Kimmy's POV

I stood at the stairway crying. I felt really hurt. Then I remembered the date with Riley. I got up wiping my tears and slowly walked back to my dorm. When I got back, I took a shower, and got changed. When I was all finished, I looked at the clock. It was 5: 56 and Riley was going to come in a little while. Then I heard a knock on the door.

I opened the door and it was Riley. "Hi" he said.

"Hi… you're early…" I said slowly.

"Yeah… I couldn't wait to see you that's why." Riley said smiling.

I forced a smile back. "Should we go now?" I asked.

"Yeah" he said.

We left our dorms walking towards his car.

"So where do you want to eat at?" Riley asked smiling slyly.

"It doesn't matter…" I said looking down.

"Does Denny's sound good?" Riley asked.

"Yeah… okay…" I said thinking about Adam.

"Great!" Riley said driving.

The whole drive was quiet. I wasn't really in the mood to talk. When we finally got to Denny's, Riley got off the car and opened the door for me. I smiled and got off.

We walked in and we ordered our foods. When we got our receipt, the receipt said 'table 10' so we walked over and sat at table 10.

"So… you're going to tryout for the hockey team?" Riley asked suspiciously.

"Yeah…" I told him. "You don't like the Ducks huh?" I asked curiously.

He shrugged.

I smiled and said "I'll take that as a 'no'." he shrugged again. "You do know that if I make the team, I'm going to be part of the Ducks right?"

Riley thought for a second. "I hate the Ducks, and that's for sure, but if you make the team, I can make an exception to that" he said smiling.

I chuckled. "It's so hard to imagine a Varsity member saying that" I said still chuckling.

Riley laughed. "I'll do anything for a girl like you" Riley said smiling slyly.

"You could be pretty sweet sometimes, it's unbelievable" I said smiling at him.

He laughed. We started to talk about our childhood until the food came. "Mmm… smells and looks good." He said.

"Yeah… it does…" I said smiling at him. We began to eat. "So how did it feel when you guys lost to the JV team?"

He stared at me for a little while and said, "Well… actually… I was really angry. I couldn't believe we lost to the JV team. The Varsity team never lost to the JV team in 20 years." He explained.

"I see…" I said. "So are you over it?"

"To be honest, no." he said continuing to eat.

I didn't say anything.

"Why aren't you talking?" Riley asked looking up from his plate.

"Just don't know what to say…" I said.

He laughed. "Worried about the next Varsity/JV match?" he asked.

"Well… a little… I'm just curious how you are going to treat me if I do make the team…" I said. Riley was a pretty nice person… I misjudged him…

"I wouldn't treat you differently anyhow," he said.

"Why not?" I asked confused.

"Because you're the one girl I actually really like a lot." He told me.

I didn't know what to say… finally, I said, "So if you don't like me you would treat me like how you treat the Ducks?"

"Well… I…" Riley began. I could tell he knew I was disappointed.

"Have you ever tried being nice to the Ducks?" I asked slowly.

"Well… we have a reputation to keep… and Varsity and JV just don't go together," he said.

I felt really disappointed. He's only being nice to me because he likes me… I continued to eat until Riley talked.

"I'm sorry…" he began. "I…"

"For what?" I asked. I knew why he was apologizing, but I wanted to hear his answer.

"For making you sad…" Riley said in a really sweet voice. I wonder if anyone has ever even heard it before?

Does it really matter if he likes the Ducks or not? We're friends right… and I'm sure he'll keep his words. "I'm not sad…" I said smiling. I guess there is a sweet side of Rick Riley that no one has ever seen… or I don't think so.

He smiled back and didn't say anything. We kept on talking for the rest of the dinnertime. When we finally finished, Riley paid for the check and we left.

"Thanks for dinner" I said smiling.

He smiled back and said, "You're welcome. Do you want to go walk around the beach or something?" he asked. I could tell by the look on his face that he wanted me to say 'yes'.

"Sure…" I said.

Riley drove to the beach and we sat on the sand and talked. "So what kind of guys are you into?" Riley said looking at me curiously.

"Um… well…" I didn't know what to say. I started to chuckle a little.

"What's so funny?" he asked not taking his eyes off me.

"Nothing… it's just that I don't know what kind of guys I like. I never actually really thought about it. What about you?" I asked him.

He thought for a little while. Then he smiled and said, "Someone like you."

I was speechless of course. But why should I be? It was obvious that he likes me, so why am I so surprised? I didn't say anything to him and just started to play with the sand. It felt so soft.

We sat there for a long time not talking to each other, and finally I said, "It's getting late… I think we should go."

"Yeah…" Riley said looking kind of upset.

The whole drive was quiet, and when we finally got back to the Eden Hall parking lot, he asked me, "Do you want me to walk you to you're dorm?"

"No… it's okay…" I said getting off the car.

Riley got off also and said, "It's pretty late… and it's not safe for a girl to walk by herself."

I smiled and said, "Alright then… will you walk me to my dorm?"

He laughed. "Of course."

Riley walked me back to my dorm and before he left he gave me a kiss on the cheeks. "I had a great night… thanks for dinner." I said smiling.

"Me too… and you're welcome." He said.

"Well… I think you should go now… bye…" I said.

Riley said 'bye' and began to leave.

I walked into my dorm and found Jen sitting on her bed watching T.V. "You're back. How was dinner?" she said turning her head and looking at me.

"It was good…" I said smiling. I walked into the bathroom and took a shower.

When I came out, I got a glass of water and walked to my bed. "Banks was here earlier," Jen told me.

"Really? When?" I asked curiously.

"Like 2 hours ago." She said still watching T.V.

"Two hours ago? Well… it 9:30 right now… so he came like at 7:30?" I asked.

"Yeah… around there" Jen answered.

"Why did he come?" I asked.

"I don't know… he just said something about having to talk to you, and when I told him you were out with Rick Riley, he just left looking upset" Jen explained. "Wonder why he was upset…"

"He doesn't get along with Riley that's why…" I told her. I lied down on my bed and fell fast asleep.
