~Chapter 17~ Wow! This is chapter 17! I think I'll atleast make this story go up to chapter 30? Is that to long or to short? I dunno..what chapter do you guys think this story should go to? Anyway here's Chapter 17. I'm not even going to go through the who I own and who I don't own becuz you should know by now. Sorry this is so short.

                                                            (****Steve's POV****)

            I stood against the truck and cursed to myself. How could I have let Carmen run off like that? She would probably never speak to me again. And god knows I would have broken up with Evie to even get one date with Carmen. She was pretty, nice, sweet, and a Soc.

            I liked Riley too. Riley was beautiful and sweet and everything that I wanted. Soda liked her though. The minute I thought this I felt like saying 'Screw you, Soda' but instead I followed Soda's gaze. He was looking across the parking lot.

            A blonde haired girl was coming our way. She had cuts up and down her legs and arms. She was crying and had black stuff all over her face. Her sleeveless white shirt and knee length red skirt looked really cute on her. From what I could tell she was a Soc. That meant she probably wouldn't talk to me, maybe to Soda but he liked Riley so he'd just blow her off.

            It looked like there was really something wrong with her. The way she kept her head down and she kept looking at the ground. Her hair would blow in her face every now and then and she'd push it right back out. God, she looked gorgeous eventhough it looked like she was crying.

            It wasn't until she looked up that I realized it was Riley. Riley. Why was Riley coming here? And why did she look like that? I knew she had been in pretty bad shape the night before but I didn't expect her to be a wreck the next day. I figured the next day she'd just be the perfect Socy cheerleader, Riley. Socs usually did that. One night they could be a wreck but then the next day they'd just forget about it.

            She didn't look like she had forgotten about it. Definitely not. As she kept walking toward us she kept stumbling and looking at her ankle. It kept wobbling, and the bone was in a funny position. It looked like there was something wrong with it.

                        ~A/N~ Hiya!! Ok..that was short..but like I said it was only short cuz its what Steve's thoughts were when he saw Riley arriving at the DX. Good? Bad? What? Review!
