Chapter Two - Old Friends and De ja Vu
"Ryan! Ryan!"
"Riley! Riley Foster?! Is that you?"
"Who else would it be?"
"Come here you!" Riley ran to Ryan and he picked her up into a spinning hug. "When did you get home from Paris?"
"About two hours ago. I visited my great-grandmother. I haven't been home yet."
"Well I'm glad you came to see me. You hungry?"
"Just a little, airline food isn't the greatest, you know? What do you have in mind?"
"Cheeseburger, fries, and a coke."
"Don't bother me I'm eating."
"Well at least we know you haven't lost your sense of humor."
"What? You sounded like a commercial, I had to finish it for you." They laughed a bit, he offered his arm, and they headed to a nearby diner.
The diner was packed when they got there. They were lucky to find their favorite table open. It was one by the front window - they loved to watch the people walk by. They sat down and before they could start talking their waiter appeared. After he had gotten their orders he left them.
"So, tell me everything about Paris!"
"Paris was beautiful! I missed home though. I missed you."
"Awww. How sweet."
"Oh shut up!" Riley playfully smacked him. "We've been friends forever and we've been through a lot together, it's weird for you not to be around."
Ryan just stared at her for a little before turning his attention to the outside world. They sat there looking at everyone that passed them. When their food came it seemed even quieter. Ryan was interested in his food and Riley's attention was still on the outside world. She saw the most unfamiliar people. It was a family of four, a mother, father, and two boys.
Riley kept her eyes on the youngest of the two boys until he turned and looked at her. She hadn't realized she was staring at him until he turned and looked at her. She quickly turned her head and pretended like she didn't notice.
Ryan noticed this and started to laugh at her. The long silence between them was broken. Riley started laughing and their conversation from earlier continued.
Outside Jesse Tuck smiled at Riley's actions. Then he turned to his older brother Miles and told him something that made them both look at the girl in the diner.
"Her? Are you sure that was the girl you saw in the woods? The one next to the grave?"
"Yes, it's her." They looked once more and then continued on their way behind their parents.
A/N: Sorry it has taken me so long to update. I have been really busy with school lately. I hope to have the next chapter up within a week. That is if you people still like it.
Some story information for this chapter:
Riley's last name is Foster even though Winnie married a guy named Jackson. In this story Winnie had three kids: A boy and two girls. The boy was the only one whose last name was Jackson. Winnie wanted all the women in her family to keep the last name of Foster and so it was passed through the line.
The diner in this story is like Luke's Diner in Gilmore Girls. Just a mental picture for you.
Ryan is not a love interest of Riley's. They are like brother and sister. They are extremely close and Riley treats him like the big brother she never had.
I think that's all for this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except my own characters and ideas. The commercial is from Carl's Jr. The characters that I didn't make up belong to Natalie Babbitt. And the diner idea is obviously from Gilmore Girls.
