.

"No?" Riven asked

He stood up from his bike, his body towering over Musa. Riven wanted to pull her in his arms but he knew he couldn't do it, not now, not like this.

Musa took a deep breath. "No. it can't be one sided. I made the first move; you didn't want to make the second." She said.

"But…" Riven began to utter.

"What!" Musa called out as she took a step back from Riven. "I keep hearing you say but, but nothing comes out after it!" she said frustrated.

Riven once again tried to tell Musa what he tried to tell her that night and afternoon in the hospital wing. The words formed in his mind but when he opened his mouth something different came out.

"Please…try…" He asked.

"Try? Try what?" Musa asked annoyed and confused.

"Try… to be my friend" Riven said sadly.

Musa just looked at him, she hated how she was becoming, always so angry and unhappy, but it hurts knowing what could have been, but it hurts even more cutting him out of her life like that. "He might not want to be with me or not ready at least" Musa thought. "But I still need him to be a part of my life…I still love him" she thought.

"okay….I'll try." Musa said sadly as she began to hold back her tears.

She turned around from him and began to walk to the dorm.
