In The Best Interest--"Riley's Journal"
**OK this chapter is going to be different than any of my others, it's going to be only a journal entry from Riley, or more like a few because he's my favorite character, and it's not just cuz he's based on my firend Adam either, darnit! Anyway if you want a day in our lives of the three new characters then remeber to tell me!**

I'm sitting here in my room, alone. My mom is on the couch. SHe just took her medicine, whatever she's taking now. She fell down the stairs earlier and Melissa wouldn't even help her, so I did. I don't get Mel, she's so cool and all, but then when it comes to mom she don't even care. Oh, well. I just got back from my dad's. I swear, Jen (*his stepmom*) is to nice. SHe's like, "Oh, Ri, look what you got!" like I'm still five-years-old. My mom's boyfriend was over with his son and daughter, Tony and Destanie. They're okay. Tony is eight, and Destanie is my age. He got me a new trick bike, which I really love. My mom got me a new skateboard and ramp and a dog! His name is Zeus...He's my baby, haha. I hate my dad. For leaving mom, for taking my sisters, and everything. But then again, I hate being home, too, because my mom counts on me for everything. She's either insanely angry or insanly depressed. Today, she was depressed, because my sister isn't bringing my nephew, Sebastion, or just Bastion, over. He's all splotchy, I said, why does she wanna see him so bad, anyway?!
MARCH 11, 2002
My sister's new baby, Steffan, was born today. Joy. The same day (only a year later) that my uncle died and so did Kristyn's granny. And Kristyn's birthday was yesterday. That's kinda screwed.
SEPTEMBER 13, 2002
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Oh shit. Do I need to say it again?! I just got back from questioning with the cops and Kristyn. Kristyn's fagget-ass neighbors called the COPS because we had a BB gun and were "shooting them". Kristyn's little sisters and brothers were around, I highly doubt that we'd be shooitng people! Gosh, I'm real scared. We're gonna have to go to court I think but our probation officer (this isn't the first time we've been in trouble together), Richie, is also my neighbor, and said that we wouldn't get more than a year probation. That's a HUGE relief. My mom spanked the hell out of me, but she said as soon as we get off of probation that me and Kristyn are to go whoop Andy's @$$. She's serious, to.
FEBRUARY 2003
I'm sitting in the back of this car with my probation officer, Richie, and Kristyn is next to me. I'm going to some school called Horizon cuz I beat the crap out of Andy and instead of juvie I picked this, and temporarily I was taken from my mom. This shit is really pissing me off. Kristyn is coming because she has a hearing about her probation crap and Richie wouldn't have time to pick her upa fter tkaing me. She's just staring ahead and Richie's looking at both of us like we're crazy. I'm kinda glad I'm coming here. I mean, it's better than juvie and being with my dad until thye find my mom fit to be a mother. Whatever that means.
