Riley's POV
-----
I plopped myself down under a large tree. Even though I wanted to cry, wanted to cry my eyes out. I didn't, I just held it in. My fists clenched and my fingers gripped the fresh green grass. Being angry, was all I could think about.
"You okay?" A somewhat raspy voice asked.
I didn't recognize it. All I saw from my lowered eyes were torn jean bottoms and black boots. "It's none of your business." I replied coldly.
"Fine, but just to warn you, if you're going to ditch make sure Raditch doesn't see you."
Moving my head up, my eyes focused on average looking guy. He wore faded ripped jeans and a denim jacket, complete with a bandana.
I shrugged. Most likely the school badass. "I'm not planning on ditching."
"I saw the fiasco that happened just a few minutes ago, with Paige. Maybe leaving for a little bit might be a smart idea." He said, offering a hand to help me up.
As I stood, he began to walk away, so I followed him. "Why aren't you in class?"
"Don't feel like it. You want to stay with me?"
"Kind of silly, isn't it? You don't even know my name or anything about me."
He stopped walking and turned around to face me. "Your name is Riley Harrison… you're in grade ten… and for some reason you have been sneaking around with Spinner."
I placed my hands on my hips and let out a sigh. "Okay fair enough, word must travel fast in this school."
By this time we had already started walking again. "Yeah it does. And it kind of helps that Spin is one of my friends."
"So he's told you every thing about me then, I'd imagine."
"No, nothing really. Just your name and that you're new."
That was it? That's all Spinner said to his friends? That I was just some new girl. It wasn't bad that he said what he said… in fact it was great. I didn't want people asking questions and Spinner telling them the answers.
I just felt that to him, I was more than just some new face. Whatever.
We walked for a while in complete silence. And for once I didn't feel like I had to ask questions or be uncomfortable. I was normal… just myself.
Then it dawned on me. I didn't even know his name. He was a complete mystery and I was ditching class with him. "So… um…" I stuttered as my words fell out. "What… what's your name?"
"Sean Cameron." He simply replied.
There. The mystery man had a name. A nice name, actually, simple. I liked that.
The day wasn't much of anything, we ended up just sitting in a local park. Plus, we barely talked. But that wasn't the point. I could tell that he was the lost soul, the one who always messed up. Kind of like me.
Every time I wanted to talk and ask him something, it was as if I was incapable of doing so. It wasn't like Sean was some spectacular guy, even if he was, I didn't know.
Just when I started thinking about what to say, he started laughing. "What made you hit Paige?" He asked through the laughter.
I lowered my head, looking at my bent knees. "She said something I didn't want her to say."
"Like what? It couldn't be that bad, she always picks on people."
"She found out that I went to an abortion clinic yesterday. Spinner was with me."
"Wait, hold on a second. You're pregnant? What, is like, Spin the father?" Sean asked in shock.
Shaking my head profusely, showing that indeed Spinner was not the father, I spoke with a hint of annoyance in my voice. "God no, not at all. I'm not even dating him, I guess he just wanted to help… it's a long story."
"So, did you end up having one?" He sounded as though he were somewhat curious.
"No, I decided on keeping the baby. I'm sixteen and pregnant…pretty cliché, right? And I can't even bare to tell my own mother about the situation." My voice went from sounding serious to completely pathetic. This was real. I was finally telling someone, other then Spinner, about my problem. My curse.
-----
Damn! Sorry for the long ass wait. I had major freaking writers block.
As you can tell I'm adding a new 'love interest' for Riley. The one, the only, Sean! I dunno, I think he kind of fits in pretty good. Tell me what ya'll think.
